Tomato 3/4 |
The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006) |
"The film draws upon news footage, old song recordings and interviews with his friends to craft a portrait in immense, rewarding detail." |
Phil Villarreal |
Splat 2/4 |
The Ultimate Gift (2007) |
"The ultimate gift to the bored audience comes when the end credits signify salvation." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 4/4 |
Umberto D. (1952) |
"De Sica takes a premise that drips with sentimentality and wipes all the sappiness away, leaving only raw action and subtle underlying emotion." |
Phil Villarreal |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Unaccompanied Minors (2006) |
"This is a silly, moderately funny fantasy fit for kids whose parents care about them too much to ever let them run around unsupervised at an airport." |

Under Siege 2 - Dark Territory (1995) |
"Run-of-the-mill Seagal. Could be better, could be worse." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 3/4 |
Under the Same Moon (2008) |
"More than once, the narrative may push you to tears, but the emotion Carlitos draws most effectively is not pity but awe. We should all be such great Americans." |

Splat 1.5/4 |
Underclassman (2005) |
"Cannon bounces through every frame hopped up with excess energy, rolling his eyes, spitting off rotten one-liners and overselling his blunt reactions to eye-splitting excess." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato |
Undercover Brother (2002) |
"His name is Undercover Brother, and he's one bad-mother-shut-your-mouth crime fighter - Dolemite and Shaft rolled into one." |

Underworld (2003) |
"slap it on the posters:
"NOT THAT BAD!"

Splat 1.5/4 |
Underworld: Evolution (2006) |
"There are absolutely no werewolf chicks to hang out with. The vampires have all the ladies, who leap around in tight leather and often partake in wild orgies in dark catacombs." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 3/4 |
Undisputed (2002) |
"Iceman-Hutchen is much more exciting, and much less expensive to watch, than Lewis-Tyson." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 4/4 |
Unfaithful (2002) |
"As in "Belle de Jour," sexuality both liberates and imprisons its characters, and the supposedly unconditional love between a husband and wife is tested to the limit." |
Phil Villarreal |
Splat 2.5/4 |
An Unfinished Life (2005) |
"You almost want to flip the screen over and see if there's a Hallmark logo imprinted on the other side." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 5/5 |
Unforgiven (1992) |
"A near-great Western, weakened only by overt revisionism." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
United 93 (2006) |
"You can practically taste the tepid cabin air and smell the hodgepodge of colognes and deodorants of the passengers stacked beside you. You eye the terrorists with angst. Once the hijack occurs, you feel the fear pulsing throughout the plane." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 3/4 |
The United States of Leland (2004) |
"The drama makes us yearn to discover the reason Leland killed the boy, but the point of the movie isn't to grant us a big revealment." |

Untraceable (2008) |
"Wow, can that Diane Lane work a wireless mouse. And she typed that Control ALT Delete with such authority! Oh, my -- what was that? -- she minimized a window and activated a program with a hot key!" |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Up (2009) |
"A Pixar pinnacle. That may seem like outlandish praise, given the animation studio's sterling tax record. But when was the last time you walked out of a Pixar movie simply giddy, as if you were high on computer-animated pixels?" |

Up for Grabs (2005) |
"Michael Wranovics wove a thrilling story out of the matchup with deft research, glowing humanity and inert humor." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Upside of Anger (2005) |
"The story develops with a mind of its own, free from convention and formula, and packs a heck of a twist at the end that does what a twist should do." |
Phil Villarreal |
Splat 2/4 |
Uptown Girls (2003) |
"Uptown Girls is supposed to be funny and emotionally wrenching, and the film certainly is, but for all the wrong reasons." |

Ushpizin (2005) |
"Fervent without edging over into preachiness, the film examines the humor that can be found in the lives of the bushy-bearded, curly-sideburns set who live by a strict interpretation of the Torah." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Usual Suspects (1995) |
"McQuarrie's script is a scurrying lizard of a yarn, scaly, swift and difficult to follow." |
