	" *Morally speaking, everything about Good* is tidily correct. But it is more a predictable parable than a full-fledged narrative.*" -- TIME Magazine* Posted Dec 31, 2008	Good (2008)	23%
	" It is a well-made film that raises timeless questions about the demands of military duty when they are placed in conflict with higher principles." -- TIME Magazine Posted Dec 30, 2008	Valkyrie (2008)	57%
	" An extraordinarily well-made movie, which wastes no words or images in telling a conventional but compelling story." -- TIME Magazine Posted Dec 21, 2008	A Few Good Men (1992)	83%
	" Rain Man's restraint is, finally, rather like Raymond's gabble. It discourages connections, keeping you out instead of drawing you in." -- TIME Magazine Posted Dec 21, 2008	Rain Man (1988)	87%
	" There's something gripping about the relationship between this ill-assorted pair, and something touching about the way events beyond their control or understanding reach out to blight their lives." -- TIME Magazine Posted Dec 12, 2008	The Reader (2008)	61%
	" ... must be the worst major release in what may be the most disastrous year in recent Hollywood history." -- TIME Magazine Posted Dec 12, 2008	The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)	19%
	" A triumph of willed optimism (or perhaps more accurately, of grudging good nature) over unhappy experiences..." -- TIME Magazine Posted Dec 5, 2008	A Christmas Tale (2008)	90%
	" In the first half of Director John McTiernan's movie, Willis wears an undershirt. In the second half he gets rid of it. And that's pretty much it for his performance." -- TIME Magazine Posted Dec 5, 2008	Die Hard (1988)	94%
	" Australia delivers with real panache." -- TIME Magazine Posted Nov 26, 2008	Australia (2008)	54%
	" It is, of course, always a pleasure to watch Martin's steam-gauge face register his rising internal pressures and to witness his exquisitely expressed blowoffs. But Candy offers even more insinuating delights." -- TIME Magazine Posted Nov 21, 2008	Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)	95%
	" The film really proves only that Jim was a bad drunk and a worse friend, and that in no way was his life exemplary." -- TIME Magazine Posted Nov 21, 2008	The Doors (1991)	56%
	" Like the first of the Addams chronicles, this is an essentially lazy movie, too often settling for easy gags and special effects that don't come to any really funny point." -- TIME Magazine Posted Nov 21, 2008	Addams Family Values (1993)	74%
	" It would be nice to see Connery doing something intrinsically interesting instead of trying to make something inherently dull entertaining. And it would be good to see Snipes cut loose more than he is able to here." -- TIME Magazine Posted Nov 5, 2008	Rising Sun (1993)	36%
	" You know a movie is in trouble when a cow provides its only moment of authentic human interest." -- TIME Magazine Posted Nov 5, 2008	Twister (1996)	55%
	" *Especially for those who have pegged Clint Eastwood too quickly as a masculine traditionalist, White Hunter, Black Heart* is a movie to conjure with.*" -- TIME Magazine* Posted Oct 27, 2008	White Hunter, Black Heart (1990)	90%
	" [Eastwood] gets to the heart of the matter briskly, orchestrates his confrontations intelligently and gets off without lingering unduly over the resultant ugliness." -- TIME Magazine Posted Oct 26, 2008	The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)	97%
	" As a director, Eastwood is not as good as he seems to think he is. As an actor, he is probably better than he allows himself to be." -- TIME Magazine Posted Oct 26, 2008	High Plains Drifter (1973)	96%
	" The question before us is: When exactly did Jonathan Demme lose his sense of humor?" -- TIME Magazine Posted Oct 18, 2008	Rachel Getting Married (2008)	87%
No Rating	Click here to read article -- TIME Magazine Posted Oct 18, 2008	There Will Be Blood (2007)	91%
	" Popular moviemaking -- elegantly economical, artlessly artful -- doesn't get much better than this." -- TIME Magazine Posted Oct 14, 2008	Misery (1990)	90%
	" Richard Kiel, you are missed." -- TIME Magazine Posted Oct 13, 2008	Goldeneye (1995)	79%
	" Setting aside an allright speedboat spectacular over land and water, the film is both perfunctory and predictable -- leaving the mind free to wander into the question of its overall taste. Or lack of it." -- TIME Magazine Posted Oct 13, 2008	Live and Let Die (1973)	63%
	" An exercise in high style that even the most unredeemably rational among moviegoers should find enormously enjoyable." -- TIME Magazine Posted Oct 13, 2008	Carrie (1976)	88%
	" Murray, with his curious blend of pathos and aggressiveness, is terrific, and so is an acutely uptight Dreyfuss, never once copping a plea for our sympathy." -- TIME Magazine Posted Oct 5, 2008	What About Bob? (1991)	81%
	" It is not just the best comedy of the year; it is popular art on the way to becoming cultural artifact." -- TIME Magazine Posted Oct 5, 2008	Tootsie (1982)	87%
	" Whoever thought of having evil's final manifestation take the form of a 100-ft. marshmallow deserves the rational mind's eternal gratitude." -- TIME Magazine Posted Oct 5, 2008	Ghostbusters (1984)	93%
	" Absence of Malice does not invalidate All the President's Men. But with entertainment values -- and a moral sense -- every bit as high as that film's, it observes that there is an underside to journalistic gallantry." -- TIME Magazine Posted Oct 1, 2008	Absence of Malice (1981)	78%
	" Lee is a great self-promoter. After all his press releases and all his interviews, we are given films that are sketchy, unfelt and distancing -- incidents in Lee's career, the only drama that really interests him." -- TIME Magazine Posted Sep 23, 2008	Crooklyn (1994)	76%
	" There is a force and focus in Lee's work, an absence of intellectual posturing and a willingness to let his material speak for itself that he has not achieved before." -- TIME Magazine Posted Sep 22, 2008	Clockers (1995)	67%
	" *The energy and conviction of the action sequences don't quite compensate for Windtalkers' emotional cliches and historical heedlessness." -- TIME Magazine* Posted Sep 19, 2008	Windtalkers (2002)	33%
	" We're not talking high, morally instructive tragedy here, just a hard lesson in postmodernist outlawry and its sad little anarchies." -- TIME Magazine Posted Sep 19, 2008	Leaving Las Vegas (1995)	89%
	" *What's most effective about the new Kiss of Death* is Tucci's marvelously slimy prosecutor.*" -- TIME Magazine* Posted Sep 19, 2008	Kiss of Death (1995)	66%
	" One of the worst movies I've ever seen." -- TIME Magazine Posted Sep 12, 2008	The Women (2008)	13%
	" A rare movie that keeps kids on the edge of their chairs without inducing in their parents an overwhelming desire to escape theirs for a smoke in the lobby." -- TIME Magazine Posted Sep 4, 2008	Watership Down (1978)	82%
	" Kids may be puzzled by rebellious worker ants chanting Marxist slogans, but their parental guides may welcome the relief from the prevailing blandness of family films." -- TIME Magazine Posted Sep 4, 2008	Antz (1998)	95%
	" I Served the King of England may not be a totally riveting movie, but it is, in its gently insinuating way, a curiously rewarding one." -- TIME Magazine Posted Sep 2, 2008	I Served the King of England (2008)	79%
	" No one has ever made a funnier jackass of himself than Murphy." -- TIME Magazine Posted Sep 1, 2008	Shrek (2001)	90%
	" A smart live-and-let-live parable, full of glancing, acute observations on all kinds of big subjects...that you can talk about with the kids for a long time to come." -- TIME Magazine Posted Aug 31, 2008	The Iron Giant (1999)	97%
	" Pixar's improved computer animation is up to all the demands of this excellent adventure." -- TIME Magazine Posted Aug 31, 2008	Toy Story 2 (1999)	100%
	" Even in its warmest moments, there is a fearful chill in this hood's air. And on the hearts of its boyz." -- TIME Magazine Posted Aug 25, 2008	Boyz N the Hood (1991)	98%
	" Perhaps they don't create quite enough deeply funny earthlings to go around, but a thoroughly meanspirited big-budget movie is always a treasurable rarity." -- TIME Magazine Posted Aug 25, 2008	Mars Attacks! (1996)	46%
	" An astonishing display of virtuoso cinema that is destined to take its place among the most vivid and freshly imagined fist-to-groin contests in the medium's history." -- TIME Magazine Posted Aug 25, 2008	Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985)	81%
	" What a concept! Mad Max meets The Cosby Show" -- TIME Magazine Posted Aug 25, 2008	Lethal Weapon (1987)	90%
	" *It's easy to stand back and wax ironic about The Last Samurai. But it's not all that difficult to succumb to its full-spirited romanticism either." -- TIME Magazine* Posted Aug 25, 2008	The Last Samurai (2003)	65%
	" It must be nerve-racking for the producers to offer a tale so lacking in standard melodramatic satisfactions. But the result is worth it, for this is the clearest film statement yet on how the nature of heroism has changed in this totalitarian century." -- TIME Magazine Posted Aug 25, 2008	The Killing Fields (1984)	91%
	" Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon are awfully good at this sort of thing." -- TIME Magazine Posted Aug 24, 2008	Grumpy Old Men (1993)	63%
	" A first-rate thriller." -- TIME Magazine Posted Aug 24, 2008	The Fugitive (1993)	94%
	" Goldarned if the whole fool enterprise is not worth the attention of any moviegoer with a penchant for what one actor, commenting on another's Gabby Hayes imitation, calls 'authentic western gibberish.'" -- TIME Magazine Posted Aug 22, 2008	Blazing Saddles (1974)	89%
	" Moviegoers are hereby alerted to some good fun." -- TIME Magazine Posted Aug 22, 2008	Arthur (1981)	89%
	" *Almost three hours of this jitter deteriorates from bravura filmmaking to annoying mannerism, and Any Given Sunday* ends up less than the sum of its many, often interesting parts.*" -- TIME Magazine* Posted Aug 22, 2008	Any Given Sunday (1999)	48%
