" Stylistic but ultimately unsatisfying."
Posted Apr 9, 2008
 
Romeo Is Bleeding (1993)23%
/
 
" Engaging but decidedly less than earth-shattering."
Posted Oct 2, 2007
 
Stanley Kubrick: A Life In Pictures (2001)83%
/
 
" This is a documentary that could easily have been overly self-indulgent or fashionably irreverent but instead appeals to one’s intelligence and provides glimpses of a dynamic country cruising peacefully toward the millennium."
Posted Sep 24, 2007
 
Anthem (1997)80%
/
 
" Rather than being self-indulgent or pretentious, however, the film comes up with many believable details and changes in direction that enrich the bittersweet central relationship of the two leads."
Posted Aug 25, 2006
 
The Dogwalker (2006)55%
/
 
" The future is quieter, emotionally subdued and grayly mysterious, at least in the small hop forward imagined by filmmaker Michael Almereyda."
Posted Dec 16, 2005
 
Happy Here and Now (2002)45%
/
 
" Goes down smoothly thanks to the trio of lead actors, whose enthusiasm and chemistry help make up for the routine filmmaking."
Posted Mar 31, 2004
 
Passionada (2003)58%
/
 
" A masterfully entertaining final installment."
Posted Dec 8, 2003
 
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)94%
/
 
" The sound effects and musical choices will underwhelm some, but those previously tuned in with the TV series will be happy to see the team of bounty hunters back in action."
Posted Apr 3, 2003
 
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (2003)70%
/
 
" With a long running time that no amount of nonlinear construction can successfully quicken, Safety does have sequences and whole story lines that are fresh and thoughtfully entertaining."
Posted Mar 10, 2003
 
The Safety of Objects (2003)49%
/
 
" It's a coming-out party of a project that is never less than engaging."
Posted Feb 24, 2003
 
The Ballad of Bering Strait (2002)67%
/
 
" From the start Gods has a mighty wind of nostalgia and outright historical mythicizing that doesn't go down easily."
Posted Feb 19, 2003
 
Gods and Generals (2003)8%
/
 
" Not without moments of excitement, romance and rubber-burning redemption."
Posted Feb 6, 2003
 
Biker Boyz (2003)22%
/
 
" A gory good show for fans of R-rated horror mayhem."
Posted Jan 30, 2003
 
Final Destination 2 (2003)46%
/
 
" This boy-meets-girl movie is a chore to sit through."
Posted Jan 28, 2003
 
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)42%
/
 
" It's the stronger supporting players and script that make Knights a more palatable hybrid than Noon."
Posted Jan 28, 2003
 
Shanghai Knights (2003)65%
/
 
" A dreary exercise in cheap shocks aimed at kids."
Posted Jan 23, 2003
 
Darkness Falls (2003)8%
/
 
" A negligible thing at best and a determinedly unfunny thing at worst."
Posted Jan 16, 2003
 
A Guy Thing (2003)25%
/
 
" There really is a nice core to the movie, and O'Connell and Anderson are equally adept at getting laughs by playing up the characters' manic drive to keep going."
Posted Jan 15, 2003
 
Kangaroo Jack (2003)8%
/
 
" It's good to have the Next Generation crew back in action, and Patrick Stewart is still a commanding presence as Capt. Picard of the USS Enterprise."
Posted Dec 10, 2002
 
Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)36%
/
 
" Stealthily thought-provoking and brashly entertaining."
Posted Dec 10, 2002
 
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002)78%
/
 
" Several degrees shy of the gross-out contests one expects from current teen fare."
Posted Dec 10, 2002
 
The Hot Chick (2002)21%
/
 
" A cinematic flood of spectacular proportions."
Posted Dec 5, 2002
 
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)96%
/
 
" Pleasingly, Soderbergh does not pander much to expectations and more than once evokes Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey."
Posted Nov 22, 2002
 
Solaris (2002)64%
/
 
" Nalin's film has excellent production values and thoroughly transports one to its far-flung world of clear skies, jagged mountains and passionate affairs of the mind and body."
Posted Nov 14, 2002
 
The Samsara (2003)100%
/
 
" Where it goes wrong is in the combination of poetic sensibilities and run-of-the-mill narrative cinema."
Posted Oct 25, 2002
 
The Business of Fancydancing (2002)55%
/
 
" Of interest only to male viewers who are addicts of Scorsese-meets -Tarantino gangster-life frolics."
Posted Oct 11, 2002
 
Knockaround Guys (2002)19%
/
 
" Such a silly slugfest that no amount of surly attitude can hide its skeletal plot or stand in for satisfying characterizations."
Posted Oct 9, 2002
 
The Transporter (2002)53%
/
 
" Wears one down with a long running time and diminishing returns on its wicked premise."
Posted Sep 27, 2002
 
Captain Pantoja and the Special Services (1999)57%
/
 
" Stevens' vibrant creative instincts are the difference between this and countless other flicks about guys and dolls."
Posted Sep 26, 2002
 
Just a Kiss (2002)19%
/
 
" Getting a lot of quality cinema out of a tight budget, Jacobs (Just One Night) takes some risks in the storytelling department that result in a film that encourages one to think long and hard about the subject of guns."
Posted Sep 26, 2002
 
American Gun (2002)41%
/
 
" Miyazaki is one of world cinema's most wondrously gifted artists and storytellers."
Posted Sep 23, 2002
 
Spirited Away (2002)97%
/
 
" After one gets the feeling that the typical Hollywood disregard for historical truth and realism is at work here, it's a matter of finding entertainment in the experiences of Zishe and the fiery presence of Hanussen."
Posted Sep 23, 2002
 
Invincible (2002)53%
/
 
" The special effects and many scenes of weightlessness look as good or better than in the original, while the Oscar-winning sound and James Horner's rousing score make good use of the hefty audio system."
Posted Sep 20, 2002
 
Apollo 13: The IMAX Experience (2002)100%
/
 
" Virtuoso cinema that mercilessly holds a light up to wasted lives but also comes down off its high to make us care about these lost souls."
Posted Sep 18, 2002
 
Spun (2003)36%
/
 
" Other than a mildly engaging central romance, Hospital is sickly entertainment at best and mind-destroying cinematic pollution at worst."
Posted Sep 17, 2002
 
Heartbreak Hospital (2002)25%
/
 
" Why have a plot, characters, dialogue? Maybe the sequel will be called Simplistic: Bullets vs. Humans."
Posted Sep 17, 2002
 
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)0%
/
 
" Seems destined to flop both in theaters and in ancillary manifestations."
Posted Sep 12, 2002
 
Stealing Harvard (2002)8%
/
 
" The project's filmmakers forgot to include anything even halfway scary as they poorly rejigger Fatal Attraction into a high school setting."
Posted Sep 5, 2002
 
Swimfan (2002)15%
/
 
" Clunky plotting and an uninteresting character creep into a potentially funnier and more endearing scenario."
Posted Sep 5, 2002
 
The Banger Sisters (2002)47%
/
 
" The leads are so unmemorable, despite several attempts at lengthy dialogue scenes, that one eventually resents having to inhale this gutter romancer's secondhand material."
Posted Aug 27, 2002
 
Smokers Only (2002)15%
/
 
" When the film shows the awkwardness of the lead's caregiver relationship with his cranky father, De Villa finds material that's compelling, but such complications as the girlfriend's violent brother going ballistic and tragedy ensuing are rugged cliches."
Posted Aug 24, 2002
 
Washington Heights (2003)79%
/
 
" A zinger-filled crowd-pleaser that open-minded Elvis fans (but by no means all) will have fun with."
Posted Aug 21, 2002
 
Bubba Ho-Tep (2003)78%
/
 
" Pitifully written, with flagrant disregard for reality in the fashion of a spoof."
Posted Aug 5, 2002
 
XXX (2002)47%
/
 
" From the performances and wry dialogue to the sets and cinematography, Looking is a film with a lot of things going for it."
Posted Jul 17, 2002
 
Looking for Leonard (2002)80%
/
 
" The way Lilia loosens up and learns to dance enticingly for men in a timeless ritual that is empowering and not demeaning is Satin at its most engaging."
Posted Jul 17, 2002
 
Satin Rouge (2002)83%
/
 
" The acting, costumes, music, cinematography and sound are all astounding given the production's austere locales."
Posted Jun 7, 2002
 
The Fast Runner (2002)90%
/
 
" With a weak script that makes one think that the screenwriters never read the great war books of James Jones and Norman Mailer, the characters don't have near the dimensionality required to help the movie soar above the usual bloody Hollywood balderdash."
Posted Jun 7, 2002
 
Windtalkers (2002)33%
/
 
" It's got all the familiar Bruckheimer elements, and Schumacher does probably as good a job as anyone at bringing off the Hopkins/Rock collision of acting styles and onscreen personas."
Posted Jun 6, 2002
 
Bad Company (2002)10%
/
 
" Led by Griffin's smartly nuanced performance and enthusiasm, the cast has a lot of fun with the material."
Posted May 31, 2002
 
Undercover Brother (2002)76%
/
 
" Vigorously directed by Phil Alden Robinson and tautly scripted by Paul Attanasio and Daniel Pyne."
Posted May 28, 2002
 
The Sum of All Fears (2002)59%
