Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009)
86%
“Though titled about as artfully as a Tomb Raider flick, Bad Lieutenant is possessed of a sleekness and a morbid sophistication that belie the unfortunate clunkiness of its title.” –

Kisses (2008)
85%
“It's haunting and crisply vivid in parts, but definitely fuzzy around the edges.” –

Wonderful World (2009)
42%
“Perhaps Wonderful World resonates with a limited, snarky audience: me and Ben. But I suspect the wonder reaches further. After all, if Ben teaches us anything, it's that we're all far less alone than we think.” –

The Kids Are All Right (2010)
93%
“Kids Are All Right doesn't need any ideological defenses. It's deeply felt, fully and properly expressed, and perhaps that's enough.” –

MacGruber (2010)
47%
1.5/4
“You need a great character to make a bad thing good, and the action comedy MacGruber is sadly short on great characters.” –

Zombieland (2009)
89%
“Wildly implausible, slightly scary and plot-lite though Zombieland is, it stands to add a few comic bons mots to popular parlance.” –

Bandslam (2009)
82%
“Rife with spirit-lifting scenes of teens singing their hearts out. And it feels just that good, in a quirky-smart way.” –

The Ugly Truth (2009)
14%
“Under the direction of Robert Luketic, The Ugly Truth is pleasingly glossy, refreshingly snarky and startlingly sexy.” –

I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009)
13%
“A disappointingly flabby teen flick that reaches for (and spectacularly fails to grasp) both the effective sincerity of a John Hughes film and the irresistible humor of Superbad.” –

The Sensation of Sight (2006)
50%
“It(TM)s moving, occasionally charming, and universally well-acted...But with its pretensions to profundity...the film, like its hero, can get stuck inside its own head.” –

Detours of Love (2008)
63%
“Two and a half hours of this will try anyone's patience, so stave off the boredom by speculating about Kapoor and Padukone's off-screen romance; it looks like all that angsting paid off.” –
