Becoming Jane
Jane Austen could spot a phony, and, as a result, she would not have been happy with this romanticized account of her early years.

Rush Hour 3
It's The Bourne Ultimatum's evil twin, relying, as it repeatedly does, on tired, cookie-cutter, cliché action set-pieces.

Stardust
This uneven adaptation of Neil Gaiman's bestselling novel is clogged with too much fairy dust.

Goya's Ghosts
Neither a biopic of the artist nor a historical epic, Goya's Ghosts is a timeless study of the human potential for barbarism and hypocrisy.

Who's Your Caddy?
Hip-hop culture invades the golf course in this instantly disposable and not terribly funny comedy.

El Cantante
Jennifer Lopez and her real-life husband, Marc Anthony, portray the lives of salsa star Hector Lavoe and his wife, Puchi, in this biopic overstuffed with music-industry clichés.

The Bourne Ultimatum
The third film in this series is the best one yet about the rogue CIA spook with the memory of a goldfish.
Josh Rosenblatt, Aug. 3, 2007
The Simpsons Movie
The film delivers familiar hilarity and some treats you’ll never get on the show (nudity and drunkenness) but steers shy of anything bold and new.

Bratz
Bring some bratitude and a passion for fashion, and you'll be almost as giddy as a 10-year-old girl.

Talk to Me

Hot Rod
Cross Napoleon Dynamite's endearing optimism with Ben Stiller's total commitment to his goofy characters, and you'll wind up with a character something like Andy Samberg's hapless stuntman.

Sunshine
The sci-fi reunion of Danny Boyle and Cillian Murphy (28 Days Later) is never less than beautiful but has a profoundly implausible plot turn that cheapens the sentiment.
Marrit Ingman, July 27, 2007
No Reservations
While No Reservations is no Big Night, it's surprisingly winsome in parts, by virtue of Catherine Zeta-Jones' performance, and a romantic fable that lingers on the palette of the mind's eye.

Ten Canoes
Ten Canoes is as much a work of anthropology as it is a narrative, and its true strength lies in its exploration of ancient aboriginal hunting practices, death rituals, and legal traditions.

Hairspray
While there’s nothing offensive about the wholesomeness of this new version of John Waters' 1988 cult classic, you wish that it didn’t feel as if every hair were in place.
Steve Davis, July 20, 2007
Captivity
Captivity, wherein 24's Elisha Cuthbert is abducted and tortured, is the kind of film that gives torture porn a bad name; it's just soulless, hateful, and freakishly monotonous.
Marc Savlov, July 20, 2007
Eagle vs Shark
Like Napoleon Dynamite, Eagle vs Shark is a little wisp of a movie, a lightweight feature loaded with montage and hung on the multidimensional performance of Loren Horsley as Lily.

I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
Newest Adam Sandler comedy Chuck & Larry is a movie full of weak moments, contrived to the point of painful, that quickly turns from wild farce to gay-agenda movie.

I Don't Want to Sleep Alone
Although Tsai Ming-Liang's I Don’t Want to Sleep Alone is nearly wordless and slow moving, the film’s characters are compelling and its pace hypnotic. (AFS@Dobie)

Paprika
The multilayered Paprika, the newest animated film from Satoshi Kon (Millennium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers) captures the childlike, helter-skelter chaos and curiosity of the human mind better than any other animated film.
