3.5/5
     (2006)      "2 A.M. isn’t a perfect film, but there’s quite a lot to be admired of here. I look forward to seeing what Coleman does next and I really believe Sonya Tsuchigane is someone to watch." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2008)      "Being creative is scary and personal and when you involve other people in the creative process you have to trust them or find a way to get what you want. And that happens here as do laughs, gasps, confusion and terror both real and internalized." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2007)      "You won’t be disappointed." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3/5
     (2007)      "A nice textbook on how to use the camera in a confined space." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2008)      "I wouldn’t say there’s any big life lessons being told here, but the story of Owen Norris coming of age in the harsh light of reality is intriguing stuff." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2006)      "Between the stand-up routines and the day to day craziness, there’s hardly a chance to catch your breath." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2.5/5
     (2003)      "Even if a good heist/grift movie struggles in places, a good payoff will still make it work and that is definitely the case here." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3.5/5
     (2006)      "Everyone knows that illegal immigration is a problem, but there's really no answer to be found. Crossing Arizona does a nice job covering all sides of the issue." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2006)      "While the film has some funky flaws, it’s a terrific satire and is downright hilarious." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2003)      "I don't know where screenwriter Steve Knight has been hiding, but this film is really original and creative." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3.5/5
     (2003)      "Weinstock adds such realism to her script and such great characters, you can't help but like this film even if it does sort of follow a formula." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2006)      "Fast Food Nation makes you really think. It’s also really sad and fairly disgusting. But if that’s the bitter pill we have to swallow in order to look at what we’re doing to ourselves, then it’s a bad taste I can live with." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3.5/5
     (2007)      "It’s suspenseful and kind of scary." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3/5
     (2002)      "While many questions and motivations are left unanswered, overall the film wins out with its stark truths and slightly twisted pay off's along the way." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2005)      "As the film progresses and as Matt falls deeper and deeper into the firm, you can honestly believe that the transformation is real." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3.5/5
     (2006)      "A really dry, funny and sad film." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4.5/5
     (2006)      "It's the heart and honesty throughout the film that make it unforgettable." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4.5/5
     (2006)      "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints is a great film. It's the truthfulness to the time and the characters that elevate the film to something far above a cliche." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2006)      "Half Nelson pulls it all together with a closing scene that's very touching and highly memorable." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2007)      "Each film [director Swanberg] does is a little more of an evolution in style and form and Hannah Takes the Stairs is like watching a natural progression of talent." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4.5/5
     (2009)      "Bob Byington's "Harmony and Me" is an indie gem that isn't at all what it appears to be at first glance." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3.5/5
     (2006)      "The film manages to draw the viewer in by combining a biography with classic elements of mystery, suspense and family drama." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2008)      "The characters are so well defined, the acting so top-notch and the cinematography so stunning, I was able to forgive what I saw as script issues." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2009)      "Humpday is like a peek into the brain of dudes and it’s either funny or discomforting depending on if you’re a guy or a girl. As a guy, I only prayed my wife wasn’t catching on." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
     (2008)      "Yes, "Hunger" is a fairly nasty affair and we don't even get to the starvation part until the third act." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3.5/5
     (2004)      "Paul Weitz is able to walk the line between honesty and sappiness over and over and he does it to perfection in In Good Company." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2007)      "One of the most powerful films I’ve seen in years." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
5/5
     (2006)      "Imagine what the cinema world would be like if more great directors threw caution to the wind and followed their artistic vision." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2004)      "This is a movie about growing up and taking responsibility for one's actions and Affleck does a wonderful job." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2004)      "Smith reinvents the romantic-comedy by making a film about a man in love with his kid." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2005)      "Not only does the film look amazing, it covers many layers of relationships in a way I've never seen before." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2005)      "A totally engrossing and extremely disturbing doc on many levels." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3.5/5
     (2008)      "An intriguing and provocative thriller." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4.5/5
     (2006)      "Little Children is outstanding and I think it will be one of those films that people don’t really recognize it’s greatness until a few years down the road." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3/5
     (2006)      "The film has a fairy tale feel to it and it's sort of fun." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2006)      "Swanberg continues to grow as a filmmaker and I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3.5/5
     (2006)      "A simple, no frills story-line told with total deadpan humor that fits in perfectly with the downward spiral of Jim's life." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2004)      "So brave and visually impressive, it should demand an audience." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2004)      "Kosar has ... constructed an exercise in existentialism that is so literal it’s a true feat that he was able to reign it all back in for the somewhat tidy ending of this film." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
5/5
     (2008)      "Let’s hope we don’t have to wait so long to see what Korine will do next." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2004)      "Subtle, funny and touching." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2005)      "Not only is that message loud and clear but the movie is also funny, exciting and awkward as we literally go through every emotion with the extremely self-conscious Herzlinger." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3/5
     (2005)      "By the end of Mysterious Skin, I felt physically exhausted but I also felt satisfied at the way it all falls into place." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
     (2009)      "While I can't say I'm fully convinced the people profiled in "New World Order" are onto anything resembling "the truth," I will say again, there are some compelling truths to be found in the film and by the Alex Jones acolytes." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3.5/5
     (2005)      "A film of quiet beauty, striking comedy and touching truths." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3/5
     (2006)      "I do think people need to see this movie to understand where we're headed due to wasteful and greedy pigheadedness." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3/5
     (2004)      "Even though I knew all along this movie was totally manipulating me, I followed along on the terrifying ride. I feel so dirty and used. For that, Kentis and his great cast deserve big props." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4.5/5
     (2006)      "Pan’s Labyrinth is one of those underdog films that needs to be seen and I encourage anyone who likes movies of any kind to check it out." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2003)      "Peter Hedges has made a simple and sweet movie that will leave you misty eyed." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2003)      "A simple and sweet movie that will leave you misty eyed." [movie review]      Film Threat
