Star Wars:
The Clone Wars
"... simply an extended commercial for an animated TV series debuting in the fall and a whole new slew of toys already lining store shelves."
Tropic Thunder
"... puts Hollywood in its sights and its aim is almost always dead-on."
Man on Wire
"Even though
Man on Wire
is a simple, low-budget production, there’s a
joie de vivre
on display that is unmistakably French and there are moments of whimsy that seem plucked straight from a
Jean-Pierre Jeunet fantasy."
The Dark Knight
"... one rock-solid, intense action-drama that
batapults
onto this year’s short list of the very best."
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
"The most amazing thing about
Hellboy II
is that, for all its artistic grandeur and eye-popping visuals,
it’s so detached and uninvolving."

Shine a Light
"For a movie that teams the Rolling Stones with Martin Scorsese,
Shine a Light
plays it surprisingly safe. The concert footage is great, but overall the movie doesn’t break any new ground."
