F 53% A Dirty Shame (2004) " Makes sex seem the least exciting thing in the world. And that's a dirty shame, indeed." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Sep 30, 2004
F 19% She Hate Me (2004) " Finally, a movie that can vie with Gigli as the worst feature of the new millennium." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Aug 19, 2004
D- 15% Gothika (2003) " A series of cheap, ineffective scares that would have felt more at home as a mid-'70s TV Movie of the Week starring, say, Kate Jackson, Doug McClure and maybe Dennis Weaver in the Dutton role." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Nov 20, 2003
D 57% Kinky Boots (2006) " Oh, do come in, love -- welcome to the Twee Brit Comedy Factory." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted May 13, 2006
D 44% The Jacket (2005) " Too littered with loose ends and 'huh?' moments to work as the edgy sci-fi thriller-romance it wants to be." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Mar 3, 2005
D 14% 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001) " A bloody, tedious mess." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Feb 22, 2001
61% Mystery Men (1999) " Mystery Men is like its hapless heroes. It's a wannabe that has the best intentions -- including a pronounced anti-gun stance -- but none of the knack it takes to save the day, or itself." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Feb 21, 2004
77% Eyes Wide Shut (1999) " As it rambles on, it makes less and less of the material, rather than more." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Feb 21, 2004
44% Charlie's Angels - Full Throttle (2003) " Has its moments, but never takes wing." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jun 27, 2003
9% The Skulls (2000) " The Skulls is shot and edited with enough verve to make you forget what a load of junk it is." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
27% Hollow Man (2000) " Hollow Man was met by hollow laughter from mocking audience members." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
22% Coyote Ugly (2000) " Coyote Ugly is profoundly stupid, earnestly inept at conveying a story and hellbent on wallowing in its shallow emotional manipulations." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
57% Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) " Too bad writer-director Lucas left out the gee-whiz enthusiasm of the original movies. He also left out memorable characters. He left out the fun." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
39% Black and White (2002) " Black and White is defeated by its structural shapelessness, and a down-with-it attitude that glosses over the script's lack of any real analysis of hip-hop's cultural influence." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
11% Boys and Girls (2000) " You might wish for some of the grosser excesses of Road Trip or American Pie just to stay awake." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
19% The Beach (2000) " All the beauty in the world can't camouflage the movie's gorgeous emptiness." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
25% Isn't She Great (2000) " The filmmakers don't know what to make of their overblown subject." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
42% The Ninth Gate (1999) " Watching The Ninth Gate is like being force-marched through dank rooms piled high with musty books, led by drab tour guides who mutter the same pedantic points over and over." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
30% Jakob the Liar (1999) " A plodding, well-intended comedy-drama drowned in a muddy palette of grays and browns, thick with the odd sound of American actors using fake Polish accents." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
15% Random Hearts (1999) " A meandering mystery - drama - romance that never hits the right groove." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
33% Price of Glory (2000) " The movie clocks out with a cowardly sucker-punch." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
9% The Bachelor (1999) " The funny thing is, nobody who made The Bachelor seems to notice that the script pinpoints its own formulaic emptiness before wheezing on to its foregone happy ending." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
57% Dr. T & The Women (2000) " Has hardly any plot at all, or believable characters." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
67% Stir of Echoes (1999) " After a compelling first half, the main echoes that this ghost yarn stirs up are of other movies." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
55% Pitch Black (2000) " In the movie's last hour, writer-director David Twohy pretends to explore his stick figures' moral choices, and he forgets to deliver the thrills." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
37% Bicentennial Man (1999) " This tin man has a heart, but his movie needs a pulse." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
9% I Dreamed of Africa (2000) " Africa never gets inside the heads of its characters. They may be based on actual people, but they're flat as cardboard." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
20% The Crew (2000) " As entertaining as Ovaltine, it's a lead contender for worst movie of the year." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
30% The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999) " Half-baked." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
43% The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle (2000) " The movie never quite coheres into a consistent vision." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
27% House on Haunted Hill (1999) " A bloody mess." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
40% Snow Falling on Cedars (1999) " Pretty but chilly." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
37% Rules of Engagement (2000) " What distinguishes Rules is its use of xenophobia to bolster its legal arguments, and presumably tap audience's deep-seated prejudices." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
10% The Watcher (2000) " He likes to watch, but you might not." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
49% The Road to El Dorado (2000) " It's not cute enough for kids, not clever enough for adults. It's gorgeous but curiously dull." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
48% The Way of the Gun (2000) " Christopher McQuarrie makes a sluggishly paced directing debut." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000

Posted Jan 1, 2000

Posted Jan 1, 2000
28% Gossip (1999) " Gossip isn't really worth talking about." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
20% Next Friday (2000) " The flick could use Chris Tucker, co-star of the first Friday, AWOL in the sequel. He probably took a look at the script and realized this sequel was no reason to shout, 'T.G.I.F.'" — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
3% Bless the Child (2000) " Bless the Child is a demonstration of the evil of banality." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000

Posted Jan 1, 2000
19% Love Stinks (1999) " The title is a misnomer. This movie has nothing to do with love; it's about lust, lucre and well-paid losers." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
17% Here On Earth (2000) " Here on Earth is a missed opportunity." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
52% Angela's Ashes (1999) " Mostly it's a series of visits to the welfare line." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
D+ 9% Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000) " A bad remake of Scream 3." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Jan 1, 2000
C- 72% Inland Empire (2006) " With Inland Empire, the whole thing feels stuck in Lynch's noggin." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Feb 8, 2007
C- 55% Déjà Vu (2007) " Déjà Vu gives you the feeling that you've seen parts of this movie before. Only, the parts were all from better films." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted Nov 21, 2006
C- 36% Art School Confidential (2006) " It's often as naive as it is knowing and can feel as unfocused and sketchy as a film one of Strathmore's students might make." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Posted May 11, 2006
C- 61% Find Me Guilty (2006) " A few good performances can't carry a sluggishly written and directed movie that you may want to rename Find Me an Exit." — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
