Left Behind (2014) 0% 0/4 “I can't wait for Nic Cage to explain THIS one to God on Judgment Day.” – Mixed Reviews Oct 5, 2014 Full Review Larry Crowne (2011) 36% 3/10 “Could have been a solid, straightforward rom com coasting on likable leads; half-hearted additions trying to link the movie to economic crisis just detract.” – Low IQ Canadian Dec 5, 2011 Full Review I'm Not There (2007) 76% “I'm Not There may inspire great movies, but doesn't have the discipline to be one itself.” – Low IQ Canadian Nov 25, 2007 Full Review Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) 43% “The wild, unstoppable commercial success of the Pirates franchise has freed Verbinski to spend a lot of time on flights of fancy and mythological asides.” – Low IQ Canadian Jul 10, 2007 Full Review Ocean's Thirteen (2007) 70% “A subpar A-Team episode with George Clooney as Face.” – Low IQ Canadian Jul 10, 2007 Full Review Knocked Up (2007) 90% “Goodhearted and refreshingly messy.” – Low IQ Canadian Jul 10, 2007 Full Review License to Wed (2007) 7% “Forget blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, wasting our time with License to Wed is the one unpardonable sin.” – Low IQ Canadian Jul 8, 2007 Full Review These Are the Damned (1962) 88% “Slow-building but creepy story of biker pug uglies, radiation poisoning, and prissy Brit schoolkids.” – Low IQ Canadian Jul 8, 2007 Full Review Evan Almighty (2007) 24% “Feebleminded slapdashery.” – Low IQ Canadian Jun 23, 2007 Full Review Keeping Mum (2006) 57% “Maggie Smith is like Mary Poppins...with a meat ax. Serial Grandmom strikes again.” – Mixed Reviews Oct 7, 2006 Full Review The Da Vinci Code (2006) 25% “There is a natural limit as to how deeply any film, but especially a would-be summer blockbuster, can dig into radical ideas of faith and history. To his credit, Ron Howard hits that limit.” – Mixed Reviews May 21, 2006 Full Review Secret Honor (1984) 77% “Does anyone have a clue what Altman was driving at with this intense glob of lunacy?” – Low IQ Canadian Nov 19, 2005 Full Review Gabriel Over the White House (1933) 71% “Gabriel Over the White House encourages its viewers to live the fantasy of the philosopher-king, but never counts the costs of such a regime.” – Mixed Reviews Nov 19, 2005 Full Review Bewitched (2005) 23% “I'll have some of what Nora Ephron's having, as long as I don't have to watch her movies.” – Low IQ Canadian Nov 19, 2005 Full Review Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967) 71% “If you guessed, 'a wheezy social problem drama,' you're right.” – Mixed Reviews Nov 19, 2005 Full Review Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005) 93% “Not only was Good Night, and Good Luck filmed in black-and-white, it was written and acted that way, too. This is Good versus Evil for Political Dummies.” – Low IQ Canadian Nov 5, 2005 Full Review Bad News Bears (2005) 48% “Bad News Bears is a late summer hoot, and hopefully what your kids are really seeing when they tell you they're going to Sky High.” – Low IQ Canadian Aug 7, 2005 Full Review The World, the Flesh and the Devil (1959) “Belafonte is magic in his loneliness.” – Low IQ Canadian Jun 26, 2005 Full Review Batman Begins (2005) 85% “The class dynamics of Batman Begins are just insufferable. Thank heavens we have our incorruptable masked moneybags to keep the criminal poor in line.” – Low IQ Canadian Jun 17, 2005 Full Review Leap Year (1924) “Slow-moving silent comedy which didn't get screened for sixty years because of Arbuckle's scandal; mainly of historical interest.” – Low IQ Canadian Jun 7, 2005 Full Review Primer (2004) 72% “I didn't understand Primer; worse yet, I didn't care.” – Low IQ Canadian Jun 1, 2005 Full Review F for Fake (1973) 88% “A little gem, full of vintage Welles ruminations on the ephemeral nature of personal celebrity and the elusiveness of ultimate truth.” – Low IQ Canadian May 22, 2005 Full Review The Yes Men (2003) 87% “Chris Smith is the next great documentarian for mainstream American audiences to discover, and he richly merits a wide release.” – Low IQ Canadian May 15, 2005 Full Review Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005) 97% “While Smartest Guys sometimes veers into C-Span2: The Movie territory, just then another shocking tidbit will drop to keep the fires stoked.” – Mixed Reviews May 15, 2005 Full Review Nobody Knows (2004) 92% “Nothing more can be done to lay the concrete reality of poverty out for persons of conscience. Take and read.” – Mixed Reviews Mar 14, 2005 Full Review
