Box Office: $70,503,491
Scott SycamoreMarch 19, 2006
We have a true cinematic Vendetta...The film has myriad flaws of course, but they are not egregious enough to capsize a full sense of enjoyment. Chow down for England.
'Brick' Movie Review (A-)Craig YounkinMarch 18, 2006
Johnson has done his homework and delivered something that's cool, fun, clever, and never lets up in excitement.
'Inside Man' Movie Review (C)Lee TistaertMarch 18, 2006
Absolutely ordinary...This is a very by-the-numbers crime thriller in which Denzel Washington plays a hostage negotiator.
'V for Vendetta' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinMarch 16, 2006
As entertainment, "V" disappoints the most. It is too bogged down in politics rather than in action.
'Thank You for Smoking' Movie Review (B)Lee TistaertMarch 16, 2006
Thank You for Smoking doesn?t go as far as it could in terms of edgy material, but is still a nicely-done intellectual comedy.
'She's the Man' Movie Review (D+)Craig YounkinMarch 15, 2006
This is a really tired transgender formula, and the gags are certainly old enough to fail with everyone except the really young girls this thing is aimed at.
'Ask the Dust' Movie Review (C)Lee TistaertMarch 12, 2006
Just picture Colin Farrell trying to be Jack Nicholson without any political intrigue and without a plot to run on; you?ve got yourself Robert Towne?s latest.
'16 Blocks' Movie Review (D)Craig YounkinFebruary 28, 2006
This movie is filled with cliches like the drunken rundown cop, the motor-mouth accomplice; the reliance on the clock to tell us how much time is left before the deadline.
'A Scanner Darkly' Movie Review (B-)Lee TistaertFebruary 27, 2006
The film works terrifically on a technical level, but unfortunately there?s the sense that Linklater could be giving these actors more to do.
'Running Scared' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinFebruary 23, 2006
This movie is an incredibly bloody, brutal, guns-blazing good time, excessive in almost every form...making it the year's first hardcore guilty pleasure action flick.
'Night Watch' Movie Review (C)Lee TistaertFebruary 19, 2006
Some have labeled this film as a total mind job, but it?s a mind job in the worst of ways; you?re never quite sure what's going on, who people are, or what the purpose of this story.
'Eight Below' Movie Review (B-)Craig YounkinFebruary 14, 2006
While it's a story that really does deserve to be told, at the same time Disney doesn't tell it as well as they could...This flick is your standard Disney material.
'Freedomland' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinFebruary 10, 2006
Price has managed to do what last year's overblown, stereotype-riddled Crash never could, in that he has zeroed in on humanity at its best and worst, its ugliness and its saving graces.
'Cache' Movie Review (B)Lee TistaertFebruary 9, 2006
To call this film a ?thriller? is almost misleading; it?s a quiet mystery. Most of its impact comes indirectly through what is not shown, which creates quite a punch.
'Firewall' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinFebruary 8, 2006
The cast is good and the movie is not without a few scenes of kick-ass pleasure, but there isn't really enough to lift it past being just another predictable thriller.

US release date: February 17, 2006
MPAA: PG-13
Box Office: $48,546,578
Lee TistaertFebruary 5, 2006
Date Movie is supposed to be a diversion from the crap that Hollywood produces in romantic comedies, but ultimately {it} ends up being even worse than the movies it spoofs.
'Winter Passing' Movie Review (D+)Craig YounkinFebruary 3, 2006
{The characters are} boring, one-dimensional, and seemingly exist for no other reason than to resort to empty vices like inflicting physical pain on themselves...
'Something New' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinJanuary 30, 2006
Something New is not just surprisingly intelligent, but also a sweet Valentine worth checking out.
'Bubble' Movie Review (C+)Lee TistaertJanuary 28, 2006
There are things to like and admire in this experiment ? and even though it can be seen as pointless and a waste of time, I like it when filmmakers try for something different.
'Annapolis' Movie Review (C+)Craig YounkinJanuary 25, 2006
It's too bad that Annapolis is strictly formula and not good enough for the young up-and-coming talent on display. Why does Hollywood keep wasting film on stories that don't need to be re-told?
'Looking for Comedy...' Movie Review (C-)Lee TistaertJanuary 24, 2006
This is not only depressing material to be in the presence of, but it?s terribly embarrassing for someone like Brooks who can do a hell of a lot better.
'Looking for Comedy...' Movie Review (C+)Craig YounkinJanuary 18, 2006
The movie doesn't leave us feeling like we've wasted an hour and a half but the fact that it never becomes a really funny world-as-it-is-today satire leaves us with something to be desired.
'King Kong' Movie Review (C+)Craig YounkinJanuary 15, 2006
It has a lot of spectacle, really enticing action sequences and special effects, and good actors as well, but just nothing to sustain a movie that is over three hours.
'The New World' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinJanuary 13, 2006
Like many period pieces, this movie is slow, which wouldn't matter if it weren't lifeless also.
'The Producers' Movie Review (C+)Craig YounkinDecember 30, 2005
Many of the jokes had more zip in the 1968 original, and the new material doesn't hold a candle to the old material it's replacing.
'Brokeback Mountain' Movie Review (A)Greg WardDecember 26, 2005
With great performances, a beautifully written script, and solid directing, it has Oscar written all over it.
'Dick and Jane' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinDecember 26, 2005
The best gags come during {the} scenes of desperation, primarily because even though the humor is so broad, the movie remains an honest account of how devastating the job market can be.
'King Kong' Movie Review (B)Lee TistaertDecember 20, 2005
The film might?ve blown me away had the first act been tweaked a bit, but for an action flick these days, this sure delivers with the kind of energy that most filmmakers dream of inducing.
'Syriana' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinDecember 10, 2005
Did Syriana teach me anything about the "high price" of oil? My answer was a yes and a no.
'Brokeback Mountain' Movie Review (B)Lee TistaertDecember 10, 2005
This is one of the few times when I?d actually be happy with the Academy if they do award {Brokeback Mountain} with Best Picture and Director.
