Race to Witch Mountain (2009)

"Like so many of Disney's revampings (see Flubber), it's merely another disappointing attempt to revive the old chestnuts by larding them up with special effects."

Racing Stripes (2005)

"It has enough heart and humor to land it in the winner's circle, even if not in first place."

Rails & Ties (2007)

"The metaphors flow almost as freely as the tears in this sentimental weepie."

Raining Stones (1993)

Raising Helen (2004)

"Like a bad sitcom, it wants to make you smile while tugging at your heartstrings, but what it induces is a grimace and heartburn."

Rambo (2008)

"The original Rambo movie was actually titled First Blood...This one should be called Entirely Too Much Blood."

Rat Race (2001)

"A woebegone attempt at an ensemble farce which Paramount Pictures could label 'guaranteed laugh-free' without the slightest danger of a lawsuit."

The Raven (1963)

No article available.

Ray (2004)

"Slick, oversized (at 153 minutes), ostensibly warts-and-all but actually quite reverential, the movie is nonetheless quite enjoyable, thanks [to]...Foxx's galvanizing turn."

The Reader (2008)

"Intelligent and impeccably crafted but...also rather remote and chilly, the kind of film in which craft trumps heart...ultimately fails to do emotional justice to the subject it tackles."

Ready to Wear (1994)

No article available.

Real Women Have Curves (2002)

"Sharp, shrewd and observant...a small gem of a movie."

Rear Window (1954)

"There's no need for anybody to go on at length about the absolute brilliance of Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 thriller, which represented the first stunning cinematic statement about the effects of the kind of modern voyeurism associated with film itself."

The Reception (2005)

"Isn't much more than a high-toned soap opera, but it's a relatively sophisticated and occasionally affecting one."

Reckless (1995)

No article available.

The Recruit (2003)

"A gaudy, contrived bit of cinematic legerdemain thick with style and atmosphere but distinctly short on logic and sense."

Red Dragon (2002)

"Impresses as a skillfully assembled, highly polished and professional adaptation...just about as chilling and unsettling as 'Manhunter' was."

Red Lights (2004)

"Kahn has taken the slight, character-driven piece and invested it with a delicious frisson of quiet, almost everyday menace...stop and watch."

Red Road (2007)

"Those willing to work their way through a woman's halting effort to overcome grief will find it a sensitive and engrossing film, though not always an entirely plausible one."

Redacted (2007)

"Even the rants against Redacted by that noxious blowhard Bill O'Reilly aren't quite reason enough to recommend it."

Reds (1981)

Regarding Henry (1991)

Reign Over Me (2007)

"A manipulative male-bonding dramedy that's hobbled by the questionable casting of Adam Sandler in a pivotal role and use of a national tragedy to give it emotional resonance."

Religulous (2008)

"A Maher riff that's amusing enough, but hardly profound--one that's unlikely to alter your views on religion, whatever choir you're in."

Renaissance (2006)

"A by-the-numbers futuristic cop yarn as ordinary in its narrative as it's remarkable for its technique...as boring as most of its live-action siblings in the genre."
