Review of Lions for Lambs (2007)

Review of Superbad (2007)

By Sean Gandert (81) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 30 Jul 2008

Even if Superbad's not much more than a teen comedy, it's the best teen comedy to come out in at least a decade. There's no shame in that…

Review of Sicko (2007)

By Sean Gandert (81) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 30 Jul 2008

Review of Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)

Review of Cassandra's Dream (2007)

By Sean Gandert (81) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 30 Jul 2008

Review of The Invasion (2007)

By Sean Gandert (81) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 30 Jul 2008

There are worse ways to spend an hour and a half than staring mindlessly at a movie's impossibly beautiful cast, but there are plenty of better…

Review of Transformers (2007)

Review of Rendition (2007)

By Sean Gandert (81) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 30 Jul 2008

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Sean Gandert (81) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 29 Jul 2008

Despite being perhaps McKay and Ferrell's weakest film yet, it's still a McKay/Ferrell film, and that's enough…

Review of Encounters at the End of the World (2007)
