"It's an entertaining, depressing and ultimately hopeful movie about the times we live in." |

'Til There Was You (1997) |
"Tripplehorn and McDermott don't look as if they belong together and aren't strong enough actors to overcome their physical incompatibility. So there's no sense of urgency about them getting together." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 4/4 |
(Untitled) (2009) |
"It doesn't have a hero who's right and everyone else is wrong. And though it mocks every character, it dismisses nobody. It makes a case for every point of view, including those the filmmakers don't share." |

10 Questions for the Dalai Lama (2007) |
"There have been several documentaries about the Dalai Lama, but few have done a better job of packaging the Tibetan religious leader's circumstances, both historical and current, along with his philosophies, than 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama." |
G. Allen Johnson |
Splat 1/4 |
10 Things I Hate About You (1999) |
"The movie wimped out by blanding down the story and the characters to the point where she isn't really a shrew and he isn't really a maniac." |
Mick LaSalle |

10,000 B.C. (2008) |
"While the movie is completely ridiculous, at least it's fun to think of all the high school students who are going to mistake this movie for an accurate historical record and get F's on their next pop quiz." |

1000 Journals (2008) |
"1000 Journals has a catchy hook, and Kreuzhage showed tenacity in following many difficult trails, but the movie plods." |

101 Reykjavik (2001) |
"Gudnason makes a delightful anti-hero, Abril is a kick in the pants and the snowy locations are nicely integrated." |

102 Dalmatians (2000) |
"It has everything -- cuddly animals, colorful outfits and sight gags." |

"An inventive, black comedy." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The 11th Hour (2007) |
"An Inconvenient Truth was short on how to make life better. It rushed through a list of 'what to do next' offerings in the film's last few minutes. Here is where The 11th Hour shines." |
Joe Garofoli |
Splat 2/4 |
12 (2007) |
"Forget it if you're hoping for some of the pleasures found in Sidney Lumet's 1957 film -- the gradual unraveling of a crime, the heroics of a single juror who persuades his fellow citizens to listen to reason." |
Mick LaSalle |

12 and Holding (2006) |
"Raw and unpredictable. It's also compelling." |

12 Monkeys (1995) |
"A potent glimpse of doom with a jarringly familiar ring." |

Tomato 4/4 |
12:08 East of Bucharest (2007) |
"12:08 East of Bucharest cleverly takes on the aftermath of the December 1989 revolution in Romania that resulted in the overthrow of Nicolae Ceaucescu. It's a movie that seems simple, yet its subtle and brilliant complexity is not to be denied." |
Leba Hertz |

13 Going on 30 (2004) |
"Provides a lighthearted, amusing and yet mostly honest version of a daydream most of us have had at one time or another." |
Mick LaSalle |

13 Tzameti (2006) |
"The Georgian-born French director Gela Babluani makes an absorbing debut with this black-and-white thriller." |

"It falls short where it counts: in the final confrontation." |

1408 (2007) |
"1408 is one of the good Stephen King adaptations, one that maintains its author's sly sense of humor and satiric view of human nature." |

"Royston Tan seems more interested in directing a 97-minute music video than a story with weight and depth." |

15 Minutes (2001) |
"A shrewd thriller." |

16 Blocks (2006) |
"Another urban action thriller that's better than some, worse than most and so forgettable that it's possible to forget it while watching it." |

17 Again (2009) |
"17 Again isn't a sophisticated work of art, nor was it intended to be. It's often silly, sometimes fun silly, sometimes too silly." |

2 Days In Paris (2007) |
"It's possible to watch 2 Days in Paris and have absolutely no idea who's calling the shots. This is excellent news because it means that we gain a director without losing an actress." |
Mick LaSalle |

2 Days In The Valley (1996) |
"Funny, pathetic, sad, absurdist -- writer-director John Herzfeld plays it any number of ways, and makes them all work." |

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) |
"Nothing says summer film fun like explosions, guns and cartwheeling cars -- and that's all here." |

200 Cigarettes (1999) |

2009 Academy-Award Nominated Short Films (2009) |
"In this year's crop of Oscar-nominated shorts, the animated category beats the live-action offerings." |

Tomato 4/4 |

"People talk about "formula" almost always as a pejorative, but formulas get to be formulas because they work, and there's something to be said for a formula picture done almost to perfection." |

21 Grams (2003) |
"Inarritu and Arriaga's first English-language film doesn't approach the brilliance of Amores Perros, but it succeeds on a more modest scale." |
Carla Meyer |

24 City (2009) |
"24 City won't change the minds of detractors -- it is his most painfully slow yet -- but it might change the minds of his supporters, including this critic, for Jia attempts something that is, in the end, unforgivable." |
G. Allen Johnson |
Tomato 4/4 |
24 Hour Party People (2002) |
"Winterbottom has set a high, new standard with 24 Hour Party People, his funny, riveting look at the music scene that ruled Manchester, England, from 1976 to 1992." |

27 Dresses (2008) |
"All the plot elements that we're encouraged to care about in 27 Dresses resolve in a dud, and the only thing that feels good about the feel-good finish is that it means the movie's over." |
