Rotten 1/4	Rotten 5%	Because I Said So (2007)	" Diane Keaton's dizzy iconoclast shtick was kind of cute, rather endearing, and even a little feminist 30 years ago. Now it's just nails-on-a-chalkboard obnoxious." Posted Feb 2, 2007

Fresh 4/4	Fresh 90%	Shut Up & Sing (2006)	" The film as a whole is less a political document than it is a sensitively detailed backstage portrait of a unique musical phenomenon." Posted Nov 16, 2006
Rotten 2/4	Fresh 69%	Cocaine Cowboys (2006)	" Aiming for encyclopedic coverage of the drug epidemic and its effect on the city, Corben packs much too much into one movie." Posted Nov 3, 2006
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 64%	Sleeping Dogs Lie (2006)	" *The story of a woman who confides in her fianc� that she once gave her dog a blow job, Dogs* had the potential to be a raunchfest, but Goldthwait's take is much more affecting.**" Posted Sep 28, 2006
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 86%	Jesus Camp (2006)	" Evangelism's views on science and politics are so polarizing that almost any viewer, whether Orthodox, agnostic, or atheist, is bound to have an elemental reaction from the first shot of six-year-olds weeping in religious ecstasy." Posted Sep 21, 2006
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 87%	The Ground Truth (2006)	" This film, a raw howl of outrage and pain, is proudly one-sided, allowing a generation of wounded men and women to scream their betrayal." Posted Sep 15, 2006
Fresh 3.5/4	Fresh 74%	Monster House (2006)	" Monster House is crammed to the rafters with the kind of satisfying horror-lite scares that make it a perfect midsummer diversion." Posted Jul 27, 2006
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 76%	Superman Returns (2006)	" This Superman is like nothing you've ever seen before, but it tickles something primitive and comforting at the back of the mind. Gorgeously detailed and meticulously realized, it's a homecoming of a movie." Posted Jun 26, 2006
Fresh	Rotten 56%	Civic Duty (2007)	" Tensely plotted and suffused with an eerie gloom." Posted Jun 12, 2006
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 83%	Akeelah and the Bee (2006)	" *A lovely, touching story, Akeelah* might be too pretty to be believable, but it's transporting nonetheless.**" Posted Jun 3, 2006
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 88%	Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)	" Even though Goblet of Fire clocks in at a robust 157 minutes, Newell handles the massive story with seeming ease, keeping the pace taut and intensifying the pervasive menace that lurked more subtly in the previous films." Posted Dec 27, 2005
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 77%	The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005)	" Sisterhood inhabits a tricky slot -- the subject matter is a little mature for tween audiences, and too glossed over for adults -- but succeeds, due entirely to charismatic Tamblyn and devastating Ferrera." Posted Jun 7, 2005
N/A	Rotten 58%	Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005)	" Who better than two of the world's most obsessed-over sex symbols to play married assassins, each on a mission to kill the other?" Posted Apr 21, 2005
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 73%	The Upside of Anger (2005)	" Admit it: You thought Kevin Costner�s best performances were miles behind him." Posted Apr 5, 2005
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 64%	Coach Carter (2005)	" A sports flick that's a worthy addition to the genre." Posted Jan 18, 2005
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 26%	Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004)	" [Zellweger's] never allowed to be quite as human, quite as pained. She's only allowed to be ridiculous." Posted Nov 16, 2004
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 49%	A Home at the End of the World (2004)	" Mayer, a theater director making his film debut, has a sure hand with the finely calibrated emotions of his ensemble, and the intricately knotted chain of love, dependence, and dissatisfaction that twines them together." Posted Jul 27, 2004
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 89%	Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)	" An adaptation worthy of Rowling's marvelous creation�a chapter that spins the story to ever more thrillingly dark, treacherous heights." Posted Jun 4, 2004
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 55%	Troy (2004)	" Recalls an age when Hollywood not only gambled on but flourished with grandiose epics and casts of thousands, and brings megawatt star power to what is, at root, a brilliantly told story." Posted May 18, 2004
Rotten 1/4	Rotten 12%	New York Minute (2004)	" Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have many millions of dollars... But in New York Minute, despite a lavish budget and one of the most expensive movie sets in the world -- the island of Manhattan -- they can't buy love, talent, or a decent script." Posted May 11, 2004
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 18%	Laws of Attraction (2004)	" Brosnan's effortlessly charming performance, paired with Moore's prickly likeability, makes it a rather attractive proposition, all in all." Posted May 11, 2004
Rotten .5/4	Rotten 55%	Home on the Range (2004)	" *Just about everything that can be wrong with an animated movie is wrong with Home on the Range* . . .**" Posted Apr 5, 2004
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 81%	Hellboy (2004)	" *Thanks to the singular vision of director Guillermo del Toro and Mike Mignola�s gloriously dark source material, Hellboy* is a wicked trip into the fantastic.**" Posted Apr 5, 2004
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 46%	Hidalgo (2004)	" The visual effects are almost seamlessly integrated and very effective, especially in the claustrophobic brutality of the dust storm sequence. It�s brief, but terrifying." Posted Mar 8, 2004
Rotten 1/4	Rotten 2%	Twisted (2004)	" What the hell was Ashley Judd thinking? I�ve seen better at 3 A.M. on Cinemax." Posted Feb 26, 2004
Fresh 4/4	Rotten 44%	50 First Dates (2004)	" . . . a gently silly comedy that�s actually romantic without making anyone sick in the process." Posted Feb 24, 2004
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 23%	Cheaper by the Dozen (2003)	" A combination of clever writing, top-notch comedic leads, winning performances from the youngest Bakers, and a genuine affection for old-fashioned (read: big and loud) families elevates Cheaper above the dreaded kid-movie dreck." Posted Jan 13, 2004
Rotten 2.5/4	Fresh 70%	Something's Gotta Give (2003)	" Wallows in self-referential smugness, deliriously amused with its own cleverness." Posted Dec 16, 2003
Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 20%	Honey (2003)	" Overreaches its niche as a glammed-up music video and can't survive with everything but the kitchen sink crammed in." Posted Dec 16, 2003
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 59%	The Missing (2003)	" A story well-told and built upon the solid foundation of Blanchett�s supremely capable performance." Posted Nov 25, 2003
