Rating	Title \| Year	Author	Quote
	Hot Fuzz (2007)	David Fear	What makes Wright & Co.’s buddy-cop goof so spot-on is that, like their previous take on splatter flicks, the pair share an affection for -- and thorough knowledge of -- cineplex cheese with their film-geek fan base. Posted Sep 08, 2023 Edit critic review
	Diggers (2006)	David Fear	Director Katherine Dieckmann keeps everything moving smoothly, and the appeal of Rudd in wisecracking mode can’t be underestimated. But if you’ve ever sat through an Ed Burns film, there’s nothing here you haven’t seen before. Posted Sep 08, 2023 Edit critic review
	Zoo (2007)	David Fear	What’s most surprising, however, is how [filmmaker Robinson Devor is] able to make a film about such a sensationalistic subject and have it be neither unbearably sleazy nor cringe-inducing. Posted Sep 08, 2023 Edit critic review
	Michael Clayton (2007)	David Fear	There is a lot to admire in [Michael Clayton] regarding corruption and personal responsibility. You may, however, want to cut out before [the end]. Posted Sep 08, 2023 Edit critic review
	Gone Baby Gone (2007)	David Fear	Baby’s Beantown mystery benefits from Ben Affleck proving he’s a decent director with a knack for nailing the local Boston color of Dennis Lehane’s book. Then it comes time to wrap things up and splat. Posted Sep 08, 2023 Edit critic review
	Into the Wild (2007)	David Fear	Anyone who’s read Jon Krakauer’s best-selling nonfiction account knows the details, but actually seeing McCandless’s travels is still thrilling. Yet... are we supposed to salute this foray into the wild or shake our heads at the sheer idiocy? Posted Sep 08, 2023 Edit critic review
	Control - Love Will Tear Us Apart (2007)	David Fear	Control ends up being just another portrait of a self-destructive genius, albeit one as compelling and cryptic as Curtis himself. Posted Sep 08, 2023 Edit critic review
	The Darjeeling Limited (2007)	David Fear	when everything falls into place, as it does for much of The Darjeeling Limited, [Anderson’s] movies give way to something far deeper than film geekery. Posted Sep 08, 2023 Edit critic review
