88 85% A History of Violence (2005) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"As normal as Cronenberg has ever gotten, but sublime. Aside from a slightly dull climax and a child actor who needed to be replaced the film works fantastically well."
70 39% The Interpreter (2005) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"Tightly written, well acted, but ultimately fails to make its global politics subject matter as interesting as the trailer would make one think."
80 68% The Breakfast Club (1985) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"The quintessential teen angst film. May seem tame to younger viewers, but in its time, it was sharp, relevant and cut through a lot of crap most kids were experiencing."
65 27% The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"For true Adams fiends, only the BBC version will have to do, as this average adaptation falls well short of the charm and wit of the novels. Visually, it looks great, but it's too bad they couldn't have done more with the script."
75 50% The Constant Gardener (2005) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"Great cinematography, editing and direction, but the meandering script and the bland leads just don't inspire any emotion or thoughtfulness."
80 68% Mean Girls (2004) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"So sad to see what Lohan has become now, as this film seemed like a great start for her. Brilliant script, and a lot of fun, despite some flaws."
80 68% Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"The film that put Sean Penn and Cameron Crowe on the map. A bit of a victim of its time, it nonetheless is a classic, lending itself permanently to the lexicon of high school films."
58 17% The Last Samurai (2003) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"What a pity such brilliant technical work was so wasted on this bloated, offensive script."
60 21% The Aviator (2004) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"If there were a way to edit out DiCaprio and put someone older and more capable of carrying a film in his place, this might be a good film. As it is, only the technicals and the always divine Cate Blanchett save this from utter ruin. It's overlong, muddy and miscast."
60 21% Robots (2005) - Rated 14 Aug 2007
"Kind of cute, but ultimately unmemorable. Imaginative premise is wasted on a boring story."
