	" I'd stop short of calling Levine's award-winning film pretentious. ... He just made a small coming-of-age film about the time he came of age, and he did it with just enough dopeness." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Jul 31, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	67%
	" ... it seems they used Film Adaptations for Dummies and thus missed an opportunity to make a great movie with style and atmosphere." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 31, 2008	21 (2008)	35%
	" It's a realism meant to demonstrate how people who enjoy such movies are accessories to the proliferation of violence in media, and Haneke pulls it off with a master's touch." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 17, 2008	Funny Games (2008)	51%
	" GEORGE ROMERO REALLY HAD NOWHERE to take his zombie franchise after 2005's Land of the Dead -- but he made this year's Diary of the Dead anyway." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 17, 2008	Diary of the Dead (1976)	n/a
	" IF THERE IS A ROMANTIC-COMEDY HELL, Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson surely stand at the gates waving people in." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 17, 2008	Fool's Gold (2008)	11%
	" IF THERE IS A ROMANTIC-COMEDY HELL, Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson surely stand at the gates waving people in." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 17, 2008	Fool's Gold (1967)	n/a
	" It gets to be a stretch until the tour winds down and you realize you're rooting for these guys to make it, and what a drag it would be if they don't." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 17, 2008	Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland (2008)	57%
	" If there was more vision on the front end, with more thought put into shot composition and less adherence to trendy, attention-deficit filmmaking, Weirdsville might have been an innovative indie gem" -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 17, 2008	Weirdsville (2007)	56%
	" Pierrot Le Fou was [Godard's] way of wrapping up the past before stepping forward into his next phase of overtly political filmmaking -- a magnificent mash-up before the manifestos to come" -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 17, 2008	Pierrot Le Fou (1965)	76%
	" Anderson's triumphant epic about the bone-breaking, death-defying, orphan-making early days of the oil industry will serve as a benchmark for all of his future films." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 17, 2008	There Will Be Blood (2007)	92%
	" There really doesn't seem to be much of a bright side about a brother and sister who are faced with putting their father in a nursing home, but Jenkins manages to mine humor and heart out of the bleak circumstances." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 17, 2008	The Savages (2007)	90%
	" doesn't a by-the-numbers Rob Reiner buddy movie about dying just about say it all? This is for the hardcore Nicholson and Freeman fans who don't mind considering the mortality of their idols." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 17, 2008	The Bucket List (2007)	41%
	" a dysfunctional family portrait that, at best, shows how far sisterly bonds can stretch without breaking. At worst, it demonstrates what happens when a writer with nothing to say continues to produce after his supply of bio fuel is exhausted" -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 17, 2008	Margot at the Wedding (2007)	52%
	" Enough fictional liberties were taken with The Great Debaters to make it fit neatly on the inspirational genre shelf, but it's grounded in enough reality to excuse Eisle's we-shall-overcome contrivances" -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 17, 2008	The Great Debaters (2007)	80%
	" a perfect storm of incompetent idiocy that might kill off mockumentaries altogether." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 17, 2008	Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)	75%
	" the film actually transcends the novel at times, due in no small part to Seamus McGarvey's fluid camera work." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 17, 2008	Atonement (2007)	83%
	" Queen Latifah and Terrence Howard just show up enough in The Perfect Holiday to either pick up a paycheck or return some kind of mysterious unpaid debt to writer-director Lance Rivera." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 17, 2008	The Perfect Holiday (2007)	17%
	" the mood is as overcast as the sky that follows the Phillips' as they head for Florida and the inevitable moment of revelation. Grace Is Gone is a downer worthy of a super-sized box of Kleenex" -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 17, 2008	Grace is Gone (2007)	58%
	" Seeing WWJB? in a theater is not necessary, although seeing him and the choir hijacking a mall in person would be better than Beowulf in IMAX." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 17, 2008	What Would Jesus Buy? (2007)	62%
	" Never read Garc�a M�rquez and still waiting for a sequel to The Notebook? There's something here for you." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 17, 2008	Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)	28%
	" Bar-Lev handles [the portrayal of the Marla hype machine] sensitively and with a minimum of contrivances. He examines his role, but avoids excessive self-reference." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Dec 1, 2007	My Kid Could Paint That (2007)	93%
	" By the time the film ends on a flat note, it is long past the point of failing to effectively showcase a meeting of minds between two great actors." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Dec 1, 2007	Sleuth (2007)	36%
	" Martian Child would be a Lifetime Movie of the Week without the Cusacks" -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Nov 15, 2007	Martian Child (2007)	30%
	" The elements with which the Farrellys transcend mere gross-out -- pacing, inspired and quirky performances, good writing with an underlying heart -- are missing here, which exposes the underlying creepiness at the heart of the film." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Nov 15, 2007	The Heartbreak Kid (2007)	30%
	" It would be a crime if Jones doesn't receive a Best Actor Oscar nomination, and Sarandon's reaction upon hearing the news of Mike's death should get her an automatic Best Supporting Actress win." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Oct 23, 2007	In the Valley of Elah (2007)	72%
	" ... successfully harkens to the best cop dramas of the '70s, when brutal realism shocked audiences and over-the-top action was confined to car chases." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Oct 23, 2007	We Own The Night (2007)	55%
	" Interview isn't essential viewing, but it has a message for the media and its audience worth absorbing." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Oct 23, 2007	Interview (2007)	57%
	" The final 20 minutes contain some of the best, uncontrived twists of any post-Sixth Sense American suspense film, but there is a good reason for that, as the co-directors reveal with a shocking epilogue." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Oct 23, 2007	Them (2007)	63%
	" Success, adulation, temptation, disgrace, redemption -- it's all there, expressed mostly through the predictably non-expressive Hartnett." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Oct 23, 2007	Resurrecting the Champ (2007)	60%
	" [Twelve-year-old lead actor] Gheroghiu's subtle acting ... makes the somewhat fantastical plot threads that drive the second half of the film believable, and turns what was a somewhat bloodless family drama into a cleverly constructed tale void of life-af" -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Oct 23, 2007	Vitus (2007)	64%
	" The film's message is still relevant, but it's already universally recognized how far the executive branch will go to get its latest war on." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Oct 23, 2007	Rendition (2007)	48%
	" Penn, whose deliberate and successful avoidance of sanctimony is the key to the film's success, uses Chris/Alex to discover his own essence as a director -- except he survived." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Oct 23, 2007	Into the Wild (2007)	83%
	" Penn's challenge was to create a distinct character, especially with the shadow of Travis Bickle looming ... he largely succeeds, although he doesn't achieve De Niro's pathos." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 4, 2005	The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004)	70%
	" Pacino's performance creates a bridge over the language barrier that is the film's saving grace ... and Radford expertly adapts the language to full cinematic potential." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Mar 4, 2005	William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice (2004)	70%
N/A	" Once upon a time, according to 'The Assassination of Richard Nixon,' an American dreamer tried to kill the 37th president." -- AlterNet Posted Mar 4, 2005	The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004)	70%
N/A	" Jessica Yu's documentary explores and empathizes with the vast creative world of outsider artist Henry Darger." -- AlterNet Posted Mar 4, 2005	In the Realms of the Unreal (2004)	72%
N/A	" Gunner Palace is one of a cluster of cultural signifiers indicating a fundamental shift in how we perceive, and will perceive, the war on Iraq." -- AlterNet Posted Mar 4, 2005	Gunner Palace (2005)	85%
N/A	" "I was very impressed by what a good writer he was," says Amen�bar. "His ideas about life and death were quite profound, and I immediately connected with that."" -- AlterNet Posted Jan 10, 2005	The Sea Inside (2004)	82%
	" Gabriele Muccino essentially subjects the audience to what Giulia subjects her family to in the film: a lot of unnecessary drama." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Jan 10, 2005	Remember Me, My Love (2004)	55%
	" Tarnation is a kinetic kaleidoscope, an explosion of expressionism. It's the product of a mind blown apart, but not completely away, by tragic circumstances." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Dec 10, 2004	Tarnation (2004)	92%
	" Takashi Miike is one sick puppy. Anyone who has seen his films understands ... All the same, Miike is an astonishing, prolific filmmaker" -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Nov 26, 2004	Gozu (2004)	72%
	" Condon and director of photography Frederick Elmes create a clinical atmosphere that sets the stage for frank discussion and reflects Kinsey's scientific approach to sex." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Nov 26, 2004	Kinsey (2004)	90%
	" While I'm glad that Annette Bening gets a juicy role in Istv�n Szab�'s Being Julia, I don't find her character sympathetic or charismatic whatsoever." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Nov 18, 2004	Being Julia (2004)	76%
	" The substance doesn't live up to the style. Green was trying to create a thriller, and, although all of the elements are in place, Undertow doesn't thrill." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Nov 18, 2004	Undertow (2004)	56%
	" If the intent of Anderson, Bale and Kosar is to create empathy for their tortured character and synesthesia with his madness, then they succeed many times over." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Nov 18, 2004	The Machinist (2004)	73%
	" This is Staunton's moment in the sun. Her portrayal of the disintegration of Vera's spirit is wrenching." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Nov 9, 2004	Vera Drake (2004)	92%
	" Butler's film may do little to change the outcome of the election, but anyone who questions Kerry's convictions should see Going Upriver before casting their vote." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Oct 29, 2004	Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry (2004)	90%
	" A mostly faithful, beautifully shot cinematic realization of the words that sprung from Guevara's mighty pen" -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Oct 29, 2004	The Motorcycle Diaries (2004)	83%
	" While some scenes seem to have been re-created, any questionable authenticity is negated by the hilariousness of the film." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Oct 29, 2004	The Yes Men (2004)	85%
	" It's a credit to Foxx that his performance fast-tracks the film through its length of 152 minutes and nullifies Hackford's hackery." -- Las Vegas CityLife Posted Oct 29, 2004	Ray (2004)	82%
