Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 38%	My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? (2009)	" Herzog's second film of the year -- the supposed antidote to Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans -- is such a confused jumble of influences that it is completely ineffectual both as an experience and as an instrument of dialogue." Posted Dec 11, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 59%	Creation (2009)	" Darwin�s personal tragedies and intellectual dilemmas, coupled with his moral struggles, are rife with possibilities, but Amiel disappoints. He just can�t seem to rise above the level of pedestrian drama." Posted Nov 20, 2009
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 47%	Dorian Gray (2010)	" By leaving nothing up to the imagination, Parker destroys the very essence of the film." Posted Sep 24, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 57%	The Invention of Lying (2009)	" This film is loads of fun and boasts an all star comic cast, featuring Gervais with Jennifer Garner, Tina Fey, Louis C.K., Jonah Hill and Rob Lowe. Their spirited interaction with this clever script is worth the price of admission alone" Posted Sep 17, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 87%	A Serious Man (2009)	" Laugh out loud funny." Posted Sep 14, 2009
Rotten 2/5	N/A	Suck (2009)	" Juggling conventions, skewering clich�s and referencing genre cues, Stefaniuk packs the film with so many insider jokes that what could have been a wild ride simply isn�t." Posted Sep 11, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 67%	The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009)	" Every favorite Gilliam device and trope is employed here to breathtaking effect." Posted Sep 10, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 50%	Agora (2009)	" Behind the pomp and circumstance of the film�s spectacle, Amen�bar carefully organizes the dramatic details to prove that a marriage between logic and compassion is best. It�s a message that often gets lost in this grand vision but a satisfying one." Posted Sep 10, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 87%	Mongol (2008)	" This revisionist history of the early life of Ghengis Khan leaves one baffled and unconvinced." Posted Jun 6, 2008
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 50%	Battle in Seattle (2008)	" What began as an insightful study of how things went so horribly wrong at this event becomes yet another saccharine drama about fighting the power." Posted Jan 18, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 50%	Penelope (2008)	" The most successful films in this genre rely heavily on production design, but unfortunately director Palansky decides to play it fairly straight here. Luckily, the film has an interesting story, for which all credit should go to writer Leslie Caveny." Posted Jan 18, 2008
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 54%	Intimate Enemies (2009)	" Truly unforgettable and revelatory, L'Ennemi intime presents a rare glimpse into the realities of war in all its gory detail, tempered with a heartbreaking insight into our inescapably frail human consciousness." Posted Sep 22, 2007
Rotten 2.5/5	Fresh 63%	The Man from London (2008)	" *B�la Tarr is not at his best in The Man from London.*" Posted Sep 22, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 77%	The Last Winter (2007)	" Fessenden can�t get a rhythm going in this film to build to his big conclusion, he renders it silly." Posted Sep 21, 2007
Rotten 2.5/5	Fresh 89%	Rescue Dawn (2007)	" The audience receives no new insights into the horrors of war and no answers to its ever-present conundrum." Posted Nov 29, 2006
Rotten 2.5/5	Fresh 64%	Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005)	" While she does have her funny moments, her insensitive persona is simply not interesting enough to warrant a feature film." Posted Nov 11, 2005
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 21%	Dust (2003)	" The two eras presented in this film may display similar violent dispositions but ultimately their overriding sensibilities are just too different to integrate." Posted Aug 31, 2003

Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 41%	Bollywood/Hollywood (2003)	" Mehta expertly fashions a fascinating hybrid that is sure to delight audiences with its good-natured and well-timed humor, and its unabashed refusal to take itself seriously." Posted Dec 16, 2002
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 89%	My Father and I (2002)	" Fontaine indulges her signature style, creating a carefully measured film -- the kind whose impact slowly sneaks up on its audience and haunts them long after leaving the theatre." Posted Jul 2, 2002

Fresh 3/5	Fresh 89%	Ginger Snaps (2001)	" *On its surface, Ginger Snaps* is a werewolf movie, but what's refreshing is the clever satire at its core.**" Posted Jun 5, 2002

Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 50%	Scarlet Diva (2000)	" A pretentious mess." Posted Mar 8, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 60%	Nijinsky: The Diaries of Vaslav Nijinsky (2002)	" A comprehensive and provocative film -- one that pushes the boundaries of biography, and challenges its audience." Posted Feb 1, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 80%	Maelstr�m (2002)	" *Peppering this urban study with references to Norwegian folktales, Villeneuve creates in Maelstrom* a world where the bizarre is credible and the real turns magical.**" Posted Jan 24, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 84%	Kissing Jessica Stein (2002)	" Puts a refreshing and comical spin on the all-too-familiar saga of the contemporary single woman." Posted Jan 10, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 62%	Dark Blue World (2001)	" Sv�r�k once again affirms his status as a master humanist, elegantly evoking a complex range of emotions." Posted Nov 2, 2001
Fresh	Fresh 83%	Pauline and Paulette (2002)	" A charming yet poignant tale of the irrevocable ties that bind." Posted Oct 24, 2001
Rotten	Fresh 72%	Training Day (2001)	" In a film that introduces such potentially powerful situations, its level of predictability and its misuse of its talented cast is simply disappointing." Posted Oct 8, 2001
Fresh	Fresh 70%	Waydowntown (2002)	" A cogent yet hilarious indictment of our soul-destroying urban existence." Posted Jun 7, 2001
Rotten	Fresh 92%	Amores Perros (2001)	" Succumbs to the dangers of such a fractured narrative practice: too much bravado, not enough soul." Posted Mar 7, 2001
