1. 07/28/11 Good (Not Great) "...sparks to life every time Craig and Ford trade glances or blows... it's a shame they don't share more screen time."
2. 04/14/11 Moderate "By hewing to the historical record, director Robert Redford limits the screen time of his film's chief asset: Robin Wright's searing, unapologetic performance."
3. 11/18/10 Good (Not Great) "There's a tense little thriller that wants badly to bust out of 'The Next Three Days'... spends too much of its time being a dry, sluggish family melodrama."
4. 11/11/10 Good (Not Great) "...it's McAdams' movie, and she carries that responsibility with a grace and joyousness that keeps things bouncy even when the jokes fall flat."
5. 11/11/10 Very Good "...cheesy at moments, and more than a little inevitable, but there's a giddy rush watching A-list hardware make B-movie mayhem."
6. 10/14/10 Moderate "Things you'll learn from 'Jackass 3D': Never play a tuba in front of a ram. Also, Krazy Glue is a less than ideal way to remove tummy hair."
7. 09/16/10 Weak "...a by-the-numbers cartoon with occasional 3D pleasures. For his final film, the late Dennis Hopper -- who voices a pack leader -- deserved a more inspired send-off."
8. 02/04/10 Good (Not Great) "The plot is both absurd and unabashedly un-PC. Still, the film itself is mostly a lot of fun, thanks to Travolta."
9. 01/14/10 Weak "...slow-moving... in the end it's Washington, with his scorched voice and world-weary lope, that serves as the lone reason to go on this ponderous journey."
10. 12/31/09 Good (Not Great) "...there's plenty to enjoy... Downey's relish, sooty London scenery and, most of all, the tenderness shared by Holmes and Law's fastidious Watson..."
11. 10/22/09 Good (Not Great) "Married urban moms will find a lot to relate to here; just expect more winces of recognition than belly laughs."
