Rotten 2.5/4	Fresh 89%	Séraphine (2008)	" Rather painterly and a bit distant. It never digs into the messiest of either the artist's or her patron's lives." Posted Jul 17, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 47%	The Girl From Monaco (2009)	" The film doesn't add up to much in the end, but if you like leggy, flirty blondes, dark, brooding tough-guy bodyguards and fussy middle-aged lawyers, it's entertaining." Posted Jul 17, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 86%	Youssou N'Dour: I Bring What I Love (2009)	" When the music starts playing, it's easy to forgive the film's flaws." Posted Jul 17, 2009
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 55%	Surveillance (2009)	" Its dark weirdness turns it into a surreal blur." Posted Jun 26, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 92%	The Lemon Tree (2008)	" The film, though, belongs to the two women. Lipaz-Michael gives Mira a degree of empathy that's important to the film, while Abbass -- is a striking and formidable presence as Salma." Posted May 1, 2009
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 11%	The Mysteries of Pittsburgh (2009)	" Michael Barrett's cinematography gives the film and the city of Pittsburgh just enough of a picturesque dream-like quality that, like its protagonist, you'll remember." Posted Apr 17, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 48%	Donkey Punch (2009)	" *Had they invested more into the characters, Donkey Punch* might have been worth noting.**" Posted Jan 23, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 35%	The Lucky Ones (2008)	" As entertainment, the film works sporadically, though Burger never finds a rhythm." Posted Sep 26, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 93%	Tell No One (2008)	" *Even when Tell No One's* story gets a bit too convoluted for its own good, the cinematography, the acting and especially the action will keep you glued to the screen.**" Posted Jul 1, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 9%	Red Roses and Petrol (2008)	" With her static camera, director and co-writer Tamar Simon Hoffs has done little to move it out of its staginess." Posted Jun 27, 2008
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 36%	You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008)	" Zohan skirts any real issues, but maybe crass and messy is more reflective of the times and situation." Posted Jun 6, 2008
Rotten 2.5/4	Rotten 27%	Boarding Gate (2007)	" [Assayas] has concocted a plot that is dizzying and annoying at times, and it's hard to care about the characters in the shifting story. But B-movie veteran Argento's portrayal of Sandra is like watching a car careening down an incline." Posted Mar 28, 2008
Fresh 3.5/4	Rotten 58%	First Snow (2007)	" A small film with Hitchcock-ian overtones, but it's got a strong pulse and keeps you wondering beyond its end." Posted Mar 23, 2007
Rotten 2/4	Fresh 68%	The Chorus (2005)	" An unexceptional if inoffensive movie with some lovely music." Posted Dec 21, 2004
Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 29%	Flight of the Phoenix (2004)	" What drove the original was the clash of personalities, but here, when all you have is a just lot of sand, things get pretty dry pretty fast." Posted Dec 17, 2004
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 96%	The Agronomist (2004)	" A powerful look at two tragedies -- the death of a courageous and inspirational man and the unfortunate land that he loved." Posted Apr 23, 2004
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 11%	Timeline (2003)	" *It's not as bad as Sphere* but...**" Posted Nov 26, 2003
Rotten	Rotten 0%	Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)	" *Comic-book logic in action movies has seemingly given way to video-game logic which is almost no logic at all and spooling out Ballistic's* inane, convoluted plot is a waste of time.**" Posted Sep 20, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 97%	Amadeus (1984)	" *Even a longer Amadeus* feels and looks just right.**" Posted Apr 5, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 90%	Iron Monkey (1993)	" While all the actors are quite engaging, the real star of the film is Yuen Wo Ping's action sequences." Posted Oct 11, 2001
Rotten	Rotten 52%	Rock Star (2001)	" By-the-numbers direction from Stephen Herek ... and a script by John Stockwell that's too intent on making everything fit neatly together rather than reaching for any truth, combine to undermine the film." Posted Sep 7, 2001
