 "...occasionally suspenseful, ultra-bloody (check out the bride's expert chain saw work!) attack-of-the-undead with some Catholic mumbo jumbo thrown in..." |

 "...has its heroine return home under circumstances mysterious only to her small-town friends. Why ex-major Alexandra (Dreya Weber) has been booted from the Marines is certainly easy for us to guess, despite the wedding ring." |

"More topical than dramatic... a lesbian amalgam of 'Walking Tall' and 'Billy Jack.' Relentlessly clumsy and predictable... its abrupt, wishful postscript is still just a fairy tale." |

 "...a series of survivor accounts and philosophical meditations on lightning strikes... Baichwal's fizzled essay makes you yearn for the clarity of the Weather Channel." |

 "...more an act of tourism than examination. Finding and interviewing some of the subjects -- now aged -- whom Frank portrayed tells us nothing..." |

 "...however stirring these vintage campaigns and their graying creators may be for ad junkies and nostalgists, Doug Pray fails at analysis: His film is simply a tribute." |

 "Road dust and sun-flared car windows, wind moving through yellowed prairie, empty branches clawing the shuddering sky... Much of the movie consists of road-trip montage... The mood is melancholy, but not quite regretful." |

 "Thoroughly silly and enjoyable for film geeks who know the old '70s blaxploitation canon..." |

 "...mushy, mystical French-Canadian melodrama tries to make parallel a pair of love stories... Jean-Marc Vallée is less concerned with logic than spiritual affinity..." |

 "David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli aren't given enough stunts to enliven the talky intrigue, which is curious for a movie supposedly aimed at the international Xbox demo." |

"Less a sequel than a remake of the exhilarating 2006 action flick that introduced parkour, the French run-and-jump urban obstacle sport, to American audiences..." |

 "Frazer Bradshaw literalizes his hero's sense of creeping humiliation with a recurring fantasy motif. It's so bad that I won't describe it, because there's much else to recommend about this debut indie feature." |

 "...relies heavily on the life of director-evangelist-narrator Joshua Tickell.... There's not a single (even moderately) dissenting voice; you're either on the biodiesel bandwagon or raping the planet." |
