[movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      Czech Dream (2007)      "However funny and trenchant it is in its critique of the forces that create and encourage rampant consumerism, the final joke is aimed squarely at the end user." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       5/10      I'm Reed Fish (2007)      "...demonstrates a lot of talent, but it's another case of a neophyte filmmaker not recognizing where his true strengths lie" [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      Brothers of the Head (2006)      "...despite outlandish subject matter that might lend itself to something more lurid or camp, it treats its characters and their story with refreshing restraint and seriousness." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       5/10      Cavite (2006)      "...there's...a certain unseemliness to the endeavor that is difficult to dismiss." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       8/10      Dead Man's Shoes (2006)      "...it's hard to imagine the film without Considine's amazing work." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       5/10      In Your Hands (2006)      "There seems little point to the Dogme trappings...if the work is going to veer into such hyperbolic, melodramatic territory in its plot." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       9/10      Kekexeli: Mountain Patrol (2006)      "[It's] austere, unsentimental, morally complex, and grimly realistic..." [movie review]      Twitch       7/10      Le Petit Lieutenant (2006)      "...an exemplary genre piece, melding a down-and-dirty 1970s vibe with a very modern perspective on the globalized nature of contemporary Paris." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      The Motel (2006)      "...specific and detailed enough to separate itself from the pack." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       10/10      Old Joy (2006)      "...the landscape it maps is as much spiritual as it is physical, and the personal story it tells is inescapably political..." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       5/10      Poster Boy (2006)      "Aside from topicality and good intentions, the film is reasonably engaging and well acted. But it's also more than a little bit overwrought." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       8/10      Somersault (2006)      "...it contains several startling, brilliant moments that bring its emotional and visual content together with tremendous clarity and power." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       5/10      When the Sea Rises (2006)      "It's lightweight and rather forgettable but laudable for its honest, respectful treatment of its characters." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      Wondrous Oblivion (2006)      "The film manages to generate genuine sweetness." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       5/10      3 Extremes (2005)      "Park is the one director represented here with both a great "extreme" tale and the means at his disposal to tell it to full effect." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      The Aristocrats (2005)      "...the brilliant Sarah Silverman transcends the mean-spirited nature of the joke..." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      Caterina in the Big City (2005)      "...a funny, affecting, and intricate comedy that continually surprises and gets better as it goes along." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      Cautiva (2005)      "A finely wrought coming-of-age drama that crackles with political tension..." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       2/10      Don't Move (2005)      "Someday filmmakers will recognize that blackened teeth and bad makeup make beautiful actresses neither ugly nor brave." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       4/10      Downfall (2005)      "...succeeds, for the most part, in painstakingly depicting who did what when, but beyond that, it is a missed opportunity." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      Duelist (2005)      "...its most salient feature is its spectacular visuals." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      The Holy Girl (2005)      "...at once humane, encompassing every shade of gray, and bracingly cold-eyed in its assessment of human endeavor." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      Inside Deep Throat (2005)      "...with its 1970s-style groovy graphics and tittering adolescent's view of sexuality, [it] has a willfully disreputable tone, but it provides surprising insight." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      The Intruder (2005)      "...a strange and beautiful work, but it doesn't quite cohere." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      Isolation (2005)      "Fans of good old-fashioned creature features should be very pleased..." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       8/10      Kamikaze Girls (2005)      "...a super-stylized, fast-paced romp. Sharp-wittedly reflexive, culturally specific, and unabashedly fun..." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       8/10      Keuk Jang Jeon (2005)      "...richly inventive and consistently fascinating filmmaking..." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       3/10      Kinetta (2005)      "...doesn't add up to much, aside from an enervating moviegoing experience." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       5/10      Marathon (2005)      "In ... small moments the film shows glimmers of Jeong's genuine talent as a filmmaker." [movie review]      Twitch       6/10      Masters of Horror - Stuart Gordon: Dreams in the Witch House (2005)      "...Gordon again demonstrates his unique talent for mixing quirky, uneasy laughs with genuine horror." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      My Brother Nikhil (2005)      "...when the entire production is clearly infused with such goodwill, it does add to its emotional impact." [movie review]      Twitch       6/10      My Mother's Smile (2005)      "My Mother's Smile overflows with mildly interesting ideas and characters, but the end result is decidedly tepid." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       4/10      The Other Side of the Street (2005)      "[These] could have been compelling characters, but The Other Side of the Street surrounds them with contrivance, and it quickly grows tedious." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       4/10      Palindromes (2005)      "Aviva...in all her permutations, may as well be a bug under the director's microscope." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      Paradise Now (2005)      "A tragedy regardless of its conclusion, Paradise Now is an important and powerful effort to explicate the inexplicable." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       7/10      Princess Raccoon (2005)      "For those prepared to engage the movie's playfulness, it's a unique treat." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       9/10      The Squid and the Whale (2005)      "...Baumbach's most emotionally potent and visually coherent film to date." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       9/10      Turtles Can Fly (2005)      "Turtles Can Fly is humane, funny, and visually acute, but it never shies away from the ugliness that mars these innocent lives." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      Vital (2005)      "Vital offers its share of disturbing images and gristly medical-lab sound effects, but in the end, its pursuit of closure is surprisingly hopeful." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       5/10      Welcome to Dongmakgol (2005)      "...offers some valuable insight into Korean culture." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       2/10      White Noise (2005)      "...quickly devolves into ludicrous plotting and cheap shock effects." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       4/10      Ab-Normal Beauty (2004)      "...the film...devolves...into...standard slasher movie fare." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       9/10      Blissfully Yours (2004)      "Weerasethakul films the lost couple with such aching tenderness that the effect is not titillating, but profoundly moving." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      Cavedweller (2004)      "Sharply focused performances...and the true grit of Allison's tale of pain and resilience keep the film from veering into Lifetime movie territory." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       6/10      Coffee and Cigarettes (2004)      "While the collection of vignettes offers a few great pleasures, in the context of Jim Jarmusch's oeuvre, it is slight." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       8/10      The Corporation (2004)      "...engaging in the best sense of the word." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       9/10      Crimson Gold (2004)      "The film's sociopolitical themes are all the more powerful for being subtly expressed through a starkly realistic tale." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       3/10      The Day After Tomorrow (2004)      "In 2004, watching downtown skyscrapers collapse...should cause more queasiness than the filmmakers intend, even if the buildings are located in Los Angeles." [movie review]      All Movie Guide       8/10      Distant (2004)      "The tale has a deceptive, emotional complexity that builds to a surprisingly heartrending impact." [movie review]      All Movie Guide
