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   
  
1.5/5
     (2003)      "This is just another boxing movie with few surprises and an awkward message to viewers." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
1/5
     (2008)      "August doesn’t make a lot of sense nor does it seem to have a message or point." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2/5
     (2005)      "[It] just isn't a very good movie." [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   
  
2/5
     (2005)      "Stories are told about Eggleston but he's never asked to comment on them. It's highly frustrating." [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   
  
2/5
     (2006)      "The film drags on (no pun intended) and doesn't impart the kind of emotional immersion I think Everson was aiming for." [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   
  
2/5
     (2003)      "I walked out of it saying, 'so what?'" [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   
  
2/5
     (2002)      "Not-so-nifty camera tricks did little to mask a downright lame script and the plot twists were crushingly heavy handed and unoriginal." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3.5/5
     (2007)      "It’s suspenseful and kind of scary." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
1/5
     (2006)      "These chatty, pedantic, annoying characters are simply not interesting enough to follow for five minutes, let alone over two hours." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2/5
     (2008)      "While the film has some laugh out-loud moments, it's very poorly constructed and what we see onscreen seems to be the victim of either bad editing, poor direction or a script that was rushed into production too quickly." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2.5/5
     (2006)      "Friends With Money is entertaining and highly watchable but in the end, it just feels trite." [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)      "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   
  
4.5/5
     (2006)      "It's the heart and honesty throughout the film that make it unforgettable." [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   
  
     (2009)      "Let me be clear here: I hated this movie. I hated it so much I couldn't even bring myself to laugh at how awful it was." [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   
  
2/5
     (2007)      "After 45 minutes of seeing this hard work, we get the point." [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   
  
1/5
     (2004)      "The shaky plot, heavy handed 'symbolism,' bad accents and a story line that had me walking the line between laughter and bored screams nearly made me get up and leave." [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   
  
     (2009)      "Be it dead serious, moronic racecar driver Ricky Bobby or idiotic, deadpan Ron Burgandy, Ferrell has managed to create quite the niche for himself as the honest, earnest moron." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2.5/5
     (2005)      "As a whole, it just seems like we've seen it all before." [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
