I Am Sam (2002) |
"Obscenely manipulative, ruthlessly intent on reducing its audience to snuffling marionettes." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato A- |
I Capture the Castle (2003) |
"These filmmakers have a deep appreciation for the source material, and if this sweet and funny film doesn't get lost in the dog days of summer, perhaps they will bring a new generation into the I Capture the Castle fold." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato B+ |
I Heart Huckabees (2004) |
"I enjoyed every moment. Huckabees is both absurd and densely rich." |
Mary F. Pols |
Splat 2/4 |
I Spy (2002) |
"I Spy is ample reminder that memorable comedy is, in its own way, as tricky to pull off as a good party." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato B+ |
I'm Not There (2007) |
"An experimental film that will delight, amuse and intrigue any Dylan lover." |
Mary F. Pols |
Splat C |
I, Robot (2004) |
"[A] self-important, derivative and muddled sci-fi thriller." |
Mary F. Pols |
Splat C+ |
Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) |
"Even though the animation sparkles, the screenplay is dull and in desperate need of some punching up." |
Randy Myers |
Tomato B- |
The Ice Harvest (2005) |
"It's not a good movie, but it is one that provides guilty relief for a dad or mom sick of watching The Santa Clause for the umpteenth time." |
Randy Myers |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Idlewild (2006) |
"So playful and vibrant that even when it stumbles, as it does fairly frequently, it's still an enjoyable spectacle." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Igby Goes Down (2002) |
"Follows so closely in the footsteps of Catcher in the Rye that it can hardly fail to please the myriad fans of that book." |
Mary F. Pols |
Splat |
Imaginary Heroes (2004) |
"This is bad first novel material, derivative and lightweight." |
Mary F. Pols |
Splat 2/4 |
Importance of Being Earnest (2002) |
"Dull and poorly paced." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato |
In America (2003) |
"The movie is so lovely and gently nostalgic that you're likely to regard it with the same loving patience you do Uncle Willy after he's had a few glasses too many of the old eggnog." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato 3/4 |
In Good Company (2004) |
"This is Grace's biggest part to date and he embraces it, making Carter unexpectedly and believably vulnerable, particularly in his scenes with Johansson." |
Mary F. Pols |
Splat 2/4 |
In Her Shoes (2005) |
"Despite some strong performances and funny parts, including a wedding shower gone bad, the movie never seems to find the right fit." |
Randy Myers |
Tomato 3/4 |
In July (2000) |
"The freshest road movie to come along in quite some time." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato |
In the Bedroom (2001) |
"The intelligent screenplay, co-written by Field and Rob Festinger, is beautifully real." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato A |
In the Shadow of the Moon (2007) |
"If An Inconvenient Truth was the hard lesson about what we've fouled up on Earth, In the Shadow of the Moon is the gentle reminder of what we're capable of achieving and what truly matters." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato 3/4 |
An Inconvenient Truth (2006) |
"Gore's one-man global road show manages to both stagger and humble viewers with an accessible mix of data and evidence." |
Randy Myers |
Tomato B+ |
The Incredibles (2004) |
"The Incredibles is Spy Kids by way of the Jetsons, with that reliable Pixar blend of intelligence and beautiful craftsmanship." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Infamous (2006) |
"I walked out of Infamous and across the street into a bookstore, where I purchased both Plimpton's book and Gerald Clarke's biography, which served as the basis for Capote. Clearly, the fascination has not yet been quelled." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato A- |
Inglourious Basterds (2009) |
"A brawny, rollicking mash-up that is a passionate exploration of the power of filmmaking from one of our finest directors and writers." |
Randy Myers |
Tomato |
Innocence (2001) |
"A gift, not just to senior citizens typically marginalized in films, but to younger viewers who wonder what lies ahead for all of us." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato 3/4 |
Innocent Voices (2004) |
"Innocent Voices is executed with such unbridled passion and conviction that we overlook its excesses and succumb to its dramatic story." |
Randy Myers |
Tomato B |
Inside Deep Throat (2005) |
"If you haven't seen the iconic Deep Throat, it hardly seems necessary after seeing the documentary." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato |
Inside Man (2006) |
"In a way this film does for Lee what Match Point did for Woody Allen: It shows that the creative fire still burns in the belly of its maker." |
Randy Myers |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Insomnia (2002) |
"Pacino fans ought to go nuts for this performance, since it's one of his best in years." |
Mary F. Pols |
Splat 2/4 |
The Interpreter (2005) |
"It has about it the diligence of a straight-A student, the kind who, when he or she raises a hand to answer a question yet again, the teacher gives an internal sigh. Being beyond reproach lacks excitement." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato B- |
Interview (2007) |
"Any questions about Miller's abilities as an actress should be set to rest by this performance." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato 3/4 |
Into the Wild (2007) |
"Where Penn shines most is in his level of commitment. To show us where McCandless really was, he shot in at least 30 locations all over the country." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato A- |
Intolerable Cruelty (2003) |
"Reminds us how good romantic comedy can be, but interestingly enough, it's not a particularly romantic movie." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato B+ |
Invictus (2009) |
"An intelligent crowd-pleaser anchored by an Oscar-worthy performance from Freeman and directed with invigorating gusto by one of our top film pros." |
Randy Myers |
Tomato 4/4 |
Iris (2001) |
"It creates a common mourning ground for all of us to reflect on this disease." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato |
Iron Monkey (1993) |
"The action is flabbergasting." |
Vera H-C Chan |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Island (2005) |
"This is precisely the kind of fun, trashy summer movie that makes you want to plunge both hands into a enormous bucket of popcorn." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato B+ |
The Italian Job (2003) |
"I know that a life of crime is bad and a Mini Cooper somewhat impractical, but after The Italian Job I wanted to indulge in both, very badly." |
Mary F. Pols |
