Fresh 3/4	Rotten 41%	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	" On-location exteriors throughout the English countryside, elaborate costumes, and colorful sets overrun with tapestries, mounds of food and large sporting hounds make this one of the most authentic-looking period films in recent years." Posted Feb 29, 2008
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 31%	Martian Child (2007)	" John Cusack, Coleman and the rest of the talented crew on screen reach moments of authenticity that are thrilling." Posted Nov 1, 2007
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 51%	Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)	" Atkinson's physical comedy is so finely honed that there are moments when his timing is almost balletic, lifting the predictable story to sublime heights." Posted Aug 23, 2007
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 66%	Miss Potter (2006)	" Portraying a real-life hero can be a tough assignment. But Zellweger breezes through the role, flashing her puckish grin, talking in her soft, breathy voice and giving very human face to one of the most beloved figures of English letters." Posted Jun 1, 2007
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 25%	A Good Year (2006)	" Movies with predictable arcs rise or fall on their cinematic moments. Fortunately, there are several in A Good Year." Posted Nov 10, 2006
Fresh 3.5/4	N/A	Perhaps Love (2006)	" If you're willing to last through the first 20 minutes -- when almost nothing makes sense -- you'll find yourself sucked into one of the most astonishing and original films in recent years." Posted Oct 27, 2006
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 7%	Conversations with God (2006)	" For those of us who want to know who this guy really is, what he's about, where he came from, the film is as vague as the voice Walsch hears." Posted Oct 27, 2006
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 78%	House of Sand (2005)	" The thrill of seeing this movie is in the realization that we've seen nothing like it before." Posted Sep 14, 2006
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 22%	The Quiet (2006)	" The direction by Jamie Babbit, a young filmmaker who has done mostly television dramas, is sure and close in a modern noir way." Posted Aug 31, 2006
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 87%	Sophie Scholl: The Final Days (2005)	" The narrative is tight and compelling, claustrophobic in scope, with acting performances that chill in their understated anxiety and courage." Posted May 12, 2006
Rotten 1/4	Rotten 31%	The Libertine (2005)	" This is an irritatingly unsatisfying and unappetizing profile." Posted Mar 9, 2006
Rotten 2.5/4	Rotten 51%	White Countess (2005)	" Often leaves us unmoved." Posted Jan 28, 2006
Rotten 2.5/4	Rotten 33%	Tristan & Isolde (2006)	" Everything is a little too overdone." Posted Jan 12, 2006
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 85%	Pride and Prejudice (2005)	" *This Pride* has more going for it than that 1940 confection, but neither is it the definitive screen version of Austen's venerable love story.**" Posted Nov 10, 2005
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 36%	Chicken Little (2005)	" It loses some of its emotional punch as the plot complications pile up." Posted Nov 4, 2005
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 59%	Oliver Twist (2005)	" *Beauty and hateful ugliness meet in extraordinary harmony in Roman Polanski's Oliver Twist,* fitting for a story that is a study in obvious contrasts.**" Posted Sep 30, 2005
Rotten 2.5/4	Rotten 31%	Valiant (2005)	" Valiant is a movie that is trying to be an homage but winds up a pale imitation." Posted Aug 19, 2005
Rotten 2.5/4	Rotten 10%	House of D (2005)	" House of D wears its classic story like a fine suit, but it teeters on the clich�, occasionally falling into the rut of the predictable." Posted Apr 28, 2005
Fresh 3.5/4	Fresh 84%	Gloomy Sunday (2003)	" It's a cracking good yarn, well-told and impeccably acted, especially by Kr�l." Posted Apr 14, 2005
Rotten 2.5/4	Fresh 66%	Bride and Prejudice (2005)	" Doesn't quite do justice to Austen, despite its attempt to pay her homage." Posted Feb 24, 2005
Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 7%	Son of the Mask (2005)	" To heck with suspense, I'll just tell you right now: Jamie Kennedy is no Jim Carrey." Posted Feb 17, 2005
Rotten 2/4	Fresh 69%	The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (2004)	" Fans of the show may miss several recurring characters, including Bob's pet snail Gary, which are mostly no-shows. And the college crowd may be disappointed in the relatively sparse number of pop-culture allusions." Posted Nov 18, 2004
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 55%	Home on the Range (2004)	" Watch your young 'un stay glued to the screen for the length of the picture, and you'll need no further proof of the value of a well-paced plot written in language children understand." Posted Apr 1, 2004
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 23%	Cheaper by the Dozen (2003)	" Good performances keep the movie from collapsing under the weight of its cliches." Posted Dec 25, 2003
Rotten 1/4	Rotten 56%	Looney Tunes - Back in Action (2003)	" This is a mere industrial product, with borrowings from other films and cartoons tossed in without thought as to whether they belong there." Posted Nov 13, 2003
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 46%	Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003)	" The dialogue isn't up to the promising animation; at times, it is unforgivable." Posted Jul 1, 2003
Rotten 2.5/4	Rotten 40%	Rugrats Go Wild (2003)	" Alternates between a zippy, jet-ski pace and plodding plot set-ups." Posted Jun 13, 2003
Fresh 2.5/4	Fresh 72%	Piglet's Big Movie (2003)	" *A better narrative than Tigger, and more faithful to the original stories, with deeper, more meaningful themes.*" Posted Mar 20, 2003
