  • Flushed Away Review
    By: Kit Bowen November 03, 2006 12:22pm EST
    Well-placed pop-culture references, wry British humor—and some singing slugs—elevate Flushed Away from the typical animated fare, but only slightly.
  • Employee of the Month Review
    By: Fred Topel October 10, 2006 10:14am EST
    Employee of the Month doesn’t hold a candle to a marathon of MTV’s Vicious Circle, Newlyweds and Punk’d--and all those are available for FREE. Sadly, everyone in the film is capable of funnier things.
  • The Guardian Review
    By: Brian Marder September 29, 2006 6:22am EST
    The Guardian wants more than anything to be a summer blockbuster. But as a fall movie in earnest--clocking in at well over two hours, no less--the movie is stripped bare and revealed as a middling action flick without much action.
  • The Last King of Scotland Review
    By: Brian Marder September 29, 2006 6:22am EST
    A volcanic, career-defining performance from Forest Whitaker absolutely hijacks The Last King of Scotland and the Oscar race. He also rescues the movie from its disappointing--albeit powerful--mediocrity.
  • 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!
  • The Covenant Review
    By: Brian Marder September 09, 2006 10:09pm EST
    If you're a teen looking for scantily clad supermodel types doing R-rated things in a PG-13 movie, you've come to the right “supernatural” flick. Otherwise, you’re gonna wanna head to The Illusionist.
  • 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.
  • Idlewild Review
    By: Brian Marder August 25, 2006 6:46am EST
    Idlewild goes for broke and often gets there. But it’s an absolutely beautiful disaster, one with no shortage of talent, ambition or future stars, both in front of and behind the lens.
  • The Descent Review
    By: Mike Szymanski August 07, 2006 11:09am EST
    The Descent is a stiflingly claustrophobic look at daredevil women spelunking together who encounter horrifying gargoyle-like creatures along the way.
  • John Tucker Must Die Review
    By: Kit Bowen July 28, 2006 5:33am EST
    In the typical vein of high school teen movies full of joie de vivre, John Tucker Must Die is unadulterated fluff. Derivative but somewhat amusing.
