Charlie Bartlett (2007)

"Poll and screenwriter Gustin Nash may be paying homage, here, but they also bring to the table a comparable depth of thought and characterization."

Cinderella Man (2005)

"'The film is ... as rich in Depression-era authenticity as such a picture gets, complete with a palpable air of social decay and personalized despondency.'"

Alexander (2004)

"Ponderous to a fault, a good-looking production that just sort of sits there looking self-important despite the violence and intrigues basic to the story."

National Treasure (2004)

"... a mock-epic assault on the conventional wisdom of American history."

Ray (2004)

"... so suffused with clichéd mock-eventfulness and insipid veneration that you'd think [director Taylor] Hackford might be nominating [Ray Charles] for sainthood."

Dave (1993)

"Darned near the Second Coming of Capra in Reitman's account of common decency under siege by political treacheries."

Far and Away (1992)

"Overblown would-be epic of the Western frontier."

The Invisible Maniac (1990)

"Why bother with special effects when you can have your stunt players pretending to grapple with an unseen assailant?"

Cry Freedom (1987)

"Often harrowing and naturalistic but ultimately self-important in its indictment of police-state politics."

Pray for Death (1985)

"Depends upon which cut you've seen, whether the movie is any good or night. The pre-ratings original is pure ferocity, where the butchered American version comes off more like refried Jackie Chan."

Blade Runner (1982)

"Futurism meets film noir in the most satisfying S-F picture of its day."

The Wild Angels (1966)

"Essential entry in the biker-flick craze of the 1960s and '70s, a heartfelt plea for nihilism and abnormalcy in a world enslaved by Civilization."

Orgy of the Dead (1965)

"Ghastly, but only in the sense of ineptitude."

Invaders From Mars (1953)

"Wm. Cameron Menzies' almost-masterpiece of Cold War paranoia, bracing and impactful despite some conspicuous gaffes in the costuming-and-effects department. The underlying beauty of it all is a tacit understanding that yes, It Can, Too, Happen Here."

The Boy With Green Hair (1948)

"A peculiar mixing of bigot-buster and pacifist sensibilities, rendered largely incoherent on account of Howard Hughes' attempts to transform the piece into a pro-war tract. Strange that such a safe-as-milk picture could have caused many of its talents to"

The Petrified Forest (1936)

"Gangster Existentialism deluxe."

Foolish Wives (1922)

"The original 'Eyes Wide Shut,' confronting the erotic obsession with frankness and confrontational humor."
