Radio (2003) |
"Please, Hollywood, no more inspiration, particularly if it feels about as authentic as canned laughter." |

Raising Helen (2004) |
"Marshall, who seems to specialize in affability, breaks no new ground and doesn't do much with the old soil he tills." |

Ray (2004) |
"Foxx gives one of the year's best performances, and early talk about an Oscar nomination is entirely justified." |
Robert Denerstein |
Tomato B+ |
Read My Lips (2002) |
"It's erotic, suspenseful and built around two surprising characters. Even better, it doesn't feel like every other thriller we've ever seen." |

Red Dragon (2002) |
"Looking as if he wants to apologize for something, Norton gives a surprisingly flat performance." |

Red Eye (2005) |
"If you can suspend enough disbelief to follow a plot that sacrifices itself on an altar of cheap, end-of-picture thrills, you'll get your money's worth." |
Robert Denerstein |

Red Lights (2004) |
"Psychologically dense and often unnerving, Red Lights takes you into the most dangerous territory of all -- the twisted mind of a man, whose facade crumbles over the course of an evening." |

Reign Over Me (2007) |

Rent (2005) |
"Columbus should be credited for preserving the showstopping vigor of a stage production that was stronger on oomph than on depth." |

Respiro (2003) |
"More a collection of gestures than a fully developed movie, Respiro offers scenery, sun and a volcanic performance from Golino, who bursts with primal energies." |

Resurrecting the Champ (2007) |
"Jackson's performance helps Resurrecting the Champ make its weight, if only by a couple of pounds." |

Tomato A- |
The Return (2004) |
"An enveloping drama in which the camera speaks as eloquently as any dialogue and the performances are grounded in the bedrock of experience." |

Riding Alone For Thousands of Miles (2006) |
"Takakura, a veteran Japanese actor, gives a masterful performance that provides the movie with most of its weight." |
Robert Denerstein |
Tomato B |
Riding Giants (2004) |
"It's difficult to imagine a movie that deals more thoroughly with big-wave surfing, but Riding Giants can't match the novelty and interest of Peralta's 2001 hit, Dogtown and Z-Boys." |

The Ring Two (2005) |
"Familiarity with the material evidently didn't account for much: Nakata's slice of horror proves only intermittently effective." |

The Ringer (2005) |
"If The Ringer doesn't strike comedy gold, it at least manages to score enough points to bring home the bronze." |

Rize (2005) |
"[LaChapelle's] not the world's best documentarian, but he saw something that needed chronicling. So he turned his camera on the krumpers and let them do the rest. Smart choice." |
Robert Denerstein |

The Road to Guantanamo (2006) |
"Offers a gripping rebuke of the way prisoners are treated at Guantanamo, even though it never entirely settles important questions about what the Tipton Three might have been up to." |

Robots (2005) |
"Despite the presence of some finely tooled parts, the new animated feature Robots lumbers under the weight of a story that might have rolled off a Hollywood assembly line." |

Rock School (2005) |
"I don't know what it means that rock 'n' roll has become a bona fide after-school activity, but Rock School definitely kept my attention." |

Roll Bounce (2005) |
"Roll Bounce glides along easily enough, hitting the occasional bump that stems from a script that can't figure out how to blend comedy and drama." |

Rumor Has It... (2005) |
"By its final scenes, Rumor has faded into the haze of comforting mediocrity, and I could no longer tell whether the filmmakers wanted to mock Pasadena or move there." |

Runaway Jury (2003) |
"Runaway Jury serves up intrigue in and out of the courtroom, making use of French Quarter squalor to add to atmosphere, and the actors don't attempt to outdistance the material." |
