	I AM LEGEND Release: Dec 07 - Review: 21 Sep 08 *Will Smith Saves The World - Again...* Everyone on Earth is dead - but they left the CGI running. TOP

	I, ROBOT Release: Jul 04 - Review: 7 Dec 05 *I, Gamebot.* ...a tragic depravity of speculative fiction writer Isaac Asimov's complex vision. TOP
	I THINK I LOVE MY WIFE Release: Mar 07 - Review: 21 Jan 10 *I think I hate this movie.* Chris Rock is a powerful force. I love the guy. But in I THINK I LOVE MY WIFE, this mighty black man looks mighty beige. TOP
	ICE AGE: DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS Release: Jul 09 - Review: 6 Nov 09 *On its merry way to extinction...* ...the third and most spectacular in the ICE AGE series - and probably the least interesting. TOP
	IDENTITY Release: Apr 03- Review: 29 Jul 05 *Identity Cleft.* ...a finely-crafted journey through the mind of a multiple personality during the course of purging his violent personas. TOP
	THE ILLUSIONIST Release: Aug 06 - Review: 7 Sep 06 *The Distractionist.* In a movie about misdirection, the opulent production design, set decoration and sumptuous cinematography of THE ILLUSIONIST serves to misdirect the audience into believing that there is something more profound at stake than the Getting of Panty. TOP
	THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS Release: Jan 10 - Review: 4 Jan 11 *The Distractionarium of Heath Ledger.* We watch this MUNCHAUSEN-like parable unfold with the constant distraction in the back of our heads that IMAGINARIUM - not THE DARK KNIGHT - is Ledger's actual swan song. TOP

	IN BRUGES Release: Feb 08 - Review: 19 Jul 09 *Quentin Tarantino's THE ODD COUPLE.* Humor so black and ironic, it's like stabbing nuns with the same ruler they used to rap your knuckles during piano lessons. TOP
	IN GOOD COMPANY Release: Dec 04 - Review: 4 Jan 06 Team Mediocrity. One day Topher Grace will learn that "acting" is not "behaving like you're making one big apology." TOP
	IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT Release: Oct 67 - Review: 1 Jun 10 *Before Eddie Murphy, there was MISTER Tibbs.* Eddie Murphy's proclamation of being a "nigger with a badge" in 48 HRS., though a wrecking ball for its time, pales when weighed against the first "nigger with a badge" to do some real psychological damage to white supremacy - Sidney Poitier in IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT. TOP
	IN THE LOOP Release: Jul 09 - Review: 7 May 11 *So you like a little politics with your swearing...* ...a thunder-paced, dialog-driven British comedy with corruption more insidious than SYRIANA and dialog more fierce than PULP FICTION. TOP
	IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH Release: Sep 07 - Review: 29 Sep 08 *Into the Valley of Death.* ...driving home the embarrassing metaphor that America's Goliath is being kneecapped by the non-nuclear, stone-age fighting tactics of Iraq's David. TOP

	AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH Release: May 06 - Review: 12 Jun 06 *Sunshine Superman.* ...outlining possibly the most dangerous threat to our way of life since Dubya took the oath: global warming. TOP
	THE INCREDIBLE HULK Release: Jun 08 - Review: 4 Jul 08 *Hulk movie - Smash!* ...an adrenalized shot to the sternum – if it doesn’t knock you black and blue, it will at least slap you and call you Susan. TOP
	THE INCREDIBLES Release: Nov 04 - Review: 20 Jun 07 *Puts the "in" credible.* The humor is wit, rather than slapstick, the heroism is moral rather than muscle-bound and the whole outlook is adult rather than kiddie - THE INCREDIBLES is as real a movie as a cartoon gets. TOP
	INDEPENDENCE DAY Release: Jul 96 - Review: 19 Apr 09 *The Arrogance of Independence.* "We will not go gently into the night; we will not vanish without a fight..." Somewhere an orchestra is playing; somewhere a cheese factory is dying. TOP
	INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL Release: Jul 08 - Review: 9 Jul 08 *Crystal Numbskull and the Kingdom of the Buttoned Shirt.* Written by mutton-fist Lucas, directed by No-Risk Spielberg, and starring Ford with his shirt buttoned, INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL starts off promising, then gets stupider by the stunt. TOP

	Inf Its
	THE INFORMANT Release: Sep 09 - Review: 11 Mar 10 *A little less corn, a little more syrup.* From its ugly orange posters to its silly, misleading theatrical trailers, everything about THE INFORMANT is an exercise in bad marketing. TOP
	THE INFORMERS Release: Jun 09 - Review: 20 Oct 09 *Blond on Bland.* Empty, bereft of soul, like its characters; a movie experience that leaves you feeling like a victim of a drive-by rape... TOP
	INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS Release: Aug 09 - Review: 13 Feb 10 *Gloriously Bastardly.* ... four tenuously linked storylines eventually intertwining for the payoff. And what a payoff! A catharsis for Jewdom. TOP
	INHERIT THE WIND Release: Nov 1960 - Review: 9 Dec 05 ...And The Wind Cries Jesus. ... come into this movie as either cognizant of Evolutionary theory or an Ignoramus who believes in talking snakes. And you'll probably go out the same way. TOP
	INSIDE MAN Release: Mar 06 - Review:7 Apr 06 *The Heistman Cometh.* ...there is a robbery within a robbery in this heist, and it is that secondary robbery which gets everyone's knickers knotted. TOP
	INSIDIOUS Release: Apr 11 - Review: 28 Oct 11 Not Normally this Para. ... one of the few modern horror films that is truly scary. TOP
	THE INTERNATIONAL Release: Feb 09 - Review: 27 Jun 09 *Resistance is Futile.* When one of the world's largest international banks is discovered brokering covert arms deals with China and the Middle East... well, who's really surprised these days? TOP
	THE INTERPRETER Release: Apr 05 - Review: 20 May 06 *Lost In Translation.* ... so riddled with callous discrepancies and glaring flaws that it completely loses all coherence before we have time to realize how boring it is. TOP
	INTERSECTION Release: Jan 94 - Review: 24 Nov 05 *Gere Up For Double The Love.* Almost a Chick-Flick version of MEMENTO, as Vincent (Gere) reminiscences back through his life... TOP
	INTO THE WILD Release: Sep 07 - Review: 1 Mar 09 *Northern Over-Exposure.* Emile Hirsch as Christopher Johnson McCandless (Feb 1968 - Aug 1992), who shucked off his earthly possessions, did a Henry David Thoreau and flitted into the wilds of Alaska to live off the land. TOP

	INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS 1978 Release: Dec 78 - Review: 6 Apr 09 *Communist Plants in Skeletal Pants.* ...Finney's story puts forth a very plausible biological, rather than frontal-assault-forceful, method of invasion; like China invading America with knowledge rather than combat. TOP
	THE INVENTION OF LYING Release: Oct 09 - Review: 28 Jan 10 *More Invention Required.* ...starts as a fantastic original idea, fleshed into hilarious absurdity by Gervais, then slips in the puddle of Romantic Comedy - and you know what happens when you hit your brain on that pavement. TOP
	INVICTUS Release: Dec 09 - Review: 28 Mar 11 Pigskin Parable. Morgan Freeman gets South Africa to cheer together in a funny accent. TOP
	INVINCIBLE Release: Aug 06 - Review: 5 Apr 07 *Vince-ible.* INVINCIBLE is one of those "Inspired by a True Story" films that is itself geared to inspire. Grimace. TOP
	IRON MAIDEN FLIGHT 666 Release: Apr 09 - Review: 7 Dec 11 *Maiden Voyage.* An incredible Iron Maiden backstage pass! For fans, non-fans and devil-worshippers alike. TOP
	IRON MAN Release: May 08 - Review: 17 May 08 *Man of Steel, Ethics of Plastic.* ...a steel-belted planet-crusher of a film; alloy feet on the ground, red-and-gold armor streaking for sub-orbital skies. TOP
	IRON MAN 2 Release: May 10 - Review: 23 Jun 10 *Jumping The Stark.* ...like all superhero sequels, suffers from cramming us with characters and classic storylines in its desperate need to impress. My hole feels stretched. Not in that good way either. TOP
	THE ISLAND Release: Jun 05 - Review: 6 Dec 10 *Attack of the Clones*. Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson discover they are clones living in an underground community, being cultivated for rich people as "harvestable beings" for their body parts. The rest of the time they're running from Djimon Hounsou... TOP
	IT MIGHT GET LOUD Release: Aug 09 - Review: 10 Mar 11 Whole Lotta Bruv. Three warriors from three countries, three different attacks, brothers in arms and axes, a very cool docu-movie muso-mentary. TOP
