Lost (2005) 80% EDIT “An assured first film.” – L.A. Weekly May 12, 2005 Full Review Up for Grabs (2004) 93% EDIT “If Wranovics is somewhat too noncommittal in his presentation, he still shows a great eye for detail.” – L.A. Weekly May 12, 2005 Full Review Fighting Tommy Riley (2004) 63% EDIT “Anchored by Eddie Jones' passionate performance as the trainer dragged from mysterious retirement, the film also benefits from its convincing milieu.” – L.A. Weekly May 5, 2005 Full Review Smile (2005) 15% EDIT “All the shallow, self-absorbed denizens of Malibu seem relieved.” – L.A. Weekly Apr 6, 2005 Full Review The Forgotten (2004) 31% EDIT “A pleasantly nonsensical roller-coaster ride.” – L.A. Weekly Sep 22, 2004 Full Review Silver City (2004) 48% EDIT “Fails to allow the talented ensemble ... time to develop Sunshine State's fine, Altmanesque ensemble feel, again and again missing the human and leaving cartoons that satisfy only as agitprop.” – L.A. Weekly Sep 15, 2004 Full Review Vlad (2003) EDIT “It all adds up to pleasantly nonsensical mayhem.” – L.A. Weekly Sep 9, 2004 Full Review Imelda (2004) 94% EDIT “Diaz's portrait of Imelda Marcos attempts to get beyond the shoe thing, into the gothic heart of 40 years of Philippine politics.” – L.A. Weekly Aug 19, 2004 Full Review She Hate Me (2004) 19% EDIT “Targets 'the decline of ethics ... from the boardroom to the bedroom,' and misses on both fronts.” – L.A. Weekly Jul 28, 2004 Full Review Kaena: The Prophecy (2003) 7% EDIT “If Kaena's alternate universe isn't nearly as fully realized as Fantastic Planet's, the 3-D imagery is often gloriously turbocharged.” – L.A. Weekly Jul 8, 2004 Full Review America's Heart and Soul (2004) 49% EDIT “Louis Schwartzberg both surprises and frustrates with this schizophrenic feature debut.” – L.A. Weekly Jun 30, 2004 Full Review Bought & Sold (2003) EDIT “Charms with its scruffy characters and nuanced multiculturalism.” – L.A. Weekly Jun 30, 2004 Full Review After Freedom (2002) EDIT “Where so many Scorsese wannabes jettison sociology in favor of mayhem, Babaian burrows into the hearts of these first- and second-generation immigrants.” – L.A. Weekly May 12, 2004 Full Review Off the Lip (2004) 25% EDIT “Surfer farce that chafes like sand in a wetsuit.” – L.A. Weekly May 6, 2004 Full Review Lana's Rain (2002) 22% EDIT “The titular precipitation in Lana's Rain is a manifestation of the badness in the world -- but here, badness is pure Lifetime Channel.” – L.A. Weekly Apr 15, 2004 Full Review A Thousand Clouds of Peace (2003) 28% EDIT “If first-time writer-director Julian Hernandez lets his knotted narrative get away from him too often, he nevertheless shows a miraculous sense of style for a 31-year-old.” – L.A. Weekly Apr 15, 2004 Full Review Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat in Space (2002) 50% EDIT “Japanese art collective t.o.L. (Tree of Life) have taken the hipster kitsch of Hello Kitty to a delirious extreme.” – L.A. Weekly Mar 31, 2004 Full Review Mayor of the Sunset Strip (2003) 87% EDIT “Hickenlooper can't contain Bingenheimer's incredibly generous spirit -- so generous that, while obviously uncomfortable, he lets the director into his most private moments.” – L.A. Weekly Mar 25, 2004 Full Review Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004) 22% EDIT “The filmmakers are once again able to attract comic talent to languish in underwritten villain roles (Peter Boyle), and Scooby Doo still looks more like a bobble-head doll in the rear window of a Gremlin than a dog or a cartoon.” – L.A. Weekly Mar 25, 2004 Full Review Everybody Says I'm Fine! (2001) 47% EDIT “Bose deserves credit for the wide-eyed verve of his highly original, if over-the-top, storyline.” – L.A. Weekly Mar 19, 2004 Full Review The Gatekeeper (2002) 55% EDIT “This earnest, shoestring indie that makes use of some sharp location shooting and sympathetic performances to rise above its often awkward staging and writing.” – L.A. Weekly Mar 18, 2004 Full Review Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004) 13% EDIT “The first Cody Banks worked by playing on the immense gap between secret-agent sophistication and hormonal teenage awkwardness; volume 2 never finds a similar conceit to milk.” – L.A. Weekly Mar 11, 2004 Full Review Tube (2003) EDIT “Some critics are touting Korea as the new Hong Kong, but Baek never gets out from under his H.K. precedents.” – L.A. Weekly Feb 26, 2004 Full Review La Mentale: The Code (2004) 36% EDIT “If the plot comes off more like a reworking of Scorsese's tales of Italian-American mobsters, Boursinhac nevertheless shows a sure hand with his story.” – L.A. Weekly Feb 11, 2004 Full Review Catch That Kid (2004) 13% EDIT “A parade of missed opportunities.” – L.A. Weekly Feb 5, 2004 Full Review
