" It's a pretty good movie -- a bold, uneasy mix of romance, political debate and vigorous action." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Jan 5, 2009
 
Defiance (2008)41%
/
 
" After sitting through this fractious fairy tale, we feel as plucked as a Christmas goose." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Dec 29, 2008
 
Bedtime Stories (2008)24%
/
 
" It's a lovely performance [by Dawson], in part because her character throws every charm she's got at the one man who seems doomed to deflect it." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Dec 19, 2008
 
Seven Pounds (2008)28%
/
 
" This prom-night balloon of a movie floats easily above the year's other exercises in '50s nostalgia. If you dare reach for it, it will land smartly in your heart." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Dec 14, 2008
 
Peggy Sue Got Married (1986)88%
/
 
" Langella is not a natural Nixon; he has a voluptuary's face and a self-assurance the president only dreamed of. So he burrows into Nixon and comes out with a figure who is less a simulacrum than the definitive interpretation." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Dec 12, 2008
 
Frost/Nixon (2008)91%
/
 
" The Merry Christmas catalogue of atrocities finally becomes numbing, even ludicrous." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Dec 10, 2008
 
Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983)75%
/
 
" A fun house of funereal glamour." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Dec 5, 2008
 
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)97%
/
 
" Bujold has the frazzled hauteur of an aging, neglected star, and Spelling is nicely glazed, studiously artless. But the film is keyed to Posey's performance: perfectly brittle, faultlessly false." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Nov 21, 2008
 
The House of Yes (1997)62%
/
 
" In the pre-Thanksgiving lull, parents can take their young'uns to Bolt, drop their 10-to-14-year-olds off at Twilight, and the whole family will have survived the weekend." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Nov 21, 2008
 
Bolt (2008)85%
/
 
" Its plot has the elegant geometry of a Philip Barry play." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Nov 21, 2008
 
Hannah and Her Sisters (1986)93%
/
 
" It rekindles the warmth of great Hollywood romances, where foreplay was the climax and a kiss was never just a kiss." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Nov 20, 2008
 
Twilight (2008)50%
/
 
" Director Marc Forster turns out to be a natural as the helmer of a high-energy, high-gloss action film." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Nov 10, 2008
 
Quantum of Solace (2008)65%
/
 
" At 38, the grand old man of raunch talk has figured out how to make a movie that's sweet, funny and (a little) sexy." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Oct 30, 2008
 
Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)64%
/
 
" Madison County is Eastwood's gift to women: to Francesca, to all the girls he's loved before -- and to Streep, who alchemizes literary mawkishness into intelligent movie passion." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Oct 27, 2008
 
The Bridges of Madison County (1995)90%
/
 
" Pale Rider does nothing to disprove the wisdom that this genre is best left to the revival houses. A double feature of Shane and Eastwood's High Plains Drifter will do just fine, thanks." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Oct 26, 2008
 
Pale Rider (1985)92%
/
 
" Eastwood's meditation on age, repute, courage, heroism -- on all those burdens he has been carrying with such good grace for decades." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Oct 26, 2008
 
Unforgiven (1992)96%
/
 
" The moviegoers are passive hostages on a long ride they've taken so many times before. So gameboys are advised to man their PlayStations this weekend; action-movie fans in search of red meat can wait for the inevitably more graphic DVD version." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Oct 17, 2008
 
Max Payne (2008)18%
/
 
" The film is full of sweet, subtle touches." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Oct 17, 2008
 
The Secret Life of Bees (2008)56%
/
 
" Moore is merely the best-oiled cog in this perpetual motion machine." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Oct 13, 2008
 
For Your Eyes Only (1981)74%
/
 
" Bond had degenerated into a male model, and something of a genial anachronism." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Oct 13, 2008
 
Octopussy (1983)48%
/
 
" This Bond is as fast on his feet as with his wits; an ironic scowl creases his face; he's battle ready yet war-weary." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Oct 13, 2008
 
The Living Daylights (1987)72%
/
 
" The Bond women are pallid mannequins, and so is the misused Dalton -- a moving target in a Savile Row suit. For every plausible reason, he looks as bored in his second Bond film as Sean Connery did in his sixth." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Oct 13, 2008
 
Licence to Kill (1989)72%
/
 
" The good news about RockNRolla is that it more or less erases the tainted memories of Swept Away, and the nearly incoherent Revolver, and marks Ritchie's return to the form of the 1998 Lock, Stock and its 2000 follow-up Snatch." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Oct 8, 2008
 
RocknRolla (2008)58%
/
 
" Lost in Translation revels in contradictions. It's a comedy about melancholy, a romance without consummation, a travelogue that rarely hits the road." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Oct 5, 2008
 
Lost in Translation (2003)95%
/
 
" [Murray] carries Groundhog Day with his uniquely frittery nonchalance and makes the movie a comic time warp anyone should be happy to get stuck in." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Oct 5, 2008
 
Groundhog Day (1993)96%
/
 
" In the 1930s, Hollywood had The Thin Man, with the married couple Nick and Nora Charles as the epitome of Manhattan swank. Though this Nick and Norah have a lot more angst, they're just as worth watching, admiring and cuddling up to." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)72%
/
 
" Despite its elements of brutality, this is a buoyant hymn to life, and a movie to celebrate." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Slumdog Millionaire (2008)94%
/
 
" Lee sketches Malcolm's life colorfully, if by the numbers. But he falls victim to the danger of movie biography: he elevates Malcolm's importance until the vital historical context is obscured." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 23, 2008
 
Malcolm X (1992)93%
/
 
" In this film we learn that it takes 8,000 lbs. of pressure to crush a car but only one credited screenwriter (Scott Rosenberg) to pound out such a lame script." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 19, 2008
 
Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)25%
/
 
" Slick, brutal and almost human, this is the team-spirit action movie Mission: Impossible should have been." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 19, 2008
 
The Rock (1996)66%
/
 
" Emperor doesn't aim too high or strain too hard; it is at ease inhabiting its pretty, miniature realm." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 8, 2008
 
The Emperor's New Groove (2000)85%
/
 
" It provides some fine artists the chance to stretch and frolic, even as it reminds today's audiences of animation's limitless borders." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 7, 2008
 
Fantasia 2000 (1999)84%
/
 
" Palaces and shimmering lakes, warplanes and fire sprites all come to life at the breath of Miyazaki's graphic genius." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 7, 2008
 
Howl's Moving Castle (2005)86%
/
 
" Vous guessed it by now: Triplettes is terrific." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 4, 2008
 
The Triplets of Belleville (2003)94%
/
 
" We fully anticipate the wrath of several generations of possessive children when we declare that the new Disney film of James and the Giant Peach is an improvement on Roald Dahl's 1961 backyard fantasy." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 3, 2008
 
James and the Giant Peach (1996)96%
/
 
" Exactly the picker-upper this macho-movie summer needs." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 3, 2008
 
Chicken Run (2000)98%
/
 
" The opening cartoon upstages the movie that emerges from it." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 3, 2008
 
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988)98%
/
 
" The result is a grand cartoon cathedral, teeming with gargoyles and treachery, hopeless love and tortured lust." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 2, 2008
 
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)73%
/
 
" [A] handsome, deeply felt, even more deeply reverent animated musical." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 2, 2008
 
Pocahontas (1995)56%
/
 
" Burn After Reading is a movie about stupidity that left me feeling stupid." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 2, 2008
 
Burn After Reading (2008)79%
/
 
" It's a bright, engaging bauble with half a dozen Elvis Presley songs for Mom and Dad, and just enough sass -- Stitch sticks his tongue into his nose and eats his snot -- to keep the tweeners giggling." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 2, 2008
 
Lilo & Stitch (2002)85%
/
 
" It juggles a '90s impudence with the old Disney swank and heart." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 1, 2008
 
Aladdin (1992)91%
/
 
" This is a bright movie, in both senses of the word." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 1, 2008
 
Hercules (1997)89%
/
 
" What's terrific about Mulan is its reaching for emotions that other movies run from: family love and duty, personal honor and group commitment, obedience and ingenuity." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 1, 2008
 
Mulan (1998)87%
/
 
" The plot matures handsomely; the characters neatly converge and combust; the gags pay off with emotional resonance." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 1, 2008
 
A Bug's Life (1998)91%
/
 
" Its animators' pens are wands; their movement enchants." -- TIME Magazine
Posted Sep 1, 2008
 
Beauty and the Beast (1991)93%

" The good guys are those who realize that laughter is stronger than fear. That's a message worth taking to heart these jittery days." -- TIME Magazine

Monsters, Inc. (2001)94%

" The final work justifies every meticulous, monastic, masochistic effort." -- TIME Magazine

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)95%

" Nemo, with its ravishing underwater fantasia, manages to trump the design glamour of earlier Pixar films." -- TIME Magazine
