| The Pink Panther 2 (2009) | "
They are joined by other typically good actors such as Jean Reno, Jeremy Irons, Lily Tomlin and Alfred Molina. Unfortunately, they're underused." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Feb 6, 2009 |

| Bolt (2008) | "
Whenever a new kids' film comes out, there's always the hope that it'll work for adults, too. Alas, not this time. But the kids will probably like it." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Nov 21, 2008 |

| When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008) | "
When it comes down to it, the story of a son who needs validation and his dying father is utterly predictable." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jun 26, 2008 |

Semi-Pro is the perfect name for this movie, because it feels like a half-baked comedy made by semi-professionals." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Feb 28, 2008 |
