     (2009)      "Trick 'r Treat sequals" [movie review]      E! Online   
  
     (2009)      "Brutal, daring and utterly unpedictable - three qualities quite rare in movies these days." [movie review]      MTV   
  
     (2009)      "Siegel's shots are dirty, his dialogue sharp, and his knack for avoiding cliches is rare; Oswalt's performance is a selfless, measured descent into madness that deserves some sort of award" [movie review]      MTV   
  
     (2008)      "Is "Spring Breakdown" as good as "Mean Girls"? Or even as good as "Baby Mama"? No, not quite. But it's funny enough to be in the same neighborhood, and that makes it well worth a recommendation." [movie review]      MTV   
  
     (2009)      "The script feels about ten re-writes short of being filmable." [movie review]      MTV   
  
     (2009)      ""Helen" is a very heavy film. Heavier than Rosie O'Donnell at a Hometown Buffet." [movie review]      MTV   
  
     (2009)      "The most impressive thing about Krasinski's direction is his self-assured ability to know when it's time to mix in visual elements, and when it's best to simply point a camera at a good storyteller and let the actor speak." [movie review]      MTV   
  
     (2010)      "Tribeca Film Festival Begins With Woody Allen's 'Whatever Works'" [movie review]      MTV   
  
B-
     (2008)      "The film plays like "The Notebook," if James Garner's character had been convicted murderer." [movie review]      MTV   
  
B-
     (2008)      "It's got more gunplay than your local post office, enough close-ups of the female posterior to make Sir Mix-a-Lot blush, and so many dirty words it'll likely be banned before you finish reading this sentence." [movie review]      MTV   
  
A-
     (2008)      "The flick plays like "Rushmore" meets "The Usual Suspects," alongside shout-outs to everything from "Sixteen Candles" to "Chinatown" to "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."" [movie review]      MTV   
  
     (1957)      "Mulligan does his best to get around Perkins’ lack of baseball credibility, even laughably avoiding any shots of him fielding a groundball during the shortstop experiment." [dvd review]      FilmStew.com   
  
     (2005)      "Day-Lewis IS Jack, but no matter how large a font you could use on that capitalized two-letter word, it still wouldn’t do his performance justice." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
     (1999)      "Our 10 Favorite Easter Eggs" [dvd review]      MTV   
  
     (2005)      "Some kind of special Oscar needs to be created for Bruno Ganz, who transformation into Adolf Hitler shatters clichés." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
     (2005)      "If your idea of a good time is watching your favorite cartoon classics butchered by a CGI dog and a creepy baby resembling a deleted scene from The Polar Express, then..." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
     (2005)      "Here’s hoping that Keanu Reeves begins to get a bit of respect with Constantine, and that Francis Lawrence doesn’t get sold short for doing a tentpole film." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
     (2004)      "When the DVD was done, I had to check the couch for soiling. It was an absolutely rapturous feeling, bestowed by a brilliantly simple movie whose only mission is to terrify." [dvd review]      FilmStew.com   
  
     (2003)      "Imagine an hour of birds flying backwards and rooms with red curtains, and there’s the rest of your movie." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
4/5
     (2005)      "Inspirational, entertaining and gripping." [movie review]      IGN Movies   
  
C
     (2005)      "Old McDonald had a farm, EEIEEIO. And on that farm there was no clear sense of direction, EEIEEIO." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
A+
     (2004)      "A small, honest, emotionally complex film, Hotel Rwanda simultaneously destroys and reaffirms your belief in the intrinsic goodness of man." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
D-
     (2005)      "Michael Keaton stares at a fuzzy TV image, waiting for something to happen; we stare at Michael Keaton, waiting for the same." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
B-
     (2004)      "The artist formerly known as Keyser Soze reminds us with every classic high note in the titular song that we’re listening to a facsimile with a weaker range." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
B
     (2004)      "Streisand and Hoffman are a hoot, the most entertaining Haight-Ashbury movie refugees since Lily Tomlin and Alan Alda similarly tormented Stiller in Flirting With Disaster." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
B
     (2004)      "This commingling of Down and Out in Beverly Hills and El Norte is best described by the following Spanglish phrase: Una less than caliente James L. Brooks." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
C-
     (2004)      "Let’s hope Paramount’s deal with AFLAC includes cinematic disaster insurance. Because this one’s about as memorable as Carrey’s old sitcom The Duck Factory." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
C-
     (2004)      "Presiding over it all is an absurdly indestructible baddie who combines Zamfir's mastery of the pan flute with a flawless mimicry of Prince circa Purple Rain." [dvd review]      FilmStew.com   
  
B+
     (2004)      "The best biopic you’re likely to see this year won’t be coming to a theater near you." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
B+
     (2004)      "We're all goofy goobers deep down inside, and it's great news that there's finally a movie that invites us to embrace it." [movie review]      Countingdown.com   
  
B-
     (2004)      "With Roger Dodger, Kidd knew that his strength was in creating two compelling characters, so he left everyone else in the background. This time he's stretching, and it shows." [movie review]      Valley Scene Magazine   
  
3/5
     (2004)      "Flashes of brilliance which are ultimately squandered." [movie review]      IGN Movies   
  
B+
     (2004)      "As a die-hard Red Sox fan, the highest praise I can give Pixar's latest is that it held my full attention after a madcap and largely sleepless Victory Parade weekend." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
C
     (2004)      "Foxx, like Will Smith in Ali, has perfected a party trick rather than a performance. Give him some sunglasses, let him rock back and forth, and he does a great Ray Charles." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
B-
     (2004)      "In the context of the film, the scene where Anna and Sean make the rubber ducky blush is perfectly appropriate." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
B+
     (2004)      "Crudup is astounding as a man playing a woman who is forced to become a man once again, but insists he can only play a man when he’s portraying a woman portraying that man." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
1/5
     (2004)      "Goes beyond simply being a bad movie, to the point where it becomes one that insults your intelligence." [movie review]      IGN Movies   
  
C
     (2005)      "Probably the least controversial “controversial” documentary ever made." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
B-
     (2004)      "As refreshing as it may be to see Duff shed tears, drop the 'like' and wear shirts that don’t show off her midriff, this is more of a baby step than a giant leap forward." [movie review]      Countingdown.com   
  
B+
     (1998)      "Rarely has desperation been so intriguing, or so unabashedly sexy. " [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
C
     (2004)      "Butler has 2 goals: to show that Kerry was a hero and that Vietnam was wrong. Well, give any sensible person 5 minutes of your time and they could do it much more efficiently." [movie review]      IGN Movies   
  
B+
     (2004)      "If Phoenix is destined for greatness, this, his upcoming Johnny Cash biopic and last year’s Buffalo Soldiers may be looked back on as the time he finally hit his stride." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
A-
     (2004)      "Wait until Francis Ford Coppola gets a load of this gem. It is every bit the movie that his long gestating On the Road should become." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
B+
     (2001)      "A gut-wrenching, unpredictable and gleeful romp through experimental television, Lost cranks up the adrenaline early and keeps it flowing throughout its premiere episode." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
B
     (2004)      "A remarkable feat...the audience not only becomes part of the film, but becomes young again." [movie review]      IGN Movies   
  
C-
     (2004)      "...leaves the audience wondering whether it should laugh along or simply wince." [movie review]      Countingdown.com   
  
B+
     (2004)      "Very much the movie Metallica: Some Kind of Monster should have been. It captures a band at its peak, rather than just wallowing in the desperation that sets in years later." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
C-
     (2004)      "Rarely have so many bad accents been on display, from the wandering German of the evil Major Cain to could-that-be-Russian? of two soon to be chomped soldiers." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
C-
     (2004)      "The CGI snakes are so blatantly computer-based that you expect them to occasionally pause and say ‘You’ve got mail!" [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
B-
     (2004)      "Still going strong at the respective ages of 69 and 68, director Garry Marshall and his singing co-star Julie Andrews are the true royal couple of this straightforward sequel." [movie review]      FilmStew.com
