Tomato 3/4 |
I Am Legend (2007) |
"I Am Legend is a frightening film. What gets under your skin, though, has nothing to do with the conventional horror elements." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Am Sam (2002) |
"Thoughtful and emotionally rewarding, I Am Sam works more successfully than it has any right to." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Heart Huckabees (2004) |
"A one-of-a-kind original. Those courageous enough to give it a try will find their efforts rewarded, at times in the most unexpected of ways." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) |
"A respectable, smartly-scripted slasher film that firmly proved good horror movies were once again being made." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
I Know Who Killed Me (2007) |
"The images, flooded in deep blues and reds, are vibrant and just plain gorgeous, turning even empty moments into chances to aesthetically wow the viewer." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009) |
"An honest, earnest, dryly cutting coming-of-age comedy. Travels down a road of nostalgia that accurately portrays that very specific moment in a person's life when he or she realizes high school—and childhood—is over for good." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat .5/4 |
I Love You, Man (2009) |
"Charmless and abysmally unfunny from one end to the next, condescension and desperation seeping from its filmic pores. At this early date in March, it is the year's first lock for December's annual worst list." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007) |
"So much of it hinges on depicting a person's gay lifestyle as a punchline that the third act's aim for political correctness feels hypocritical and dishonest." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Spit on Your Grave (1978) |
"One of the most underrated motion pictures ever made." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
I Spy (2002) |
"A rather dismal, glaringly formulaic action-comedy." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998) |
"The ending of the film inevitably leaves the door wide open for a third part, but judging from this amazingly lackluster first sequel, everyone involved should have quit while they were still ahead." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
I Woke Up Early the Day I Died (1998) |
"Like all of the films Ed Wood directed, this new movie is a pure and simple dud." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
I'll Be Home For Christmas (1998) |
"Nothing that occurred in it was earthshaking or shocking or particularly inventive, but it was well-done, all the same, and I really did like it." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
I, Robot (2004) |
"Some of the most convincing and lifelike visual effects in movie history. This is a wide-scope sci-fi thriller done right." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Ice Age (2002) |
"... slight and harmless, but little else." |
|
Splat 2/4 |
Ice Age (2002) |
"In the annals of big-budget, modern-day animated excursions, Ice Age is one of the lesser efforts." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) |
"The third and easily most haggard entry in the disposable franchise." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) |
"Forgettable, completely harmless, sporadically amusing, and not at all ready to go up against the real masters at Pixar and Disney." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
The Ice Harvest (2005) |
"The Ice Harvest has talent to spare in front of the camera, but isn't nearly as smart or sharp as it would like to be." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Ice Princess (2005) |
"Ice Princess sticks closely to the mold of other sports flicks, but there is a tenderness and refreshing lack of compromise assembled from its spare parts." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
An Ideal Husband (1999) |
"Leave it up to director Oliver Parker's An Ideal Husband, based loosely on famed 19th-century writer Oscar Wilde's play, to prove that all a period film needs to jump vibrantly to life is a remarkable cast." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 4/4 |
Identity (2003) |
"A surprisingly challenging and rewarding motion picture experience, as ruminous and unforgettable as it is thrillingly spooky and suspenseful." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Idle Hands (1999) |
"It may not be a great movie, but it's one of the most amusing times I've had at the multiplex this whole year." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Idlewild (2006) |
"The genre-smashing Idlewild brings welcome new life to the familiar." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Igby Goes Down (2002) |
"As uneven as the first act is, the third act is just as remarkable...the picture slyly sneaks up on you." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Igor (2008) |
"A blind children's chorus singing 'I Can See Clearly Now' is among the highlights of this otherwise forgettable animated feature." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
The Illusionist (2006) |
"Slow-moving and limited in scope...Seems more suited for cable than theatrical exhibition" |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Imagine That (2009) |
"Isn't so much offensively bad as it is offensively, soul-suckingly ordinary. It is safe to say the young ones will be far from riveted by a film set in the world of investment firms and financial bigwigs." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Impostor (2001) |
"May not be the cinematic abortion I expected, but it does resemble a C-section--the outcome turns out just fine, but it still leaves a big, old mess in its wake." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
In Bruges (2008) |
"A bravura, genre-twisting gem. This is one picture that packs a wallop." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1/4 |
The In Crowd (2000) |
"A thoroughly disposable psycho-thriller aimed at the teen demographic, and one of the very worst theatrical films of its type in recent memory." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
In Dreams (1998) |
"One of the most consistently disturbing, surprising, and visually beautiful motion pictures I have seen this decade." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
In Good Company (2004) |
"A slice-of-life so purely amiable and astute in its portrayal of the cutthroat corporate world that it is easy to overlook a great many flaws in its design." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
In Her Shoes (2005) |
"A smart and surprisingly rewarding gem with resonating themes and ideas, In Her Shoes is episodic mainstream filmmaking done right." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
In the Bedroom (2001) |
"The ending has not been clearly thought out by director [Todd] Field, leaving the strength of the picture--the top-notch performances--to appear even more impressive." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 4/4 |
In the Cut (2003) |
"A major cinematic achievement--simultaneously heartbreaking, frightening, unpredictable, sexy, grim, provocative and eerily plausible." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
In the Land of Women (2007) |
"A poignant study in empathy and, ultimately, rebirth." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 0.5/4 |
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008) |
"In the Name of the King would be irredeemable if not for its near-brilliant ability to give the viewer douche chills for 127 solid minutes." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
In the Valley of Elah (2007) |
"A penetrating, lacerating, angry-as-hell condemnation against the incalculably devastating cost of war as it pertains to both those fighting in it and those consequently affected by it back home." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 0/4 |
The In-Laws (2003) |
"The In-Laws is unredeemable filmmaking, an unfunny, egotistical, idiotic dead-zone of a movie with nary a glimpse of energy or genuine heart." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
An Inconvenient Truth (2006) |
"Has its heart in the right place but overall the film stands as a one-track doomsday warning with too little substance to achieve its intended effect." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
The Incredible Hulk (2008) |
"What is so disappointing about the film is how much of a lesser experience it is than Ang Lee's Hulk." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Incredibles (2004) |
"Boundlessly enjoyable, extravagant to look at, and a frequent adrenaline rush." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) |
"An entertaining and inventive ride tailor-made for the summer movie season." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Infamous (2006) |
"Whereas Capote was cold and atmospheric and almost surgical in its storytelling, Infamous is told in a more accessible and emotionally gratifying manner." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Informant! (2009) |
"Repetitive to the point of supreme annoyance, The Informant! would have been better informed with a page-one rewrite." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Informers (2009) |
"Aesthetically pretty, subjectively ugly, and emotionally incisive, the picture celebrates the passing of a not-so-innocent era and mourns the victims left in its wake." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 4/4 |
Inglourious Basterds (2009) |
"Fierce, fascinating, literate, ballsy, shocking, whimsical, devastating, brazenly inventive, and nothing less than wholly hypnotic." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Inkheart (2009) |
"The finished product teases, but does not fulfill, with what could have been. Having seen Inkheart only days ago, its details have already begun to fade from memory. Great literature and cinema is not this easily forgotten." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 4/4 |
Inland Empire (2006) |
"Inland Empire isn't just a brilliant motion picture; it's a work of staggering art." |
