Splat
1.5/4

10,000 B.C. (2008)

"A blind man is brought up on a slab from beneath the earth, where he has spent years cooped up in cramped quarters with nothing to keep him entertained. After spending two hours in a darkened theater watching 10,000 B.C., I could relate."

Matt Brunson

Splat
2/4

The 11th Hour (2007)

"As a PSA, The 11th Hour is an extremely important work, but as a motion picture, it's ripe for recycling."

Matt Brunson

Tomato
3/4

13 Going on 30 (2004)

"The versatile star of Alias is irresistible here."

Matt Brunson

Tomato
2.5/4

1408 (2007)

"On balance, 1408 runs the numbers better than most."

Matt Brunson

Tomato
3/4

16 Blocks (2006)

"Works as a throwback to the "B" flicks of yore, when an unflagging pace, a few dollops of humor and a couple of sharply etched characterizations were enough to justify a matinee ticket."

Matt Brunson

Splat
2/4

17 Again (2009)

"Efron's appealing within the confines of his limited range, but like the film itself, a severe case of blandness puts a lid on any breakout potential."

Matt Brunson

Tomato
3/5

1941 (1979)

3.5/4

2 Days In Paris (2007)

"A vanity project? Hardly; more like the work of an accomplished filmmaker who knew exactly what type of movie she wanted to make."

Matt Brunson

Splat
1.5/4

2012 (2009)

"The latest end-of-the-world effort from director Roland Emmerich, who there but for the grace of God goes Michael Bay."

Matt Brunson

Tomato
3/4

21 (2008)

"Manages to make the act of counting cards seem as exciting as this past winter's Super Bowl -- and as perilous as climbing Mount Everest with both eyes closed."

Matt Brunson

Tomato
3.5/4

21 Grams (2003)

"An absorbing drama that's as much about loneliness, retribution and redemption as it is about matters of the (literal) heart."

Matt Brunson

Tomato
3/4

25th Hour (2002)

"Lee's in-your-face style of guerilla filmmaking can be off-putting to many... but he's clearly a man who isn't afraid to express his convictions."

Matt Brunson

Splat
2/4

27 Dresses (2008)

"The filmic equivalent of a baby: cute, pampered, craving attention, and somewhat smelly thanks to all the formula passing through it."

Matt Brunson

Tomato
3/4

28 Weeks Later (2007)

"Moviegoers can take or leave the message beneath the mayhem, but what's on the surface for everyone to enjoy is an expertly crafted terror tale that's heavy on the jolts."

Matt Brunson

Tomato
3.5/4

3 Women (1977)

"[Altman] pushed even harder against the envelope and in the process created a highly unusual and wholly original picture."

Matt Brunson

Tomato
3/4

30 Years to Life (2002)

"Don't let the title fool you into dismissing this as another Steven Seagal action snooze."

Matt Brunson

Splat
2.5/4

300 (2007)

"Depersonalizes the major players to such a degree that one ends up feeling more sympathy for the shields that end up receiving the brunt of the sword blows and arrow piercings."

Matt Brunson

Tomato
3/4

3:10 to Yuma (2007)

"It's respectful of its predecessor, and when it does make changes to the existing template, they aren't preposterous or pandering -- rather, they merely take another logical path than the one employed in the previous version."

Matt Brunson

Tomato
2.5/4

50 First Dates (2004)

"The picture still charms, but it has to work overtime to do so."

Matt Brunson

Tomato
3.5/4

500 Days of Summer (2009)

"The beauty of this utterly winning picture is that it doesn't live in a generational vacuum: Like the best films of its kind, its tale of young love (and all the accompanying trials and tribulations) will speak to all ages."

Matt Brunson

Tomato
3/4

8 Mile (2002)

"That the final rap battle feels so electrifying rather than merely coming across as the usual rah-rah climax taps directly into the energy emanating from Eminem as he gives his character a real presence."

Matt Brunson

Splat
2.5/4

8 Women (2002)

"How much viewers enjoy this depends on to what extent they're able to focus on the shining stars at the center while ignoring the narrative debris surrounding them."

Matt Brunson

Splat
1.5/4

88 Minutes (2008)

"It's usually fun when a murder-mystery offers several suspects, but this goes beyond serving up a few red herrings; here, we get trout, tilapia and mahi mahi as well."

Matt Brunson

Splat
2.5/4

9 (2009)

"Undermined by a pedestrian end-of-the-world storyline and by characters with zero personality."

Matt Brunson
