3/5
The Bucket List (2007) Pete Hammond Despite the AARP factor, audiences of all types will probably love this film for what it says about our own mortality and how we handle it.
Posted Dec 21, 2007
4.5/5
There Will Be Blood (2007) Pete Hammond A masterpiece from Paul Thomas Anderson. You won't be able to shake it off. Daniel Day Lewis delivers a chilling portrait of greed. He can be charming, cunning, terrifying and pathetic -- sometimes all at once. This is a landmark performance.
Posted Dec 21, 2007
3.5/5
Steep (2007) Pete Hammond With more white powder than even Al Pacino's nose housed in 'Scarface', Steep pushes human endurance and achievement to the limit with indescribable eye-popping crazy feats of Big Mountain glory.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) Pete Hammond Unparalleled visual splendor, a bloody red-velvet fever dream of a musical for people who think they HATE musicals.
Posted Dec 21, 2007
3/5
National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007) Pete Hammond Even though it's wildly unbelievable and rather hokey at times, this is total entertainment from start to finish.
Posted Dec 21, 2007
4/5
Charlie Wilson's War (2007) Pete Hammond You'll want to stand up and cheer for Charlie Wilson, a smart and absolutely irresistable true tale about a guy who dared to make a difference.
Posted Dec 21, 2007
4/5
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) Pete Hammond After 'Superbad' and 'Knocked Up', Judd Apatow has now pulled off the movie equivalent of the Triple Crown.
Posted Dec 21, 2007
4/5
The Great Debaters (2007) Pete Hammond An absolute triumph for Denzel Washington. Here is a movie that can make a difference. What more can you ask from a film?
Posted Dec 21, 2007
2.5/5
Atonement (2007) Pete Hammond This chick-lit flick is an 'English Patient' style epic.
Posted Dec 14, 2007
3/5
Look (2007) Pete Hammond It brings up lots of questions to ponder and mostly succeeds as a fascinating, if frightening statement on the way we are.
Posted Dec 14, 2007

The Kite Runner (2007) Pete Hammond
Posted Dec 14, 2007
2/5
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) Pete Hammond Kids at the preview screening ate it up but everyone else will probably be shouting 'ALVIN!!! SHUT THE F*** UP!'"
Posted Dec 14, 2007
4/5
I Am Legend (2007) Pete Hammond Mind-blowing excitement, an expert thriller that really thrills and makes you think. A special shout-out for the dog, Sam. Now that's acting!
Posted Dec 14, 2007
3/5
Grace Is Gone (2007) Pete Hammond Incredibly John Cusack has never been nominated for an Academy Award but this movie may change that. He's simply terrific in a fine and moving film.
Posted Dec 07, 2007
4/5
Juno (2007) Pete Hammond
Posted Dec 07, 2007
3.5/5
The Golden Compass (2007) Pete Hammond Like Lord Of The Rings and Chronicles Of Narnia it's a visual feast that transports you to an alternate world of jaw-dropping awe, unforgettable images and pure adventure.
Posted Dec 07, 2007
3/5
Revolver (2005) Pete Hammond A psychological thriller that focuses more on the 'psycho' than the 'logical' for its own good. But who says everything has to make sense when you're just trying to blow a few brains out?
Posted Dec 07, 2007
4/5
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007) Pete Hammond Tough to watch? Sure. Worth it? Absolutely. Perhaps the most inspiring film in many years.
Posted Nov 30, 2007
3.5/5
The Savages (2007) Pete Hammond The film successfully navigates the tricky waters of family dysfunction. A savagely funny/tragic/hopeful portrait of the way we are circa 2007.
Posted Nov 30, 2007
2/5
Awake (2007) Pete Hammond The filmmakers of Awake have crafted a domestic thriller that just may end up putting you ASLEEP.
Posted Nov 30, 2007
3.5/5
Beowulf (2007) Pete Hammond This motion-capture animated version is genuinely exciting to see although the process still gives us the creeps.
Posted Nov 21, 2007
1.5/5
Redacted (2007) Pete Hammond It's a shame that with the vast canvas of this seemingly never-ending conflict that this crap is the image De Palma wants to convey.
Posted Nov 21, 2007
3/5
Margot at the Wedding (2007) Pete Hammond A wry, devastatingly witty look at a family you won't soon forget, no matter how hard you try.
Posted Nov 21, 2007
2.5/5
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007) Pete Hammond It's so 'G' you almost want to gag, but its heart is in the right place. Take a kid or take a pass.
Posted Nov 21, 2007
3/5
Enchanted (2007) Pete Hammond Its success is largely due to the casting of Amy Adams who is simply sensational. She weaves some serious movie magic into this thing.
Posted Nov 21, 2007
2/5
August Rush (2007) Pete Hammond It can be admired for trying something a little different from the usual family film, but in the end, it just doesn't work. At all.
Posted Nov 21, 2007
3.5/5
I'm Not There (2007) Pete Hammond Cate Blanchett has delivered the most audacious, astounding and entertaining performance of the year by ANYONE, male or female.
Posted Nov 21, 2007
4/5
The Mist (2007) Pete Hammond Film adaptations of King's work tend to be hit and miss, but with last summer's '1408' and now this scary-as-hell flick, he's on a roll.
Posted Nov 21, 2007
3/5
Hitman (2007) Pete Hammond It delivers top-notch action, dazzling gunplay and lots of fireworks. What more could we ask for?
Posted Nov 21, 2007
3/5
Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten (2007) Pete Hammond A remarkably well-detailed doc that proves 'Rock The Casbah' is not just that song from the cell phone commercials.
Posted Nov 09, 2007
3/5
Martian Child (2007) Pete Hammond John Cusack is perfect but it's Bobby Coleman who delivers one of the most uniquely original kid performances ever. You actually believe he might be from Mars.
Posted Nov 09, 2007
4.5/5
No Country for Old Men (2007) Pete Hammond A great American film. A dark and sometimes bleakly comic vision of our violent culture.
Posted Nov 09, 2007
1.5/5
Fred Claus (2007) Pete Hammond A ho-ho-hum yuletide comedy trying to shoehorn Vaughn's fast talking wise-guy brand into a warm and fuzzy Christmas confection that seems like it has been focus-grouped to smithereens.
Posted Nov 09, 2007
3.5/5
Lions for Lambs (2007) Pete Hammond Agree or disagree, love it or hate it, you won't be able to turn away. It's Robert Redford's urgent, impassioned wake up call for America.
