80 39% City of God (2002) - Rated 20 Sep 2008
"Extraordinarily powerful film about the heartbreaking, violent living conditions of Rio De Janeiro. The sheer level of violence is difficult to stomach, especially since it is presented, at times, in more of a documentary style."
90 78% WALL·E (2008) - Rated 20 Sep 2008
"Succeeds on every level possible: outstanding visuals, compelling characters, perfect scoring...even the dialog, which is composed mostly of computerized blips and beeps, is excellent. A grand heartwarming tale in the vein of Pixar's near-flawless storytelling tradition."
80 39% Wanted (2008) - Rated 02 Sep 2008
"Unbelievable. Unrelenting. Gratuitous. Visceral. Choose your adjective--Wanted is an action powerhouse from start to finish, albeit at a price: blood flows often and freely here, and the sheer level of violence is sometimes tough to stomach for today's PG-13-reared audiences. Plot is almost an afterthought here, almost as if the filmmakers needed a vehicle by which to showcase the incredible visuals."
65 15% Almost Famous (2000) - Rated 25 Aug 2008
"Typical overlong, overwrought Cameron Crowe storytelling. The director is bound and determined to force his love of pop music culture on to his viewers, and this thin tale does little to bring anything new to the table."
70 23% Super Mario Bros. (1993) - Rated 25 Aug 2008
"This isn't Star Wars. It's not The Dark Knight. It's not even Mortal Kombat: The Movie. But it's not supposed to be! SMB is a fun film that's just supposed to be enjoyable, and despite the supreme cheesiness of the plot, acting, setpieces, and even product placement (A Bob-omb with Reebok shoes?), it's all just lighthearted good fun. Not A-grade material, but pretty enjoyable overall, with enough Mario Bros. in-jokes and references to keep fans of the video games mostly entertained."
80 39% National Treasure (2004) - Rated 25 Aug 2008
"While piecing together bits from early American history, this film is an enjoyable action flick that does not take itself too seriously, and never forgets that it is a lighthearted, just-for-fun action/adventure movie."
50 7% Love Actually (2003) - Rated 25 Aug 2008
"Should be called "Lust Actually." This movie follows the paper-thin "romances" of four couples whose lives are ever-so-slightly intertwined. This film showcases everything wrong with Hollywood's vision of love and romance, and substitutes a quick romp for anything resembling true commitment and, ultimately, love. Funny in parts, but not enough to counteract the awful plot."
90 78% The Transformers: The Movie (1986) - Rated 25 Aug 2008
"Astonishingly epic film about the Autobots and their struggles against not only the Deceptecons, but also Unicron, a planet-sized transformer that demolishes entire worlds. Superbly animated, especially considering the lack of any true CGI or other computer-assisted animation. One of the best movie soundtracks ever assembled, too."
90 78% Ratatouille (2007) - Rated 25 Aug 2008
"Ratatouilly is thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable--the opposite of a Shrek or Bee Movie, whose laughs come in the form of cheap parodies and one-liners. Brad Bird's imagination comes to life in the small French kitchen inhabited by the film's hero, a rat named Remy who just wants to be a gourmet chef. And from a premise that simple comes a wonderful tale about doing what you just love to do, and all the rewards (and trials) that can happen as a result."
65 15% Suicide Club (2002) - Rated 25 Aug 2008
"A film that revels in gratuity, this movie is a twisted story about subliminal messages and the power of peer pressure. It's hard to overlook the sheer amount of blood and depravity, which at times comes so freely it's as though you are watching a cartoon. This movie strives for lofty heights, but ultimately fails to be much more than a "shocker" film."
