Cold Mountain (2003) Jeannette Catsoulis 'Above all, Cold Mountain is a story of women -- abandoned, starving, and learning to rely only on themselves and each other.'

2.5/5
The Matrix Reloaded (2003) Jeannette Catsoulis 'What made the first film so satisfying -- the detailed creepiness of human enslavement by technology -- is barely touched on here.'

4/5
The Matrix (1999) Jeannette Catsoulis The Matrix grabs you by the eyeballs, hypnotizes you into a state of visual ecstasy, and doesn't much care if your brain is following or not.

3.5/5
The Sea Inside (2004) Anthony Del Valle Bardem contributes layers of weariness and passion that gives us a visceral understanding of the life his character is mourning for.

0/5
The Wedding Date (2005) Anthony Del Valle The film is made by women, which just goes to show female moviemakers are equally capable of insulting female audiences.

1.5/5
Hide and Seek (2005) Anthony Del Valle It's no fun watching an innocent child suffer so much, just so we can be entertained by a 'Boo!'

Are We There Yet? (2005) Anthony Del Valle [Ice Cube is] more convincing in a babershop than in a beautiful woman's bed.
Posted Jan 20, 2005  Edit critic review
3/5
The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004) Anthony Del Valle Penn's talent is that he makes the most ordinary among us look at him on the screen and think, 'He is me.'

1/5
Coach Carter (2005) Anthony Del Valle When critics join in accepting this junk, is it any wonder few directors bother with fresh visions?
Posted Jan 13, 2005  Edit critic review

In Good Company (2004) Anthony Del Valle If the film's final third didn't get all gooey on us ... then the movie might have been a total triumph.

Posted Jan 06, 2005  Edit critic review
4/5
The Incredibles (2004) Anthony Del Valle [It] goes beyond the pretty visuals and the slam-bam action to get us under the skin of a family trying hard to be something they're not.

4/5
Spider-Man 2 (2004) Anthony Del Valle Raimi reminds us you can still make highly commercial films and keep your self-respect.

4.5/5
A Very Long Engagement (2004) Anthony Del Valle The first 20 minutes ... feel like a snuff film made with a James Ivory sensibility.
Posted Dec 27, 2004  Edit critic review
2/5
Meet the Fockers (2004) Anthony Del Valle You'd think after an eight-year absence from the screen, [Streisand would] return with more self-respect.
Posted Dec 27, 2004  Edit critic review
3/5
The Phantom of the Opera (2004) Anthony Del Valle Its lavish production numbers sometimes capture the broad wink of musical comedy in a manner we don't see much anymore.
Posted Dec 27, 2004  Edit critic review
3/5

Posted Dec 22, 2004  Edit critic review

Posted Dec 16, 2004  Edit critic review
3/5
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) Anthony Del Valle [It's] not successful, but you can't quite dismiss it. It's full of imagery that stays with you.

2/5
September (1987) Anthony Del Valle Some of our best actors turn dreary on us in this creaky, overly self-analytical drama.
Posted Nov 17, 2004  Edit critic review
2/5
What the Bleep Do We Know!? (2004) Anthony Del Valle Movies are a visual medium, and not even four dimensions of Ph.D.s are going to change that. Not in this lifetime, anyway.
Posted Nov 17, 2004  Edit critic review
3/5
Seed of Chucky (2004) Anthony Del Valle The gore -- severed limbs, heads, testicles; you know, the usual stuff -- is kept in humorous overabundance.
Posted Nov 17, 2004  Edit critic review
3/5
National Treasure (2004) Anthony Del Valle While it may be blasphemous to recommend 'National Treasure', it's probably not far off the mark to say [it will] keep fanatical fans of high-tech hesit movies content.
Posted Nov 17, 2004  Edit critic review
3/5
Being Julia (2004) Anthony Del Valle Annette Bening is as complete a reason for going to a movie as Jane Fonda was, or Marlon Brando.
