Walk the Line (2005) 83% A EDIT “...a beautiful and deeply moving love story; rebellion, music, Christianity, pathos to self-destruction -- all artistic license aimed at helping to paint a portrait.” – Trades Jan 10, 2006 Full Review Mad Hot Ballroom (2005) 84% EDIT “The film offers an uplifting look at urban life, but fails to provide much substance beyond that.” – Trades Aug 2, 2005 Full Review The Aviator (2004) 86% A EDIT “As playboy entrepreneur Howard Hughes, Leonardo DiCaprio gives the performance of his life.” – Trades Feb 24, 2005 Full Review Sideways (2004) 97% EDIT “After looking up, down, front, and back, I still couldn't find the point to "Sideways." Simply put, it's one of the year's worst films.” – Trades Dec 31, 2004 Full Review The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004) 57% EDIT “Once again Wes Anderson proves relentless in his quest for the quirkiest movie...But does Bill Murray have the prerequisite mojo to carry it off?” – Trades Dec 27, 2004 Full Review Closer (2004) 67% EDIT “Why do we become pathetic creatures when we fall in love? Mike Nichols probes this eternal question in his latest film and in doing so, opens up a whole new can of worms.” – Trades Dec 8, 2004 Full Review Kinsey (2004) 90% A EDIT “Liam Neeson and Laura Linney play a couple who fight to revolutionize attitudes toward human sexuality in the US in the latest Bill Condon creation.” – Trades Nov 21, 2004 Full Review The Motorcycle Diaries (2004) 83% A EDIT “Finally a film about Revolutionary Che Guevara that gets it right.” – Trades Oct 24, 2004 Full Review Coffee and Cigarettes (2003) 63% C- EDIT “In a film as lackluster as lukewarm coffee (sans cigarettes), Bill Murray and Alfred Molina still manage to secure some laughs.” – Trades May 21, 2004 Full Review Raising Helen (2004) 25% EDIT “Between some Hell "Raising" and contemplating the profundity of Devo's "Whip It," comes a mediocre movie with a magical cast and marginal plot.” – Trades May 7, 2004 Full Review Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) 93% EDIT “The most romantic love story to hit the big screen in years stars Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet in a quirky film about love, loss, and new beginnings.” – Trades Mar 30, 2004 Full Review The Dreamers (2003) 59% EDIT “Bertolucci's new film makes us wish he'd conceived a more interesting plot-preferably one that engaged its viewers and didn't put us all to sleep.” – Trades Feb 24, 2004 Full Review Mona Lisa Smile (2003) 33% EDIT “In a film directed by the man who had us all falling for “Harry Potter,” "Mona Lisa Smile" has us pondering why love is never as sweet the second time around.” – Trades Dec 29, 2003 Full Review Pete's Dragon (1977) 56% 5/5 EDIT “” – Trades Dec 18, 2003 Full Review Something's Gotta Give (2003) 72% EDIT “'A little ditty about Jack & Diane' goes a long way in "Something's Gotta give." Unfortunately, the convoluted path meanders and leaves us emotionally constipated.” – Trades Dec 18, 2003 Full Review The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) 37% B+ EDIT “"TXCM" haunts and titillates. And gets as much mileage out of Jessica Biel's white tank top as is visually possible.” – Trades Oct 20, 2003 Full Review Lost in Translation (2003) 95% EDIT “In "Lost in Translation," Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson prove a formidable duo evocative of Hollywood's yesteryear with a variation on a theme of Tokyo.” – Trades Sep 22, 2003 Full Review Collusion (2003) A EDIT “"Collusion" drives director Richard Burridge's sexy and suspenseful foray into the illusive, high-brow world of the London art scene.” – Trades Sep 17, 2003 Full Review
