Tomato
2.5/4

10 Items or Less (2006)

"A ridiculous but cheerful toss-off...amusing and charming."

Peter Canavese

-

10,000 B.C. (2008)

"Roland Emmerich, Steven Strait, & Camilla Belle: [Emmerich:] 'it's a little bit like a time travel...these hunter-gatherer people meet the first farmers meet the high culture.'"

Peter Canavese

Splat
1.5/4

10,000 B.C. (2008)

"Our favorite Teutonic huckster presumes that prehistory means that anything narrative goes: hey, who can prove him wrong?"

Peter Canavese

Tomato
2.5/4

12 and Holding (2006)

"Cipriano and...Cuesta (L.I.E.) show realism, tender regard, and the benefit of the doubt for their young characters, but little of the same to their childish parents."

Peter Canavese

Tomato
4/4

12 Monkeys (1995)

"Gilliam's polarizing style is at its near-best...a dazzling feat of storytelling that bristles with provocative ideas. [Blu-ray]"

Peter Canavese

Splat
2/4

12 Rounds (2009)

"Awfully forgettable, but Harlin makes things go boom again, with ruthless efficiency that puts the flick just over the hump of the straight-to-cable Jeff Speakman school. [Blu-ray]"

Peter Canavese

Tomato
2.5/4

13 Going on 30 (2004)

"Naive as its young heroine, but also as good-natured. [Blu-ray]"

Peter Canavese

Splat
2.5/4

16 Blocks (2006)

"The grabber premise of trying to evade a cordon of enemies to transport a man just 16 blocks runs low on ingenuity at the halfway point, bogging down in a too-familiar hostage standoff."

Peter Canavese

Tomato
3.5/4

2046 (2005)

"Rapturous cinema of the senses...proves once again that nobody does swoony romantic longing, and heartache, like Wong Kar-Wai."

Peter Canavese

Splat
2/4

21 (2008)

"Take it from this loss prevention specialist: don't play 21. [Blu-Ray]"

Peter Canavese

Tomato
3/4

24 - Season 7 (2009)

"In the end, the trashy but entertaining Season Seven will be best remembered for giving the show 'buzz' again. [Blu-ray]"

Peter Canavese

3-Iron (2005)

"Kim Ki-duk on 3-Iron and Career Highlights"

Peter Canavese

Tomato
3/4

3-Iron (2005)

"Kim Ki-duk's happily unhinged drama comfortably occupies the middle ground between his baroque thriller The Isle and his meditative Spring, Summer...."

Peter Canavese

Tomato
3/4

300 (2007)

"Bates furthers his postmodern push to enhance conventional orchestral scoring with the electric energy of rock music."

Peter Canavese

Splat
2.5/4

300 (2007)

"Primally, 300 has a grunting, gut impact...Primarily, it's constructed of fudged history and creative slaughtering, making it a somewhat disturbing American busman's holiday."

Peter Canavese

Tomato
4/4

3:10 to Yuma (2007)

"Two gripping hours so richly realized you won't want them to end."

Peter Canavese

Tomato
3.5/4

4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)

"An historical story of consequence and consequences around an enduringly lively social argument."

Peter Canavese

Tomato
3/4

The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)

"Sweet and raunchy in equal measure, which I suppose makes it the aged-to-perfection version of American Pie."

Peter Canavese

Tomato
4/4

The 400 Blows (1959)

"An enduring masterpiece...Truffaut's autobiographical fiction shows an admirable equanimity by depicting the highs and lows of boyhood. [Blu-ray]"

Peter Canavese

-

The 4400 - The Complete First Season (2004)

"The 4400 Cast & Exec. Producers"

Peter Canavese

Tomato
3.5/4

49 Up (2006)

"Though less extreme, the Up series suggests a real-life Truman Show, with subjects sometimes reluctantly allowing their lives to be recorded on film."

Peter Canavese

Tomato
3.5/4

500 Days of Summer (2009)

"The playful Generation Y story (500) Days of Summer goes against the grain by wisely substituting delusion for deception. Boy meets girl. Boy thinks he understands girl. Boy oh boy."

Peter Canavese

Tomato
2.5/4

51 Birch Street (2006)

"We'd all be better off if we could find our grace without a camera's obstruction, but ironically, Block's film provides a useful direction to see our way."

Peter Canavese

Tomato
3/4

5X2 (2005)

"Ozon presents no easy answers, but his often incisive "show, don't tell" character study makes touching emotional observations of marital folly."

Peter Canavese

Tomato
2.5/4

8 Mile (2002)

"You can't stop him or crop him/He's in widescreen and large/He ain't playing when he's baggin' Curtis Hanson for Sarge... [Blu-ray]"

Peter Canavese

Splat
2.5/4

9 (2009)

"One senses Acker stretching his eleven-minute short rather than containing bigger ideas and characters who have taken on lives of their own: 9 too clearly puts style over substance."

Peter Canavese

Splat
1/4

9 Songs (2005)

"May I humbly suggest you go to a concert or have sex instead? Heck, do both."

Peter Canavese
