$9.99 (2009) |
"Fans of deadpan comic fantasy writers like Douglas Adams and Kurt Vonnegut are likely to be intrigued by this lively little packet of weird -- then dive like a dolphin into Keret's loopy story volumes." |

'Tis Autumn - The Search for Jackie Paris (2007) |
"Like the maker of the similar documentary Stone Reader, De Felitta is determined to restore Paris' work to public view. Based on the many delightful samples on the soundtrack, it's an exemplary goal." |

(Untitled) (2009) |
"(Untitled) is a tinny satire destined to go (Unwatched) because it is (Uninteresting)." |

10,000 B.C. (2008) |
"While the special effects are top notch... the humans are dull, the dialogue is ridiculous, and anyone expecting a repeat of the action in 300 is going to be sorely disappointed with this bloodless PG-13 adventure." |

101 Reykjavik (2001) |
"Has a generosity of spirit, sharp character observation and solid performances." |

102 Dalmatians (2000) |
"The rare family movie that works on two levels." |

10th & Wolf (2006) |
"The movie doesn't miss a cliché, ineptly lifting liberally from The Godfather and GoodFellas, among other classics." |

The 11th Hour (2007) |
"Unusually undisguised leftism. The scare montages are--I'm not making this up--very similar to one shown in last year's remake of The Omen." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
12 (2007) |
"A loose remake that's not only as Russian as vodka but also a grippingly entertaining actors' showcase." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3/4 |
12 and Holding (2006) |
"If the movie leaves you feeling more uneasy than, say, Rushmore, it's because it doesn't give you any whimsy to hang on to. But whimsy is a way of looking at childhood in the rearview mirror; 12 and Holding crashes into it head-on." |
Kyle Smith |

12 Rounds (2009) |
"A big, dumb lug of an action movie, 12 Rounds is fronted by a big, dumb lug named John Cena." |

13 Going on 30 (2004) |
"It's a surprisingly charming and fresh comedy that only becomes painfully saccharine in its last 20 minutes." |

13 Tzameti (2006) |
"Starts slowly but builds, Hitchcock-style, to a terrifying crescendo." |

The 13th Floor (1999) |

The 13th Warrior (1999) |
"As movies about Norsemen go, it's not as witty as The Vikings with Kirk Douglas, but it holds your attention through sheer cinematic power." |

"Overwrought and hypocritical." |

16 Blocks (2006) |
"The actors seem to have inspired the hack director Richard Donner and the cat-and-mouse game is much grittier than one would expect from the creator of the Lethal Weapon series." |
Lou Lumenick |

16 Years Of Alcohol (2003) |
"Despite reams of maudlin narration, McKidd's powerful performance as a conflicted man makes this beautifully shot low-budget feature worth checking out." |

17 Again (2009) |
"17 Again makes the '80s comedies on which it's modeled seem positively cutting-edge by comparison." |

2 Days In Paris (2007) |
"The movie is just a situation salad, at least until the end, when things start to pull together a bit." |

2009 Academy-Award Nominated Short Films (2009) |
"The 10 short films (half ani mated, half live-action) nominated for Oscars this year are a mixed bag, but it is still a public service to give them a two-week run on the big screen." |
V.A. Musetto |

2012 (2009) |
"Only a movie critic without a sense of humor would question whether you could really drive a limo straight through a collapsing skyscraper...or whether the Dalai Lama really owns a pickup truck." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
2046 (2005) |
"2046 is a bit overlong and not for all tastes, but fans of In the Mood for Love will relish this second helping, which is more emotionally substantial than the first." |
Lou Lumenick |

21 (2008) |
"The fascinating story of six college students who took Las Vegas for millions gets dealt a bad hand in 21, which turns their true-life saga into a slick, shallow and thoroughly generic caper flick." |
Lou Lumenick |

21 Grams (2003) |
"The title refers to the weight -- perhaps the soul -- the body is said to lose at the precise moment of death. But 21 Grams has no shortage of soul, wit or intelligence." |

28 Weeks Later (2007) |
"It's an exciting, well-directed thriller that, while providing more than enough action and gore to satisfy genre fans, also offers the political commentary that has characterized zombie movies." |

30 Days of Night (2007) |
"You could make a horror film with shocking story developments and creepy twists. Or, you could just have monsters with pointy teeth jump into the frame while making loud noises. For the latter, check out the vampire flick 30 Days of Night." |

30 Years to Life (2002) |
"Middleton ... has assembled a clique of familiar, broadly drawn characters, but her film manages to rise above sitcom status, thanks to their sassy repartee." |

300 (2007) |
"Keeping in mind Slate's Mickey Kaus' Hitler Rule -- never compare anything to Hitler -- it isn't a stretch to imagine Adolf's boys at a 300 screening, heil-fiving each other throughout and then lining up to see it again." |
