| 25% Semi-Pro
Semi-Pro is an intermittently funny, half-hearted attempt at sports satire, and one of Will Ferrell's weaker cinematic efforts.
| |
93% Juno
One of the brightest, funniest comedies of the year, Juno's smart script and direction are matched by assured performances in a coming of age story with a 21st century twist.
| |
68% Ocean's Thirteen
Ocean's Thirteen reverts to the formula of the first installment, and the result is another slick and entertaining heist film.
| |
77% Live Free or Die Hard
Live Free or Die Hard may be preposterous, however it's an efficient, action-packed summer popcorn flick with thrilling stunts and a commanding performance by Bruce Willis.
| |
30% The Game Plan

| |
95% Ratatouille
Pixar succeeds again with Ratatouille, a stunningly animated film with fast pacing, memorable characters, and overall good humor.
| |
52% Australia
Built on lavish vistas and impeccable production, Australia is unfortunately burdened with thinly drawn characters and a lack of originality.

|

| 86% Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Full of pith and Grand Guignol grossness, this macabre musical is perfectly helmed and highly entertaining. Tim Burton masterfully stages the musical in a way that will make you think he has done this many times before.
| |
2% Epic Movie
A crude comedy with nothing new or insightful to say about the subjects it satirizes.
| |
82% Charlie Wilson's War
Charlie Wilson's War manages to entertain and inform audiences, thanks to its witty script and talented cast of power players.

| |
91% There Will Be Blood
Widely touted as a masterpiece, this sparse and sprawling epic about the underhanded "heroes" of capitalism boasts incredible performances by leads Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano, and is director Paul Thomas Anderson's best work to date.
| |
28% Lions for Lambs
Despite its powerhouse cast, Lions for Lambs feels like a disjointed series of lectures, rather than a sharp narrative, and ends up falling flat.
| |
10% Perfect Stranger
Perfect Stranger is too convoluted to work, and features a twist ending that’s irritating and superfluous.
| |
53% Across the Universe
Psychedelic musical numbers can't mask Across the Universe's clichéd love story and uninteresting characters.
| |
14% First Sunday
First Sunday may have its heart in the right place, however its funny bone is dislocated.
| |
96% Pan's Labyrinth
Pan's Labyrinth is Alice in Wonderland for grown-ups, with the horrors of both reality and fantasy blended together into an extraordinary, spellbinding fable. Told through the eyes of a little girl whose imaginary world is inhabited by nightmarish creatures, Pan's Labyrinth is a visually imaginative and allegorical take on the fears she faced in Spain during WWII.
