Cop Out (2010) 18% 3/5 EDIT “While this mash-up doesn't produce results on par with the best of the genres it draws on, it still provides plenty of laughs.” – Filmcritic.com Feb 25, 2010 Full Review Ninja Assassin (2009) 26% 2/5 EDIT “Uncertain of what it wants to be, Ninja Assassin will likely disappoint action fans with excessive CGI gore, and gore fans with excessive uninspired action.” – Filmcritic.com Nov 24, 2009 Full Review Sleep Dealer (2008) 73% 4/5 EDIT “what you'll be left with after seeing Sleep Dealer is not a collection of cool scenes so much as a collection of compelling questions about where our world is headed” – Filmcritic.com Sep 28, 2009 Full Review American Son (2008) 100% 4/5 EDIT “ends up being one of the strongest entries in the growing list of films about Iraq even though, ultimately, it probably doesn't belong on that list at all.” – Filmcritic.com Sep 20, 2009 Full Review Push (2009) 23% 2/5 EDIT “Push falters not in trying to add its voice to the genre, it falters in not having anything compelling to say.” – Filmcritic.com Feb 5, 2009 Full Review Becket (1964) 75% 5/5 EDIT “it finds what's compelling about that history and, more importantly, what's compelling about the people in that history. And, just to be on the safe side, it throws in two of the greatest actors of the day.” – Filmcritic.com Dec 14, 2008 Full Review Eagle Eye (2008) 27% 3/5 EDIT “a likable paranoid fantasy that will handily kill a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon... before disappearing into the endless data stream it depicts with such apprehension.” – Filmcritic.com Sep 25, 2008 Full Review Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) 18% 1.5/5 EDIT “In watching The Clone Wars, one is filled with the overwhelming urge to grab George Lucas, thank him for his immeasurable contribution to the science fiction canon, and ask him politely to cut it out already” – Filmcritic.com Aug 14, 2008 Full Review A Necessary Death (2008) 83% 4/5 EDIT “a gripping tale that raises troubling questions about the nature of art and our voyeuristic society.” – Filmcritic.com May 17, 2008 Full Review Drillbit Taylor (2008) 26% 3.5/5 EDIT “What it sets out to do, and effectively so, is to wring some giggles out of the insecurities we all feel on that first day of school.” – Filmcritic.com Mar 20, 2008 Full Review 10,000 B.C. (2008) 10% 2/5 EDIT “about as slow and lumbering as a wounded manuk.” – Filmcritic.com Mar 6, 2008 Full Review Illegal Tender (2007) 15% 1.5/5 EDIT “bland and forgettable.” – Filmcritic.com Dec 29, 2007 Full Review I Am Legend (2007) 68% 3.5/5 EDIT “though a little too pat in its conclusion, the journey it takes to get there is no less entertaining.” – Filmcritic.com Dec 13, 2007 Full Review The Food of the Gods (1976) 18% 1/5 EDIT “without even a hint of irony, fun, thrills, imagination, or anything else approaching entertainment” – Filmcritic.com Sep 16, 2007 Full Review Death at a Funeral (2007) 63% 3.5/5 EDIT “feels like a British attempt to pull off American humor -- broad versus dry. And while it doesn't always work, it makes for an interesting take on a familiar dish.” – Filmcritic.com Jun 28, 2007 Full Review Maxed Out: Hard Times, Easy Credit and the Era of Predatory Lenders (2006) 88% 3.5/5 EDIT “shines a light on one of the most pervasive (and potentially disastrous) problems affecting our society today” – Filmcritic.com Jun 17, 2007 Full Review Next (2007) 28% 2/5 EDIT “If the protagonist of Next were to use his ability to peer two minutes into the future before watching Next, he'd probably have enough to go on to skip it altogether.” – Filmcritic.com Apr 26, 2007 Full Review Blades of Glory (2007) 70% 3.5/5 EDIT “It may seem like faint praise to deem Blades of Glory par for the course, but when the par is that funny, it's no mean feat.” – Filmcritic.com Mar 29, 2007 Full Review The Number 23 (2007) 7% 1/5 EDIT “moments meant to instill fear either evoke boredom or, more often, the giggles” – Filmcritic.com Feb 22, 2007 Full Review The Nativity Story (2006) 37% 3/5 EDIT “lacks a visual stamp... and a point of view” – Filmcritic.com Nov 30, 2006 Full Review The Departed (2006) 91% 4/5 EDIT “proof positive that neither Scorsese nor Nicholson have lost their touch.” – Filmcritic.com Oct 5, 2006 Full Review The Descent (2005) 87% 4/5 EDIT “The Descent is probably best seen at a midnight screening with a gaggle of like-minded horror junkies. The screams (and there will be screams) will be much louder then.” – Filmcritic.com Aug 6, 2006 Full Review Lady in the Water (2006) 25% 3.5/5 EDIT “not without its magical moments, but you really have to want them.” – Filmcritic.com Jul 22, 2006 Full Review The Lake House (2006) 35% 2.5/5 EDIT “If I were sending letters back in time to someone advising them on which films to skip, I'd probably forget to even mention this.” – Filmcritic.com Jun 15, 2006 Full Review Poseidon (2006) 33% 2.5/5 EDIT “Our guides on this route, while not as cheesy as their antecedents, certainly seem more soulless.” – Filmcritic.com May 11, 2006 Full Review
