Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       B      She's Out of My League (2010)      "Of all the Judd Apatow-era imitators, She's Out of My League is one of the better ones." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C-      Alice in Wonderland (2010)      "Burton and his team have put style over substance here, resulting in an uneven and frustrating experience." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Shutter Island (2010)      "To say this is Hitchcock-esque is an understatement. I wish the whole thing had been shot in black and white." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C-      Valentine's Day (2010)      "Some heartwarming moments do spring up here and there, but this more of a cinematic red carpet for current Hollywood talent than an actual movie." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C      Edge of Darkness (2010)      "...gets bogged down with a very talky script, little-to-no action, and a convoluted plot involving an energy corporation cover-up, corrupt government, and nuclear weapons." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D-      When in Rome (2010)      "We're not talking Because I Said So bad, but at least Couples Retreat bad." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C      Extraordinary Measures (2010)      "...a film so bent on hiding and joking its way around its subject matter that it simply becomes a TV movie with recognizable faces." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      The Book of Eli (2010)      "Water and Chap Stick may be difficult to come by in the post-apocalyptic world of The Book of Eli, but ammunition certainly is not." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Youth in Revolt (2010)      "It has a good heart, is well-made, and will definitely get the job done as a savior from the January doldrums that are bound to surface in the coming weeks." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C      Sherlock Holmes (2009)      "As a Christmas diversion, it will work for some. As a tribute and effort to introduce Sherlock Holmes to a new generation, it's a notable disappointment." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)      "Capitalism: A Love Story is his [Moore's] most heated and searing film since Fahrenheit 9/11, but not necessarily his best." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C+      Invictus (2009)      "We should be leaving the theater in awe of what was accomplished, but the movie feels too by-the-books and unfortunately does not leave a lasting impression." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C      2012 (2009)      "If you feel like you've seen all this genre has to offer, save your ten dollars and take comfort that you're probably right." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D      Couples Retreat (2009)      "There's only one winner in this film, and it's Applebee's. Take my word for it and watch some Travel Channel instead." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      Zombieland (2009)      "Director Ruben Fleischer and his team have crafted one of the most enjoyable black comedies of the year." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C      Extract (2009)      "While familiar comedic chords are struck, the film feels unfocused and incomplete." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Public Enemies (2009)      "The narrative has a few holes, but on the whole this will please fans of the genre and those looking for an accessible document of John Dillinger's life." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C-      Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)      "In what has been an alarmingly weak summer, Transformers 2 really doesn't contribute much to improve it." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A-      The Hangover (2009)      "The Hangover is a breathless stroke of comedic genius; one of those movies where, when it comes out on DVD and you have a bunch of friends over, you won't be able to watch just one scene." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      Star Trek (2009)      "This is premier summer entertainment." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      Observe and Report (2009)      "Here's the simplest way to put it: if you liked the over-the-top, brutal finale of Pineapple Express, you'll most likely find yourself enjoying Observe and Report..." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C+      The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)      "It's one of those movies where the reactions of those around you may be more entertaining than the film itself." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C+      The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)      "It's one of those movies where the reactions of those around you may be more entertaining than the film itself." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C      Watchmen (2009)      "Watchmen is no doubt a love letter to those who have been awaiting this film for two decades, but the drawbacks outweigh the advantages for the uninitiated." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      Friday the 13th (2009)      "Friday the 13th may be the only film I can think of that could roll the credits after the first twenty minutes and have most people leave happy." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      The International (2009)      "Real life aside, The International is a compelling and suspenseful thriller that features one of the best shootouts of the decade." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      Inkheart (2009)      "Plot holes notwithstanding, Inkheart is a well-timed and well-made family film that seems too good for the traditional January dumping grounds." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      Yes Man (2008)      "It's a formula picture all the way, but Carrey and the supporting cast sure make it seem better than that." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D      Seven Pounds (2008)      "Will Smith wants an Oscar. That much we understand. But if he thinks he can get one by playing a tragic character in very mediocre-to-bad movies, he's likely mistaken." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C      Four Christmases (2008)      "Four Christmases is simply all-too-familiar and exceedingly mediocre - and will likely be forgotten by the time we take down our Christmas trees." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Quantum of Solace (2008)      "While Casino Royale was the perfect mix of the old and new, Quantum of Solace, while oftentimes thrilling, is more of a downtrodden experience that only shows a sporadic sense of humor." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony            Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997)      "This is the kind of movie that Chuck Norris would have made 15 years ago, except there would be two dozen bad guys and plenty more excitement." [movie review]      rec.arts.movies.reviews       B      W. (2008)      "An Oliver Stone film often takes a few years to ripen, and it will be interesting to see how this biopic plays a decade or so down the road." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Body of Lies (2008)      "Body of Lies is certainly one of most well-crafted and intellectually engaging political thrillers to come along this year." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A-      Religulous (2008)      "Religulous will almost certainly not change your opinion of Maher, but the film is exceedingly well-made, intriguing, and awkwardly hilarious." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)      "This is about as innocent and well-intentioned as teen movies get any more." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D      Eagle Eye (2008)      "The screenwriters, four in all, and director D.J. Caruso completely squander any opportunity to be original and instead opt to make a generic and completely unsatisfying thriller." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C      Righteous Kill (2008)      "Remember Hide and Seek? Yeah, the twist is that obvious." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C+      Traitor (2008)      "...a thriller that's not suspenseful enough and a drama that is not daring enough." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      The House Bunny (2008)      "Her [Faris'] charisma and comic timing, coupled with the schizophrenic script by Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, makes The House Bunny a recommendable comedy." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Pineapple Express (2008)      "...the movie's pure energy and flawless comic timing make it a quality late summer diversion." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Step Brothers (2008)      "The majority of the gags, as crude as they can be, hit the mark and the interplay between Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly keeps the film from becoming a repetitive bore." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A+      The Dark Knight (2008)      "This is the kind of movie going experience that people tell their grand kids about." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C      Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)      "We've come to expect a lot in recent years in terms of storytelling with Batman Begins and its ilk, and Hellboy II still feels like a relic from four years ago that hasn't evolved with the rest of the field." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      WALL-E (2008)      "Only Pixar could pull off a story about robots in love with this much success." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Get Smart (2008)      "Though these adaptations usually produce horrific results, Get Smart is a cut above thanks to some fun performances and preposterously entertaining action." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      The Incredible Hulk (2008)      "It's loud and in-your-face, and it does maintain the same "we know this is crazy; just go with it" tone that made Iron Man so much fun." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)      "The fact of the matter is that this review doesn't matter." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A-      Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)      "That same smile you had as a wide-eyed ten-year-old will be duplicated as you watch this joyous cinematic exercise that cynics may believe is outdated and stale." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D+      Speed Racer (2008)      "The film is absurdly complicated for such a young demographic, and at 135 minutes it will be a monotonous chore for most others." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony
