  1. Serves up heaping helpings of everything fans loved about the first.
  2. Overall I would say that Travis Scott: Look Mom I Can Fly is an incredibly wholesome, feel-good film that shows us that hard work and determination really can bring you grand success in some cases.
  3. A diverting and delightful visit with two unheralded indie cinema veterans with a surplus amount of anecdotes and zany film clips.
  4. Non-Fiction is incredibly witty, fast-paced, and unmistakably French.
  5. Elf
    If you’re not a fan of Will Ferrell, you ain't gonna like this film. But if you think he's funny and you don't mind a sappy ending, this is a decent holiday flick.

    The true star and the reason to watch Pig Hag is Anna Schlegel as Jodie. She puts it all out there—her anger, vulnerabilities, and sexuality are on full display.
  6. For the more casual viewer who is craving a traditional tear-jerker, this drama more than fits the bill.
  7. A worthwhile way to spend some of your precious leisure time, especially in this season of obnoxious cartoons and ham-handed holiday fare.
  8. Do has created a tense, heartbreaking ode to a tragic time; a deeply personal story, superbly visualized.
  9. It's a harsh lesson, but this movie is more than able to grab and hold your attention for it. I just wouldn't bring a date.
  10. Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, who was essentially handpicked by now-executive producer Danny Boyle, gives us a more depressing look at humanity while retaining several of his predecessor’s moves. This isn’t always a good thing, since Fresnadillo can’t seem to get his fill of low-light hyper-edited fight scenes or frenetic hand-held shots of people running, but when used right it adds to the sense of claustrophobia and impending doom.
  11. Chariot may not blow anyone away with its inventiveness, but it’s right at home in the family of darkly funny science fiction films that are enjoyable to watch late at night. Full of bizarre performances and a fair share of laughs, this is more than worth a look for those seeking an unorthodox treat.

    This is the work of professionals acknowledging a good story and knowing better than to get in the way.

    The Call of the Wild is actually a good story and ultimately works as a movie.
  12. While it's too smart to be shelved on the porn rack, "YPF" (a neutered acronym for Young People F**king, its original title) shoots Judd Apatow-styled raunch into previously uncharted stratospheres of frank sexual humor.
  13. Fascinating and heartbreaking film.
  14. Despite minor misgivings, it is a thoroughly engaging horror film with more on its mind than simply building to a climax. This is a poignant observation on aging and death that is supported by a trio of knockout performances and a female-heavy production.
  15. At last, the hopeless romantics and the gorehounds can feast at the same table.
  16. 24 Hours on Craigslist is the ultimate people zoo.
  17. Truly Madly Deeply is a truly, madly, deeply romantic film, and Stevenson and Rickman have a natural rapport. What distinguishes the film more than that is the uncommon intelligence with which Minghella approaches this fanciful situation.
  18. Shinkai’s animated feature may sometimes seem like it was dreamt up by a 15-year-old teenager. It may move at a leisurely, awkward pace that threatens to come to a dead halt at points. Yet when it takes flight, it soars.
  19. Look at Therapy Dogs as a cautionary tale, one bound to horrify unaware parents. Eng doesn’t seem to give a f**k whether you respond to it or not. Good for him.
  20. We’ve seen it all before: the obsessive cop with emotional baggage, the small-town folk being interrogated, the lovey-dovey subplot, the tonal dreariness. The filmmaker isn’t aiming to avoid tropes, and what the film does, it does splendidly, though an injection of humor would have certainly been welcome.
  21. It doesn't disappoint. It gets the job done thanks in large part to the breakout performance given by Galifianakis. It's no "Old School," but it will do nicely until that film's anticipated sequel rolls around in 2011.

    It’s not going to change your life, but it has a solid story, and it’s sexy as hell.
  22. There's just something maddeningly upbeat about this film's shameless hokiness. Combine that with the film's colorful art and wardrobe designs, spiffy choreography, the joy of seeing some veteran faces on screen for the first time in a while, and a soundtrack that'll make even the dead tap their toes, and Swing simply makes for some serious jump-jivin' fun.
  23. In Mrs. Henderson Presents, Bob Hoskins lets it all hang out.
  24. It’s charming in its own modest way (it ain’t Laika), but the simplistic character design is made up for with energy and creativity. Whether all the cadavers, complex inventions, existential musings, themes of progress and censorship, and politics will alienate the wee ones remains to be seen – but, again, at least it’s not pandering. The Inventor is charming and modest but also honest and true – a rarity these days. Hurry up and check it out before Gen Z cancels Leonardo for being a misogynist.

    Pallenberg’s creaky slasher film is one that you’ll either love or hate, and while many will opt for the latter, it’s good campy fun with some of the dumbest scenes you can grab from a slasher of this decade.
  25. T.I.M. is a satisfying look at the horrors of technology as it integrates with our everyday lives.
