  • Charlotte's Web Review
    By: Kit Bowen December 15, 2006 4:43am EST
    Although Charlotte's Web suffers a little from Babe envy, it is still a very faithful and endearing live-action adaptation of the beloved children’s classic. It's the talking pig movie for the next generation!
  • The Holiday Review
    By: Kit Bowen December 11, 2006 5:47am EST
    Watching The Holiday is a little like ordering a sticky cinnamon bun: You know the gooey, warm sweetness will taste good, but you’ll feel guilty eating it.
  • Unaccompanied Minors Review
    By: Brian Marder December 08, 2006 5:10am EST
    While it doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel, Unaccompanied Minors is at least decent, harmless, heart-warming fun. It’s also a surefire way to keep the kiddies smiling and occupied this pre-Christmas.
  • Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny Review
    By: Scott Huver November 24, 2006 5:10am EST
    They are Jake and Elwood with more head-banging, Wayne and Garth with less mugging, Cheech and Chong with a slightly weaker stash, the Brokeback cowboys with a more platonic take on man-love... They are Tenacious D, and they’re the stars of the second funniest film of 2006.
  • Fast Food Nation Review
    By: Fred Topel November 17, 2006 6:07am EST
    Chow down on this taste of life inside the meat packing and “Happy Meal” Fast Food Nation.
  • The Return Review
    By: Kit Bowen November 13, 2006 12:31pm EST
    Although pegged as one, The Return is neither psychologically thrilling or supernaturally scary, which makes it a poor choice for a ghost story.
  • The Black Dahlia Review
    By: Scott Huver September 18, 2006 8:25am EST
    Although The Black Dahlia admirably coalesces James Ellroy’s searingly brilliant noir novel into a sharp, streamlined screenplay, director Brian De Palma’s campy approach and questionable casting sever the style from the substance as brutally in two as its titular victim.
  • Everyone's Hero Review
    By: Kit Bowen September 15, 2006 5:57am EST
    Everyone's Hero is just the same old over-produced CGI-animated sap they keep shoveling at the kids--except there’s a talking baseball and bat in this one. Fun!
  • Hollywoodland Review
    By: Scott Huver September 08, 2006 5:04am EST
    Hollywoodland is a well-acted, moody and sumptuously evocative recreation of LA’s seemingly glamorous underbelly circa the 1950s but tries entirely too hard to be Chinatown.
  • Little Miss Sunshine Review
    By: Brian Marder July 27, 2006 4:55am EST
    Even with “Oscar season” yet to come, it’s safe to say that Little Miss Sunshine is one of the year’s very best. This inspirational, hilariously sad dysfunctional-family-road-trip dramedy offers absolutely everything--except pretension.
