2/4

10,000 B.C. (2008)

"'A sweeping odyssey into a mythical age of prophesies and gods,' according to the press notes; it's also a sweeping odyssey into a mythical age in which snow is referred to even by Ice Age veterans as 'the great white rain'..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3.5/4

The 11th Hour (2007)

" It's almost an eco-message companion piece to the recent Iraq documentary, 'No End in Sight': It relies on the strength and logic of its arguments rather than on appeals to emotion or partisanship to make its points."

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

12 (2007)

"After 159 minutes of unlikely if beautifully acted behavior, moviegoers may feel sequestered themselves."

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

1408 (2007)

"Domestic difficulties were central to the scariness of 'The Shining' and 'Pet Sematary,' but here the psychological back story and so-called character development seem like padding."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

2 Days In Paris (2007)

"We're happy to tag along with Delpy and Goldberg, like unacknowledged but not unwelcome friends."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

"A feature-length demolition derby custom-made for members of MADD - Moviegoers with Attention Deficit Disorder."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

2012 (2009)

"The bad news: The world as we know it has come to an end. The good news: Mommy's new boyfriend was squashed in the gears of a giant high-tech ark, so Daddy's back in the picture!"

John Beifuss

Tomato
'3/4'

2046 (2005)

"Wong composes shots as if he were squeezing drops of liquid narcotic into the viewer's eyes."

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

21 (2008)

"The glossiness of director Robert Luketic's staging offers reassurance even when events turn grim, as if Luketic was unable to shake the good-time vibe of his previous films..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

21 Grams (2003)

"Covers much of the same scorching emotional terrain found in a Joan Crawford romantic noir or a Lars von Trier film, but without acknowledging the melodrama at its core..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
2.5/4

27 Dresses (2008)

"Katherine Heigl proves she deserves leading-lady status in this predictable but entertaining romantic comedy..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

28 Days Later (2003)

"Forget viruses and bioterror; the modern world, Boyle suggests, is enough to turn us into 'the Infected'..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3.5/4

28 Weeks Later (2007)

"In its way, it's as convincing a portrait of post-disaster despair as 'Children of Men,' but with zombies."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

30 Days of Night (2007)

"The portrayal of small-town dynamics amid the loneliness of the frozen North is more artful than the frenzied, sloppy, shaky-camera fangwork."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

30 Years to Life (2002)

"Sitcom-ish but lively and amusing ensemble comedy that treats its intelligent, emotionally conflicted characters with respect..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

300 (2007)

"Coming soon to a football camp, police academy, military base, neocon assembly and jihadist cell near you: '300,' a motivational celebration of the 'no retreat, no surrender' ancient Spartans that disdains cut-and-run senators..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3.5/4

3:10 to Yuma (2007)

"Reminded me of what a rare pleasure it has become to watch a straightforward and convincing adult genre film..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
'3/4'

The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)

"A raunchy sex comedy with a sweet 'date movie' center, 'Virgin' is more sustained in both tone and story than the similarly strategized 'Wedding Crashers'..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
2.5/4

50 First Dates (2004)

"Sandler was married last summer, and the project seems to represent the star's ecstatic response to the possibility of lifelong true love..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

500 Days of Summer (2009)

"The lead male character is shy and even gentlemanly, which is not just a novelty but a relief in this Age of Apatow."

John Beifuss

Tomato
'3.5/4'

5X2 (2005)

"The soulful Bruni-Tedeschi gives the impression that her beautiful face is bruised, even though it is blemish free; it's one of the best performances of the year."

John Beifuss

Splat
2.5/4

9 (2009)

"Yet another nightmare post-apocalyptic world is imagined with a wealth of technical brilliance and a dearth of thematic originality..."

John Beifuss
