[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       B+      21 Eyes (2005)      "21 Eyes is a courageous, absorbing, and unique piece of indie filmmaking." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      27 Dresses (2008)      "Sure it's predictable, but what do you want in this movie? A sad ending? That would be called a drama." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D      300 (2007)      "300 is poorly-executed, bare-bones storytelling that is hoping and praying no one notices. I did." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      50 First Dates (2004)      "I had hard time believing that someone as shallow as Henry would all of the sudden drop everything in his life for this girl, but the film is surprisingly winning." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      Accepted (2006)      "Accepted may seem tired and monotonous topically, but it is also proof positive that a solid leading comic performance can take an otherwise ho-hum premise and cruise it to victory." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       F      Aeon Flux (2005)      "I usually bypass puns based upon a film's title, but here I can't help myself: Aeon Flux is a flux-up of prodigious proportions." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C-      Alien vs. Predator (2004)      "I am very happy to report that Alien Vs. Predator is not a complete disaster." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       F      Alone in the Dark (2005)      "As long as director Uwe Boll is given money to make films, we are guaranteed at least one unintentionally uproarious gut-buster a year." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      Along Came Polly (2004)      "The story is stale, but the execution is above average." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      American Dreamz (2006)      "...a sharp satire in a time when we need as many laughs as we can get at our own expense." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      American Gangster (2007)      "American Gangster is good old-fashioned knuckles-to-the-jaw entertainment." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D-      The Amityville Horror (2005)      "I have a small bit of admiration for a film that actually tries to be worse than Hide and Seek." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D-      Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004)      "So who is this movie for? Based on my experience at the theater, kids who just turned thirteen yesterday." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C-      Annapolis (2006)      "Annapolis is the kind of hybrid military movie that can really only be truly enjoyed with diminished expectations and a sharp sense of parody." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      Apocalypto (2006)      "The simplistic premise serves the film fine in terms of action and awe-inspiring moments, but it does next to nothing when it comes to historical value -- something I was hoping for, even in the slightest." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D-      Are We There Yet? (2005)      "It's never too early to start that 'Worst of 2005' list, and Are We There Yet? is already a worthy contender." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)      "A gritty, violent journey that's about twice as good as you'd expect it to be." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D+      The Astronaut Farmer (2007)      "In terms of message, the film haphazardly succeeds, but the poorly-decided path to get there on Farmer's part won't wash with anyone except the kids who are too young to understand." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      Baadasssss! (2004)      "It is so refreshing to see a film with not one wasted second, beautiful acting, and a total understanding of its source material." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A-      Babel (2006)      "How much you enjoy Babel will be based entirely on your degree of cynicism." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A-      Bad Santa (2003)      "For those who loathe the holidays or have a blacker-than-normal sense of humor, this is best gift you could possibly get this holiday season." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Balls of Fury (2007)      "Balls of Fury loses some steam as it enters its second half, but it never comes close to derailing thanks to the impressive Ping-Pong action and Walken's increasingly weird Feng." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      Batman Begins (2005)      "Batman Begins is an overwhelming success that will please fanboys foremost and average, patient moviegoers second." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      The Battle of Shaker Heights (2003)      "An above-average teen film with a witty screenplay and undeniable charm." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D-      Be Cool (2005)      "I can only recommend you 'be cool' and avoid this vanity project dreck." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       F-      Because I Said So (2007)      "Apparently retrieved from a dumpster, labeled "Rejected Sitcom Brain Farts," at the Universal back lot and Scotch-taped back together, the screenplay can only be described as a crime against moviegoers worldwide." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C      The Benchwarmers (2006)      "To my shock, The Benchwarmers is not as unwatchable as one would expect -- and this is coming from someone who detests Napoleon Dynamite, is tired of David Spade, and could do without Rob Schneider any given day." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Bewitched (2005)      "If at first you don't succeed, just rewind. See the film and you'll get it." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Biker Boyz (2003)      "At times entertaining, but never boring. It sure could have been a lot worse." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C-      Blade: Trinity (2004)      "A pale shadow to the much superior first two films." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Blades of Glory (2007)      "Instead of just trying to be gross, as so many comedies resort to, Blades of Glory actually knows comedy and when a situation has been stretched for all it's worth. Fortunately there is a scene of equal or greater comedy on deck." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A-      Blood Diamond (2006)      "It's one of those movies that looks run-of-the-mill in a synopsis, but all of the talent elements come together and something special is born." [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       B+      Bollywood and Vine (2005)      "Jordon's script is loaded with witty dialogue and well-developed characters." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C-      Boogeyman (2005)      "Teenagers will probably have a blast with the cheap scares and simplistic story, but for horror veterans or those looking for something new, this is not the film to see." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A-      Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)      "Truly smart comedy is hard to come by these days, but Cohen has delivered a simultaneously uproarious and thought-provoking experience." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A-      The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)      "From a purely visceral standpoint, The Bourne Ultimatum may be the clincher for fans who want a literal two-hour chase film." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D+      The Brave One (2007)      "The Brave One is glossy trash masquerading as a meaningful and important drama, and that's the biggest shame of all." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Breach (2007)      "This is one of the more engaging spy stories to come along over the past few years and genre fans should eat it up." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D+      The Break-Up (2006)      "...a gloomy mishmash of ideas that never comes together and is hardly ever fun to watch." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      Bride and Prejudice (2005)      "While the film is slightly flawed, it is impossible to outright dislike it." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      Brokeback Mountain (2005)      "...a courageous, transcendent film that may prove to be a landmark down the line in the Hollywood landscape." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      Broken Lizard's Club Dread (2004)      "One of the better horror parodies, which if you ask me has been done to death." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      Bruce Almighty (2003)      "Bruce Almighty is the kind of movie that Jim Carrey should stick to." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Cars (2006)      "The film is easily their [Pixar's] weakest effort to date, but Pixar on a bad day is better than most studios on a good day." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A-      Casino Royale (2006)      "As portrayed by Daniel Craig, 007 now has more depth and emotion than ever, and the result is one of the best Bond movies ever made." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A-      Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)      "A courageous return to form for Burton...films this imaginative and daring do not come along often." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C      Chicken Little (2005)      "Oftentimes we can only fully appreciate something when we are deprived of it. On that note, please come back Pixar. We miss you already." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony
