    Jumper
    The major weakness in Jumper is the piling on of action and narrative in the last ten to twelve minutes. It's as though the editor was rushing to meet a deadline and did the best he could with too much footage.

    Bangkok Dangerous
    I didn't hate this film. I didn't find it to be a waste of time or brain waves. Given the reasons I saw the film, I suppose I'm 50% disappointed.

    Unconscious
    A brilliant exploration into the implications of Freud’s theories on one family.

    Evening
    Evening”has so much going for it. A great cast, amazing visuals, and solid directing throughout. So why did I leave the film saying aloud to the parking lot, "I didn't like it."

    Lymelife
    Funny and well-acted, but it’s just shy of being compelling enough to be remembered.

    AVPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem
    The camerawork is a smidge too shaky and the lighting/color design too dark for me to relish the Predator-on-Alien butt-kicking.

    Saint Ralph
    McGowan’s film isn’t just about following this boy’s private quest to accomplish the impossible. It is also about how he affects the other characters in the film.

    Basic Instinct 2
    Fails as a sequel because we’re not in the 90s anymore. Gone are the days when characters could answer questions with questions and hypothetical situations and still sound clever and cool.

    The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
    For Carmen, Tibby, Lena, and Bridget, their sisterhood shines even brighter the second time around.

    Saw III
    As much as you'd like the characters to become better people and beat Jigsaw's game, there is also a strong desire simply to watch violent spectacle. And somehow, there just isn't enough of the latter.

    Underclassman
    If you have nothing more stimulating to do on a Friday night, Underclassman could provide the entertainment--not enlightenment--you seek.

    Domino
    When a film is more conducive to a scholarly dissection than a consumerist examination, the film is incredibly clever, pragmatic, or pretentious. In the case of Domino, it's all of the above.

    A Christmas Tale
    Two-and-a-half hours of family bickering, bantering, and pummeling can be draining for the viewer, particularly when many of the characters are easy to dislike.

    ATL
    House definitely put a smile on an insider's face, but outsiders can enjoy the ATL too. The only prerequisite here is the ability to laugh.

    The Collector
    The Collector’s destructive behavior enters the realm of the ridiculous before it ever touches the land of evil-badassness.

    Saw VI
    Conveys a much louder political message and the implementation of violence reflects as much.

    The Last King of Scotland
    In addition to a very engaging script, Forrest Whitaker and James McAvoy amazingly express the tension and the camaraderie shared by Amin and Garrigan.

    Nothing Like the Holidays
    Provides mostly entertaining spectacle.
    • 25 Metascore

    The Comebacks
    It’s mostly eighty-four minutes of puns, double entendres, and Freudian slips.

    Righteous Kill
    I'd like to recognize Russell Gewirtz for a screenplay that boasts humor, an impressive plot twist, and for setting up plenty of room for De Niro and Pacino to get their grooves back in order.

    Pulse
    A horror film that scares you to insomnia is good in the sense that it succeeds in what it sets out to do.
    • 55 Metascore

    Becoming Jane
    Hathaway's exuberance and dramatic range are fitting for this portrayal of the celebrated literary figure.

    Tau man ji D
    As a matter of fact, Initial D is an anti-car racing film. It's not about thrills; it's about how to perfect the art of drifting, philosophy, and how to transcend the human condition.
    • 23 Metascore

    Walking on the Sky
    The cast is genuine in their emotions, the film depicts them that way, and the camera doesn’t feel compelled to go hand-held crazy--which is refreshing.
    • 47 Metascore

    In the Land of Women
    Isn't a bad film per se--it’s just an empty film.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 60 Stina Chyn
    The Happening
    Whether you’re a casual or an ardent follower of M. Night Shyamalan's films, The Happening could alienate or dominate your thinking cap. Remember--it's perfectly acceptable to laugh one second and shriek the next.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 80 Stina Chyn
    The Express
    Even if you already knew the facts, you won’' be able to help but reflect in awe at how much progress in the fight against discrimination has been made on a societal level.
    • 24 Metascore
    • 70 Stina Chyn
    Bride Wars
    A chick flick in the purest sense--it's not about men or falling in love--and is quite funny.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 60 Stina Chyn
    The Ex
    Peretz's film continuously subverts the audience's expectations of what should likely happen given genre conventions.
    • 18 Metascore

    Ultraviolet
    Although it looks cool, appearances aren’t everything.
