Tomato

Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

"The ... all-too-convincing squalor and misery ... make the feel-good ending seem righteously earned."

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato

Star Trek (2009)

"Is the new Star Trek movie perfect? Absolutely not. But I went in an original Trek fan ... and came out feeling oddly elated, grateful for the things that worked and secure in the belief that the rough spots will work themselves out in the a"

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato

State of Play (2003)

"Smart, provocative and deeply satisfying the originalState of Play is well-worth seeking out, regardless of what you thought of the US do-over."

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato

State of Play (2009)

"When the newspaper thriller's obituary is written, State of Play may well be cited as the genre's last gasp."

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato

Surveillance (2009)

"A taut, nihilistic, exercise in heartland desolation, and unlike most films whose success is predicated on an 11th-hour twist, it plays 100% fair: The truth is out there from the beginning, if you're willing to see it."

Maitland McDonagh

Splat

Taken (2009)

"A bizarre mix of sentimentality and bone-cracking violence, this Hardcore/Not Without My Daughter hybrid pits a determined father against the thuggish Albanian sex traffickers who kidnapped daddy's little girl as she vacationed in Paris.<"

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato

A Tale Of Two Sisters (2003)

"Kim Ji-woon's psychological skin-chiller painstakingly teases apart the traumas that bind a widower, his teen daughters... and his high-strung second wife in a suffocating web of guilt, suspicion and fear. The American remake, The Uninvited (2009), pales"

Maitland McDonagh

Splat

Terminator Salvation (2009)

"The trouble with Terminator: Salvation ... [is that] there's a yawning void where its emotional center should be."

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato

Timecrimes (2008)

"Nacho Vigalondo's bleak time-travel thriller... [chronicles the travails of a] classic film noir schmuck: No matter what he does, sooner or later fate will stick out her foot and trip him up."

Maitland McDonagh

Splat

Twilight (2008)

"Twilight is pure fantasy, emphasis on the pure... it's a soft-focus reverie for girls who want to be Disney princesses and have their bad boys, too, as long as the bad boys are models of tormented self-restraint."

Maitland McDonagh

Splat

The Uninvited (2009)

"It's hard to believe it took two directors, British brothers Charles and Thomas Guard, and three screenwriters to make this vapid remake of... [the] insidiously unnerving A Tale of Two Sisters/Janghwa, Hongryeon (2003)."

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato

Up in the Air (2009)

"Hugely entertaining .... Reitman can turn bitter, unpalatable material into mainstream movies without stripping away all the bite"

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato

Watchmen (2009)

"A first-rate adaptation of Moore and Gibbons' densely imagined, alternate pop culture history of the world, a dazzling, dystopian fable with a deeply dark heart."

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato

The White Reindeer (1952)

"Beneath a blanket of glittering snow, this mix of Sami folklore, anthropological fantasy and horror tells the story of a neglected bride who becomes a vicious shapeshifter."

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato

The Wrestler (2008)

"Mickey Rourke's mesmerizing, road-wreck performance as [a] washed-up wrestler ... is the only reason to sit through The Wrestler's cliches"

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

"Upscale casting goes a long way towards elevating the pulpy material ... [but while] Wolverine tries hard, it never transcends its origins."

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato

[Rec] (2007)

"This short, stripped-down, first-person horror picture delivers some brutally effective shocks and gradually conjures a haunting atmosphere of ever-escalating panic and despair."

Maitland McDonagh
