8/10
     (2007)      "Works so well as a musical that I can't remember anymore what it was like when it wasn't one." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
8/10
     (2006)      "Gets points for its uniqueness of angle and for operating almost entirely in shades of grey." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
5/10
     (2008)      "Only half a good movie -- the whole of it becomes confusing, disappointing, and non-sensical." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
4/10
     (2001)      "An amusing ride with the doctor is all you really get out of Hannibal, and not much else." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
5/10
     (2007)      "Might be enough to give viewers some vicarious thrills, but it's a little disconcerting for me to see Hannibal Lecter becoming less dimensional with each new movie." [movie review]      ReelTalk Movie Reviews   
  
3/10
     (2008)      "More than anything, what bothers me about it is a sense of cheapness that ... centrally comes from a concept mainly built for shock value." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
8/10
     (2006)      "It gets strange ... we have many scenes of (realistic-looking) penguins just singing, singing to themselves or to each other, singing songs of every style." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
8/10
     (2008)      "Almost like viewing a nature documentary. I could imagine David Attenborough's voice: 'See here this woman whose way of positively viewing life can grate on those around her.'" [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
7/10
     (2005)      "Strong one-on-one acting elevates this table-turning horror show." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
7/10
     (2008)      "I think that's the greatest thing about these Harold & Kumar movies. They make stereotyping look ridiculous." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
8/10
     (2004)      "Funny and brave; it's tradition with a refreshing new twist." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
9/10
     (2002)      "Doing away with the formalities helps Chamber of Secrets immensely, allowing it to concentrate on unfolding its involving mystery, using the running time to pace the action and the development." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
9/10
     (2005)      "There's little to feel wonder towards this time, as danger, insecurity, and awkwardness loom large and overshadow any magical discoveries." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
7/10
     (2009)      "On the whole, it's a fine film, and yet I'm disappointed that it didn't more greatly acknowledge the gravity of the impending conflict." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
9/10
     (2007)      "Yates doesn't miss a beat -- Harry is still angry and conflicted, and the world around him appears to grow even more unfair." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
10/10
     (2004)      "Everything a Harry Potter movie should be, an awesome visual world housing the volatile heart of a teenager." [movie review]      ReelTalk Movie Reviews   
  
8/10
     (2001)      "An admirable spectacle, a real thriller for the kids and the kid in all of us, but ... straightforward and workmanlike." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
7/10
     (2003)      "The Haunted Mansion is goofy fun." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
5/10
     (2004)      "Feels very much like a rush job -- it's in so much of a hurry, in fact, that even the dancing suffers." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
6/10
     (2003)      "Head of State, wacky jokes and all, turns out to be too softball. It goes for easy laughs when it should be going for blood." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
9/10
     (2006)      "A true sports lover's delight." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
7/10
     (2001)      "A light, fun movie in the vein of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
6/10
     (2001)      "It could have been something special; instead it is run-of-the-mill." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
7/10
     (2001)      "A colorful, high-energy rock show ... But it also has a poignant side." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
9/10
     (2004)      "[Hellboy's] actions are believable, his issues are sympathetic, and his humor is genuinely funny." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
7/10
     (2008)      "Hellboy II is downright goofy. When it's not being funny, the creatures steal the show." [movie review]      ReelTalk Movie Reviews   
  
6/10
     (2005)      "If you're not asking much from it, Fully Loaded can be a decently fun movie; it's otherwise a harmless and unremarkable kids' flick." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
8/10
     (2004)      "Hero is a beautifully crafted movie, but unfortunately it's also carelessly revisionist." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
5/10
     (2002)      "Unambitious writing emerges in the movie, using a plot that could have come from an animated-movie screenwriting textbook." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
3/10
     (2005)      "[An] easily forgotten entry in the oh!-bet-you- didn't-see-that- coming sweepstakes." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
9/10
     (2005)      "Achieves its mission as pulp storytelling first and as disturbing thought provocation the morning after." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
8/10
     (2005)      "Works as a capsule -- a snapshot -- of what American metropolitan dating has become: a game of social defense." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
5/10
     (2005)      "With its heart in the right place but its mind functioning in the the wrong galactic sector, this movie feels only halfway there." [movie review]      ReelTalk Movie Reviews   
  
5/10
     (2007)      "Despite good energy and a source with ample potential, the film is held back by trite ideas." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
6/10
     (2006)      "One half of the movie was easily more fascinating and entertaining than the other." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
4/10
     (2006)      "A noble effort that nonetheless results in the kind of movie words like 'wallow' were made for; sitting through it is a drag." [movie review]      ReelTalk Movie Reviews   
  
4/10
     (2004)      "The problem with this movie is that it needed to be funny." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
7/10
     (2007)      "A spirited endeavor at enhancing the signal sent from Godzilla so long ago, for even then, under the atomic bomb fallout, governments were not to be trusted." [movie review]      ReelTalk Movie Reviews   
  
10/10
     (2007)      "As far as comedies go, I think [Wright's] movies are the best things out there." [movie review]      ReelTalk Movie Reviews   
  
8/10
     (2004)      "Mostly hoping to get by on its subject matter, which works out well for it because that subject matter is indeed compelling." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
7/10
     (2002)      "Brings awareness to an issue often overlooked -- women's depression." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
9/10
     (2004)      "Zhang [Yimou] has come out to play. Hero had action, you say? Not compared to this." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
8/10
     (2003)      "Not easy to sit through, but it has something worthwhile to communicate and strong actors who go all out to communicate it." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
1/10
     (2003)      "There is an extended sequence in which every individual character goes bullet-time, and [Uwe] Boll must think it's so cool just because they're in bullet-time." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
9/10
     (2005)      "What I love so far about Miyazaki is how he never fails to take advantage of the fact that his entertainment medium of choice is animation." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
9/10
     (2003)      "[James Schamus and Ang Lee] make beautiful movies, and this new one about a green monster that destroys things is, ironically, as beautiful as they come." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
9/10
     (2002)      "[Kaufman and Gondry] dive right into the subject [of sex] to lay bare the pain of it, and to have us laugh at it." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
5/10
     (2003)      "Fails to offer insight into [Hopkins and Kidman's] relationship, opting for the less interesting mechanics of the erotic thriller genre." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
3/10
     (2002)      "This is just lazy writing. Even kids deserve better." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
7/10
     (2005)      "A great turn by Terrence Howard [and] real sympathy spun like gold from Taraji P. Henson." [movie review]      Window to the Movies
