Keeping Mum (2006) 57% 2/5 EDIT “The British countryside provides a pretty framework, unfortunately the picture inside doesn't fit the bill.” – Boxoffice Magazine Dec 30, 2006 Full Review The Nativity Story (2006) 37% 2/5 EDIT “It's a dreary, depressing slog until finally there's a tiny, tiny hint that the world could possibly contain joy, love and peace, instead of a wealth of evil.” – Boxoffice Magazine Dec 1, 2006 Full Review Flicka (2006) 54% 2.5/5 EDIT “Maria Bello's skill and onscreen presence speak volumes about the mother's thoughts and feelings, even when the script leaves her high and dry.” – Boxoffice Magazine Oct 28, 2006 Full Review Absolute Wilson (2006) 76% 2.5/5 EDIT “Over all, though not surprisingly, the result is too sharply slanted in favor of Wilson's genius rather than in questioning his talent.” – Boxoffice Magazine Oct 28, 2006 Full Review The Guardian (2006) 37% 2/5 EDIT “Watching The Guardian is like treading water in a cold tank when you'd rather be sun-basking on a raft in a tranquil cove.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 29, 2006 Full Review Hurricane on the Bayou (2006) 84% 3/5 EDIT “It's a gumbo stew of a movie in which all the ingredients don't meld neatly, but then it has an excuse: Nature beat it to the punch.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 23, 2006 Full Review The Last King of Scotland (2006) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Forest Whitaker's performance as Idi Amin is so good it's scary.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 19, 2006 Full Review Confetti (2006) 57% 3/5 EDIT “Overall it's simply good fun, kind and caring at heart even when relationships get nasty as tension mounts.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 14, 2006 Full Review Material Girls (2006) 4% 2.5/5 EDIT “Martha Coolidge's direction treats the whole adventure with more respect than it deserves, which also makes one wish that she'd been able to work with the Duffs on something much more worthwhile.” – Boxoffice Magazine Aug 26, 2006 Full Review How to Eat Fried Worms (2006) 60% 2.5/4 EDIT “The anti-bullying message, which is the heart of the story, is too insistent, as the concocting and consuming of the ghastly worm-based snacks very quickly begins to point to a too-obvious conclusion.” – Boxoffice Magazine Aug 25, 2006 Full Review The Ant Bully (2006) 61% 2.5/4 EDIT “Like the insect world it depicts, The Ant Bully, based on John Nickle's book, is neatly structured and cohesive, but a little small-scale.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jul 28, 2006 Full Review Three Days of Rain (2002) 40% 3.5/5 EDIT “Meredith has created a mood piece that avoids self-indulgence as it explores the self-indulgent nature of a handful of diverse people, caught up in the major and minor miseries of life's foolish ironies and genuine woes.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jul 21, 2006 Full Review You, Me and Dupree (2006) 21% 2/5 EDIT “Dupree's presence is annoying and disruptive, but not remotely convincing as a legitimate catalyst for exposing anything insightful, amusing or charming about modern relationships.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jul 14, 2006 Full Review Wordplay (2006) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Bright, concise and to the point.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 16, 2006 Full Review Peaceful Warrior (2006) 26% 2.5/5 EDIT “The filmmakers can't be faulted for trying; it's a decent effort, but nevertheless misses out in both the mind and body categories, and rather overdoes the spirit.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 2, 2006 Full Review The Break-Up (2006) 34% 2/5 EDIT “Director Peyton Reed really does seem to be trying to probe for something more worthy, to find some insight into modern-day relationships, but it simply isn't there.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 2, 2006 Full Review Stoned (2005) 16% 3.5/5 EDIT “Gregory has all the necessary quicksilver, will-o-the-wisp, mercurial charm to play Jones, making his brilliantly etched personality seductive and fascinating, whether he's being gorgeously appealing or viciously mean.” – Boxoffice Magazine Mar 24, 2006 Full Review Deep Sea (2006) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Take the plunge. This is one instance where it's totally delightful to feel like you're swimming with sharks.” – Boxoffice Magazine Mar 3, 2006 Full Review The Dress (1996) 78% 3.5/5 EDIT “There is a peeping tom mood to this amusing and often surprising tale, which follows the fortunes of a dress from drawing board to ragged demise.” – Boxoffice Magazine Feb 25, 2006 Full Review London (2005) 14% 1.5/5 EDIT “This is a story about people who have no one to blame but themselves. The same goes for the filmmakers.” – Boxoffice Magazine Feb 10, 2006 Full Review On the Outs (2004) 97% 3/5 EDIT “Lori Silverbush and Michael Skolnik's film must live and die on the strength of its lead performers. Luckily, most of the time they are up to the challenge.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jan 13, 2006 Full Review Tristan & Isolde (2006) 31% 1.5/5 EDIT “They are hollow people mooning their way through a backdrop of endless battles in which wild-haired, wild-eyed men chop each other about.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jan 13, 2006 Full Review Sueño (2005) 43% 3/5 EDIT “Refreshingly old-fashioned.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 30, 2005 Full Review The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio (2005) 59% 3/5 EDIT “Like a thumbed-through flipbook, it merges humor and pain in fascinating overlap.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 30, 2005 Full Review The Thing About My Folks (2005) 44% 2.5/5 EDIT “Despite some amusing and touching scenes, it is a bit too sitcom-like for its own good.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 16, 2005 Full Review
