3/5
     (2009)      "The general incomprehensibility is further hampered by poor subtitles and a stoic tone which suggests it's taking itself much too seriously" [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
5/5
     (1965)      "Its ability to conjure monsters from its heroine's id remains unparalleled." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
4.5/5
     (2009)      "A Serious Man isn't an easy film to enjoy, but that's kind of the point." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
3.5/5
     (1985)      "It's like a colossal buffet: You take what you want and leave the rest, readily forgiving the worst of it because the best just tastes so good." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
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   
  
C+
     (2007)      "Evokes the author's good points as well as his bad, but like its fast-talking hero, it was in trouble the minute the door closed behind it." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C+
     (2001)      "So eager is this film to grapple with its demons, that it doesn't realize how much like them it has become." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C
     (2006)      "Time and again, it paints its heroes into a series of fascinating corners, only to set them free with uninspired and compulsory waves of its hand." [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   
  
A-
     (2003)      "Boyle transcends the geek show because he treats his characters with compassion and thoughtfulness." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C+
     (2007)      "28 Weeks Later holds itself to the same standards as its brilliant predecessor, but those very standards also accentuate its shortcomings." [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   
  
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   
  
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
     (2000)      "…its status as an event picture and insistence upon live action mar what should have been a delightful romp." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D
     (2005)      "Not even the sight of Theron in stylized bondage gear can atone for the muddled story, hackneyed action, and dulled-down effects." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
5/5
     (1951)      "One of the very best, both for Bogart and Hepburn." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C
     (2004)      "A lot of pretty postcards and some nice fellas we don't mind hanging out with -- okay for a historic landmark, but thin soup for a would-be epic." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D
     (2004)      "A great thunderous wreck, loud as a gong and just as hollow." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C+
     (2001)      "Though technically polished… it feels curiously ordinary, a word one never associates with Muhammad Ali." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C-
     (2006)      "All we're left with is some bayou postcards and Penn screaming from the pulpit: sound and fury that, like too many other pieces of Southern Gothic, signify nothing." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
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   
  
F
     (2005)      "The three stars have seen better days, but I'd like to think they could still do something classier and more dignified than this. Like gay porn." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C
     (2001)      "With the post-Silence glut of serial killer films, it takes a lot to make an impression, and Along Came a Spider lacks that all-important spark." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C
     (2004)      "Aids its cause with its inherent harmlessness, but the end result is too off-the-shelf to appeal to any but the most ardent romantic-comedy lovers." [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   
  
C
     (2005)      "As a horror movie, it may be barely adequate, but as an Amityville movie, it takes all comers." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2004)      "You finally got me, Will Ferrell. I surrender." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D
     (2004)      "It compounds what to some of us are already fatal errors, while bringing nothing new to those who love the stage version so dearly." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C
     (2009)      "I don't dislike Angels & Demons; I just have no respect for it intellectually." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D+
     (2003)      "This is lazy filmmaking, squandering a decent notion solely because no one cared enough to make the effort." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D
     (2006)      "Real-life military trainers -- regardless of gender -- never make you say, 'Wow you're hot!' They make you say, 'I'll do whatever you want, please don't hurt me.'" [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   
  
C+
     (2006)      "You're not likely to forget the experience, but one can't help but wonder who would want to go through it in the first place." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C+
     (2008)      "The parts of it that work, work very well... so much so in fact that the parts which don't simply can't keep up." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D+
     (2000)      "Sun Tzu believed that becoming predictable would lead to disaster. Apparently, the creators of The Art of War couldn't be bothered to take him to heart. " [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C+
     (2007)      "The sheer craftsmanship on display ensures a modicum of goodwill, but at two hours and 40 minutes, even the most patient souls may begin to squirm." [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   
  
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   
  
D
     (2002)      "…flop sweat is never shagadelic, baby." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium
