Fresh 4/5	Fresh 83%	Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)	" Soft-spoken, eccentric and just a little sadistic at times, Depp makes for an all-original Wonka, and not a rehash of Wilder�s infamous work." — Sacramento News & Review Posted May 12, 2006

Fresh 4/5	Fresh 85%	Pieces of April (2003)	" While director Hedges deserves high praise, the film's true blessing is the combination of Clarkson and Holmes." — Las Vegas CityLife Posted Nov 19, 2003
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 74%	Secretary (2002)	" A funny and somehow touching treatment of sadomasochistic behavior at the workplace. Spader and Gyllenhaal are fantastic." — Reno News and Review Posted Oct 24, 2002
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 92%	The Kid Stays in the Picture (2002)	" A blessed gift to film geeks and historians. If the '70's were your idea of a good time at the movies, this will make you very happy." — Las Vegas Mercury Posted Sep 4, 2002

Fresh 4/5	Rotten 40%	Reign of Fire (2002)	" *This production seems fully realized unlike other recent effects films, like Men in Black II, that appear sloppy and rushed. The best dragon movie ever made." — Las Vegas Mercury* Posted Jul 11, 2002
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 75%	Run Ronnie Run (2002)	" The creators of Mr. Show bring the hilarious saga of Ronnie Dobbs to the big screen. David Cross and Bob Odenkirk deliver two of the year's funniest performances...as of June, this is the year's best comedy." — Las Vegas Mercury Posted Jun 20, 2002

Fresh 4/5	Fresh 81%	X-Men (2000)	" A superb cast and spotless direction from Bryan Singer make this one a summer must-see, and a film that goes right alongside the first Batman and Superman as genre bests." — Sacramento News & Review Posted Aug 7, 2008
