Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
1/5 5% Serving Sara (2002) " It's a glorified sitcom, and a long, unfunny one at that." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Aug 29, 2002
14% Black Knight (2001) " Junger has simply overestimated his star's ability to compensate for Black Knight's overall failings." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Nov 21, 2001
52% The Last Castle (2001) " Viewers willing to buy the righteousness of the convicts' struggle may be thoroughly entertained by The Last Castle, but others will find themselves bored and a little put off by Lurie's unsubtle manipulations." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Oct 18, 2001
46% Greenfingers (2001) " We've been here before, and on more than one occasion." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Oct 9, 2001
72% Training Day (2001) " The movie is headed for a long, brutal and bloody payoff, one that may be too over-the-top for public consumption right about now." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Oct 5, 2001
29% Bubble Boy (2001) " It's easily the worst movie of the year, the longest 84 minutes I've spent in a theater since the ill-fated Town & Country." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Aug 24, 2001
7% Summer Catch (2001) " The film is about as appealing as a sexually transmitted disease." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Aug 23, 2001
52% American Pie 2 (2001) " Packed with juvenile gags that would barely pass muster in a fifth-grade boys bathroom." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Aug 9, 2001
47% The Princess Diaries (2001) " As slick, professional and bland as anything else Garry Marshall has directed in recent years, including 1999's Runaway Bride and The Other Sister. He doesn't do edgy." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Aug 9, 2001
52% Rush Hour 2 (2001) " Rush Hour II is built on the flimsiest of premises for a sequel." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Aug 9, 2001
50% Jurassic Park III (2001) " Is little more than a glorified slasher movie, albeit with nonhuman villains." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jul 20, 2001
71% Baby Boy (2001) " Fans of Singleton's early work may be disappointed by the shrill, pointless exchanges, directionless nature and tidy conclusions of Baby Boy." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jun 29, 2001
10% What's the Worst That Could Happen? (2001) " Surprisingly routine given its gathered talent." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jun 1, 2001
76% Moulin Rouge! (2001) " A gloriously excessive, lavishly decorated failure." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jun 1, 2001
25% Pearl Harbor (2001) " Pearl Harbor may be the most buttery popcorn movie of the hot season." — Orlando Weekly
Posted May 24, 2001
33% Angel Eyes (2001) " More engrossing than it ought to be, given its slim story line and subdued moodiness." — Orlando Weekly
Posted May 17, 2001
47% The Mummy Returns (2001) " Seems to be constructed strictly as a go-for-broke cinematic thrill ride, a sort of demo for the latest and most spectacular visual effects available from Hollywood. It feels like overkill." — Orlando Weekly
Posted May 3, 2001
13% Town & Country (2000) " Every bit as disappointing as the advance word suggested." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Apr 27, 2001
14% Driven (2001) " Packed with abysmal dialogue, ham-fisted acting and laughable dramatic sequences straight out of the daytime soaps." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Apr 27, 2001
33% One Night at McCool's (2001) " Isn't nearly as clever as it sounds." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Apr 27, 2001
28% Kingdom Come (2001) " A messy, largely disappointing comedy-drama that's hopelessly torn between sincerity and outrageousness." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Apr 11, 2001
15% Tomcats (2001) " The lamest waste of time at the movies since See Spot Run." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Mar 29, 2001
9% Say It Isn't So (2001) " A forgettable, unsatisfying comedy." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Mar 22, 2001
33% 15 Minutes (2001) " Contrived, didactic and packed with mindless violence." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Mar 9, 2001
56% The Mexican (2001) " A whimsical but oddly unsatisfying piece of work." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Mar 1, 2001
23% See Spot Run (2001) " To explain the extreme, lingering stench of See Spot Run, it might be helpful to think of the movie itself as a dog." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Mar 1, 2001
20% Monkeybone (2001) " A silly, creaky, pop-art contraption that short-changes its serious philosophical and psychological underpinnings in favor of juvenile gags and gimmicks." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Feb 22, 2001
20% Down to Earth (2001) " A mediocre Chris Rock vehicle." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Feb 16, 2001
55% Malena (2000) " An offputting blend of low comedy and high melodrama." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Feb 1, 2001
17% The Wedding Planner (2001) " Desperately unfunny, emotionally flat." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jan 25, 2001

Posted Dec 21, 2000
63% Chocolat (2000) " Often comes off as a glorified sitcom, and vastly predictable." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Dec 21, 2000
10% Dungeons & Dragons (2000) " Longtime opponents of the hobby might be tempted to ask themselves an important question: How could this sort of overblown silliness pose any threat, except as a monumental time-killer?" — Orlando Weekly
Posted Dec 8, 2000
48% Vertical Limit (2000) " Icy mess." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Dec 7, 2000
52% Angela's Ashes (1999) " The last and least of the season's overlong, Oscar-reaching prestige productions." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jan 1, 2000
25% Mission To Mars (2000) " It's disappointing that the filmmaker didn't place greater emphasis on storytelling or character development." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jan 1, 2000
58% Road Trip (2000) " Aims for the edgy humor of There's Something About Mary, but as directed and co-written by Todd Phillips, has neither the smarts nor the sass of the latter film." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jan 1, 2000
14% Red Planet (2000) " The lack of narrative drive or genuine surprises may make viewers wish that the Mars invaders had instead tried their luck on another planet." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jan 1, 2000
16% The Art of War (2000) " It's extremely difficult to decide which element of The Art of War ... is its most annoying. There are just so many to choose from." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jan 1, 2000
67% American Psycho (2000) " The idea of cramming one's mind with these unavoidably ugly images is about as appealing as spending even one minute with the guys at Bateman's office." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jan 1, 2000
39% Black and White (2002) " I kept wanting to shuck writer-director Toback's fictional conceits and proceed instead with a real documentary on the theme." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jan 1, 2000
54% Girl, Interrupted (1999) " Nothing to go crazy over." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jan 1, 2000
57% Godzilla 2000 (2000) " So many howlers are uttered (in badly dubbed English) in Godzilla 2000 -- the 23rd movie starring that durable beast from the East -- that it's easy to lose count." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jan 1, 2000
19% The Beach (2000) " Less -than- gripping." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jan 1, 2000
64% Bring It On (2000) " Bring It On is otherwise as skimpy as some of the clothes worn by Dunst." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jan 1, 2000
22% Stigmata (1999) " Liberally ladled piles of mumbo jumbo!" — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jan 1, 2000
45% What Lies Beneath (2000) " What lies beneath? Too much that adds up to too little." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jan 1, 2000
28% The Story of Us (1999) " Reasonably well-acted but executed without much grace or style." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jan 1, 2000
24% Loser (2000) " The conflicts ... are undeveloped" — Orlando Weekly
