Fresh	Fresh 88%	Wild Style (1982)	" Charlie Ahearn’s groundbreaking film about hip-hop, graffiti, break dancing, and rap in eighties New York celebrates its 25th anniversary with a new 35-mm. print." Posted Nov 10, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 34%	Pride and Glory (2008)	" There may not be much new about director Gavin O’Connor’s cop-corruption drama, but it’s packed with enough gritty action and unflinching violence to keep things interesting." Posted Oct 20, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 90%	I've Loved You So Long (2008)	" Thomas plays Juliette as if she’s trapped within her own body too, gradually learning to navigate her old world. Her performance gives life to a taut narrative." Posted Oct 20, 2008
—	Fresh 86%	The Orphanage (2007)	Click here to read article Posted Oct 18, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 45%	Sex Drive (2008)	" The trip takes them to hysterical locales, and the cast is often hilarious in this low budget surprise." Posted Oct 13, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 78%	Ashes of Time Redux (1994)	" Ignore the incomprehensible storyline and soak in the melancholy mood of Wong’s ethereal vision." Posted Oct 6, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 94%	Alexander Nevsky (1938)	" Sergei Eisenstein’s mannerist epic about the Russian hero who warded off the invading Teutonic knights is a near-perfect combination of image and sound." Posted Sep 22, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 74%	Virtual JFK (2008)	" With its fascinating central question (What if … ) and well-chosen, nostalgic footage of John F. Kennedy in his prime, this well-played documentary manages to escape the fate of other dry historical overviews." Posted Sep 15, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 85%	Ghost Town (2008)	" Who knew that Ricky Gervais could play such a likable leading man?" Posted Sep 15, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 50%	Battle in Seattle (2008)	" The drama gets heavy-handed at times, but the film is a triumph, thanks to a crack cast including Connie Nielson, stunning as a TV reporter who joins her subjects in protest." Posted Sep 15, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 80%	Flow: For Love of Water (2008)	" It’s a plainly one-sided call to arms, but with good reason -- you may never look at your faucet without flinching again." Posted Sep 8, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 100%	Day of Wrath (1943)	" Danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer’s 1943 masterpiece begins as a film about seventeenth-century witch hunts in Northern Europe, but it’s really a psychological thriller about the pull of evil on weak souls." Posted Aug 25, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 90%	Momma's Man (2008)	" It melds a poignant drama of adulthood with a surreal portrait of emotional paralysis, with an unexpected paean to the American avant-garde thrown in." Posted Aug 18, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 43%	What We Do Is Secret (2008)	" The amateur vibe suits the subject matter, and the young cast rises to the challenge." Posted Aug 4, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 69%	Red (2008)	" This powerful, elemental drama hits all the buttons, probably to a fault, but it’s helped along by fine performances all around." Posted Aug 4, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 65%	Patti Smith - Dream of Life (2008)	" Steven Sebring’s gorgeous, up-close-and-personal doc about the legendary rocker is both a journey into Smith’s storied past and a portrait of her life today." Posted Aug 4, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 47%	Bottle Shock (2008)	" Offers a fine opportunity for crowd-pleasing theatrics, and Randall Miller’s indie comedy largely delivers, thanks in part to the performances of such venerable actors as Bill Pullman and Alan Rickman." Posted Aug 4, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 88%	Frozen River (2008)	" Hunt’s gruff, blue-collar debut is a terrific arrival." Posted Jul 28, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 84%	In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008)	" The story may not feel particularly original, but it’s exceedingly well acted and palpably atmospheric." Posted Jul 28, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 64%	A Very British Gangster (2008)	" MacIntyre’s access -- and what he does with it -- is nothing short of astonishing, as he and his cameras follow Noonan through criminal trials, mob funerals, and many unguarded moments." Posted Jul 14, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 86%	Before I Forget (2008)	" The film doesn’t feel like a tragedy, but instead a droll slice of life -- perhaps a bit too muted and overlong, but often compelling in its own way." Posted Jul 14, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 83%	Days and Clouds (2008)	" Italian director Silvio Soldini’s engrossing marital drama chronicles the growing divide that develops between a well-to-do, long-married couple when the money evaporates." Posted Jul 7, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 93%	Tell No One (2008)	" This smash-hit French thriller starts slowly -- and builds into a sharp action flick, though an overload of plot twists threatens to bog things down midway through." Posted Jun 30, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 75%	Gunnin' for That #1 Spot (2008)	" It’s as much a snapshot of the contemporary basketball scene as it is a love letter to the famed uptown court." Posted Jun 23, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 39%	Full Grown Men (2008)	" It's a beautiful, delicately observed comedy." Posted Jun 23, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 65%	Brick Lane (2008)	" Monica Ali’s expansive, epic best seller about decades in the life of a sheltered wife from Bangladesh in the titular London neighborhood is transformed into a compact, delicate tale of adultery, extremism, and awakening." Posted Jun 16, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 96%	Monsieur Verdoux (1947)	" In its uncanny depiction of a weakling whose crimes pale against those of the war-mad society around him, it’s a near masterpiece." Posted Jun 9, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 100%	Take Out (2008)	" ...manages to mix immersive, pseudo-documentary filmmaking with a suspenseful narrative." Posted Jun 2, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 55%	The Foot Fist Way (2008)	" It may not look like much, but the low-budget tae kwon do comedy The Foot Fist Way is one of the funniest DIY flicks in years, thanks to the droll wit of writer-director Jody Hill and star Danny McBride." Posted May 27, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 96%	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	" ...manages to be two films at once: One is an informative portrait of a power-hungry society; the other is an intensely gripping narrative of personal growth." Posted May 27, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 74%	A Jihad for Love (2007)	" Parvez Sharma’s brave documentary about homosexuality in the Muslim world presents a brutally honest, eye-opening look at gay and lesbian individuals who continue to practice their religion, despite its blunt, often violent rejection of their orientation." Posted May 19, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 80%	Yella (2007)	" It’s one of those films that keeps swirling in your brain once it’s done -- thanks both to its somewhat unresolved ending and to the many subtle themes touched on throughout." Posted May 12, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 66%	Fugitive Pieces (2008)	" The resonant film that results is not without its flaws, but it’s ultimately quite absorbing." Posted Apr 28, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 81%	Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts (2008)	" As haunting in its own way as one of Glass’ own works." Posted Apr 14, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 69%	The First Saturday in May (2008)	" A generally upbeat film, it could easily work as a promotion for the sport—although it does offer some sad moments courtesy of the much-publicized tragedy of Barbaro." Posted Apr 14, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 84%	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	" *The film may not be as laugh-packed as its predecessor Knocked Up, but it charms nonetheless.*" Posted Apr 14, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 63%	Bra Boys (2008)	" Russell Crowe narrates this engrossing Australian documentary, which chronicles the development of the notorious Sydney surfing crew." Posted Apr 7, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 90%	Beyond Belief (2007)	" First-time director Beth Murphy's genuinely inspirational documentary tracks the goodwill efforts of Susan Retik and Patti Quigley, two Massachusetts mothers widowed on September 11 while pregnant." Posted Feb 19, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 22%	P.S. I Love You (2007)	" An unapologetic tearjerker, the film lays on the sap at points, but is helped immeasurably by surprisingly clever dialogue and well-played, funny performances by the supporting cast." Posted Dec 17, 2007
Rotten	Rotten 46%	Cassandra's Dream (2008)	" What the hell was Woody Allen thinking?" Posted Dec 17, 2007
