Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date (default)

Fresh	Fresh 88%	Inglourious Basterds (2009)	" *Energetic, inventive, swaggering fun, Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds* is a consummate Hollywood entertainment -- rich in fantasy and blithely amoral.*" — Village Voice* Posted Aug 18, 2009
—	Fresh 75%	I'm Gonna Explode (2009)	Click here to read article — Village Voice Posted Aug 12, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 75%	I'm Gonna Explode (2009)	" I'm Gonna Explode dramatizes even as it demonstrates the maxim that you can't go home again." — Village Voice Posted Aug 11, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 100%	In a Lonely Place (1950)	" The grayest, most morally ambiguous of film noirs -- and arguably the most self-reflexive." — Village Voice Posted Jul 15, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 14%	The Informers (2009)	" There's plenty of incident, but not much plot. As befits a tale of absolute self-absorption and unconscious revelation, The Informers often seems to be telling on itself." — Village Voice Posted Apr 22, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 82%	In the City of Sylvia (2008)	" Pure pleasure and pure cinema." — Village Voice Posted Dec 9, 2008
Fresh	N/A	In the Fields of Dreams (1940)	" The default Tulio opening montage (sylvan stream, blooming lilies, grazing farm animals, summer!) is subsumed by images of surging waters and the master's onrushing team of horses." — Village Voice Posted Oct 29, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 88%	I Don't Want To Sleep Alone (2007)	" Albeit closer to ballet than drama, this urban nocturne is one of Tsai's most beautiful and naturalistic films -- at least in terms of its rich, humid, almost viscous ambience." — Village Voice Posted May 8, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 71%	Inland Empire (2006)	" It's an experience. Either you give yourself over to it or you don't. And if you do, don't miss the end credits." — Village Voice Posted Dec 5, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 97%	Iron Island (2006)	" Depending on one's mood, the movie might seem boldly simplified and poetic -- or boringly simpleminded and prosaic." — Village Voice Posted Mar 28, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 86%	Inside Man (2006)	" This enjoyable exercise in popcorn pyrotechnics demonstrates that Lee can be relied on to attack the clich�s set before him with gusto." — Village Voice Posted Mar 21, 2006
Fresh	Rotten 45%	The Ice Harvest (2005)	" Funny, tense, and exceedingly well made ..." — Village Voice Posted Nov 23, 2005
Fresh	Fresh 86%	The Ister (2004)	" The headiest, head-scratching-est, damnedest, most demanding movie opening this week in New York." — Village Voice Posted Oct 22, 2005
Fresh	Rotten 58%	The Interpreter (2005)	" [A] reasonably effective and old-school geopolitical thriller." — Village Voice Posted Apr 19, 2005
Fresh	Fresh 82%	Inside Deep Throat (2005)	" Beneath these cartoon floats marches a parade of greedy goodfellas, scheming exhibitors, idiot politicians, swanning celebs, and frothing religious fundamentalists." — Village Voice Posted Feb 8, 2005
Fresh	Fresh 62%	I Heart Huckabees (2004)	" A sort of static whirligig -- too heavy to soar but too light to ever fall flat." — Village Voice Posted Sep 21, 2004
Rotten	Fresh 94%	Imelda (2004)	" *'When they went to my closet they found shoes, not skeletons,' Mrs. M tells Diaz. Entertaining as it is, Imelda* seems all too willing to take her at her word.*" — Village Voice* Posted Jun 8, 2004
Fresh	Fresh 100%	I Vitelloni (1953)	" Moving from caf�s to poolrooms to movie theaters, it's the prototypical male ensemble film." — Village Voice Posted Nov 11, 2003
Rotten	Rotten 33%	In the Cut (2003)	" It's a throwback to the New York policiers of the Koch era, yet wacky enough to suggest a procedural in the Land of Oz." — Village Voice Posted Oct 21, 2003
Rotten	Rotten 55%	Irreversible (2003)	" No�'s stunt is an exploitation movie with a gimmick, not to mention a vacuous philosophy." — Village Voice Posted Mar 4, 2003
Fresh	Fresh 94%	In the Mirror of Maya Deren (2003)	" A well-wrought introduction not just to Deren but an under-leveraged chunk of the art world." — Village Voice Posted Jan 21, 2003
Fresh	Rotten 51%	In Praise of Love (2001)	" There's a narrative -- and an argument -- here, but what's moving first, and also finally, is the movie's mournful celebration of its sensuous being." — Village Voice Posted Sep 3, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 96%	I'm Going Home (2002)	" Escaping the studio, Piccoli is warmly affecting and so is this adroitly minimalist movie." — Village Voice Posted Aug 13, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 88%	Italian for Beginners (2002)	" A funny, relationship-driven ensemble piece that takes the chill out of the Danish winter with a snuggly blanket of humanism." — Village Voice Posted Jan 15, 2002
Rotten	Fresh 65%	Intimacy (2001)	" Searching for closure, the movie lurches from one unconvincing emotional confrontation to the next." — Village Voice Posted Oct 16, 2001
Rotten	Fresh 94%	In the Bedroom (2001)	" *Field's leisurely buildup forestalls but doesn't prevent his movie's mutation into a granola Death Wish." — Village Voice* Posted Aug 17, 2001
—	Fresh 83%	I Stand Alone (1998)	Click here to read article — Village Voice Posted Apr 3, 2001
Fresh	Rotten 30%	I Woke Up Early the Day I Died (1998)	" Wood's bargain-basement aesthetic is impossible to parody. That this mime show works better than it should is, in a sense, the ultimate dis." — Village Voice Posted Apr 3, 2001
Fresh	Fresh 88%	In the Mood for Love (2001)	" Governed by laws as strict as the old Hollywood production code, it's rhapsodically sublimated and ultimately sublime." — Village Voice Posted Jan 31, 2001

Fresh	Fresh 95%	The Insider (1999)	" *At 155 minutes, The Insider* may be pumped-up, but it's rarely boring.*" — Village Voice* Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh	Fresh 97%	The Iron Giant (1999)	" *Remarkably unassuming, genuinely playful, and superbly executed, The Iron Giant* towers over the cartoon landscape.*" — Village Voice* Posted Jan 1, 2000
