I Am Legend (2007) |

Josh Larsen |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
I'm Not There (2007) |
"...may not get any closer to the 'truth' than a conventional biopic would, but at least the movie snubs conventional formula in favor of its own, folk-rock-gospel rhythm." |
Josh Larsen |
Splat 2/4 |
I, Robot (2004) |
"...a Will Smith cop picture with the slight novelty of having robots as perps." |
Josh Larsen |
Splat 2/4 |
Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) |

The Illusionist (2006) |

In the Land of Women (2007) |
