Tomato
2.5/4

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

"'Give Peace a Chance' is hardly Lennon's best song, but heard again in the context of the war in Iraq, both the song and the Lennon-Ono Christmas billboards that proclaimed 'War Is Over (If You Want It)' seem more necessary than naive."

John Beifuss

Splat
0.5/4

Ultraviolet (2006)

"The adventures of Catwoman, Elektra, Lara Croft and Aeon Flux were positively Homeric compared to this simple-minded Hi-Def tedium..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
2.5/4

The Unborn (2009)

"Like some Stephen King rewrite of 'The Reader,' this laughable but interesting movie traces its characters' distress to the Holocaust: Never forget, because 'Jumby wants to be born!'"

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

Under the Same Moon (2008)

"What's stuck with me aren't the film's flaws but the success of its mission: It puts a real human face -- many human faces, in fact -- on a problem that many politicians would prefer to represent with a racist caricature."

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

Underdog (2007)

"An underachiever."

John Beifuss

Splat
2.5/4

Underworld: Evolution (2006)

"An impressive bat-winged vampire king, Kate Beckinsale in skintight pleather, complicated but simpleminded plotting, death by helicopter blade, etc."

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009)

"Borrows from 'Romeo and Juliet,' 'The Passion of the Christ' (there are two, count 'em, two gory scourging scenes) and, especially, 'Spartacus'..."

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

The Uninvited (2009)

"Preteen girls looking for slumber-party DVD rentals probably represent the film's ideal audience."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

United 93 (2006)

"Greengrass is so determined not to exploit the deaths by 'entertaining' moviegoers that his film becomes almost an academic exercise -- an experiment to determine at what point deadpan dramatization plus audience anticipation equal emotional devastation."

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

The United States of Leland (2004)

"A melancholy alt-rock soundtrack tells us that wistful regret is the appropriate reaction to almost every scene..."

John Beifuss

Splat
'2.5/4'

Unleashed (2005)

"Somewhat botches a surefire premise, even if Danny the Dog earns his place in the existential petting zoo alongside Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli and George Clinton's Atomic Dog."

John Beifuss

Tomato
'3/4'

The Untold Story of Emmet Louis Till (2005)

"Whatever power Keith Beauchamp's film possesses as a work of art has been superseded by its political impact..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
4/4

Up (2009)

"Has something of the craziness of the classic Donald Duck and Scrooge McDuck comic-book stories created by Carl Barks in the 1940s and '50s..."

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

Up and Down (2005)

"Its many ideas never quite cohere, and it remains an admirable misfire..."

John Beifuss

Splat
2.5/4

The Upside of Anger (2005)

"Allen's great performance eventually is neutered in obeisance to the false notion that fictional characters must go through a redemptive arc for their stories to be of value."

John Beifuss

Splat
2.5/4

Ushpizin (2005)

"At once alien and familiar: part Old World folk tale, part inspirational sitcom."

John Beifuss
