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 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."
5. 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."
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, concerning Travolta's renegade soldier of fortune teaming with Rhys Meyers' inexperienced intelligence operative to foil terrorists, 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, industrial Europe's original bromance."
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."
