10 Questions for the Dalai Lama (2007) |
"The film never rises above the spiritual or intellectual level of a TV news anchor. It is a dispiriting film to watch, if you have any real interest in the subject." |
Richard Nilsen |

13 Going on 30 (2004) |
"Garner is supposed to have a teenage mentality, but she marches around with preternaturally good posture and speaks her lines as if she's still auditioning for the part." |

The 13th Floor (1999) |
"The kind of science fiction you ruminate over." |
Bob Fenster |
Tomato 4/5 |
1408 (2007) |
"The story features some surprises, and director Mikael Håfström adds realism by bypassing computer graphics for practical effects. Add in the natural fear of being trapped in tight spaces and you have a can't-miss formula for horror and suspense." |

16 Blocks (2006) |
"It's standard, familiar fare: Take away the profanity and swap Bruce Willis with Richard Crenna, and you would have a perfect CBS movie of the week, circa 1982." |
Randy Cordova |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
17 Again (2009) |
"The kid may not be the next Sean Penn, but he is definitely a movie star." |

2 Brothers & a Bride (2003) |
"This is one case where the director would have been better off pointing his camera at real subjects. The truth, in this case, is almost sure to be stranger than the fiction." |

2 Days In Paris (2007) |
"The last time I laughed so hard at a movie, it was Nigel Tufnel telling us his amplifier went to 11." |

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) |
"2 Fast 2 Furious is that rare film that's perfectly described by one of its co-stars' names: Ludacris." |

200 Cigarettes (1999) |
"You should be able to quash this one with no cravings to ever pick it up again." |

2012 (2009) |
"It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel...like I have a headache." |

2046 (2005) |
"Wong offers an artful meditation on the nature of love, making effective use of color schemes (yellows, greens and reds), placid shotmaking and diverse music to deliver a sultry portrait of postwar Hong Kong." |

"It's funny how movies based on real stories can be the most formulaic and predictable." |
Kerry Lengel |
Tomato 5/5 |
21 Grams (2003) |
"Every year needs a challenging masterwork, a movie that defies filmmaking convention and leaves an indelible mark on the collective psyche." |

27 Dresses (2008) |
"If 27 Dresses were part of a wedding reception, it wouldn't be the bouquet toss, but it wouldn't be the Chicken Dance, either. It's more like the cake: mass-produced, maybe a little too sweet but enjoyable all the same." |
Suzanne Condie Lambert |

28 Days Later (2003) |
"Has enough chills and thrills -- as well as plenty of nearly dead creatures -- to rank among the scariest and most ingenious horror movies in recent memory." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
28 Weeks Later (2007) |
"Like 28 Days Later, this movie boasts a chilling atmosphere. The first film had a nightmarish "Could this really happen?" vibe running through it, boosted by the jittery photography and naturalistic acting. The new movie shares that feeling." |
Randy Cordova |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
3-Iron (2005) |
"What is so engaging about the film is the way its director, Ki-duk Kim, manages to keep our interest intensely focused on the couple." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 4/5 |
30 Days of Night (2007) |
"This is a full-on, non-stop horror film. You're either on the bus or off the bus. But if you are on, you're hanging on with both hands and your hair flying back for the better part of the movie." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
300 (2007) |
"In creating the ultimate movie for sword-and-sandal blood-spatter fetishists, director Zack Snyder scores on the spectacle side -- 300 looks amazing -- but his mechanical story line and over-the-top melodramatics don't support the action." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
3:10 to Yuma (2007) |
"May not shake all the cowbells off the genre, but it kicks up plenty of dust." |

40 Days and 40 Nights (2002) |
"It won't take 40 days and 40 nights to forget this turkey." |

Tomato 4.5/5 |
The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005) |
"A nostalgic, sentimental and wholly bawdy comedy that will make you laugh until your sides hurt." |

50 First Dates (2004) |
"A drab Groundhog Day retread." |

8 Mile (2002) |
"the Profane One's performance in 8 Mile is more Britney than Brando. As with Ms. Belly Button in the vapid Crossroads, Eminem plays himself, albeit a cleaned-up, deep-thinking, saintlike version." |

8MM (1998) |
"Has none of the mystery or suspense that helped Seven rise above the filth in which it sought to wallow." |
Bob Fenster |
Splat 2.5/5 |
9 (2009) |
"It's too scary for small kids and, frankly, too dreary for everyone else. The most intriguing question it asks is what Acker will do next." |
