I Am Legend (2007) |
"One of the more creative presentations on [a] very worn theme despite the usual pathology to devour or infect humans." |

Splat 2.5/5 |
I Heart Huckabees (2004) |
"If it doesn't drown you in a tidal wave of self-questioning (bordering on the batty), it will spin you around in the clowny vortex of an alternative filmmaking universe." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 3/5 |
I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With (2007) |
"Disappointment followed by optimism is the name of Garlin's game. It's not going anywhere in particular, but getting there proves funny and harmless enough." |

Splat 2.5/5 |
I'm Not There (2007) |
"It doesn't strike me that this multi-metaphorical experiment succeeds in illuminating a soaring talent who keeps his private life private and has always denied the hungry press any hints about the meanings in his songs." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
I've Loved You So Long (2008) |
"The pace builds a degree of tedium, crying out for some cinematic elevation--though not at the expense of the character depth that is the film's sterling attribute." |
Jules Brenner |
Splat 3/5 |
I, Robot (2004) |
"A multi-villain axis of evil and a pulpy vision that feels machine-hacked." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Ice Harvest (2005) |
"Comedy director Harold Ramis achieves a showy, shadowy gang-who-couldn't -shoot-straight satire in a The Grifters cross with The Perfect Plan." |

Splat 2/5 |
Identity (2003) |
"This is more
Steven King than it is Alfred Hitchcock and the comparison points out the
difference between a master story teller and a supernatural
schlockmeister who pulls unseen demons out of the air to artificially contrive
the scenario." |
Jules Brenner |
Splat 3/5 |
If I Didn't Care (2007) |
"This noir murder story starts off with wandering aim and gets its sights lined up only slightly." |

The Illusionist (2006) |
"Screenplay exaggerations and misdirections aside, this is where entertainment lies." |
Jules Brenner |
Splat 2/5 |
Imaginary Heroes (2004) |
"Somebody slipped Hollywood a dysfunctional-family pill this year. This one requires a degree of patience and a taste for the low-key. In other words, it's for the art house." |

Tomato 3.5/5 |
In America (2003) |
"The Bolger sisters are the show. It's as though
everything else is the packaging for the gift of their performance." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
In Bruges (2008) |
"A jolly satiric romp with very astute talents in all departments, including the travel agent." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 3/5 |
In Good Company (2004) |
"The chemistry between Quaid and Helgenberger as husband and wife and between Quaid and Johansson as father and daughter is as good as you'll find these days." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
In July (2000) |
"Bleibtreu's almost too-innocent shy guy works, and his wider
familiarity will help sell the adventure, but it's his co-star who gives us the emotional mileage of the drive." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 4/5 |
In Search Of Beethoven (2009) |
"Reminds us that the person who wrote the Fifth and Ninth Symphonies wasn't residing on a plane somewhere beyond our gravity field." |

In the Cut (2003) |
"Campion creates a nearly lethal dose of emotion-deprivation, turning spine tickling dread into something nearly dreadful." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
In the Valley of Elah (2007) |
"Haggis, with an exemplary cast, explores shadowy secrets of men in the ranks with a determined brush, tipped with heart-piercing irony." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 3/5 |
In This World (2003) |
"You become absorbed in the drama of surviving the trip no matter what set it in motion or what may lie at its final destination to have justified it." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 3/4 |
The In-Laws (2003) |
"My advice here is: Don't listen to the critics. Get into the antic, sometimes silly mode of it, and let the belly laughs come!" |

An Inconvenient Truth (2006) |
"A flat earth was inconvenient to Papal authority in Galileo's time. Now, what heresy is Gore committing with a scientifically based argument against contributing further to relentlessly destructive natural forces?" |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Incredible Hulk (2008) |
"If the plot had as much muscle as the title character it would be a different story." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
The Incredibles (2004) |
"The "comics" of the 21st century--in the fullest sense of the
term. If you don't love it I've got a nice flat for you on Mars. Meanwhile, there's a new bonanza on the block." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) |

The Informant! (2009) |
"The lighter side of an unstable participant throwing a monkey wrench into the illicit gears of corporate power. It's a just-right tone that matches Damon's pitch-perfect one." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Inglourious Basterds (2009) |
"Satire and sanctimony -- Tarantino rules." |
Jules Brenner |

Inkheart (2009) |
"Doesn't fill us with a sufficient sense of awe for the spectacular visual concepts that we've come to expect in big-scale movie fantasy." |
Jules Brenner |
Splat 3/5 |
Innocent Voices (2004) |
"The boy's race against time and the desperation of a collapsing regime is passionately explored though, as a story, it doesn't exactly ignite passion." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Inside Deep Throat (2005) |
"The movie is pornographic. The documentary about the movie is pornographic. Is the review of the documentary pornographic?" |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Inside Man (2006) |
"The cop gets a lesson he never expected and we get a many layered, out-of-genre experience." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Intermission (2004) |
"A well-acted and interesting dark comedy, but the convoluted writing becomes the big drawback." |
Jules Brenner |

The Interpreter (2005) |
"Pollack can be counted on -- if not for a success every time out -- for a satisfying standard of intelligent dramatic depth with literary savvy." |

Into the Wild (2007) |
"Penn's 140 minute conveyance of the story is rambling and structurally unsteady but every essential ingredient is there, which we put together with a lingering impression of poetry and pain." |
