Lady in the Water (2006) |

Splat |
The Lake House (2006) |
"She’s in the future. He’s in the past. Jack the Dog, straddles both dimensions. What’s next? A love story framed by the Reimann Hypothesis?

The Last House on the Left (2009) |
"Terrifying. Director Iliadis burns tension and Garret Dillahunt still scares me. Makes Ned Beatty's Deliverance rape look like a romance." |

The Last King of Scotland (2006) |
"Powerful drama with Whitaker’s performance a career peak.

The Legend of Zorro (2005) |

Lions for Lambs (2007) |
"Everyone sits and pontificates. It's one long speech. Too many words." |
Victoria Alexander |
Tomato |
Little Miss Sunshine (2006) |

Victoria Alexander |
Splat |
Love in the Time of Cholera (2007) |
"Beloved book, lousy movie. He ages to 72, she stops at 35.
He stays virile, she crumbles. He cries while having sex with 600 women. He’s the only stud in the country." |

Lucky You (2007) |
"Barrymore finds love with a degenerate gambler and proves she cannot act. Easily ruins the movie with no chemistry with Bana.
