Updated with: Taking Lives - Predictable, boring, schlock. The only good aspects are stolen from better films. **/***** The Machinist - Not the most original story, but great execution. Very unsettling atmosphere, and a fantastic performance from Bale. ****/*****

Updated with Bernardo Bertolucci's The Dreamers (****½/*****). By no means a perfect film, but the characters were interesting and engaging enough to get a big recommendation from me. The film presents too many ideas to manage efficiently, and the use of voice-over narration at the beginning but...

Updated with the terrific Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (****½/*****). It's a shame that more people aren't seeing this.

Updated with a few films over the last few days. Resident Evil: Apocalypse - **½/***** Not as awful as I was expecting, but that's not saying much. I did think it was better than PwsA's other flick AvP. Man was that Nemesis make-up cheesy, though. Ug. Hustle - *½/***** The crappy ESPN...

Updated with the fun guilty pleasure Cellular (****/*****).

Updated with the interesting Open Water (**½/*****). Not really what I expected, which isn't to say it was bad...but I feel really split on this one. I'll have to watch it another time.

Updated with the terrific Garden State (*****/*****). I absolutely can't wait to see what's next from Zach Braff. Great writing, great direction, and great performances from Braff, Sarsgaard, and Natalie Portman. I'm sure this will be sticking around on my top ten for the year.

Updated with the suck-tastic AvP (**½/*****). Two and a half stars for the Predator's alone :) Everything else from screenplay to acting was like listening fingernails on a chalkboard.

Updated with Collateral (****/*****). Another great entry from Mann. Sometimes a little too predictable, but the interaction between Cruise and Foxx was fantastic. This is definitely an actor's showcase film.

Updated with The Bourne Supremecy (****/*****). Good, but not as good as the first.

Updated with Metallica: Some Kind of Monster. Not the best doc ever, but as a fan of the band I found it really interesting. (****/*****)

Updated with the strong but flawed The Village (***½/*****) and the mostly funny Harald and Kumar Go To White Castle (***/*****).

I went to see I, Robot expecting to hate it, but I actually thought it was pretty decent. Maybe a little too much gratuitous Will Smith, but overall a decent summer flick. (****/*****)

Updated with the funny Anchorman (****/*****).

Updated with Jersey Girl(***½/*****). Kinda like About a Boy, only not as good.

Updated with the not-too-horrible anti-global warming infomercial The Day After Tomorrow (***½/*****).

Updated with the hilarious Shaun of the Dead (****½/*****).

Updated with the fantastic Spider-Man 2 (*****/*****).

Updated with the funny Dodgeball (****/*****).

Updated with The Punisher (**/*****) and Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (*****/*****).
