" ... 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

" 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

Diary of the Dead (1976)n/a

" 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%

" 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)51%

" a perfect storm of incompetent idiocy that might kill off mockumentaries altogether." -- Las Vegas CityLife

" 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

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

Grace is Gone (2007)59%

" 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

" Never read García Márquez and still waiting for a sequel to The Notebook? There's something here for you." -- Las Vegas CityLife

" 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

Sleuth (2007)36%
/
 
" 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%

" Success, adulation, temptation, disgrace, redemption -- it's all there, expressed mostly through the predictably non-expressive Hartnett." -- Las Vegas CityLife

Resurrecting the Champ (2007)60%

" 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

Rendition (2007)48%

" While I'm glad that Annette Bening gets a juicy role in István Szabó's Being Julia, I don't find her character sympathetic or charismatic whatsoever." -- Las Vegas CityLife

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

Undertow (2004)56%

" After building anticipation throughout most of the film, Glazer fizzles out near the end. ... Once again, a brilliant filmmaker falls victim to the sophomore slump." -- Las Vegas CityLife

" The main problem is that Shaun feels like a high-budget, season-ending, extended-length TV episode. Once the situation itself is milked for laughs, the film falls flat." -- Las Vegas CityLife

Shaun of the Dead (2004)91%

" The most interesting character in the book remains 4-years-old [in the film], never growing up into the anguished heart of the novel." -- Las Vegas CityLife

The Door in the Floor (2004)66%

" There isn't enough story or character development to make this into the breathtaking escapade Klapisch seems to have aspired to." -- Las Vegas CityLife

" American audiences expect crouching tigers and hidden dragons in their Asian fare, so plodding elephants may be a little anti-climactic. This one is for the history buffs." -- Las Vegas CityLife

" Dequenne fills the free-spirited role of Laura adequately enough. But there's precious little chemistry or understanding as to why she's attracted to Jacques…" -- Las Vegas CityLife

The Housekeeper (2003)76%

" Crialese's stated purpose is to create a sense of magical realism, and even as he draws on an actual fable to do so, there's an incomplete feeling to the production." -- Las Vegas CityLife

Respiro (2003)77%

" Why do filmmakers continue to let Billy Bob Thornton sleepwalk through their productions?" -- Las Vegas CityLife

Levity (2003)36%

" Watching Hoffman completely give himself over to his addiction is pretty draining. Although the film has a subtext … it's basically a ride down to the bottom with an addict." -- Las Vegas CityLife

Owning Mahowny (2003)78%

" McTiernan's bitten off way more than he could chew, spicing up the Usual Suspects approach with a dash of Rashomon and a little of help from A Few Good Men." -- Las Vegas CityLife

Basic (2003)21%

" … bringing music-video director Paul Hunter was a good move for pacing, but he could use a few lessons in filming fight scenes." -- Las Vegas CityLife

Bulletproof Monk (2003)22%

" Petroni may have chosen to move the plot along at a snail's pace to reflect the mood of Prufrock's poem, but there isn't enough lyricism in the film to save the story." -- Las Vegas CityLife

Till Human Voices Wake Us (2003)24%

" Although the images from the film are poetic and are more fondly recalled in hindsight, in this case art film for art film's sake doesn't fly very high." -- Las Vegas CityLife

Gerry (2003)61%

" Is this what we were waiting for? Now we know why Miramax took a Hattori Hanzi sword to Quentin Tarantino's latest production and divided it in two." -- Las Vegas CityLife

Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004)85%
/
 
" … the premise and setting that are intriguing, but the obvious foreshadowing and labored attempt to slowly unravel the facts surrounding the plot are drawbacks." -- Las Vegas CityLife

The Reckoning (2004)40%

" The characters are mostly slices of a whodunit pie, and once the real revelation that spins the story around happens, there isn't much reason to care about them anymore." -- Las Vegas CityLife

Identity (2003)63%

" The Eye is a haphazardly constructed horror movie based on a premise that the Thailand-based brothers couldn't figure out an ending for." -- Las Vegas CityLife

The Eye (2003)65%

" While Assayas is masterful at creating an eerie mood and has a far-sighted grasp of future shock, he seems to have left orbit while trying to tie up Demonlover's loose ends" -- Las Vegas CityLife

Demonlover (2003)48%

" Rule No. 1: If you use black humor in a film about real-life characters and events, make sure you have a feel for it first." -- Las Vegas CityLife

" Despite claims to the contrary, The Gospel does come off as a three-hour long Sunday School lesson." -- Las Vegas CityLife

" 'We're left with a film that doesn't create enough interest in what went on in those Laurel Canyon backyards to justify pulling over and watching.'" -- Las Vegas CityLife
