8/10
     (2006)      "An exploration of the existence of morality -- where does it come from, especially in a world as cold as what's presented here?" [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
10/10
     (1997)      "It demands that the viewer pay attention, not assuming for one second that its audience may consist of dummies. That audience is rewarded with an environment oozing with atmosphere." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
7/10
     (2007)      "Dahan's film is less an ode or a valentine, more of a spectacle of pity, mainly worth watching for Cotillard." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
5/10
     (2004)      "Ladder 49 is just about the most ironed-flat fireman tribute a group of people could make." [movie review]      ReelTalk Movie Reviews   
  
5/10
     (2001)      "Made without much of the original Lady and the Tramp's spirit in mind." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
3/10
     (2006)      "Shyamalan might've been onto something if Lady in the Water were, say, a satire of Scientology; instead, it's a mission for a bedtime story, a badly told fairy tale." [movie review]      ReelTalk Movie Reviews   
  
7/10
     (2005)      "The theme of how all-around bad revenge is starts to wear a little thin... But there's always a perverse delight in just watching how a Park movie is executed." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
8/10
     (2004)      "The Coen Bros. [are] in fine form stylistically ... There's something about the way their work is so polished that it forces one to smile." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
8/10
     (2001)      "The film's got a big scope and a big heart, even taking time to decry class, social, and racial discrimination." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
5/10
     (2008)      "It's ironic when the tactics it uses to ratchet up the suspense actually reduces the very real tension that gets communicated in its first half." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
5/10
     (2003)      "Only reinforces what [Lara Croft's] first movie showed us -- that she's not readily approachable to other characters nor to the audience." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
3/10
     (2001)      "The ingredients are in place for a movie that could be a blast. Execution ... is where the film falls flat." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
7/10
     (2007)      "A plea for compassion and understanding; its lack of the negative side of human nature almost makes it seem desperate in that regard, but overall it's deft at achieving its goal." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
7/10
     (2006)      "An ode to the beleaguered people who face hardships, physical and emotional, with hopeful optimism." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
6/10
     (2006)      "[Latifah] makes you easily sympathize with her character, even as you're aware of the plot's utter contrivance." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
8/10
     (2006)      "Few films this year have been as suspenseful as The Last King of Scotland, which is due in large part to the tour de force performance of Forest Whitaker." [movie review]      ReelTalk Movie Reviews   
  
6/10
     (2006)      "Watching The Last Kiss feels like watching a couple going through the motions." [movie review]      ReelTalk Movie Reviews   
  
7/10
     (2003)      "It's like Samurai 101: here are the samurai; here is their way of life; here is what makes them so appealing to Westerners; and here it all is in one classic textbook epic." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
3/10
     (2003)      "So good at being bad that it's almost admirable." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
6/10
     (2008)      "Mostly simply tries for fun, and for a good part of it, it delivers. But with it's jumble of elements, it doesn't allow a central one to take hold and truly fly." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
7/10
     (2001)      "Soak in Witherspoon's pleasing performance and the good-natured comedy and have a good time." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
8/10
     (2003)      "Runs the risk of lifelessly rehashing the first movie and going through the motions, but the result is actually a film that is snappier and more cheerful." [movie review]      ReelTalk Movie Reviews   
  
6/10
     (2005)      "It tries just hard enough to get by when it should be working more ambitiously to earn that mark of the Z." [movie review]      ReelTalk Movie Reviews   
  
8/10
     (2004)      "Although Carrey threatens to chew the scenery whenever he can, the kids hold their own as the stars of the show." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
8/10
     (2008)      "Like a horror romance Kieslowski might have made, as it explores both a tender, tentative relationship -- a connection in an otherwise dark world -- and relative morality." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
9/10
     (2006)      "A complex act of empathy, a sincere attempt to understand the human beings, flawed and all, behind the flag of Japan." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
7/10
     (2004)      "Previously, Anderson's films contained so many ideas they threatened to burst at the seams; with The Life Aquatic, it appears that's happened." [movie review]      ReelTalk Movie Reviews   
  
9/10
     (2002)      "For Lilo & Stitch, which appears at first to be another routine exploration of finding acceptance, the difference is in the details." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
5/10
     (2007)      "Only one step away from Redford turning towards the camera, pointing his finger, and asking, 'what will you do?'" [movie review]      ReelTalk Movie Reviews   
  
7/10
     (2006)      "There's something about the frustrations of middle class citizens trapped in suburbia that seems both profound and profoundly trivial, and that's reflected in the tone." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
8/10
     (2006)      "Little Miss Sunshine is saved by an ace -- its cast." [movie review]      ReelTalk Movie Reviews   
  
8/10
     (2006)      "Actually one of the most optimistic stories I've watched in a long while." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
6/10
     (2003)      "Cheesy. Still, it could be worse. Fans of the TV show are charmed by Lizzie, and the movie is definitely all hers." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
7/10
     (2007)      "A satisfying movie, even if it doesn't all quite come together -- the heist-related portions feel almost perfunctory in a movie about a character who's anything but." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
6/10
     (2003)      "It doesn't seem to exist for any other reason than to reference, in particular, Looney Tunes and Hollywood." [movie review]      ReelTalk Movie Reviews   
  
10/10
     (2001)      "By the time its three hours were over, I found myself out of breath." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
10/10
     (2003)      "Conclude[s] a trilogy of movies upon which unprecendented expectations have been placed, and [does] it smoothly, gracefully, and powerfully." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
10/10
     (2002)      "For those who value a steady build to utter intensity, The Two Towers is a grand achievement." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
5/10
     (2005)      "So literal is the antiestablishment vibe that whenever there's a moment primed to make kids wanna punch out an old square, they get to see it acted out." [movie review]      ReelTalk Movie Reviews   
  
7/10
     (2003)      "What does work extremely well ... is the documentary's portrayal of Terry Gilliam as a man almost childlike in his love for making a movie." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
8/10
     (2003)      "Coppola's mood-setting is pitch-perfect ... to be lost and alone in a strange place, full of strangers, feeling kind of sad and wistful." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
7/10
     (2004)      "A parody of the kind of movies we were already giggling at, which leaves no actual room for parody ... works best when we just go along with [it]." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
8/10
     (2003)      "Mostly just wants the audience to feel good and revel in the warmth of a fresh attraction." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
4/10
     (2002)      "Will probably be one of those movies barely registering a blip on the radar screen of 2002." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
6/10
     (2004)      "It's tough to sell a drama, though, if it doesn't find some natural way to rise above the ordinary, and that's this movie's biggest challenge." [movie review]      Window to the Movies   
  
7/10
     (2007)      "I'm quite certain Lee got the mood he wanted for the movie ... but I'm not certain Wong/Mrs. Mak is someone we can easily feel fascination or an affinity for." [movie review]      Window to the Movies
