2/5
     (2007)      "[Director] De Felitta's devotion to his subject is instrumental in getting to the bottom of many aspects of Paris� life, but it also blinds him to several things." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2/5
     (2004)      "There are the makings of a decent movie here ... Unfortunately, initial promise eventually gives way to the cliché ending, like we were all pretty sure it would." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3/5
     (2007)      "1408 isn't great cinema, but does an adequate job in spite of its flaws." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3.5/5
     (2006)      "Thanks to a compact story and some economical direction, it actually ends up better than it has any right to be." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2.5/5
     (2008)      "Ultimately, the last thing we normal looking folk would hear as the firestorm engulfed us would be the mad cackling of these neo-Aryans as they made our world theirs." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3.5/5
     (2007)      "The first half of 28 Weeks Later is highly enjoyable, assuming you find things like cowardice, official incompetence, and nihilistic visions of the future entertaining." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2007)      "Decent vampire movies are few and far between, and I'm having a hard time remembering a recent one that impressed me like 30 Days of Night." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2007)      "I feel comfortable enough in my masculinity to say that if I had to stand in the presence of these men for more than ten seconds, I'd spontaneously grow a pair of ovaries." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3/5
     (2008)      "The script has an easygoing, improvised feel to it, and hits the mark more often than not, and the cast is perfectly believable." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
1/5
     (2008)      "[...]as dumb a movie as you're likely to see this year, and may go down as Pacino's worst ever." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3/5
     (2006)      "Linklater's decision to assemble a supporting cast widely known for their own drug connections should reek of stunt casting, but doesn't." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3/5
     (2006)      "It's merely the latest entry (and a regrettably PG-13 rated one at that) in the "slobs vs. snobs" comedy subgenre that dates back to the far superior Animal House." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2007)      "We have a comedy black enough to make even the most jaded viewer cringe a little." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
.5/5
     (2005)      "Theron is fetching enough in her tight outfits, but utters each line like she just downed a handful of quaaludes." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2/5
     (2004)      "The Alamo isn't so much Hollywood cheese as it is a big bowl of weak queso that could've used a couple handfuls of jalapeños." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
1.5/5
     (2004)      "Maybe it's just me, but it seems like a movie celebrating the life of the greatest military conqueror the world has ever known should feature a bit more conquering." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
1.5/5
     (2004)      "Fans of both Alien and Predator will likely be howling for Paul W.S. Anderson's head, and I can't say that I blame them." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2.5/5
          "So much time is spent showing happy scenes of kids frolicking with their same-sex parents, we barely scratch the surface." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2.5/5
     (2006)      "Democrats and Republicans alike will likely come together in this case to agree that the film is too slowly paced and meandering to be galvanizing." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3/5
     (2007)      "I almost hate to say it, but [Timberlake] might be reason enough to watch this." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2.5/5
     (2005)      "... The Amityville Horror is the best horror movie of the year so far. Faint praise, to be sure, but at least it's R-rated." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2/5
     (2004)      "At best, it will come as a pleasant surprise to those going in with the lowest of preconceptions. At worst, it offers audiences a chance to get out of the August heat for 90 minutes." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2003)      "Susman has put together a well-crafted, witty commentary on corporate culture and the deals all of us make with ourselves to come to terms with modern existence." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3.5/5
     (2006)      "Say what you want about Mel Gibson, but that sadomasochistic anti-Semite knows how to shoot a movie." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2/5
     (2005)      "Somehow, 'Life ain’t nothin’ but diapers and minivans' just doesn’t pack the same punch." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3.5/5
     (2005)      "A nifty little action movie, and well worth a look." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3.5/5
     (2006)      "...here's the most important lesson %u2013 if you're going to a Mexican wedding, make plans to spend the night." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2.5/5
     (2008)      "Even when we learn the film's somewhat less than astounding twist about midway through, the movie's happy outcome is never really in doubt." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2005)      "[Batman Begins] feels less like comic fantasy and more like serious drama, albeit one depicting the exploits of a psychotic ninja billionaire." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2.5/5
     (2005)      "There weren’t any plot threads left dangling at the end of Get Shorty that justified a sequel." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3/5
     (2006)      "...you're going to enjoy it a lot more if you spent a healthy chunk of your late teens/early 20s playing Bullsh*t and doing keg stands" [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
1.5/5
     (2006)      "To say [Hartnett] lacks charisma or screen presence is like saying Hurricane Katrina caused a few problems." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2006)      "The film's effectiveness is bolstered by juxtaposed scenes of fat and happy Americans and Europeans slurping up frozen chai lattes and clucking about how big Starbuck's is getting with scenes of children going into 'therapeutic feeding centers'." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2006)      "Filmmakers Nick and Marc Curtis take us to Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, to introduce us to the plight of the farmers who grow the commodity that is traded in quantities second only to oil." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2.5/5
     (2007)      "Black Sheep takes so long to get going and misses so many easy opportunities for classic comedy it has to be regarded as a noble failure." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
1.5/5
     (2004)      "I can’t imagine any reason why this once moderately enjoyable franchise should continue." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2.5/5
     (2007)      "...it's funnier than Wild Hogs, which is about as ringing an endorsement as I'm capable of these days." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3/5
     (2006)      "Just once, I'd like someone to cast [Hounsou] as a venal yuppie or mincing fashion designer. Put him in touch with Stanley Tucci's agent." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2/5
     (2008)      "Yet in spite of the movie's high-tech veneer and its top-billed stars, Body of Lies is depressingly inert." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
1/5
     (2005)      "Spends the majority of its running time jerking the audience’s chain before coming to an abrupt ending." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
5/5
     (2006)      "Cohen has created an instant classic" [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2004)      "A worthy successor to The Bourne Identity." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2004)      "Supremacy is, minor quibbles aside, a worthy successor to The Bourne Identity." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3.5/5
     (2007)      "We know Bourne is more or less the baddest dude on the planet, and could probably take on Col. Guile, Sub-Zero, and Liquid Snake at the same time, but maybe enough is enough." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2.5/5
     (2007)      "Erica finds herself in mortal danger so often you'd think New York had reverted to pre-Giuliani anarchy." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3.5/5
     (2007)      "[I]f writer/director Billy Ray was looking for someone to show how the in-over-his-head O'Neill contrasted the wily Hanssen, Phillippe ends up being a perfect choice." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2/5
     (2006)      "Tensions predictably escalate and we're forced to spend the rest of the movie pretending like we care if these two annoying slices of Wonder Bread end up together." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
1.5/5
     (2004)      "The sequel has about as much emotional depth as a sitcom, only without even the latter's meager laughs." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
3.5/5
     (2005)      "What sets Bier’s film apart from similar fare are the consistently fine performances and powerful scenes of surprising ferocity." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2/5
     (2005)      "The Brothers Grimm is a mess; a formerly daring director’s attempt to cash in on big studio backing even after the rug has been pulled out from under him." [movie review]      Film Threat
