I Am David (2004)

"Interview with I Am David screenwriter-director Paul Feig."

Dan Lybarger

Tomato
2.5/4

I Am David (2004)

""I Am David" earns just about every teardrop it elicits. The journey isn't smooth, but that doesn't mean it isn't worthwhile."

Dan Lybarger

Splat
2/4

I Am Legend (2007)

"Go for the thrills, for some nerve-gnawing suspense, for the wonderful production design and for the opportunity to spend some time with Will Smith. But this one is not the stuff of legend."

Robert W. Butler

Splat

I Am Sam (2002)

"A bully of a movie that grabs your arm, twists it up behind your back and won't let go until it makes you cry."

Robert W. Butler

Tomato

I Capture the Castle (2003)

"The film is a charmer. It's romantic, funny and satisfying."

Robert W. Butler

Splat

I Dreamed of Africa (2000)

"They don't revoke Academy Awards, do they?"

Robert W. Butler

Splat
2/4

I Heart Huckabees (2004)

"At first, anyway, it's mildly amusing. But before too long, all this whimsical, metaphysical meandering and smarty-pants wordplay grows wearisome."

Robert W. Butler

Splat
1.5/4

I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009)

"The troubles start with the casting. Rust is only 28, but he has the hangdog look of a 50-year-old plumbing salesman. Charisma is not his strong suit."

Robert W. Butler

Tomato
2.5/4

I Love You, Man (2009)

"In the end, this is all Rudd’s movie."

Robert W. Butler

Splat
1/4

I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)

"When you’re more intrigued by the appearance of Richard Chamberlain than the film’s final courtroom denouement, you know this union of movie and moviegoer was doomed from the start."

David Frese

Tomato
3/4

I Served the King of England (2008)

"Amelie meets The Pianist in I Served the King of England, one man’s surreal journey through 30 years of Czech history."

Robert W. Butler

Splat

I Spy (2002)

"Just about everyone involved here seems to be coasting. There are a few modest laughs, but certainly no thrills."

Robert W. Butler

-

I Stand Alone (1998)

Click here to see the review.

Robert W. Butler

Splat
1/4

I Think I Love My Wife (2007)

"The anger that once made Rock's comedy so funny and provocative has become simply mean-spirited."

Loey Lockerby

Splat
2/4

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2004)

"Hodges and Preston have a commendable attitude, but with the thin story and shallow characters, even the right idea doesn't seem as interesting as it should be."

Dan Lybarger

Tomato

I'm Not Scared (2004)

"Hauntingly beautiful -- when it's not harrowingly disturbing."

Robert W. Butler

Tomato
3/4

I've Loved You So Long (2008)

"A good movie with a great performance, I’ve Loved You So Long is about one rewrite away from perfection."

Robert W. Butler

Tomato

I, Robot (2004)

"Pretty good science fiction."

Robert W. Butler

Tomato
3/4

I.O.U.S.A. (2008)

"Future generations may regard I.O.U.S.A. as the most important film of 2008. Not the best. Not the most entertaining. Just the most important."

Robert W. Butler

Splat
2/4

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009)

"Kids will go crazy, as most of the humor is pitched at their level. Mom and Dad might wish they’d gone to the pool instead."

Jason Heck

Splat
2/4

Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)

"As tiresome as a joke told repeatedly by a 6-year-old. "

David Frese

Splat
2/4

Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)

"Parents forced by unruly ankle-biters to spend an afternoon at the multiplex could do worse than Ice Age: The Meltdown (Valiant, anyone?). But if kids could be persuaded to wait a few months for the DVD, it wouldn’t be the end of the world."

David Frese

Tomato
2.5/4

The Ice Harvest (2005)

"[A] lightweight Bad Santa."

Robert W. Butler

Tomato
2.5/4

Ice Princess (2005)

"Enjoy Ice Princess for the female-fantasy-comes-true it is, and save the bigger discussion for the car ride home."

Sharon Chapman

Splat

Idle Hands (1999)

"Funnier than it is scary, and not very funny at that."

Brian McTavish

Splat
2/4

Idlewild (2006)

"The problem with many musicals is that they focus so much on the music, they skimp on the plot. The problem with Idlewild is that it skimps on both."

Loey Lockerby

Tomato

Igby Goes Down (2002)

"It's a movie so audacious as to take your breath away -- and one whose slashing style infuriates almost as often as it satisfies."

Robert W. Butler

Tomato
3.5/4

Ikiru (1952)

"Simultaneously an intensely human story, a timeless snapshot of postwar Japan, and a scathing satire of the bureaucratic mind-set."

Robert W. Butler

Tomato
3/4

The Illusionist (2006)

"Like a good magician, Burger knows how to divert our attention while he works his magic."

Robert W. Butler

Splat
1.5/4

Imagine That (2009)

"One of the most squirm-inducing saccharine-sweet movies to come along in a long time."

Jason Heck

Tomato

IMAX - Antarctica: An Adventure Of A Different Nature (1991)

"A grab bag of material -- a bit of history, a dash of science, some wildlife-film elements… and, of course, a load of fantastic large-format photography that captures the continent's icy wonders with spectacular clarity."

Robert W. Butler

-

IMAX - Journey into Amazing Caves (2001)

Robert W. Butler

Tomato
6/10

IMAX - Lost Worlds: Life in the Balance (2001)

"The most compelling moments in 'Lost Worlds' are those where the camera does the talking."

Dan Lybarger

Tomato

IMAX - Michael Jordan to the Max (2000)

"IMAX practically puts you on the court and magnifies everyone."

Ward Triplett III

Tomato
3/4

IMAX - Ocean Oasis (2002)

"This examination of aquatic life off the shores of the Baja California peninsula of Mexico offers an engrossing way to demonstrate the virtues of the IMAX format."

Dan Lybarger

Tomato

IMAX - Pulse: A STOMP Odyssey (2006)

"As soon as it's over you're tempted to buy another ticket and watch it all over again."

Robert W. Butler

Tomato

IMAX - SolarMax (2001)

"Everyone from hard-nosed rationalists to granola-munching mystics should find something to savor."

Robert W. Butler

-

IMAX - The Magic of Flight (1996)

Click here to see the review.

Robert W. Butler

Splat

Impostor (2001)

"The film's few ideas are stretched to the point of evaporation; the whole central section is one big chase that seems to have no goal and no urgency. It's just filler."

Robert W. Butler

Tomato
3/4

In America (2003)

"It's largely thanks to the remarkable Bolger girls that this tale of illegal immigrants looking for a new life in the Big Apple plays as well as it does."

Robert W. Butler

Splat
2/4

In Between Days (2006)

"The film has an admirable humanist agenda, but good intentions don’t matter much when you can’t care for the humans on the screen."

Robert W. Butler

Tomato
3/4

In Bruges (2008)

"In Bruges is memorable for its two leading men, whose Mutt and Jeff killers are nearly as fascinating and likable as those played by Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta in Pulp Fiction."

Robert W. Butler

Tomato

In Good Company (2004)

"Casts a discerning eye on the American workplace in this era of downsizing, takeovers and mergers. It's a comedy, not a tragedy, but that's more a matter of tone than of content."

Robert W. Butler

Splat
2/4

In Her Shoes (2005)

"What’s left is half a film that doesn’t live up to its potential and half that never had any to begin with."

Loey Lockerby

Tomato

In the Bedroom (2001)

"This one will haunt you."

Robert W. Butler

Tomato
3/4

In the Land of Women (2007)

"[Kasdan] has drawn such terrific performances from his players that the film’s shortcomings are excusable."

Robert W. Butler

Tomato

In the Mood for Love (2001)

"There may not be another filmmaker working today who can match Wong's ability to find meaning in color and texture."

Robert W. Butler

Tomato

In the Realms of the Unreal (2004)

"Yu's film is haunting, troubling and weirdly exhilarating. It can't begin to answer all the questions raised by Darger's ephemeral existence. Instead it wisely embraces his mystery."

Robert W. Butler

Tomato
3.5/4

In the Shadow of the Moon (2007)

"The film is a history lesson, certainly, but history as seen through the eyes of the men who made it."

Robert W. Butler

Splat

The In-Laws (2003)

"Fans of 1979's The In-Laws with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin will probably find the remake with Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks to be pretty tepid by comparison."

Robert W. Butler
