I Am Legend (2007)

"The movie year's most expensive and ambitious sci-fi spectacular, I Am Legend, is three movies in one: a futuristic effects-o-rama, a zombie thriller and a survivalist parable. Each is better than average, and the experience is fairly gripping."

William Arnold

Splat
C-

I Am Sam (2002)

"...two hours-plus of numbing melodramatic nothingness drowned in the sticky, sweet syrup Sam loves so much on his waffles. This has more than even he could choke down."

Sean Axmaker

B

I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (2002)

"Not since Jean Luc Godard filmed the recording sessions for the Rolling Stones' Sympathy for the Devil has a filmmaker gotten this close to the creative process of musicians at work in the studio."

Bill White

Tomato
C+

I Capture the Castle (2003)

"Director Tim Fywell, a veteran of British TV drama, executes his work handsomely and self-consciously."

Sean Axmaker

Tomato
B

I Don't Want To Sleep Alone (2007)

"It's a return to the dreamy style of Tsai's studies in urban alienation and social disconnection, in which feelings often are suppressed and words are rarely spoken..."

Sean Axmaker

Tomato
B-

I Dreamed of Africa (2000)

"Far from a great movie, it nonetheless does its job as a family adventure and saga of a woman's personal growth."

William Arnold

Tomato
B-

I Heart Huckabees (2004)

"Russell ... has plenty of vision, intelligence and gall but he doesn't quite have the steady hand and comic flair that a masterpiece- wannabe such as this demands."

William Arnold

Splat
C

I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)

"It's kind of like "Tootsie," only without the drag. Or the class. Or the laughs."

Sean Axmaker

Tomato
B

I Served the King of England (2008)

"A young man's plans to become a hotel magnate are thwarted by the fickle finger of history in this comical eulogy for Czechoslovakia."

Bill White

Splat
C

I Spy (2002)

"Too much of the humor falls flat."

William Arnold

I Stand Alone (1998)

C+

I Think I Love My Wife (2007)

"It may be cruel to say it, but there's also no getting around the fact that Rock doesn't have the charisma to hold this thing together. He's great at stand-up, and not bad in supporting roles, but he simply doesn't have the stature of a leading man."

William Arnold

I Want You (1998)

C+

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

"Hodges cuts the film like a diamond, but it's just an exercise in cut glass, an impressive surface that only looks tough."

Sean Axmaker

Tomato
B

I'm Going Home (2002)

"A minor film with major pleasures from Portuguese master Manoel de Oliviera..."

Sean Axmaker

Tomato
B+

I'm Not Scared (2004)

"In the end, its elements come together with the kind of genuinely thrilling, deeply satisfying climax that even the better Hollywood movies just can't seem to pull off anymore."

William Arnold

Tomato
A-

I'm Not There (2007)

"It's so rich with ideas and visual details and imaginative gestures that you can lose yourself in the cinematic musings."

Sean Axmaker

Tomato
9/10

I'm the One That I Want (2000)

Sean Axmaker

Tomato
A-

I've Loved You So Long (2008)

"I've Loved You So Long is a heart-rending movie that takes the audience by surprise."

Paula Nechak

Tomato
B-

I, Robot (2004)

"It may not be Asimov but its plot is truly labyrinthine, it works a specific theme and it's happy to end itself in a shroud of enigma."

William Arnold

Splat
C+

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

"Loaded with graphs, facts and statistics, it is too weighty a lesson in economics to be digested in 90 minutes."

Bill White

Tomato
B-

Ice Age (2002)

"Think of it as "The Jungle Book" with a case of frostbite."

Sean Axmaker

Splat
C

Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)

"The exposition is lazy and sloppy and the story has little creative heat."

Sean Axmaker

Tomato
B-

The Ice Harvest (2005)

"... the understated humor is nicely played by Cusack and Thornton..."

Sean Axmaker

Splat
C+

Ice Princess (2005)

"We get that the heroine is geeky (laying groundwork for the duck-to-swan transformation), but must she babble physics formulas at parties?"

Ellen Kim

Tomato
B+

An Ideal Husband (1999)

William Arnold

Splat
C

Identity (2003)

"It crams so much overblown activity in every corner of every scene that it has no space to build any genuine suspense."

William Arnold

Splat
D

Idlewild (2006)

"The most ridiculous period film since rappers took on the Old West in Posse."

Bill White

Splat
D

Igby Goes Down (2002)

"Culkin exudes none of the charm or charisma that might keep a more general audience even vaguely interested in his bratty character."

William Arnold

Splat
C-

Igor (2008)

"... a haphazard collection of spare movie parts cobbled together in a pale imitation of better-animated comedies."

Sean Axmaker

Splat
D

Illuminata (1998)

William Arnold

Splat
C+

Illusion (2004)

"Several of its transitions are glaringly contrived, and its morality tale never quite comes together to be the shattering spiritual experience it wants to be."

William Arnold

Tomato
B-

The Illusionist (2006)

"A well-mounted, well-acted and sporadically engrossing historical romance that isn't quite as magical as it wants to be."

William Arnold

Splat
C

Imaginary Heroes (2004)

"The questions are more interesting before Harris answers them in all-too- neat explanations that come off as a cheap, painless way to solve problems with much deeper roots."

Sean Axmaker

Tomato
b

Imaginary Witness: Hollywood and the Holocaust (2004)

"Sheds light on the paradoxes and political maneuvering that went on in the studios."

Bill White

Tomato
B-

Imagine Me & You (2006)

"The cordial company of the characters and the snappy wit of the script make Ol Parker's British romantic comedy the equivalent of comfort food a pleasant cinematic snack."

Sean Axmaker

IMAX - T-Rex - Back to the Cretaceous (1998)

"The tepid story line sinks this 45-minute, big-screen film right into the tar pits."

Paula Nechak

Tomato
B-

Importance of Being Earnest (2002)

"Great fun, but it's just a tad this side of being overproduced, much of the author's dry wit gets lost in the scenery."

William Arnold

Tomato
B-

Impostor (2001)

"Has a certain ghoulish fascination, and generates a fair amount of B-movie excitement."

William Arnold

Tomato
B-

The Impure Glance (2003)

"(Giuseppe) Rocca fills the film with his exquisitely crafted images and the dreamlike cinematography of Antonio Grambone, but never connects emotionally with the characters."

Sean Axmaker

Splat
C

In America (2003)

"Sheridan can't pull off Mockingbird's trick of playing the cocooned magic of childhood against compromised adulthood in a poignant way."

William Arnold

Tomato
B

In Bruges (2008)

"A perfectly titled and thoroughly engaging -- if at times gleefully violent -- black comedy."

William Arnold

Tomato
B+

In Good Company (2004)

"It's a smart, savvy and satisfying Hollywood comedy set in the real world of economic survival, family responsibility and grown-up decisions with real consequences."

Sean Axmaker

Tomato
A

In Her Shoes (2005)

"The movie is so well-cast, sympathetically acted and delicately directed -- and so genuinely touching and funny -- that it leaps right out of the narrow confines of the family bonding formula."

William Arnold

Splat
C

In My Country (2005)

"Jackson appears uncomfortable in his role, the scenes leading up to his romantic involvement are strangely unconvincing and the arc of both characters' emotional and political growth is choppy and contrived."

William Arnold

In Praise of Love (2001)

Tomato
B

In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008)

"A naturalistic mix of vulgarity and romanticism gives this independent effort a mainstream appeal."

Bill White

Tomato
A

In Search of Mozart (2006)

"Filmed with affection, taste, warmth and, yes, truth."

R. M. Campbell

Tomato

In the Bedroom (2001)

"It's a first-rate piece of work."

William Arnold
