3.5/5
 
"It could use about a half hour cut from it, but still highly entertaining."
Posted Sep 19, 2007
 
Anthem (1997)80%
/
4/5
 
"To say the film is weird would be cliché, it's way beyond that the film drew laughs and gasps from the audience. The odd thing about it all -- it works."
Posted Feb 10, 2007
 
It is Fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE (2007)80%
/
3/5
 
"Along with a terrific cast, [director] Nunez keeps the action driving forward: dangerous, sexy, and conflicted."
Posted May 6, 2006
 
Coastlines (2006)48%

4.5/5
 
"One of the scariest films of the 90s."
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
The Blair Witch Project (1999)85%
/
4/5
 
"This is one of the greatest teen films of all time."
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
American Pie (1999)60%

2/5
 
"The problems with Jedi cannot be fixed even with the best digital software in the galaxy: the weak story, the bad performances, the burp jokes, and Luke's bizarre-looking hair mop."
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
Return of the Jedi (1983)75%
/
4/5
 
"A stellar debut feature from Sofia Coppola and it's a must see."

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)67%
/
4.5/5
 
"A bold move for Anderson, an amazing display of acting for Tom Cruise, and one of the best films of 1999."
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
Magnolia (1999)84%
/
2/5
 
"Scary Movie's humor is definitely in the gutter."
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
Scary Movie (2000)53%
/
5/5
 
"A triumph. Featuring a bizarrely original storyline, the screenplay by Charlie Kaufman is brought to the screen by Jonze in what may turn out to be one of the funniest films of the year."
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
Being John Malkovich (1999)92%
/
2.5/5
 
"Universal Pictures has definitely left something under your Christmas tree, but you might want to clean it up soon before it leaves a permanent stain."
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)52%
/
3.5/5
 
"Funny to me, but maybe not for everyone. Hell, I don't care, you're either in the category of the type of person who will like this or you're not. The choice is yours, but anyone pre-disposed to like this type of film will be happy they took the trip."

"Definitely outdoes the first film. It's the Godfather II of computer animated films."

2/5
 
"You either love it or hate it. For those who loved it, I have only one word: overrated.c"
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
Donnie Darko (2001)83%
/
4/5
 
"For me, Sith succeeds in providing a satisfying ending to the films while also closing a chapter of my own life."
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005)79%
/
4/5
 
"Steven Spielberg's A.I.: Artificial Intelligence is a return to sci-fi in true form."
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)73%
/
3.5/5
 
"A hilarious spoof of Trek and Trek fandom. While Galaxy Quest could have easily taken potshots at geeks, rather the film acts as more of a celebration of these sometimes misguided devotees."
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
Galaxy Quest (1999)90%
/
3/5
 
"In Cassavetes's inventive and iconoclastic hands, both the content and form of American film underwent a radical transformation."

"A moving and stark reminder that the casualties of war reach much further than we imagine."

"See Scratch for the history, see Scratch for the music, see Scratch for a lesson in scratching, but, most of all, see it for the passion."

"This is one of those rare docs that paints a grand picture of an era and makes the journey feel like a party."

Posted Dec 28, 2002
 
The Man from Elysian Fields (2002)51%

4/5
 
"The heart of the film is the drop dead sexy Drea De Matteo who, as the mother and real head of the family, commands every scene."
Posted Dec 16, 2002
 
R-Xmas (2002)58%
/
3/5
 
"Rewarding for its brash originality and daring in etching a portrait of a man who refuses to take life's disappointments lying down."

Empire (2002)22%

3/5
 
"A timely and incisive film about the untenable conflict between warring American values -- religious fundamentalism versus family love."
Posted Dec 8, 2002
 
Arthur Dong: Family Fundamentals ()75%
/
1.5/5
 
"Perhaps the most moronic horror film I've seen this year."

Amandla: A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony (2003)82%
/
1.5/5
 
"In the end, the plot is revealed and everything is wrapped up just like an episode of Scooby Doo. But not after the bumbling Tara Reid tortures us with her ditziness."
Posted Dec 8, 2002
 
Josie and the Pussycats (2001)53%
/
4.5/5
 
"Jarmusch and Whitaker are masters at work proving once again that you don't need a huge budget to tell a meaningful story."
Posted Dec 8, 2002
 
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999)81%
/
4/5
 
"Succeeds because of a combination of great performances (Tea Leoni is a real standout), a solid script and an ending that is not exactly what you would expect."

The Family Man (2000)52%
/
3/5

Lan Yu (2002)66%
/
2.5/5

Posted Dec 8, 2002
 
Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001)41%
/
3/5
 
"Perfect for the single-digit aged set, who will love it, and not terrible for adults since the film moves fast at a quick 75 minutes."
Posted Dec 8, 2002
 
Winnie the Pooh - The Tigger Movie (2000)63%
/
1/5
 
"All of this adds up to a story we don't care about with nothing particularly involving and about two laughs both in the first ten minutes."
Posted Dec 8, 2002
 
The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000)43%
/
3.5/5
 
"Films about filmmaking are always risky ... However, in the capable hands of Roman Coppola, “CQ” becomes less a self-reflexive film and more of a documentation of a playful period in cinema."
