4/5	"Filmmaker Brett Morgen returns with another livelier-than-usual entry in the nonfiction field, a portrait of '60s activism that mixes vintage footage with cartoon-animated re-enactments." -- Austin American-Statesman Posted Apr 4, 2008	Chicago 10 (2008)	77%
	"Real-life rags-to-riches Vegas scheme makes for glossy if lightweight fun." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Mar 28, 2008	21 (2008)	35%
	"Stop-Loss has painted itself into a dramatic corner, which might be the most honest expression of the filmmaker's empathy for the men and women serving in Iraq." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Mar 26, 2008	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
	"Excellent concert docu revisits a neglected chapter in Reed's back catalog." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Mar 19, 2008	Lou Reed's Berlin (2008)	76%

	"An entertaining pic that will fascinate admirers but is wide-ranging and unpretentious enough to engage those intimidated by Glass' aesthetic." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Dec 27, 2007	Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts (2008)	73%
	"Daniel Day-Lewis stuns in Paul Thomas Anderson's saga of a soul-dead oil man." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 1, 2007	There Will Be Blood (2007)	92%

	"With subtle laughs but solid emotional thrust, it will play very well with older audiences." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 19, 2007	Then She Found Me (2008)	55%
	"Short on sensational elements but involving, it won't set multiplexes on fire but should make a decent showing thanks to cast and plot." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 19, 2007	The Take (2008)	85%
	"The film's final act is unbelievable, even if we ascribe hidden motivations to uncharacteristic behavior." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 19, 2007	The Past ()	n/a
	"Director [Juan Antonio] Bayona employs the visual language of horror films...with restraint and good taste." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 19, 2007	The Orphanage (2007)	86%

	"*A solid, well presented history of the band's brief career, Joy Division* has appeal for music buffs but could get mileage in theaters from a smart coordination with the feature film's release.*" -- Hollywood Reporter* Posted Sep 18, 2007	Joy Division - Under Review (2006)	n/a
	"Warm-hearted and accessible." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 17, 2007	Caramel (2008)	91%

	"A thoroughly winning feature that, despite appearing to be made with the small screen in mind, could hold its own theatrically in the feel-good docu niche." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted May 2, 2007	Twisted: A Balloonamentary (2007)	83%
	"If the picture secretly hopes to supply viewers with the kind of epiphany its characters seek, it falls short, staying instead on turf tread in many other good-hearted festival films before it. Within that arena though, it holds its own." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Apr 19, 2007	Everything's Gone Green (2007)	69%
	"The product of restless comic imaginations that would rather bounce to the next idea than milk the previous one for every drop. Some viewers may be exhausted by the barrage, but few will complain of not getting their money's worth." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Apr 3, 2007	The Ten (2007)	39%
	"The prisoner's journalistic tendencies served him well in jail: He chronicled details of his captivity, including names and serial numbers of fellow prisoners, in places guards wouldn't notice (like the inside of his boxer shorts)." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Mar 21, 2007	The Prisoner Or: How I Planned To Kill Tony Blair (2007)	86%

	"Out of Sight scribes slides nicely into director's chair with darker crime tale." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Mar 14, 2007	The Lookout (2007)	87%
	"Rear Window meets the iTunes era in fun, slick suspense pic." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Mar 13, 2007	Disturbia (2007)	67%
	"Documentarians Chris Bradley and Kyle Labrache keep things moving at a nice pace while indulging Gurwitch's possibly too frequent attempts to tie the expanding film in to the event that inspired it." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 30, 2007	Fired! (2007)	44%
3/5	"It won't enter the quirktastic-voyage hall of fame, but it's a refreshing ride nonetheless." -- Austin American-Statesman Posted Nov 13, 2006	Little Miss Sunshine (2006)	92%

	"[It] isn't as fresh or weird as the short films that made Tenacious D cult heroes but does capture enough of their spirit to please fans." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 30, 2006	Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (2006)	53%
	"...A likable romantic comedy that delivers enough laughs and star appeal to fare reasonably well in the date-movie department, even if it doesn't entirely live up to its ambitions." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 23, 2006	Catch and Release (2007)	22%
	"The whole fear-of-obese-hillbillies device is starting to smell as stale as Leatherface's playroom." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 25, 2006	The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)	13%
	"No unexpected detours in road movie about three middle-age women." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 19, 2006	Bonneville (2006)	41%
	"A highly unusual viewing experience that stimulates the senses and the conscience simultaneously." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 18, 2006	Manufactured Landscapes (2007)	84%
	"Smart, visually appealing, and consistently engaging." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 15, 2006	Lake of Fire (2007)	94%
	"Sarah Polley's directing debut is an assured, moving look at coping with Alzheimer's." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 15, 2006	Away From Her (2007)	95%
	"The inimitable Guy Maddin outdoes himself with psyche-probing silent film." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 15, 2006	Brand Upon The Brain! (2006)	91%
	"The action isn't nearly sufficient to carry all the mumbo-jumbo, and the cast doesn't have enough charisma to keep the script afloat on their own." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 15, 2006	Jade Warrior (2006)	n/a
	"An artful experiment that's imposingly cryptic but comes from a respected filmmaker, it should appeal to its art house niche." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 15, 2006	Syndromes and A Century (2007)	87%
	"*Kim brings more warmth and humor into Time* than he has in some of his best-known work.*" -- Hollywood Reporter* Posted Sep 15, 2006	Time (2007)	81%

	"Icon of bad taste John Waters plays kindly uncle to tomorrow's delinquents in funny one-man show." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 13, 2006	This Filthy World (2006)	85%
	"Not every admirer of the first film will enjoy it, but it values its subjects too much to mold their rhythms to an outsider's attention span." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 13, 2006	The Journals of Knud Rasmussen (2006)	89%
	"Polish take on generic crime material is dull, except for a self-parodic soundtrack." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 13, 2006	Palimpsest (2006)	n/a
