Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

"The purpose of the exercise. If you can't love this film, you have no business loving movies at all."

Raising Arizona (1987)

"The slapstick energy of a Road Runner cartoon, raised to the level of near-art."

Rambo (2008)

"I suppose this is what we get for encouraging the man."

Rashomon (1950)

"Though I'd been meaning to see it for years, watching the Criterion Collection DVD was my first time. I'm almost at a loss for words."

Ratatouille (2007)

"A furry, pink-tailed, and utterly irresistible affirmation of mainstream animation at its best."

The Raven (1963)

"Gimmicky drive-in fare, though nobody can deliver that poem like Price."

Real Genius (1985)

The Reaping (2007)

"Fool! Dost thou not know that creepy children have cursed our screens in numbers too great to count, and by now, we find them marginally less terrifying than navel lint?"

Red (2008)

"Red is the best Ketchum adaptation to date, just edging out The Girl Next Door. It earns this achievement thanks to Brian Cox's amazing performance."

Red Dragon (2002)

"Imperfect? Yes, but also intriguing and honorable, a worthwhile addition to a distinguished film legacy."

Redbelt (2008)

"The director knows this world and the actor makes us care about it. Redbelt requires little more to make good on its promises."

The Ref (1994)

"A wicked update of "The Ransom of Red Chief," re-imagined for the dysfunctional ’90s."

Religulous (2008)

"You can't bamboozle a theme park mascot -- even one dressed up as Jesus -- and then ask to be taken seriously."

Renaissance (2006)

"As awe-inspiring as director Christian Volckman's futuristic imaginings can be, Renaissance squanders them on a story of exasperating banality."

Requiem for a Dream (2000)

"The film's climactic montage is probably one of the most harrowing sequences in the history of cinema."

The Rescuers (1977)

"A minor but enjoyable entry from Disney's fallow period. Great voice work from Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor."

Resident Evil (2002)

"A loud, annoying, and gloriously dumb action-horror movie that might have been a good popcorn flick if it were more fun."

Return of the Living Dead (1985)

No article available.

Return to Oz (1985)

"An underrated little romp, surprisingly faithful to L. Frank Baum's atmosphere... though obviously it's all overshadowed by that other Oz flick."

Revenge of the Pink Panther (1978)

No article available.

Righteous Kill (2008)

"Fans in need of a Pacino/De Niro hit can just watch the coffee-shop scene from Heat again: it's 20 times cooler and 80 minutes shorter."

The Ring Two (2005)

"Wan, thin, and surprisingly boring, even for the simple needs of a genre picture."

Ringu (1998)

"When the final sequence -- a hair-raiser to end all hair-raisers -- arrived, I was reduced to a whimpering, shivering wreck."
