Everything's Gone Green (2006) 68% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film exists in that familiar Douglas Coupland never never land populated by twentysomethings facing cubicle farms and shoddy romances revealed under quasi-Ikea lamps.” – Premiere Magazine Apr 13, 2007 Full Review Fay Grim (2006) 47% 1.5/4 EDIT “What borders on a pleasingly intricate spy plot lead by the grimacing Parker Posey gets hopelessly tangled in the wrinkles in the story, and it all never quite pays off.” – Premiere Magazine Jan 26, 2007 Full Review Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten (2007) 89% 3/4 EDIT “Director Julien Temple examines Strummer's life and motivations with a flair for unearthing endlessly quotable bandmates, friends, and artists who have been inspired by him.” – Premiere Magazine Jan 26, 2007 Full Review Casino Royale (2006) 94% 3/4 EDIT “Crass product placement, implausible dialogue, plot points that drag on, Casino Royale has them all. The reason none of that really matters is Daniel Craig.” – Premiere Magazine Nov 17, 2006 Full Review Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006) 90% 3/4 EDIT “Any movie that lists someone with the job of 'feces provider' in the credits is either going to be a disaster or one of the funniest, most outrageous films of the year. Borat is clearly the later.” – Premiere Magazine Sep 15, 2006 Full Review Babel (2006) 68% 3/4 EDIT “What unfolds, courtesy of Innaritu and the excellent cast, is a commentary on how the 21st century is a constantly upset balance of cultures whose every move has repercussions upon each other.” – Premiere Magazine Sep 15, 2006 Full Review Snakes on a Plane (2006) 69% 3.5/4 EDIT “Just when you settle into laughing at the stock characters and one-liners, Snakes manages to scare the hell out of you. As the deranged crime boss says, "Woo!"” – Premiere Magazine Aug 18, 2006 Full Review The Da Vinci Code (2006) 25% 2/4 EDIT “It fells a little silly to watch movie stars like Tom Hanks make gee whiz, awestruck pronouncements about the bloodline of Jesus Christ out loud.” – Premiere Magazine May 19, 2006 Full Review Poseidon (2006) 33% 1.5/4 EDIT “Petersen's Poseidon is a ridiculous collection of disaster clichés, eye-rollingly obvious symbolism, and two-dimensional stereotypes.” – Premiere Magazine May 11, 2006 Full Review Somersault (2004) 84% 2/4 EDIT “Just about everything that happens to Heidi explores that awkward cusp between adolescence and adulthood, and the film maintains a mild, interesting suspense because of it.” – Premiere Magazine May 1, 2006 Full Review The Sentinel (2006) 34% 2.5/4 EDIT “Sometimes, as in the case of The Sentinel, a good old rat-in-the-government picture that hews to the conventions of the genre can be an enjoyable, not terribly taxing entertainment.” – Premiere Magazine May 1, 2006 Full Review Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) 56% 2.5/4 EDIT “The sequel is satisfying for the same reason as the first movie. The sweet animals are witty, and while the physical comedy is simple, the main characters ultimately aren't.” – Premiere Magazine Apr 13, 2006 Full Review Lonesome Jim (2005) 61% 3/4 EDIT “Buscemi's small story of failure, depression -- and ultimately, love -- in one Indiana town rings painfully true-to-life.” – Premiere Magazine Apr 11, 2006 Full Review She's the Man (2006) 44% 2/4 EDIT “Implausible as she is, her voice-changing, artificial guy-speak, and penchant for causing fights makes the whole film fun and watchable.” – Premiere Magazine Apr 4, 2006 Full Review The Shaggy Dog (2006) 25% 1.5/4 EDIT “The Shaggy Dog feels like little more than a stale rehash with a promising cast whose talents haven't been tapped.” – Premiere Magazine Mar 28, 2006 Full Review Ultraviolet (2006) 9% 1.5/4 EDIT “Amid every action cliche in the book, outmoded stereotypes, and a plot derivative of every futuristic drama made in the last fifteen years, Ultraviolet comes off as nothing more than a pale copy of better, more inventive films.” – Premiere Magazine Mar 25, 2006 Full Review Freedomland (2006) 22% 2/4 EDIT “If nothing else, Freedomland tries very hard to be a good film.” – Premiere Magazine Mar 14, 2006 Full Review Running Scared (2006) 41% 2.5/5 EDIT “Ultimately, it is a serviceable, well-made thriller that earns its R rating.” – Premiere Magazine Mar 14, 2006 Full Review Our Brand Is Crisis (2005) 93% 3/4 EDIT “This unlikely pairing of relentless U.S. pollsters and a Bolivian election is a fascinating glimpse of the Americanized marketing of international politics (and vice versa).” – Premiere Magazine Mar 14, 2006 Full Review Big Momma's House 2 (2006) 5% 1.5/4 EDIT “Just like the first film, it's another basic, unoriginal fish-out-of-water story stocked with predictable plot twists and physical comedy.” – Premiere Magazine Feb 21, 2006 Full Review The Polar Express (2004) 55% 2.5/4 EDIT “Everything is so nearly real, down to the characters' hair fluttering in the icy wind, that it's uneasily surreal, the way that clowns scare tots more than they amuse them.” – Premiere Magazine Nov 16, 2004 Full Review Chaos (2001) 84% 3.5/4 EDIT “Affecting, brilliantly acted French-language drama.” – Premiere Magazine Mar 17, 2003 Full Review National Security (2003) 11% .5/4 EDIT “Dugan's predictable, thin-plotted lark reads as little more than a black guy-white guy Three's Company.” – Premiere Magazine Mar 4, 2003 Full Review The Hot Chick (2002) 21% 2.5/4 EDIT “Basically harmless and grudgingly funny.” – Premiere Magazine Mar 4, 2003 Full Review
