Tomato
3/4

$9.99 (2009)

"[Director] Rosenthal gives the entire production a lovely, fine-art look, and a real feeling that we're looking at life as it's lived -- even if there are angels involved, and everyone is made of modeling clay."

Stephen Whitty

Splat
2.5/4

10 Items or Less (2006)

"[Brad Silberling is] Frank Capra without the edge."

Stephen Whitty

Splat
1/4

10,000 B.C. (2008)

"Yabba-dabba-don't."

Stephen Whitty

Splat
1/4

10th & Wolf (2006)

"A mix of the first half of Donnie Brasco, the last 20 minutes of A History of Violence and a couple of episodes of I Love the'90s."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato
2.5/4

12 and Holding (2006)

"Honest acting and balanced writing create a realistic snapshot of adolescent angst."

Lisa Rose

Tomato

13 Going on 30 (2004)

"Frothier than the sweetest drink at Starbuck's and deft in the slapstick department, the actress turns a generic female version of Big into a raucously charming teen fairy tale."

Lisa Rose

Tomato
3/4

13 Tzameti (2006)

"You can almost smell the nervous sweat running down these men's backs. You can almost feel the damp."

Stephen Whitty

Splat
2/4

1408 (2007)

"There's ghoulish fun and Hichcockian suspense until the film hits a narrative wall around the 60-minute mark."

Lisa Rose

Splat
1.5/4

16 Blocks (2006)

"Getting anywhere in New York gridlock can take forever, especially when you're following Bruce Willis in a cookie-cutter action thriller."

Lisa Rose

Splat
1.5/4

17 Again (2009)

"Can't we just watch Freaky Friday again? Really, I'd take either version at this point."

Stephen Whitty

Splat
2/4

2012 (2009)

"Actors say silly lines with deadly seriousness. Exposition is wielded like a sledgehammer. All you can do is grit your teeth and wait for the next wave of destruction."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato
3.5/4

2046 (2005)

"If only the movie's pace were a little quicker, its compositions a little less studied -- and those sci-fi interruptions simply missing -- 2046 would be perfect."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato
3.5/4

21 (2008)

"This is really Spacey's picture, from the moment he fixes his gaze on Sturgess to the day when he finally, brutally cuts him loose. It's a fun performance, but a quiet one."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato

21 Grams (2003)

"A good movie which just misses being great."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato

28 Days Later (2003)

"108 bloody, B-movie minutes you're not likely to soon forget."

Stephen Whitty

Splat
2/4

28 Weeks Later (2007)

"Like the first movie, it has a few ideas -- a few too many, perhaps. But new director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo is so determined to keep up the pace he explores them even less than Boyle did."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato
3/4

3 Extremes (2005)

"Evokes a queasy fascination."

Stephen Whitty

Splat

30 Days of Night (2007)

"Whatever power the original comic had, this film adaptation lost it in translation."

Steven Boone

Splat
2/4

300 (2007)

"History is inconveniently complex. And so we get Frank Miller's version, in which everything is simplified to the point of porridge."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato
3/4

The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)

"Carell brings something funny, and oddly real to Andy -- a touch of embarrassment, a bit of self-loathing, a genuinely sweet concern."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato

50 First Dates (2004)

"50 First Dates is reasonably good fluff, balancing lovey sentiment and low-brow laughs, though it will likely evaporate from memory as quickly as Lucy forgets her meetings with Henry."

Lisa Rose

Tomato
3.5/4

500 Days of Summer (2009)

"Even if (500) Days of Summer isn't truly great, it is great fun, from its fresh view of Los Angeles to its use of music to its charming leads."

Stephen Whitty

Splat
2/4

88 Minutes (2008)

"When the doubting-cop character in a movie like this asks the hero 'Do you have any idea how absurd that sounds?' -- well, he's really voicing the screenwriter's own darkest fears."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato
3/4

9 (2009)

"As a late-summer treat for adults with a childlike sense of wonder -- or older children with a grown-up sense of adventure -- 9 is a definite 8 out of 10."

Stephen Whitty

Splat
1/4

9 Songs (2005)

"There's no greater point to this footage, no connection to the characters or the theme; just top bands playing great songs. It looks like a collection of music videos, just as the rest of the film looks like a connection of porn loops."

Stephen Whitty
