  1. Liz and the Blue Bird
    The story was painfully dull to me, and the entire thing (aside from the aforementioned storybook sequences) takes place in a dull looking school setting with hardly any change of scenery to break up the dreadful monotony. As far as the story goes, it’s a painfully basic story about two friends growing apart from one another. The drama here is as low-stakes as it gets.

    Bug
    It's a tough one to recommend to everyone. Just know now this isn't a horror film as they're making it out to be nor is it a true return to form for Friedkin. Even so, it's worth seeing but perhaps as a DVD rental further down the road.
  3. Jandek on Corwood
    The mystery behind Jandek is still intact at the end of the eighty-eight minute-long film, but it’s diminished substantially because you feel like you know too much.
  4. 15 Years
    What is most frustrating about 15 Years is just how much it gets right while so narrowly missing the mark.
  5. Frida
    Frida favors us with plenty of color, a feast of eye candy. As food for the soul, however...there are always her paintings.
  6. Sorority Boys
    If you're hard up for raunchy college humor, this is your ticket right here.
  7. Barber
    Barber may not be a mind-bending mystery, but Aiden Gillen’s performance and the cinematography elevate it to something worth seeing.
  8. I Trapped the Devil
    Silly and scary, atmospheric and disjointed, I Trapped the Devil showcases Lobo’s affection for the genre. He wisely avoids falling into the “gore” trap, instead relying on characterization and our fear of the unknown to raise the hair on the back of your neck.
  9. The Bookshop
    The adaptation of Penelope Fitzgerald’s 1978 novel The Bookshop by Spanish director Isabel Coixet (My Life Without Me, Elegy, Learning To Drive) is not devoid of plot disturbances but provides fair moments of gorgeous filmmaking and acceptable entertainment.

    Ordinary Sinner
    Brimming with sincere intentions and a few interesting thoughts. It brings a rare sort of realism to the movie world.
  11. Sollers Point
    After a slowly developed first section, the low-key indie drama gets some grittiness coming from the hostile relationships, leading us to an offbeat finale that, understandably, may be classified as pointless or unsatisfying by many viewers.
  12. In the Bedroom
    A courageous film, especially from a first-time director, and deserves all the audience support it can attract. It’s a People Story, and it’s About Something. However, it’s also something of a heavy sit.

    Vacancy
    It's rare to see Luke Wilson in such a serious role. He does an admirable job of ignoring his mostly comedic background but the real scene-stealer is Frank Whaley.
  14. Pineapple Express
    Let's be honest; a great deal of the sh-- you find funny when you're high really isn't (as anyone who's smoked a few bowls and laughed like a hyena to "Assy McGee" can attest). So hopefully nobody will be too disappointed when I tell them that "Express" is largely hit and miss.
  15. Abe
    This film felt more like an “afterschool special.” What I mean by that is that this movie felt very “safe."
  16. Troy
    Isn’t a bad film, simply an unspectacular one, which might be a more damaging statement.

    Spread
    Kutcher gives a surprisingly proficient performance as does Heche who is the shining star of the film.
  18. Kingdom of Heaven
    A handful of nifty battle scenes and some decent performances aren't quite enough to make Kingdom memorable.
  19. Accepted
    How much you join in will depend on how big a fan you are of the collegiate comedy formula, how many times you've seen "Animal House" and "Caddyshack," and how much you hate Long in those smarmy Mac commercials.
  20. The Orphanage
    It's worth a look, even taking into consideration the lack of zombies.

    Touch of Pink
    Rashid's love of cinema is obvious in every frame. He interweaves nostalgia with modern subject matter. Pace and comic timing are perfect.

    Just Friends
    Despite the fact that we are watching Reynolds do the same schtick yet again, director Roger Kumble never lets him outlast a joke or take a gimmick too far. The plot is nothing short of formulaic but what comedy of this nature isn’t these days?

    Friday After Next
    If you can’t laugh at stuff like this, there are still a few days left in the theatrical run of “Santa Clause 2”. I hear the reindeer are horny as hell.
  24. Dark Blue
    It’s shocking how much Dark Blue hates cops.
  25. Shoot 'Em Up
    Intermittently amusing.
  26. Vanguard
    There are worse ways to pass 90 minutes for those willing to disregard the film’s numerous, glaring flaws. Call it a Chinese Mission Impossible, minus Ethan Hunt’s budget and brains.
  27. F9: The Fast Saga
    Fast 9: The Fast Saga is a stupid, stupid movie. It lacks the fun and humor of some of the better entries, and it also lacks in the character development department.
  28. The Lost World: Jurassic Park
    It's technologically more advanced, far more thrilling and there's infinitely more dinos per minute.
  29. Face
    Hard-headed to the end, the three women in Face prove that if nothing else, stubborness and inflexibilty run in the family.
  30. Daredevil
    A faithful translation of the character and one of his more memorable tales on the page; it satisfies as an adventure and as a more intimate story.
