    Giuliani Time (2006)

    " So successful -- the archive being so generous, after all -- at painting Giuliani as an unlikable bully that by the end of the film you're left wondering, Why even bother?"

    Night Watch (2005)

    " If Night Watch is energetic, it is also frenetic; if neatly plotted, it is also too open-ended, a set-up for the remaining two installments of a trilogy."

    The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005)

    " For a movie about the policing of borders, couldn't this one have maintained a firmer one, between credulity and incredulity? Between seriousness and self-seriousness?"

    " Any work of art that embarrasses us for inclining toward warmth or decency (or, God forbid, humor) ought to be distrusted. On the other hand, I have found myself unable to shake Caché."

    Bubble (2006)

    " As the plot unfolded along the lines of a conventional melodrama, I couldn't help thinking: In addition to health care and a living wage, don't the working poor deserve makeup, wardrobe, decent lighting, and some heart-skipping drama?"

    Underworld: Evolution (2006)

    " I dare anyone to follow the plot, which manages, like some ill-baked meringue, to be both too light on the surface and too densely clotted underneath."

    Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World (2006)

    " All this, to spoof a petty little Hollywood ego? Too inside."

    Match Point (2005)

    " Match Point is a good movie -- a good, solid movie."
