Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       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       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       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       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       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       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       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       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       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       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       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       B-      Click (2006)      "Those going in expecting Happy Gilmore Gets A Remote will be gravely disappointed." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Cloverfield (2008)      "It's an event movie in January, and when was the last time we had one of those? Experience it on the big screen with an enthusiastic crowd." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A-      Collateral (2004)      "Collateral takes a premise that is otherwise flawed and makes it into one of the most compelling films of the summer." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Confusions of an Unmarried Couple (2009)      "These guys have the skills, and in a time of monotonous, poorly executed, and introspective-free Hollywood romantic drivel, there's plenty of opportunity." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      Constantine (2005)      "Let's drop the bias and negativity and cut to the chase here: Reeves is good in this role." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      Crash (2005)      "Some may find the film too melodramatic, but the core topic demands attention." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Cursed (2005)      "Cursed may as well be retitled Guilty Pleasure, because that's exactly what it is." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      The Da Vinci Code (2006)      "It doesn't fit the standard mold of the summer season (this seems much more like a Fall release), but The Da Vinci Code is a mystery worth the indulgence." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Dan in Real Life (2007)      "Carell, who is quickly building an impressive big screen resume, shines and brings the rest of the film up a few notches in the process." [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       B+      Dark Water (2005)      "Salles has crafted a moody, even gothic, psychological thriller that never fails to hold the viewer's interest." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Dawn of the Dead (2004)      "At last, a horror remake worth the watch." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      Definitely, Maybe (2008)      "How is this for a proposition? From now on, Working Title Films is the only production company that is allowed to make films in this genre." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A-      The Departed (2006)      "This is remarkably compelling cinema driven by some of the best talent in the business." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005)      "Call me immoral, call me insensitive, call me lewd, but I laughed." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      The Devil Wears Prada (2006)      "...a film for adults that seems refreshing with its lack of superheroes, special effects, and a bloated runtime." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)      "It feels like a Die Hard movie, and that in itself is a tremendous compliment." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Disturbia (2007)      "With a new gore fest being released on a near-weekly basis these days, it's nice to see a thriller come down the pike that gets under your skin the old-fashioned way: without showing you much of anything." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      Doom (2005)      "High art and smart sci-fi it is not, but you have to hand it to a film that plays its cards right, lays everything out on the table, and goes for broke." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony
