Rachel Getting Married (2008)

"While I admire the film for its performance tenacity, I also wanted to unleash a Louisville Slugger on the projector during stretches of the feature."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B+

The Reader (2008)

"Winslet and Kross commit wholeheartedly to their roles, which require substantial nudity and piercing communication of self without the crutch of words. It's sharp work from the actors, who play into Daldry's slow-burn design of sorrow magnificently."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B+

Red Cliff (2009)

"A user-friendly spectacle of warriors and weapons, Red Cliff is a majestic motion picture that returns Woo to the sort of whirlwind screen restlessness he built his legendary name upon."

A-

Redbelt (2008)

"Redbelt strikes amazing notes of drama and character composition that could only come from the labyrinthine, puckered mind of Mamet."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C+

Religulous (2008)

"Religulous is the type of film to be sent off into the world to crack open a few eyes and change some lives. In reality, only those patient with Maher and already free of devotion will be receptive to the message. It's a missed opportunity."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C

Renegades (1989)

"Drab and unconvincing, trying to manufacture car crashes and violent detours to keep in step with the action genre. Not a terrible film, but an oddly joyless one."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B+

Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)

"Repo! lingers long after it ends, due in great part to a handful of memorable tunes and its persistent funky attitude, marked by an impressive desire to savor oddity and unconventional displays of heartache."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
A

Return to Me (2000)

"Contrivances abound, no doubt, but the picture refuses any disingenuous pollutant access to the mix, instead leading with heartfelt, lived-in emotions, enjoying a deliciously homey mood of friendly flirtation and old-world wisdom."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
A

Revolutionary Road (2008)

"An extraordinary motion picture that harnesses spellbinding emotional discharge and enthralling disgust, using two of the most talented and captivating stars of today to bring to the screen a masterwork of domestic isolation."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D-

Righteous Kill (2008)

"Avnet is perhaps the last guy on a list of suitable directors to helm a Pacino/De Niro face off, but here we are, and Righteous Kill is expectedly ripe with flaws and teeming with idiocy."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D

The Rocker (2008)

"A pox on the house of the individual who first told Rainn Wilson he was a funny man. For the inconsiderate moose that decided to open their trap and inspire this actor, I wish them the same discomfort I suffered while watching The Rocker."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B+

RocknRolla (2008)

"RocknRolla is an invigorating, grimly hilarious return to old Ritchie sensibilities, the director mounting a slingshot crime saga with more gravitas and hangdog heroics than previously seen."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B+

Rogue (2008)

"A film predicated on ideas of suspense and pace rather than blasting violence and idiocy, Rogue is a satisfying, skilled entry in the water-based terror genre."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B

Role Models (2008)

"Coming dangerously close to self-parody at times, Role Models remains a light but heartily funny diversion, best served with a raucous audience who appreciate a masterful KISS joke when they see one."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B-

Rudo and Cursi (2009)

"Granted, all this uncut Mexican energy will perhaps take a night in a sensory deprivation chamber to properly expunge from the system, but it's a wild ride of thespian effort that keeps the material amicable."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
A-

The Ruins (2008)

"Near-perfect at manipulating its audience...it's a marvelous nightmare machine."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B

Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)

"Schwimmer is wise to keep his camera trained on Pegg at all times, as the actor can make any sequence worthwhile with his unexpected, jittery retorts and reactions."

Brian Orndorf
