Tomato
3.5/4

$9.99 (2009)

"The stop-motion animated world of $9.99 is a marvel to behold."

Jeff Shannon

Tomato
2.5/4

(Untitled) (2009)

"The impenetrable gallery jargon is quite funny at first, and the brothers' twisted relationship is set up nicely, but the movie errs when it takes itself seriously."

John Hartl

Tomato

101 Reykjavik (2001)

"101 Reykjavik sometimes seems to be drifting pointlessly, but it keeps on righting itself, with moments of humor and imagination."

Moira MacDonald

Splat

102 Dalmatians (2000)

"The plot is dully formulaic, and the comeuppance of the villains is of the incessant, sadistic Home Alone variety."

Tomato
3/4

The 11th Hour (2007)

"The shadowy photography of the interviewees lends an ominous tone to nearly every scene, but what they're saying is often pragmatic and helpful."

John Hartl

Tomato
3.5/4

12 (2007)

"Casting himself as the considerate jury foreman, Mikhalkov turns directorial confinement into a master-class of composition, performance and especially editing, as 12 crackles along for 2-½ hours that grab and hold your attention."

Jeff Shannon

Tomato
3/4

12 and Holding (2006)

"Tough and troubling drama."

John Hartl

Tomato
2.5/4

13 Going on 30 (2004)

"You find yourself rooting for [Garner and Ruffalo], despite the predictability of the premise."

Moira MacDonald

Tomato
3.5/4

13 Tzameti (2006)

"Gela Babluani, according to the film's sparse press kit, is only 26 years old but already knows more about suspense than some filmmakers learn in a career."

Moira MacDonald

Splat

The 13th Warrior (1999)

"The film feels as hollow as empty armor and slightly hackneyed."

Tomato
3/4

1408 (2007)

"A genuinely disturbing and ingenious piece of horror that's as much a brainteaser as it is a feast of visual creativity."

Ted Fry

Splat

15 Minutes (2001)

"Two horrifyingly bad hours that should stand as a reminder to keep Hollywood away from big issues or anything else it can put in its mouth and choke on."

John Zebrowski

Tomato
3/4

16 Blocks (2006)

"Hiding among all the uniforms and bullets, it turns out, is an actors' movie, and two actors more than capable of hitting their marks."

Moira MacDonald

Tomato
3/4

17 Again (2009)

"The result is lumpy and irritating, but 17 Again regroups whenever Efron is back on screen."

Tom Keogh

Tomato
2.5/4

2 Days In Paris (2007)

"Delpy has a knack for finding just the right details; filming in her own hometown, she fills the movie with funny cross-cultural observances."

Moira MacDonald

Splat
2.5/4

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

"For all its technical prowess, pretty-boy looks and fetishistic appeal, 2 Fast is often laid low by a leaden script and a couple of glaring casting blunders."

Ted Fry

Tomato
2.5/4

20 Seconds of Joy (2009)

"Reminiscent of the brilliantly edited diving sequence in Leni Riefenstahl's 1936 Olympic Games documentary, Olympia, the movie sometimes suggests that gravity has been forgotten and human beings really can fly with the greatest of ease."

John Hartl

Splat
2.5/4

2012 (2009)

"Hollywood's most successful one-trick pony, Emmerich claims to favor "human stories" over end-of-the-world spectacle, but watching 2012 is like watching a sausage machine explode."

Jeff Shannon

Tomato
3.5/4

2046 (2005)

"2046 isn't entirely successful: It's very high-concept and can be difficult to follow. But when it was over, I immediately wanted to watch it again."

Moira MacDonald

Tomato
2.5/4

21 (2008)

"21 doesn't quite hit the jackpot, but with popcorn it should satisfy."

Moira MacDonald

Tomato
3/4

21 Grams (2003)

"Watching it is a wrenching experience; the usual layers of distance between actors and audience are stripped away, and we not only watch their anguish, but become part of it."

Moira MacDonald

Tomato
3/4

24 City (2009)

"With this moody and curiously effective follow-up to his critically acclaimed drama Still Life, director Jia Zhang-Ke paints another vivid portrait of China devastated by commercial 'progress.'"

Jeff Shannon

Tomato
3/4

24 Hour Party People (2002)

"Winterbottom, who rarely makes comedies ... nevertheless appreciates Coogan's richly comic portrait and lets him run with it."

John Hartl

Splat
2.5/4

25th Hour (2002)

"An intriguing misfire that nonetheless holds our interest, keeping us wondering about the movie that might have been."

Moira MacDonald

Splat
2/4

27 Dresses (2008)

"Well, if you can figure out how this story ends, you've probably got better things to do than watch 27 Dresses."

Moira MacDonald

Splat

28 Days (2000)

"28 Days tries too hard to be all things to all people."

Sharon Pian Chan

Tomato
2.5/4

28 Days Later (2003)

"It's unpleasant stuff, told without winks or humor, and it's so perfectly pitched that you can't take your eyes off it, even if this sort of hard-edged horror isn't exactly your cup of Diet Coke."

Moira MacDonald

Splat
2/4

28 Weeks Later (2007)

"The social commentary is as subtle as -- well, a George Romero movie."

Mark Rahner

Tomato
2.5/4

3 Extremes (2005)

"It's just three gifted filmmakers with vision to spare, daring you to go to their extremes."

Jeff Shannon

Splat

3 Strikes (2000)

"Pooh wastes a wonderful cast."

John Hartl

Tomato
3/4

3-Iron (2005)

"For the most part they achieve a delicate balancing act, mixing near-silent comedy with an old-fashioned sense of whimsy."

John Hartl

Tomato
3/4

30 Days of Night (2007)

"Fleshing out their minimalist story in a way that won't cause the blood to drain from fans' faces, it's one of the better recent efforts as both a comic adaptation and a fright flick."

Mark Rahner

Splat
2.5/4

300 (2007)

"Despite the fantastic visuals, action and sometimes rousing story, the needle flickers between grandiose and laughable -- in part because the film takes itself sooo relentlessly, slow-motion, music-swellin', see-you-in-hell seriously."

Mark Rahner

Tomato
3.5/4

3:10 to Yuma (2007)

"You don't need to be a fan of that near-extinct genre to enjoy the movie -- sold more as a faceoff between Alpha males Russell "Gladiator" Crowe and Christian "Batman" Bale -- but it may turn you into one."

Mark Rahner

Tomato
3.5/4

4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)

"The film emerges as a devastating personal drama, a suspenseful horror story and a powerful statement about life under a repressive regime."

Moira MacDonald

Splat
2/4

40 Days and 40 Nights (2002)

"A fluffy, dopey, but occasionally likable romantic comedy."

Moira MacDonald

Splat
2/4

The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)

"The 40-Year-Old Virgin disarms us -- it is, at its heart, a sweet-natured romantic comedy. Unfortunately, you have to clear away a fair bit of debris to find that heart."

Moira MacDonald

Tomato
4/4

49 Up (2006)

"I'll wait breathlessly for 56 Up, and hope this brave group will speak to the camera again; giving us the gift of a share in their lives."

Moira MacDonald

Tomato
3/4

5 Centimeters per Second (2007)

"As poet of heartbreak, Shinkai could be accused of treacly mush (the voice-overs are a bit florid, and the saccharine piano score doesn't help), but he's got a delicate touch with sentiment that will have receptive viewers reaching for a Kleenex."

Jeff Shannon

Splat
1.5/4

50 First Dates (2004)

"An awkward blend of date movie and preadolescent comedy."

Moira MacDonald

Tomato
3.5/4

500 Days of Summer (2009)

"A fresh July breeze among recent (and mostly stale) romantic-comedy offerings."

Moira MacDonald

Tomato
3.5/4

51 Birch Street (2006)

"It gradually turns into a vivid demonstration that truth can be stronger than fiction, and that compromise is necessary in any lasting relationship."

John Hartl

Tomato
3/4

5X2 (2005)

"Ozon, as he's shown in his many recent films (particularly Under the Sand), knows a thing or two about love and loss; 5x2 achingly demonstrates both."

Moira MacDonald

Tomato
3/4

6ixtynin9 (2004)

"It's Ratanaruang's stylish direction that recommends the movie."

Erik Lundegaard

Tomato

The 6th Day (2000)

"Both good and bad news. Good: It's a solid action movie. Bad: It feels like it could have been made five or 10 years ago. It feels stale."

Erik Lundegaard

Tomato
3.5/4

8 Mile (2002)

"The triumph here is that Hanson and screenwriter Scott Silver have found a fresh way to tell this story."

Moira MacDonald

Tomato
3.5/4

8 Women (2002)

"It's a big puffy French pastry of a movie: light, airy, silly, not especially memorable, but delicious while it lasts."

Moira MacDonald

Splat
1.5/4

88 Minutes (2008)

"The only enjoyable elements to this film are Pacino's impressively hardworking hair (no matter how bad Jack Gramm's day gets, his exuberant hair looks fabulous)."

Moira MacDonald

Splat
2/4

9 (2009)

"9 reaches the tedium threshold quite quickly."

Tom Keogh

Tomato
3/4

9 Songs (2005)

"It looks like what most young adults go through in the spirit of trust and limitlessness."

Tom Keogh
