Splat 1.5/4 |
I Am Legend (2007) |
"It looks like poor old Richard Matheson will go to his grave without ever seeing a movie that does justice to his great 1954 novel, I Am Legend." |
Mark Rahner |
Splat |
I Am Sam (2002) |
"So drenched in sweetness that it's devoid of reality, and so free of leavening flavors that, despite some good performances, it's ultimately sickening." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (2002) |
"A tuneful, heartfelt tale of artistic struggle and eventual triumph." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Have Never Forgotten You (2007) |
"It's an exercise in hero worship that couldn't be more justified, even though Wiesenthal would have been modestly embarrassed by the honor." |
Jeff Shannon |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Heart Huckabees (2004) |
"I don't quite know what the point of it all was, but I do know that I enjoyed watching it." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2.5/4 |
I Love You, Man (2009) |
"Smarter than it looks from its ubiquitous trailer, but not smart enough to be a fully satisfying adult comedy." |
Tom Keogh |
Splat 2/4 |
I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007) |
"For the most part, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry plods along predictably, well-intentioned but only sporadically entertaining." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
I Served the King of England (2008) |
"The film's whirl of history can be a bit vague at times, but that's a forgivable fault when your senses are so delightfully overwhelmed." |
Jeff Shannon |
Splat 1/4 |
I Spy (2002) |
"As inept as big-screen remakes of The Avengers and The Wild Wild West." |
Mark Rahner |
Splat 1.5/4 |
I Think I Love My Wife (2007) |
"I Think I Love My Wife has little to say and it doesn't have enough laughs to work as pure comedy. Rock the writer/director isn't doing Rock the actor any favors here, nor is he doing many for the audience." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2004) |
"Those with the patience to adapt to its pace will find rewards." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
I'm Going Home (2002) |
"Stylistically adventurous." |
John Hartl |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
I'm Not Scared (2004) |
"Both atmospheric thriller and heartbreaking coming-of-age tale." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
I'm Not There (2007) |
"The film is bracingly original; it's also mystifying, overlong and at times nearly incoherent. Floating at a distance from its audience, it creates its own smoky logic." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
I've Loved You So Long (2008) |
"An uneven new French film that plays like a companion piece to the recent British drama Boy A." |
John Hartl |
Splat 1.5/4 |
I, Robot (2004) |
"Substandard Will Smith action-hero vehicle." |
Doug Kim |
Tomato 3/4 |
I.O.U.S.A. (2008) |
"If this week's headlines have failed to convince you that the United States is on the verge of an economic meltdown, Patrick Creadon's scary new documentary, I.O.U.S.A., will demolish any lingering doubts." |
John Hartl |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ice Age (2002) |
"... cute, pleasant, unadventurous." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) |
"Even new scenes involving the once-hilarious Scrat, the hapless critter who can't hold onto an acorn, feel worn out. That's when you know it's time to go." |
Tom Keogh |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) |
"The film feels visually richer than its predecessor, but has the same brand of uncomplicated all-ages charm." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2/4 |
The Ice Harvest (2005) |
"As a feel-bad holiday comedy, The Ice Harvest sometimes recalls Thornton's own Bad Santa, though it's never as outrageously funny, and Thornton doesn't get nearly as much to do." |
John Hartl |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ice People (2009) |
"The director, Anne Aghion, likes to fill the screen with the kinds of lonely landscapes that David Lean once used to suggest another kind of desert." |
John Hartl |
Splat 2/4 |
Ice Princess (2005) |
"If you want the real deal, stay home and catch the world championships on ESPN this weekend." |
Emily Russin |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Identity (2003) |
"Deserves credit for at least trying something fresh in the psychological-thriller realm, and for the mood of goofball creepiness it creates." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
Idlewild (2006) |
"Comic, dramatic, highly conceptual and all great fun." |
Ted Fry |
Splat 2/4 |
Igby Goes Down (2002) |
"Like its hero, the film seems unformed and rambling, more like a rough draft than a finished product." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Illusion (2004) |
"There's a sincerity to the filmmaking here that's at times quite touching: Illusion presents a portrait of true love that's as picture perfect as the sunny spring garden in which we see Isabelle." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Illusionist (2006) |
"While Burger's screenplay isn't always graceful, the movie's lovely enough that you might not notice." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2/4 |
Imaginary Heroes (2004) |
"Enlivened by some good performances, but it's ultimately overfamiliar and slow, and its characters feel like they were dreamed up by a screenwriter -- no one ever seems to breathe real air." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Imaginary Witness: Hollywood and the Holocaust (2004) |
"Anker's film is an important one, shining a light on that red stain and how we saw it filtered through Hollywood's lens." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2/4 |
Imagine Me & You (2006) |
"The characters never really emerge as individuals; they're pretty puppets, moving through their prescribed paces." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
Imagine That (2009) |
"If there were any doubts that Murphy can still be as boldly funny and charismatic in the flesh as he has been when providing the voice of Donkey in the Shrek franchise, Imagine That helps allay them." |
Tom Keogh |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
IMAX - Jane Goodall's Wild Chimpanzees (2002) |
"Both a beautifully made nature film and a tribute to a woman whose passion for this region and its inhabitants still shines in her quiet blue eyes." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato |
Importance of Being Earnest (2002) |
"Even half-baked, "Earnest" is still delicious." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat |
Impostor (2001) |
"It's another clone that looks good but has no soul." |
Mark Rahner |
Tomato 3/4 |
In a Dream (2009) |
"Call it forgiveness or codependency, but this highly personal film speaks to all of us in the universal languages of art and love." |
Jeff Shannon |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
In America (2003) |
"In America, on paper, sounds dangerously close to sentimentality, but Sheridan keeps the movie's tone just off-kilter enough to avoid it." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
In Bruges (2008) |
"A kind of eccentric, wisecracking Waiting for Godot that shifts gears into a bloody, unpredictable action spectacle that never loses its heart." |
Mark Rahner |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
In Good Company (2004) |
"Ultimately, this workplace fairy tale creates its own cheer. When its time is up, you'll feel like you've been in good company." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2.5/4 |
In Her Shoes (2005) |
"In Her Shoes is aimed squarely at a demographic -- grown-up women -- who aren't often catered to by Hollywood, and it's competent and sometimes charming. But there's a soap-opera blandness to it that even the gifted cast can't overcome." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2.5/4 |
In My Skin (2003) |
"Like most stories about addiction, it turns into a bit of a bore." |
John Hartl |
Tomato 3/4 |
In Praise of Love (2001) |
"In Praise of Love can bore you to tears at times -- yet leave you in awe." |
Misha Berson |
Tomato 3/4 |
In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008) |
"Writer/director Alex Holdridge maintains the intrigue of Wilson and Vivian's dance through a combination of naturalistic dialogue and a magical-realist style." |
Ted Fry |
Tomato 3/4 |
In Search of Mozart (2006) |
"The film effectively usurps the images left by Milos Forman's artful yet not entirely factually accurate Amadeus." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato |
In the Bedroom (2001) |
"Quite simply, it's exquisite filmmaking." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
In the Cut (2003) |
"It's not for everyone, but I couldn't take my eyes away." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2/4 |
In the Land of Women (2007) |
"In the Land of Women is a pretty enough place to visit (particularly the design-mag interiors of Ryan's character's home, all precisely coordinated to match her eyes), but as a movie it appears to have nothing to say." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
In the Loop (2009) |
"Political satire is a rare bird at the cinema, so fans of the genre should watch and savor Armando Iannucci's In the Loop -- a rapid-fire, profane celebration of the art (and artlessness) of spin." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato |
In the Mood for Love (2001) |
"Surrender yourself to Wong's intentions and the effect, like love at its most heady, is narcotic." |
Melanie McFarland |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
In The Pit (2007) |
"If you've ever been fascinated by a large and complex construction site, Juan Carlos Rulfo's oddly affecting documentary may offer a kind of blue-collar bliss." |
Jeff Shannon |
