The 11th Hour (2007) |
"This ain't bread-and-circuses [celeb] infotainment intended to distract us from the very real, very dangerous problems we face as a society. It's exactly the opposite, and absolutely terrifying." |
MaryAnn Johanson |

12 Rounds (2009) |
"This ain't the real 12 Rounds. Not the actual movie. It's more like a storyboard. Or an animatic. That's it. Just to give you an idea of what the real movie's gonna look like. Man, you're gonna love it, I swear." |

16 Blocks (2006) |
"[G]oes all the way around from snark to serious, starts out like it's gonna rag on Die Hard and ends up being way more thoughtful and actually even sorta solemn about dirty cops, systemic corruption, and how damn exhausting New York City can be." |

28 Days Later (2003) |
"[H]umanistic and unsentimental, like some lost science fiction flick from the 70s that’s just been rediscovered." |
MaryAnn Johanson |

28 Weeks Later (2007) |
"And so as the world seemingly renews its dedication to taking itself straight to hell, even our horror movies suddenly seem less like mere entertainments and more like real-life fever dreams..." |

MaryAnn Johanson |
Tomato |
3:10 to Yuma (2007) |
"[G]loriously old-fashioned in the best movie way, redolent of its pulpy, junky roots in the pure adventure thrills of dime novels but also heady with consequence..." |
