Shark Tale (2004) 35% D+ EDIT “This is a loud, visually busy, offensive in its obviousness and virtually empty computer-animated film from DreamWorks. ” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Malcolm X (1992) 89% A- EDIT “The movie is long -- 202 minutes -- but Lee earns every tick of the clock, illuminating the many developmental moments in Malcolm X’s personality.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Raging Bull (1980) 92% A EDIT “The movie is just over two hours but feels epic in scope and payoff.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 9, 2023 Full Review The Blair Witch Project (1999) 86% A EDIT “[A] creepy tale of witchcraft, murders and ghost sightings.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 18, 2008 Full Review One Missed Call (2008) 0% D EDIT “One big miss of a horror movie.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Jimmy Carter: Man From Plains (2007) 80% B- EDIT “Moviegoers might initially find the inside peek into a media book tour fascinating. But the tedium of trekking from hotel to car to interview and back to a waiting limo can wear down one's resolve.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 24, 2007 Full Review Randy and the Mob (2007) 63% C EDIT “It's a film brimming with individual scenes featuring nice visual touches about the South and comforting down-home dialogue spiced with a healthy twinge of sarcasm. Too bad the movie never completely gels.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Sep 21, 2007 Full Review The Simpsons Movie (2007) 87% C+ EDIT “The Simpsons Movie isn't anything special and certainly not the creative spark necessary to jump-start what for years has been a sagging show.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Jul 26, 2007 Full Review Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) 78% B- EDIT “The movie is at times brilliant with a powerhouse performance by Imelda Staunton.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Jul 9, 2007 Full Review Transformers (2007) 57% B EDIT “Great special effects + Shia LaBeouf - flimsy story = lotsa fun.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Jul 2, 2007 Full Review Live Free or Die Hard (2007) 82% B- EDIT “It's loud, yippee-ki-yay explosive, mostly watchable and, unfortunately, almost entirely forgettable after its final bang.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Jun 26, 2007 Full Review Evan Almighty (2007) 24% C- EDIT “When the film ultimately does deliver on the threat of a flood, there's not much to think other than that the special effects are adequate and that Carell's movie is one big washout.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Jun 21, 2007 Full Review Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) 38% B- EDIT “Silver Surfer is watchable. But make no mistake. It's for younger filmgoers.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Jun 14, 2007 Full Review Ocean's Thirteen (2007) 70% C+ EDIT “Ultimately, if you give yourself up to its manufactured charm, it all becomes comfortingly familiar.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Jun 7, 2007 Full Review Knocked Up (2007) 90% A- EDIT “More than just laugh-out-loud funny. It's the relationship comedy of the summer and likely the best boy-meets-girl movie of the year.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution May 31, 2007 Full Review 300 (2007) 61% B EDIT “Call 300 the New Age sword-and-sandal epic -- a Hercules movie for the computer age.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Mar 8, 2007 Full Review Zodiac (2007) 90% C+ EDIT “Staying true to its real-life scenario, the film gets mired in the inevitable red tape of police investigations, [and it] switches focus enough times to make you think it's three movies instead of one.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Mar 1, 2007 Full Review Daddy's Little Girls (2007) 25% C+ EDIT “Tyler Perry likes preaching to the choir.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Feb 14, 2007 Full Review Off the Black (2006) 65% B+ EDIT “A modest drama fueled by Nick Nolte's gutsy lead performance as a disheveled 57-year-old junkyard proprietor who's been as flattened by life as the rusty old cars he crushes.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Feb 1, 2007 Full Review Pan's Labyrinth (2006) 95% A- EDIT “Pan's Labyrinth is del Toro's home run. He's delivered a film full of power, beauty, horror and, ultimately, sadness.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Jan 18, 2007 Full Review The Nativity Story (2006) 37% C+ EDIT “The proceedings come across as quite a bit less than the greatest story every told.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 30, 2006 Full Review Turistas (2006) 19% B- EDIT “Give Turistas, the edgy, unnerving, graphically violent South American vacation movie full of sex-hungry young adults and horror, credit for knowing full well not only what kind of entertainment it is, but for delivering the goods.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 30, 2006 Full Review Come Early Morning (2006) 84% B- EDIT “A mostly watchable, somewhat satisfying drama.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 9, 2006 Full Review Little Children (2006) 81% B+ EDIT “Complicated, involving and just plain smart, Children is the kind of movie that worms its way back into your head days after you've seen it.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 19, 2006 Full Review Flags of Our Fathers (2006) 76% B EDIT “"Flags" is classic Eastwood, filmed with weighty purpose and, often, skilled precision.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 19, 2006 Full Review
