Top Movies Get the lowdown on what critics think of the top movies in release. |
| 13% Untraceable
Despite Diane Lane's earnest effort, Untraceable manages to be nothing more than a run-of-the-mill thriller with a hypocritical message.
| |
|
|
35% Speed Racer
The Wachowski Brothers have overloaded Speed Racer with headache-inducing special effects, and neglected to develop a coherent storyline.
| |
|
84% Tropic Thunder
With biting satire, plenty of subversive humor, and an unforgettable turn by Robert Downey, Jr., Tropic Thunder is a triumphant late Summer comedy.
| |
3% Meet the Spartans

| |
|

Hilary Swank is miscast as the romantic lead in this clichéd film about loss and love.

91% Michael Clayton

The Hunting Party is tonally awkward: its shifts from dark satire to serious political thriller create an uneven film, despite best efforts from its game leads.
| |
34% Reno 911!: Miami
Reno 911!'s anarchic brand of comedy loses much in translation to the big screen where it feels slapdash and shallow.
| |
96% WALL-E
Charming, audacious, and timely, Wall-E's lighthearted magic and stellar visuals testify once again to Pixar's ingenuity.
| |
72% Redbelt
Mamet's mixed marital arts morality play weaves between action and intellect but doesn't always hit its target.
| |
80% I Could Never Be Your Woman
In this offbeat romantic comedy, Tracey Ullman plays Mother Nature, cheerfully interfering with the lives of a woman (Michelle Pfeiffer) who falls for a younger man (Paul Rudd), while her daughter (Saoirse Ronan) struggles with her own romantic issues.
| |
64% King of California
A quirky and often touching comedy about a mature teenager and her manic depressive father, King of California is a charming tale of familial relations and treasure hunting.

|
36% Street Kings
Street Kings contains formulaic violence but no shred of intelligence.
