A-
     (2003)      "Boyle transcends the geek show because he treats his characters with compassion and thoughtfulness." [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)      "Its themes and visual splendor demonstrably trump the sometimes-ludicrous bombast accompanying them." [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+
     (2005)      "As a star vehicle for Carell, as a raucous R-rated gigglefest, even as a sentimental date movie, it hits every target at which it aims." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B-
     (2004)      "It has a core of sweetness that's undeniable, and which allows the humor to grow beyond the fart jokes." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B-
     (2000)      "Though hardly on the level of great science fiction, it manages to produce an entertaining two hours...something very few of [Schwarzenegger's] recent films can claim." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2002)      "There's no power fantasies here, no ego trips or fairy tale stories about a loser made good. In this case, the persona serves the story, not the other way around." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
    
9
(2009)
     "It may not be a great film, but in its own way, it embodies the greatness of its chosen genre in ways no other piece of animation could." [movie review]      Mania.com   
  
A-
     (2006)      "It places Dick's nameless terrors as close as the beady-eyed gaze of our next-door neighbor -- a gaze that says, "I see you, buddy, and I know what you did."" [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2001)      "The fissures lurk throughout the film, but A.I. works around them quite admirably... until the unfortunate concluding sequence." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2006)      "Though it doesn't make Wilson's art any less obtuse, it certainly helps us connect to the man who created it." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
5/5
     (1951)      "One of the very best, both for Bogart and Hepburn." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
3/4
     (2009)      "Adults who grew up on the show can remember how enchanted they were by it and laugh quietly at such child-like wonder springing from such a rickety source." [movie review]      Sci-Fi Movie Page   
  
A
     (2000)      "Cameron Crowe has made a heartfelt piece of work that stands among his best: a love song to anyone who ever wanted to be cool...and never quite found their way." [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
     (2003)      "A one-of-a-kind wake-up call that begins and ends with Harvey Pekar. Without him, there is no movie; with him, there's a movie you can't resist." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2004)      "You finally got me, Will Ferrell. I surrender." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (1979)      "Coppola's magnum opus remains one of the singular reasons filmmaking was invented." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2001)      "…a longer, slower, more bloated version of [the] incendiary masterpiece which retains much of its power but suffers from some seriously unnecessary revisions." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2005)      "A modest film to be sure, but that modesty still packs a satisfying punch." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2002)      "[It turns] another Behind the Music sob story into a unique parable of life in front of the camera." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2006)      "Iñárritu's spiritual side combines with his insight into human nature to transcend the shakier elements." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2001)      "Bandits can't hope for any real originality, but hard work and intelligence can sometimes make an adequate substitute." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2008)      "Synergistic product promotion Gotham Knight may be, but the people behind it treat their efforts as anything but disposable." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A
     (2005)      "It knows what this character is about, and crafts an ode to everything that 65 years worth of fans have come to love." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2000)      "Bedazzled will make you laugh, loudly and with great frequency. With a film like this, nothing else really matters." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2003)      "It doesn't celebrate preposterousness so much as the reality hiding behind it, and the belief that the tale is always intermingled with he who tells it." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B-
     (1999)      "There's nothing actively wrong with The Big Kahuna, it simply feels more appropriate at a community theatre rather than the local multiplex." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2002)      "Though it can't match Sonnenfeld's best work, Big Trouble is more than up to the task before it." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A
     (2001)      "It isn't so much a yarn as an immersive experience, an attempt to convey the foot soldier's viewpoint in the most primal and immediate manner possible." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2007)      "[Brewer] takes fearsome advantage of the steaming sexuality and thick pulp on display, while underscoring it with a deep sense of intimacy." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A-
     (2002)      "It must be the end of the world: the best film so far this year is a franchise sequel starring Wesley Snipes." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A+
     (1984)      "A good filmmaker can make grim material watchable, but it takes a great one (or two) to make it fun." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A+
     (2000)      "A good filmmaker can make grim material watchable, but it takes a great one (or two) to make it fun." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B-
     (2009)      "[It] turns its collection of overused action/horror staples into... well... a kind of fun collection of overused action/horror staples." [movie review]      Mania.com   
  
B
     (2007)      "In many ways, it's no less stylish and no more substantive than Transformers. The only difference is that it assumes the audience is clever enough to keep up with it." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A
     (2002)      "Even if the world doesn't see things the way [Michael Moore] does, his questions are worth asking.… and Bowling for Columbine benefits from his iconoclastic zeal." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A-
     (2005)      "By seemingly renouncing overt politics, it makes a case for tolerance and understanding far more effectively than a film with a more direct agenda." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2006)      "Watching the film, one wonders what Lennon and McCartney would have done if they were fused together like the Howes." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2008)      "Burn After Reading aims for nothing but a few subversive giggles, which it delivers handily over the course of a quick 96 minutes." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
4/4
          "A quietly brilliant follow up to the equally masterful Battlestar Galactica reboot." [movie review]      Sci-Fi Movie Page   
  
B
     (2006)      "Where did it all go right?" [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A-
     (2006)      "This is no omnipotent superspy. He's a government bagman, making messy problems disappear in equally messy ways." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A
     (2002)      "A glorious metaphor about the price of riches, the power of lies, and the Bacchanalian excesses of the Jazz Age" [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2001)      "Though not as brilliant as Eve's Bayou, The Caveman's Valentine represents an admirable sophomore effort, and a terrific showcase for Samuel L. Jackson." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A-
     (2000)      "[John] Waters skewers every aspect of mainstream Hollywood, using the truly demented Demented… as a proxy howl of rage." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A-
     (2000)      "…it reminds one of the works of Clive Barker: strange, horrible and utterly unnerving." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2005)      "As good as it is at times, it's still missing a heart: the one thing about Dahl that postproduction can't insert." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B-
     (2006)      "The respectfulness... can't be denied, but beneath it lies an undue sense of entitlement: of big stars and big egos crashing a party where they're not entirely welcome." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium
