Trade (2007)

Drama Rated R

"…occasionally uses exploitation to get you worked up about, well, exploitation."

Bank Job, The (2008)

Thriller Rated R

“No one is going mistake Jason Statham for Daniel Day-Lewis, but the action specialist still deserves better material than he’s usually given.

The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

Comedy Rated R

Forget Max Fischer – this is Wes Anderson’s opus. A sprawling tragicomedy about the resentment and possible reconciliation that drive the Tenenbaum family, this features Anderson and co-writer Owen Wilson at their most ambitious. The story just keeps spilling out of them. It’s as if they are pre-schoolers who have more to say when coloring

Darjeeling Limited, The (2007)

Comedy Rated R

“Brody…has a comedian’s gangly limbs and a tragedian’s melancholy face. For the tragicomedies of Wes Anderson, that’s a perfect combination.

Michael Clayton (2007)

Drama Rated R

"George Clooney does something unusual in Michael Clayton. He looks uncomfortable."

King of California, The (2007)

Drama Rated PG-13

"Douglas dives into the role with all the disheveled hair he can muster. Like his character, he’s searching for gold."

Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)

Horror Rated R

An arresting milieu can go a long way toward distinguishing your average, B-grade horror exercise, and Resident Evil: Extinction has just that with its post-apocalyptic landscapes of Utah and Nevada. This is Mad Max with zombies. Actually, it’s Mad Maxine, as Milla Jovovich reprises her Resident Evil role of Alice. A mythical lone figure battling

Good Luck Chuck (2007)

Romantic Comedy Rated R

“…wants to position itself as a first-date movie, but it’s a first-date movie for those who don’t believe in second ones.

Sydney White (2007)

Comedy Rated PG-13

“The filmmakers must have known the concept was a loser fairly early on, but they stubbornly plow ahead anyway. Sitting through the movie is like watching a car careen through a stop sign.

Lions for Lambs (2007)

Drama Rated R

“Even if you agree with the picture’s politics, Lions for Lambs is a prime example of loony Hollywood liberalism.

Recent Reviews

9 to 5 (1980)

Comedy Rated PG

“Parton’s smile wins 1,000 hearts and deflects twice as many harassing come-ons.”

Cure (1997)

Thriller Rated NR

“Like an unsettled mind, this is littered with background disturbances…”

It Ends (2026)

Horror Rated R

“A delectably malleable metaphor movie…”
