Splat
1.5/4

10,000 B.C. (2008)

"There have been funny movies about prehistoric times ... but for real gut-busting laughs, it's hard to top the ridiculousness of 10,000 B.C."

Sean Means

Splat
2.5/4

The 11th Hour (2007)

"The movie is presenting its case in such a uniformly insistent tone, as the directors pile on one voice of doom after another."

Sean Means

Splat
2.5/4

12 and Holding (2006)

"Cipriano and Cuesta push things too far, as the kids' behavior moves from merely obsessive to downright sociopathic."

Sean Means

Tomato
3/4

12:08 East of Bucharest (2007)

"Porumboiu's minimalist approach concentrates the movie's focus on its mournful characters, so disillusioned with their post-Communist life they question the history that led to it."

Sean Means

Splat
2/4

13 Going on 30 (2004)

"Whenever the movie veers toward ... complexity, it abruptly turns tail and runs, trailed by a cloud of '80s power-pop songs."

Sean Means

Tomato
3/4

1408 (2007)

"The ability of 1408 to raise goosebumps relies on Cusack's skill in making even the doubting Enslin appear genuinely terrified."

Sean Means

Tomato
3/4

16 Blocks (2006)

"When [Bruce Willis] tries - as he did in Sin City and does here - he really can be a strong actor."

Sean Means

Splat
2.5/4

17 Again (2009)

"Thomas Lennon, best known as the short-shorted Lt. Dangle on Reno 911!, steals every scene as Mike's dorky best friend."

Sean Means

Tomato
3/4

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

"Maybe it's the gas fumes talking, but 2 Fast 2 Furious is a real joy ride."

Sean Means

Splat
2/4

2012 (2009)

"There's nothing to root against, no recipient to rage against the dying of the light. There's only the spectacle of the world crumbling and the dreary aftermath of cleaning up what's left."

Sean Means

Tomato
3/4

21 (2008)

"21 blows the endgame when a jarring shift to a con-game finale turns an intriguing drama into just another popcorn movie - the movie equivalent of saying 'hit me' when you've got a 17 showing."

Sean Means

Tomato
3/4

21 Grams (2003)

"Iņarritu's hopscotching narrative threatens to load down the stellar acting from its stars."

Sean Means

Tomato
3.5/4

24 Hour Party People (2002)

"The [music] scene plays as a frenetic, ever-changing background for the always engaging and often enraging Wilson, who juggles legends, half-truths, exaggerations and baldfaced lies about the times and his part in them."

Sean Means

Splat
2.5/4

25th Hour (2002)

"The one sympathetic character in 25th Hour turns out to be the city about to benefit from the absence of this lowlife drug dealer."

Sean Means

Tomato
3.5/4

28 Days Later (2003)

"[Boyle's] choice of mostly unknown actors is so disturbingly effective that when we eventually come across Brendan Gleeson..., it's a relief just to see a familiar face."

Sean Means

Tomato
3.5/4

28 Weeks Later (2007)

"No mere sequel but a dark, daring and politically charged follow-up that dances on the edge of the apocalypse."

Sean Means

Splat
2.5/4

The 3 Rooms of Melancholia (2005)

"Honkasalo moves somberly and way too slowly through these three linked scenarios, and the droning score may induce sleep in the eyes of audience members."

Sean Means

Tomato
3/4

3-Iron (2005)

"Kim creates an offbeat (and almost entirely wordless) romance between misfits and finds beauty and tranquility in this strange form of domestic bliss."

Sean Means

Tomato
3/4

30 Days of Night (2007)

"Slade doesn't skimp on the gore, or on the disturbing imagery of these fast-moving vampires... hunting the townsfolks through the snow."

Sean Means

Tomato
3/4

300 (2007)

"The fascinating, fetishized battle scenes of 300 leave as many questions on the ground as drops of blood."

Sean Means

Tomato
3.5/4

3:10 to Yuma (2007)

"[Mangold] builds tension not only in the mano-a-mano scenes between Bale and Crowe, but also when throwing in a wild card, such as Mol's gentle Alice."

Sean Means

Splat
1.5/4

40 Days and 40 Nights (2002)

"Director Michael Lehmann cannot decide whether he is making a lewd and manic farce or a lovey-dovey romance."

Sean Means

Tomato
3.5/4

The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)

"What is surprising ... is how funny that raunchiness is, how sweet the romance bubbling under that raunch, and how utterly winning actor Steve Carell is in the title role."

Sean Means

Tomato
3.5/4

500 Days of Summer (2009)

"Together, [Gordon-Levitt and Deschanel] pull off the tough trick of making us root for their relationship to succeed and understand if it fails"

Sean Means

Splat
2/4

5X2 (2005)

"The reverse-chronology gimmick ends up only serving up a trite observation that lies and mistrust are a poor foundation for a marriage."

Sean Means

Splat
0/4

88 Minutes (2008)

"Movies this stupid usually have names like Pauly Shore or Larry the Cable Guy attached, not Al Pacino."

Sean Means

Splat
2/4

9 Songs (2005)

"Just a series of graphic but unerotic sex scenes ... too detached and generic to work as drama and too serious-minded and poorly lit to work as porn."

Sean Means
