Rotten	Rotten 59%	Pirate Radio (2009)	" Rock-filled ensemble comedy inspired by the rogue broadcasts of rock hits from North Sea ships in the '60s runs seriously aground from so much lightweight cargo and an apocalyptic ending pirated from action-adventure." — Film Journal International Posted Nov 13, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 14%	Looking for Palladin (2009)	" The unsubtle approach to a lead character--a crude, motormouth Hollywood talent agent--sinks this otherwise often watchable comedic drama about a show-biz fish out of water in quaintest Guatemala." — Film Journal International Posted Oct 30, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 100%	The Maid (2009)	" Small-scale but absorbing drama from Chile about an upper-middle-class family and their territorial maid." — Film Journal International Posted Oct 16, 2009

Fresh	Rotten 31%	Tickling Leo (2009)	" Impressive production and performances outweigh ambiguities in this low-budget Holocaust-themed contemporary drama..." — Film Journal International Posted Sep 2, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 86%	Fifty Dead Men Walking (2009)	" Docu-like film based on exploits of an actual Belfast hood turned informer against IRA terrorists is an explosive cinematic experience." — Film Journal International Posted Aug 18, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 68%	Grace (2009)	" Lame horror entry about a woman who gives birth to a literal little monster won't scare up the bucks, in spite of post-fest hype." — Film Journal International Posted Aug 13, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 93%	Yoo-hoo, Mrs. Goldberg (2009)	" This wonderful doc about radio and TV icon Gertrude Berg is a cornucopia of nostalgia for viewers of a certain age." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jul 17, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 87%	500 Days of Summer (2009)	" Perfect casting and all-around craftsmanship make this delightful, music-fueled contemporary rumination on a big-city romance a big summer surprise." — Film Journal International Posted Jul 16, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 83%	Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)	" This latest, more mature installment in the "prince" of franchises should prove to be one of the strongest, as better plotting, pacing, effects and always delicious Brit cast tempt more elders to join the kid masses." — Film Journal International Posted Jul 13, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 93%	Yoo-hoo, Mrs. Goldberg (2009)	" This wonderful doc about radio and TV icon Gertrude Berg is a cornucopia of nostalgia for viewers of a certain age, but Berg's signature Molly Goldberg character lacks "I Love Lucy" legs." — Film Journal International Posted Jul 10, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 47%	The Girl From Monaco (2009)	" Silly romantic comedy about a very proper top Parisian criminal lawyer on a case in Monaco where he falls for a trashy local eludes both truths and justice to its audience.

Fresh	Rotten 36%	Angels & Demons (2009)	" *Dynamite ticking-bomb-thriller follow-up to the smash Da Vinci Code, about a cataclysmic device set to destroy the Vatican, will most certainly have explosive results at the box office." — Film Journal International* Posted May 12, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 10%	My Life in Ruins (2009)	" *Nia Vardalos, whose breakthrough came with the smash indie stunner My Big Fat Greek Wedding,* again carries her lead role, but this vehicle feels far more manufactured and forced.*" — Hollywood Reporter* Posted May 7, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 31%	A Touch of Spice (2006)	" This handsome widescreen production about a spice-obsessed Greek professor's journey to adulthood mixes food, history and family ties very palatably and poetically." — Film Journal International Posted Apr 24, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 69%	Adoration (2009)	" Celebrated Canadian filmmaker Atom Egoyan ingeniously merges themes of family history, human psychology, politics, prejudice, terrorism and technology into an intriguing and intelligent drama that also works as a mystery." — Film Journal International Posted Apr 17, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 91%	Il Divo (2009)	" A smash in its native country, this highly engrossing and stylized look at one of Italy's most notorious politicians is a triumph for filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino." — Film Journal International Posted Apr 16, 2009

Fresh	Fresh 91%	Every Little Step (2009)	" Superb documentary about the creation, birth and rebirth of American musical phenom A Chorus Line should rouse several generations of fans who will be swept away by nostalgia for a beloved classic and/or the thrilling drama captured here." — Film Journal International Posted Mar 23, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 65%	Duplicity (2009)	" Corporate espionage caper in which two government operatives having amorous flings in various global stopovers decide to team up and go private to earn a bundle. Star power of Julia Roberts and Clive Owen and yummy locations fail to compensate for madly c" — Film Journal International Posted Mar 20, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 88%	Robert Blecker Wants Me Dead (2009)	" Intriguing, thought-provoking documentary about a pro-death-penalty lawyer and his unlikely relationship with a murderer on death row will satisfy socially conscious viewers on both sides of the ever-controversial issue." — Film Journal International Posted Feb 27, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 76%	Shall We Kiss? (2008)	" A gaggle of upwardly mobile yuppies are buffeted by the stings of love and lust in an utterly charming, smart and very French take on the birds and the bees and the mysteries of coincidence. Dollops of both Woody Allen and Eric Rohmer enrich this romantic" — Film Journal International Posted Feb 24, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 90%	Hunger (2008)	" Minimalist in its approach and unconventionally structured, the film functions more as a stylistic exercise than an exercise in putting forth a hard-line political agenda or a sociopolitical point of view." — Film Journal International Posted Feb 23, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 79%	12 (2007)	" *Electrifying drama about a jury at odds pays respectful homage to Sidney Lumet's classic 12 Angry Men* while exposing post-Communist Russia at its worst and time-resistant human nature at its best.*" — Film Journal International* Posted Feb 23, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 59%	Eleven Minutes (2009)	" This delirious, delicious, deconstructing look at the recent real-world entry into fashion of reality-TV's first "Project Runway" winner Jay McCarroll should round up the usual suspects of gay, style-conscious viewers and many others eager for a good time" — Film Journal International Posted Feb 19, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 10%	Memorial Day (2009)	" Unpleasant concoction attempting to link soldiers on a drunken, sex-filled holiday beach leave with their horrific, sadistic behavior at an Abu Ghraib-like Iraqi prison is literally nauseating, no thanks to camerawork gone wild." — Film Journal International Posted Feb 3, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 94%	Moscow, Belgium (2008)	" This polished Belgian diamond of a comedy-drama, about a hot-tempered, foul-mouthed working-class wife and mother jolted out of a nasty rut by an unlikely but problematic younger lover, completely rocks." — Film Journal International Posted Dec 29, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 61%	Marley & Me (2008)	" Utterly delightful, fact-based story of how a loving but unruly yellow Labrador brings joy and occasional tsuris to a young Florida couple and their offspring makes for perfect holiday entertainment. Families, dog lovers and even demanding breeds of filmg" — Film Journal International Posted Dec 29, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 43%	Yes Man (2008)	" Making a hilarious jab at the self-help masses and their worked-up gurus, this latest Jim Carrey vehicle affords him delicious comedic opportunities as a newly recruited adherent to a kind of "Positivism for Dummies" movement. Worshippers of Carrey's timi" — Film Journal International Posted Dec 19, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 27%	Seven Pounds (2008)	" Inspirational misfire about a guy seeking redemption by helping complete strangers has Will Smith in his grimmest role and his sloppiest movie. Whether his name can help this confusing film will be a big test of his star power." — Film Journal International Posted Dec 19, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 62%	The Reader (2008)	" Gripping period drama centers on an upper-class Berlin teen's furtive affair with a sexy but coarse tram worker. The liaison serves as a launch pad for a unique examination of German post-Holocaust guilt." — Film Journal International Posted Dec 10, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 90%	The Black Balloon (2008)	" Small Aussie family drama about a likeable teen's acceptance of his severely disturbed older brother is a sweet and sunny charmer that will be a tough sell at theatres but should find its way home to smaller screens." — Film Journal International Posted Dec 8, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 93%	Milk (2008)	" Van Sant's biopic prevails as a unique and sweeping cinematic experience that is both exhilarating and horrific." — Film Journal International Posted Nov 24, 2008

Fresh	Fresh 86%	A Christmas Tale (2008)	" Dense, energetic, occasionally indulgent but ultimately involving family drama, about the travails of a dysfunctional extended middle-class family who convene to celebrate Christmas, delivers gifts by way of a sterling cast led by Catherine Deneuve and Ma" — Film Journal International Posted Nov 10, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 65%	The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008)	" Sturdy Holocaust drama focusing on childhood and innocence amidst the horror takes the multi-Oscar-winning Life Is Beautiful to more harrowing and credible extremes. An original but somewhat contrived look at kids bonding across a death camp's barb" — Film Journal International Posted Nov 7, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 63%	One Day You'll Understand (2008)	" Drama about a French Jewish family's suffering, secrets, and denials regarding Nazi persecution during the French Occupation is an often disorienting collage of memory shards. But the legendary Jeanne Moreau and other excellent cast help hold interest." — Film Journal International Posted Oct 30, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 67%	High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008)	" Sunny, wholesome, exuberant third installment of Disney's teen musical franchise is strictly for the kids. It's overdone in a comforting old Hollywood-meets-Bollywood way designed for the teen-and-younger demographic." — Film Journal International Posted Oct 23, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 91%	Stranded (2008)	" *Ultimately, Stranded* is about good people surviving with dignity and decency through the worst that can be imagined. Could there be a more appropriate film for the times we live in now?*" — Film Journal International* Posted Oct 23, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 60%	W. (2008)	" Give W. a W for "wonderful," B for "balance," and A for excellence in those things that add up to terrific filmed entertainment. Brolin's Dubya, Stone's direction, and Weiser's script nail it, with invaluable support from others both above and below-the-l" — Film Journal International Posted Oct 17, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 80%	I Served the King of England (2008)	" This inventive, charming picture-perfect picaresque tale of an ambitious young Czech rascal scrambling in the pre-Nazi and wartime eras marks a welcome and victorious return for Jiri Menzel, whose last major conquest was his 1967 Oscar-winning debut, C" — Film Journal International Posted Oct 13, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 58%	Humboldt County (2008)	" Dud drama about a med-school failure from L.A. who finds himself amidst pot-growing hippies in a remote corner of the eponymous "Lost Coast" county." — Film Journal International Posted Oct 8, 2008
Fresh 65/100	Fresh 86%	Rachel Getting Married (2008)	" *There's warmth aplenty in Rachel Getting Married, and a little anarchy. But it's the authenticity that's lacking." — Film Journal International* Posted Oct 8, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 82%	Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)	" Delivers to diehard fans of both the veteran's films and The Travel Channel." — Film Journal International Posted Aug 8, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 74%	A Girl Cut in Two (2008)	" This latest skewering of the privileged, tragically flawed and selfishly driven makes it clear that there is no other filmmaker to better tell The Eliot Spitzer Story." — Film Journal International Posted Aug 8, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 84%	In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008)	" Mumblecore to the core--a loose, quirky, minimal indie." — Film Journal International Posted Aug 1, 2008
