Tomato
4/5

The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006)

"It serves as a primer for what Lennon was and what he believed and what he did."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

U2 3D (2008)

"Represents what is far and away the most impressive use of 3-D I've ever seen."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

The Ugly Truth (2009)

"There's this thing the studio publicists insist on calling 'an unexpected result.' It's the sort of unexpected result that happens when Christmas falls on December 25."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

UHF (1989)

"Watchably amusing, nothing more."

Ken Hanke

Splat
3/5

The Ultimate Gift (2007)

"A nice little movie that I'm not sorry I saw, but would never see a second time."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2.5/5

Ultraviolet (2006)

"Overall, it's a film that can best be thought of as the work of a more cerebral Uwe Boll."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Umberto D. (1952)

"One of the truly great Italian neo-realist films"

Ken Hanke

Splat
2.5/5

The Unborn (2009)

"The film's raison d'être is a series of shock effects involving creepy kids, dogs with upside-down heads and a CGI-powered geriatric variant on Linda Blair's crab walk."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Uncle Buck (1989)

"John Candy, John Hughes, precocious kids. Deadly."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

The Undead (1957)

"Not good, but so strange it's mesmerizing."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Under Suspicion (1991)

"Fair mystery with interesting locations familiar to fans of The Prisoner."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Under the Cherry Moon (1986)

"Great looking, strange, not very effective, but an interesting effort"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

Under the Same Moon (2008)

"Thoroughly watchable with flashes of inspired filmmaking, and it has a sincerity that, even when wrong headed, cannot be denied."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

Under the Tuscan Sun (2003)

"Wells' true gift as a writer and a director is her uncanny ability to be warm without toppling over into the warm and fuzzy, and that's a rare gift."

Ken Hanke

Splat
.5/5

Underclassman (2005)

"With movies like this is it a wonder that all theaters have lacked for most of the summer was the occasional tumbleweed to complete the illusion of their being ghost towns?"

Ken Hanke

Splat

Undercover Brother (2002)

"Eddie Griffin, who was so much better than the films that encased him with John Q and The New Guy, is certainly likable enough here, but he rarely lets loose with the kind of manic talent he evidenced in those supporting roles."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

Underdog (2007)

"Exactly the movie you'd expect from the director of Racing Stripes and the writer of Zoom."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Underworld (2003)

"I, for one, am ready for a return to werewolves who walk on two legs and wear pants."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Underworld: Evolution (2006)

"Mind numbingly boring. I'm still awaiting the return of werewolves in trousers -- like Lon Chaney Jr. and Henry Hull."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009)

"The movie isn't without its entertainment value -- of the sillier kind, which in the cases of Michael Sheen and Bill Nighy may be intentional."

Ken Hanke

Splat
.5/5

Undiscovered (2005)

"Bottom line: I get paid to sit through this kind of rubbish. You don't."

Ken Hanke

Splat

Unfaithful (2002)

"It may not be quite as loony as Fatal Attraction (a.k.a. Bunny in the Pot), but it's very much cut from the same cautionary-tale cloth and done up in the same strained artsy style"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Unfaithfully Yours (1948)

"It's as close as you're likely to get to a perfect movie."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

Unfaithfully Yours (1984)

"Pointless, charmless remake of the Preston Sturges classic."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

An Unfinished Life (2005)

"The film travels pretty much to exactly where you expect it to go. But sometimes that's what you want."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

The Uninvited (1944)

"Brilliant! One of the greatest of all ghost stories."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

The Uninvited (2009)

"I guess the titles The Uninspired and The Uninvolving were considered too honest."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

United 93 (2006)

"The material itself makes it seem less like an attempt at examination, understanding or some kind of closure than like picking at an unhealed wound and reopening it."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

The Unknown (1927)

"It may not be Browning's best silent film, but it is certainly his most fascinatingly perverse -- and that's saying something in the world of Tod Browning."

Ken Hanke

Splat
3/5

Unleashed (2005)

"The film's apparent belief that it's more than a tarted-up action flick is even more ludicrous than the story. "

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

An Unmarried Woman (1978)

"Tries so hard to be so sensitive that it starts to unravel."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1964)

"There's a reason why Charles Walters' musicals are less remembered than Stanley Donen's."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

Until the End of the World (1991)

"A bit lumpy (with so much left on the cutting room floor, that was probably inescapable), but it's the kind of glorious lumpiness that only comes from a great filmmaker."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

Untraceable (2008)

"Untraceable? You'll only wish it was."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Up (2009)

"If it sounds like I can't find anything in Up to be curmudgeonly about, that's because I really can't."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Up in Mabel's Room (1944)

"Pretty funny farce not much seen these days."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

Up in the Air (2009)

"At the center of it all, is George Clooney in the role he seems born to have played -- a role he's lived himself into."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

The Upside of Anger (2005)

"Not a bad movie -- and worth seeing for Costner's and Allen's performances -- but I'm inclined to think that ultimately its intentions are less than honest."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

Uptown Girls (2003)

"A reworking of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? with Fanning in the Davis role and, say, Emily Osment in the Crawford one might be a smart bet for some forward-thinking producer."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Used Cars (1980)

"It's better than most Zemeckis movies -- for what that's worth."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

The Usual Suspects (1995)

"Good, but...movies don't come more overrated."

Ken Hanke
