D+
     (2008)      "By trying to convince us that we're having a good time even as it pounds us senseless, Speed Racer moves beyond mediocrity and into the realm of active irritant." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2008)      "The director knows this world and the actor makes us care about it. Redbelt requires little more to make good on its promises." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2008)      "A few lowered expectations and a tolerance for the odd slow patch will serve you quite well in soaking up the dependable fun on display." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C+
     (2008)      "It relies too much on Spurlock's own personality to make simple and fairly obvious points in a manner which never offends, but certainly fails to linger." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C+
     (2008)      "Toto and Scarecrow were dropped from the project after demanding excessive residuals on the back end." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2008)      "Ayers makes the trip worthwhile largely through his excellent eye for asphalt level L.A. and his careful attention to Ludlow's moral dilemma." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B-
     (2008)      "Murro works overtime to find the humanity in his characters, and with help from the cast, the search eventually pays off." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C
     (2008)      "A well-meaning movie fatally dazzled by the very nostalgia it's drowning in." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C-
     (2008)      "I probably should have given it a lower grade, but I really, really like watching Laurence Fishburne hurt people." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C
     (2008)      "It ambles along pleasantly, produces a few chuckles, and is forgotten by the time you pass the popcorn counter on the way out of the theater." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
F
     (2008)      "The appalling sadism it eagerly employs in the name of, well, decrying sadism, becomes all the more infuriating when Funny Games repeatedly tells us it's for our own good." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D
     (2008)      "My poor brain hung in there for as long as it could, but it lost its grip during the giant chicken attack and I haven't seen it since." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D
     (2008)      "As sorority party filler or a double bill with the likes of Cruel Intentions, this movie can't be beat." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D+
     (2008)      "The most unintentionally hilarious film so far this year." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D+
     (2008)      "A movie of marvelous little moments framing giant dumb contrivances." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2008)      "The mood never wavers, allowing The Spiderwick Chronicles to develop into an exciting and largely watertight adventure." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C+
     (2008)      "[Its] joys stand alone and isolated amid a well-intentioned film that never quite connects the dots." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D
     (2008)      "Director Andy Tennant seems to have found a mythical Zen space of bad comedic timing." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2008)      "Full of black humor and sharp comedic jabs, but with an undercurrent of genuine soul searching." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D+
     (2008)      "I suppose this is what we get for encouraging the man." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium

B
     (2008)      "When freed from unreasonable expectations, it turns out to be a modest little gas." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2007)      "Any time Sayles clicks with his material this succinctly, the results are thrilling." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C+
     (2007)      "Nothing ruins a pretty good movie more than calling it great, and with Atonement, even 'pretty good' feels like a stretch." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A
     (2007)      "An Old Testament bellow of ferocity and pain that seduces us on so many levels you'd swear you could see the fourth wall tumbling down around our ears." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2007)      "It may not be Burton's best film, or his most innovative, but it always stays faithful to his uniquely haunted soul." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C
     (2007)      "Each successive development in the increasingly ludicrous narrative saps a little more of the goodwill engendered by the early scenes." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C-
     (2007)      "Like its protagonists, The Golden Compass stands fundamentally isolated from its soul; unlike them, it hasn't the first idea where it left the bloody thing." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A-
     (2007)      "Juno is neither Page nor Cody nor Reitman, but her own fully realized person, speaking to us in the extraordinary rhythm of real life." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2007)      "Suburban paranoia and primitive savagery conspire to create far deeper terrors than the creatures which emerge from the titular fog." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C+
     (2007)      "The plasticine puppetry of the central figures still lacks that essential spark required to bring them to life." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A-
     (2007)      "It thunders with the mordant wit, blood-soaked pessimism, and human folly that mark their unique auteurial stamp." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D
     (2007)      "Beyond its basic concept, Bee Movie hasn't the first idea where to go." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2007)      "Scott's auteurial stamp lends the film a badly needed sense of distinction." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A
     (2007)      "It focuses on its own unique voice, and trusts that those who want to hear it will follow." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
F
     (1980)      "I suppose certain college fraternities could make screening it part of their hazing rituals." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B-
     (2007)      "In order to enjoy the best, you have to put up with the worst... and rarely have "best" and "worst" commingled quite so completely." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A-
     (2007)      "Planet Terror was always the superior half of the Grindhouse double bill because it embraced the spirit of the endeavor so completely." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C-
     (2007)      "A failure on most any appreciable level: as compelling drama, as a history lesson, as a showcase for Blanchett's unparalleled talents... even as a sequel." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C+
     (2007)      "While the cons do finally outweigh the pros... oh what marvelous pros they are." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C

B
     (2007)      "Convincing technical details gathered for the purpose of a good yarn with only the vaguest connection to the grown-up world." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C+

B-
     (2007)      "If you want to do this material justice... hold off on it until the release of Planet Terror and then watch them both together." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2007)      "A fascinating entry into a little-understood subculture." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D
     (2007)      "Across the Universe actually renders the greatest rock and roll music ever written as desperate and irritating as Britney Spears' flop sweat." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C+
     (2007)      "It looks slick, but without a little more steak beneath that sizzle, the pretense becomes intolerable." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2007)      "Not quite on par with the 1957 version, perhaps, but certainly acting as a proper update instead of just a lazy rehash." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2007)      "The best guilty pleasure of the summer... arriving just a couple of weeks too late." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D+
