Tomato 4/4 |
Banished: How Whites Drove Blacks Out of Town in America (2007) |
"They say The South has changed, but you wouldn't know it from this jaw-dropping shocker you have to see to be believe." |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 8/10 |
Biggie and Tupac (2002) |
"Broomfield has taken this intriguing and sad tale, and made a compelling film that should be of interest to nearly anyone, regardless of his or her interest in rap music." |
Josh Ralske |
Tomato 4/4 |
Cloverfield (2008) |
"Reminiscent of The Blair Witch Project, this cleverly-conceived scream fest was shot entirely with a shaky hand-held camera being operated by one of the film's central characters." |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 4/4 |
Crazy Love (2007) |
"A fascinating flick for anyone looking for a new reason to hate lawyers." |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 4/4 |
Descent (2007) |
"Rosario Dawson exhibits a previously unseen range, here, more than meeting the challenge of the most emotionally-demanding role of her career." |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 2/4 |
Dirty Laundry (2007) |
"Even though homophobia may be more of a hurdle in the 'hood than Hollywood, this ensemble's supportive response to Sheldon's revealing his sexual preference proves to be a surprisingly sweet way to close out this well-meaning message movie." |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hot Fuzz (2007) |
"Dispassionate dispatching of humans as cinematic road kill. Bloody funny bloodletting, if that's your thing." |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Incredible Hulk (2008) |
"Can anybody smell the franchise that Marvel is cooking?" |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 4/4 |
Knocked Up (2007) |
"A hilarious family values flick which manages to convince you that it's possible to transform a misogynist into a doting father on the guilt of an unplanned pregnancy." |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 4/4 |
L'Iceberg (2005) |
"A charming slapstick comedy which explores a variety of themes including love, loyalty, friendship and one's relationship with oneself before delivering at a heartwarming message that maybe there's no place like home after all." |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 4/4 |
My Best Friend (2007) |
"A satisfying, cinematic masterpiece with an invaluable message about the meaning of real relating." |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
My Brother (2007) |
"Seeing a ghetto-based drama revolving around black males not behaving like amoral gangstas or clownish buffoons is a welcome change of pace, plus there's the bonus of Vanessa Williams exhibiting an emotional range unseen in any of her previous work." |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ocean's Thirteen (2007) |
"Upping the ante in terms of intrigue while toning it down in terms of action, this downright comfortable diversion is a relatively-cerebral affair which offers an absorbing alternative to the summer blockbusters of the over-stimulating, special effects-dr" |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 4/4 |
Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |
"Though not for the squeamish or fans of Fascism, this morbidly bewitching fantasy is an enchanting, escapist fairy tale, even if one designed strictly with adults in mind." |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 4/4 |
Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman (2007) |
"An empathetic portrait of a complicated figure, chronicling the mounting toll which his work in the gallows gradually took on his psyche and private life." |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Severance (2007) |
"A comical cautionary tale which ought to trigger a little paranoia in the souls of any advocates of the Military-Industrial Complex." |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Trials of Darryl Hunt (2007) |
"A disturbing bio-pic chronicling a mammoth miscarriage of justice which can only be explained as resulting from deep-seated racism. Despite its feelgood resolution, the film offers little in the way of reassurances that this will never happen again." |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 4/4 |
U-Carmen (2007) |
"Set in locales ostensibly picked without concern for cinematic pretense, this crowd-pleaser conveys a sense of everyday life in South Africa while simultaneously serving up an endearing variation of a magical opera for the ages. Bravo!" |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 4/4 |
Ugly Betty - The Complete First Season (2006) |
"There's hope for humanity, afterall, when a sitcom like this which recognizes inner beauty is a big hit." |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Unconscious (2007) |
"Everything you always wanted to know about sex, and then some. A bawdy, early Woody Allen-esque slapstick comedy!" |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 4/4 |
We Are Marshall (2006) |
"Bittersweet football flick less concerned with gridiron feats than with how members of a tight-knit community deal with their grief in the wake of a disaster." |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 4/4 |
Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland (2008) |
"Comedy with a social conscious. How refreshing." |
Kam Williams |
Tomato 4/4 |
Zathura (2005) |
"A practically-perfect family flick which delivers a big lesson about the true meaning of brotherly love." |
Kam Williams |
Splat 1.5/4 |
In the Valley of Elah (2007) |
"Postwar is hell!" |
Kam Williams |
Splat 0/4 |
The Salon (2005) |
"Bottoms-out with this bit of dialogue: 'If you're going to be a ho, be an ambitious ho. Work uptown.' What unfortunate timing, given the whole Don Imus controversy. Life's simply too short for slur-ploitation with such lamentably low standards." |

American Gangster (2007) |
"Since nothing is more meta-typically American than a graphic gangster saga, it comes as no surprise that the story of Frank Lucas' rise and fall would find its way to celluloid." |
