Tomato
3/4

V For Vendetta (2005)

"At this point, 'V for Vendetta' seems more fashionable than radical."

John Beifuss

Tomato
2.5/4

Vacancy (2007)

"Replicates the horror movie experience by placing its leads in a dark, boxlike room where they are menaced by loud surprise noises and scary images on a screen..."

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

The Valet (2007)

"The movie is so tame you may find your mind wandering toward the casting of the inevitable Hollywood remake. (Jonah Hill as Pignon, perhaps?)"

John Beifuss

Splat
2.5/4

Valkyrie (2008)

"Handsomely mounted but undistinguished..."

John Beifuss

Tomato

The Valley of Gwangi (1969)

"How can a dinosaur fan of any age not love 'Gwangi,' in which the title Allosaurus makes his public debut with the unscheduled addition of a screaming dwarf between his jaws?"

John Beifuss

Splat
3/4

Van Helsing (2004)

"Fans have come to love the likes of 'I Was a Teenage Frankenstein,' so why not have fun with a movie that could have been called 'I Was a Kick-*** Van Helsing'?"

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

Vanity Fair (2004)

"Nair's least persuasive film, in part because Becky has been reimagined as such a modern, proto-feminist heroine that she sometimes seems advanced beyond her environment..."

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

Vantage Point (2008)

"Movies used to boast of being 'torn from the headlines.' Now, they're torn from an electronics catalog. Who needs James Bond's Q when you've got Best Buy?"

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

Venus (2006)

"O'Toole manages to appear mischievous without succumbing to cuteness and formidable without seeming pretentious. He drinks frequently onscreen, as if to inoculate himself against the story's potential for sentiment."

John Beifuss

Tomato
4/4

Vera Drake (2004)

"Vera seems a figure 'stamped from the dough of human suffering with a heart-shaped cookie knife,' to appropriate Nathanael West's phrase."

John Beifuss

Splat
2.5/4

A Very Long Engagement (2004)

"For all their magical and mystical moments, Jeunet's films are suffocatingly literal; his ever-mobile camera leaves no empty spaces for the viewer's imagination to inhabit."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3.5/4

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)

"Allen's camera seems liberated by the sunny locations; the director seems to enjoy Gaudi's architecture almost as much as Johansson's."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

The Visitor (2008)

"Beautifully acted and staged, but at odds with itself: the emphasis is not on the 'visitors' but on the uptight professor, who experiences a spiritual rebirth thanks to the life-affirming presence of his new Third World friends..."

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

Vitus (2007)

"Like a gifted youngster, 'Vitus' doesn't fulfill its potential."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3.5/4

Volver (2006)

"Almodovar treats even the most eccentric of the film's females with compassion, empathy, affection and appreciation. He seems almost to envy them, like a kid who longs to be one of Robin Hood's Merry Men."

John Beifuss
