The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters
Directed by Seth Gordon (Documentary)

"Perhaps the most glorious aspect of "King of Kong" is the fact that just when it becomes obvious the filmmakers are manipulating the footage to make their hero look more heroic and their villain more Machiavellian, reality does them one better."

"King of Kong's real-life geeks and obsessives prove far more entertaining and dimensional than the fictional ones invented for Napoleon Dynamite and Eagle vs. Shark."

Them
Directed by David Moreau and Xavier Palud

"The movie revels in atmosphere, using long unbroken takes and ambient sound (crickets, wind) to lull you into complacency before unleashing nerve-jangling shocks...The directors David Moreau and Xavier Palud have reached past the current splatter-flick fad and cherry-picked devices from Alfred Hitchcock, Roman Polanski and early Steven Spielberg."

Superbad
Directed by Greg Mottola

"Superbad largely works not because the jokes are funny, which they generally are, even on the spitometer. It works because no matter how unapologetically vulgar their words, no matter how single-mindedly priapic their preoccupations, these men and boys are good and decent and tender and true."
