  1. Live Free or Die Hard
    Does it herald a renaissance in the action genre? Not really, but it's a welcome throwback to good old-fashioned, '80s-style lunkhead violence, and no one takes a punch, kick, elbow, or bullet quite like John McClane.
  2. In Between Days
    The camera lingers on the characters' minimal, but expressive actions, allowing the viewer to soak in their emotions rather than having them related to us through dialogue. In doing so, In Between Days is more of an experience than your average movie.
  3. 1408
    1408 isn’t great cinema, but does an adequate job in spite of its flaws.

    Evan Almighty
    An unnecessary sequel to the equally unnecessary "Bruce Almighty."
  5. A Mighty Heart
    The movie is engrossing and well-acted throughout (especially Khan), but ultimately leaves us less optimistic about the prospects for peace.
  6. Black Sheep
    Unfortunately, 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.

    Broken English
    What began as an interesting character study ends in convention, offering only the most clichéd platitudes in summation. You can't find true love until you love yourself? Hasn't Dr. Phil been telling us that for years?
  8. You Kill Me
    In other hands with another cast, You Kill Me might easily have proven just another modest production indulging in mob violence and postmodern irony. There certainly is no shortage of those. Dahl’s latest, however, is something more than a modest production. It’s a small wonder.
  9. Manufactured Landscapes
    Slow in places, but the feeling of foreboding you’ll take away from it is undeniable.

    DOA: Dead or Alive
    Sure, the dialogue is absolutely atrocious, the acting sucks, Eric Roberts is a co-star, the action is lame and the fighting is boring. But all of this makes for one hilarious viewing experience. DOA is the sort of film you’ll want to watch with a drunken crowd of your friends.
  11. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
    A better-quality sequel, but that wasn't really too difficult. The original was one of the worst movies of 2005, and while "Rise" won't win any awards, it's (mostly) less offensive than its predecessor. Faint praise, but I'll be damned if I go any further than that.
  12. Nancy Drew
    Overall, I found myself not hating the film. There's just one thing that troubles me about the way Nancy Drew is depicted. She is determined, a perfectionist, uber-organized, and efficient. Those qualities can be associated to geekdom, but they’re also symptoms of someone with a propensity for disordered eating or obsessive-compulsive disorder. Hmmm.
  13. When the Road Bends: Tales of a Gypsy Caravan
    The film is a bore.

    The Trials of Darryl Hunt
    An interesting and shocking film that tells a story many of us knew nothing about but are affected by it nonetheless.

    Ocean's Thirteen
    An over-the-top celebrity cartoon of cool and a tilt-a-whirl of fun.

    Hostel: Part II
    Eli Roth has potential, I just think he should leave Slovakia alone and focus on bigger and better things.

    You're Gonna Miss Me
    A great meld of rock history, the sociological and familial impacts of mental disability and some courtroom intrigue.

    Knocked Up
    Believe the hype, Knocked Up is one of the funniest films of 2007. It's too early in the year to crown it the supreme funniest title, but save for something so funny your head explodes in the theater, I think it'll take the title by year's end. Seth Rogen, we web slackers salute you!
  19. Mr. Brooks
    What this movie needed was a leaner narrative focusing on Earl and Marshall while keeping Moore’s character in the background. What we end up with is a goofy and occasionally enjoyable mix of horror, comedy, and action that can’t entirely shed its excess narrative flab.

    Crazy Love
    All told, Crazy Love is a rarity in documentaries; it's fun.

    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.
  22. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
    The action IS pretty engaging, Sao Feng and his gang of South Asian cutthroats are a nice addition, and the constant plot explication does require you to pay attention.
  23. Steel City
    The movie's strength is in the performances. And they're enough to make Steel City worth a look.
  24. Severance
    What's more refreshing about Severance is how the movie's humor offsets the violence, and even that is pretty restrained (at least by modern standards).

    Shrek the Third
    Somewhat of an improvement over the last one, though it still never veers off familiar terrain. Essentially, if you've only seen one "Shrek" film, you've seen them all.

    Fay Grim
    Fans of "Henry Fool" in particular, however, may dislike the complete disregard for the characters of the original film. But the most fervent of Hartley followers can praise the film as a brilliant deconstruction of the tacked-on cinematic sequel.
  27. Flanders
    Bruno Dumont’s Flanders is something you don't see everyday: a decidedly non-sentimental love story.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Once
    A film of limited production values, a low-quality picture and the occasional flubbed camera move. But it makes up for these flaws with sharp observations, compelling characters and a great collection of music.
  29. The Ex
    Peretz's film continuously subverts the audience's expectations of what should likely happen given genre conventions.
  30. 28 Weeks Later
    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.
