$9.99 (2009)

"It’s a sleepy film, both in its consciously low-key execution and in its startling flashes of dreamlike whimsy."

Tasha Robinson

Tomato
B-

(Untitled) (2009)

"Shelton’s radiant performance as the brothers’ elusive object of desire helps rescue (Untitled) from an occasional listlessness that comes as a consequence of Parker’s nuanced, gentle jabs at the art world."

Scott Tobias

10 Items or Less (2006)

"[Morgan] Freeman is clearly enjoying himself, but his charisma and heavyweight presence can't quite redeem this featherweight concoction."

Nathan Rabin

Splat
C-

10,000 B.C. (2008)

"Emmerich knows how to fill the screen with spectacle, but not how to field-marshal it."

Keith Phipps

Splat
C-

10th & Wolf (2006)

"Anyone who's seen a mob movie or TV show in the past 30 years has pretty much seen 10th & Wolf."

Noel Murray

Splat
D

The 11th Hour (2007)

"The 11th Hour is slick and passionate, but neither persuasive nor helpful; it's a headache of a film directed like an Errol Morris project, but with half the substance. It's clearly preaching to the choir, but even they may find it off-key."

Tasha Robinson

Tomato
B-

12 (2007)

"Rarely has the voyeuristic appeal of sitting on a jury been so cleverly expressed."

Noel Murray

Splat
D

12 and Holding (2006)

"The surface slickness ultimately makes Twelve And Holding awful."

Noel Murray

12 Angry Men (1957)

Splat
C+

12 Rounds (2009)

"There’s something strangely charming about films that are all artifice, explosions, and naked calculation. 12 Rounds is at least honest trash: It never pretends to be anything other than manic schlock."

Nathan Rabin

A-

12:08 East of Bucharest (2007)

"Porumboiu starts off making a mordant slice of life, but he gradually entwines the personal and the historical, then ends on a poignant note. The story and situation are slight, but in the best possible way."

Noel Murray

Tomato
B

13 Tzameti (2006)

"In a way, 13 (Tzameti) is a nearly gore-free take on Hostel, another film ... about desperate attempts to survive in a place that's simultaneously culturally and geographically alien."

Tasha Robinson

Splat
C

1408 (2007)

"1408 amounts to little more than a radical shock-therapy session for a man still finding his way after the loss of his daughter. Best to leave him alone with his issues."

Scott Tobias

Splat
C

16 Blocks (2006)

"An action thriller exactly like every other."

Nathan Rabin

Tomato
B

17 Again (2009)

"With plenty of help from a fine supporting cast, Efron deftly handles the fish-out-of-water hijinks and slips through more icky May-September romantic entanglements than an average season of Friday Night Lights."

Scott Tobias

Tomato
B

2 Days In Paris (2007)

"For all the verbal jokery, it's more tragedy than farce."

Tasha Robinson

Tomato
B

2 or 3 Things I Know About Him (2007)

"Even though 2 Or 3 Things' central irony is blunt, [director] Ludin's tone remains measured throughout, and never self-serving."

Noel Murray

Tomato

2009 Academy-Award Nominated Short Films (2009)

"This year’s entries are so strong that it’s hard to pick and choose; for once, they’re all worth seeing, and the Academy will have its work cut out for it in selecting a winner."

Tasha Robinson

Splat
D

2012 (2009)

"Independence Day began a game of landmark-destroying one-upmanship. Here, Emmerich takes the competition global, but the soundtrack’s organ-rattling low-end makes a deeper impact than the film’s visuals."

Keith Phipps

Tomato

2046 (2005)

"As memorable and emotionally intense as any of Wong's films. It's a mood as much as a movie."

Keith Phipps

Splat
C-

21 (2008)

"Before sinking into a predictable morality tale, 21 coasts on the superficial thrill of watching casinos take a few hits, but gamblers looking for a how-to lesson on winning in Vegas will be putting their pencils down pretty quickly."

Scott Tobias

Splat
C+

24 City (2009)

"Mostly, 24 City falls into the same Jia trap of inadvertently drawing the viewers’ gaze past his human subjects and to the poetic images of a country in painful metamorphosis."

Scott Tobias

Splat
C

27 Dresses (2008)

"Made 10 years ago, it probably would have starred a vacationing cast member from Friends."

Keith Phipps

Tomato
B+

28 Weeks Later (2007)

"Under Fresnadillo's assured direction, 28 Weeks Later blurs the line between genre entertainment and a photojournalist's shots of the next urban catastrophe."

Scott Tobias

3 Extremes (2005)

"A strong effort from everyone involved, though they're not all wholly successful."

Scott Tobias

Splat

3 Needles (2006)

"The situations are contrived, the ironies are cheap, and the dialogue is overly blunt."

B-

30 Days of Night (2007)

"Director David Slade takes the film adaptation halfway home by getting the look exactly right."

Scott Tobias

Splat
C

300 (2007)

"Part of the fascination of the Thermopylae story is that it really happened, and it helped define real heroism. There's nothing remotely like reality to be had in this film."

Tasha Robinson

Tomato

35 Shots of Rum (2009)

3:10 to Yuma (2007)

"Mangold delivers a taut modern take on a lesser classic, preserving the High Noon themes about doing the right thing against all odds, and injecting a more modern pacing and urgency without going overboard."

Tasha Robinson

Splat
C

4 (2006)

"In spite of a handful of striking images%u2014a shot of dogs being scared off by pile-drivers, a spooky aquarium-cleaning, a drunken party in which withered old ladies lift their shirts and slap each others' breasts%u20144 never resolves into anything spe"

4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)

"Captures the tenor of a particular era with uncanny force."

Scott Tobias

Tomato

The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)

"Apatow genuinely loves his hero, and the film's innate sweetness carries it through the rough patches of a funny comedy with a central relationship that isn't particularly funny."

Nathan Rabin

49 Up (2006)

"If the purpose of the Up series has been to show how class determines destiny in the UK, then what we've actually learned is that everyone there gets a fair shot to make it to the middle."

B-

500 Days of Summer (2009)

"It goes down smoothly, thanks in large part to Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s grounded lead performance and Marc Webb’s slick direction, but it seems like every other scene coughs up a dispiriting cliché."

Scott Tobias

Splat
C-

51 Birch Street (2006)

"Ultimately, the film reveals more about Block than about his private, remote mother and father."

Tomato

7 Plus Seven (1970)

"By 7 Plus Seven, the personality differences are so clear that they throw the earlier interviews into a new light, and the number of children who accurately predicted their futures and future interests is remarkable."

Tasha Robinson
