" Enthusiastically scored to the titular quiet storms, ersatz c&w, and hip-hop textures, the anti-rockist Slow Jam King is more fun to listen to than watch..."
Posted Jun 6, 2006
 
Slow Jam King (2004)n/a
/
 
" Nathalie is intricate, provocative, cleanly acted, but it's never entirely convincing -- and never more so than in the table-turning climax."
Posted Apr 11, 2006
 
Nathalie (2003)73%
/
 
" Syd's emotional tailspin is embarrassingly banal, and his assertion that 'everybody here hates me' quickly applies to the audience as well."
Posted Feb 7, 2006
 
London (2006)14%
/
 
" Irredeemably dull."
Posted Dec 20, 2005
 
White Countess (2005)51%
/
 
" We're going to trot out the mandatory one-word Beatles-album-derived closer: Help!"
Posted Sep 27, 2005
 
The Rodnees: We Mod Like Dat! (2005)n/a
/
 
" Ralph Walker is no Max Fischer, and his monomania gets dull fast."
Posted Aug 2, 2005
 
Saint Ralph (2005)62%
/
 
" The amped-up Dickian scenario features too many frame-filling fireballs."
Posted May 17, 2005
 
2009: Lost Memories (2005)33%
/
 
" The change in tone, from swiftly destabilizing drama to outright fantasy, feels less like Kim provocatively switching gears, and more like he's painted himself into a corner."
Posted Apr 26, 2005
 
3-Iron (2005)87%
/
 
" Marred by a rambling voice-over at one end and a pat therapeutic resolution on the other, the film has a nice half-hour patch somewhere in the middle."
Posted Apr 12, 2005
 
House of D (2005)10%
/
 
" The let's-travel-through-the-TV-screen sequence was better in Fat Albert."
Posted Mar 22, 2005
 
The Ring Two (2005)20%
/
 
" Feels contrived."
Posted Mar 7, 2005
 
Millions (2005)88%
/
 
" Bigger lopes along endlessly, a no-surprises foray into backstage high jinks and the notion of life as the best acting coach there is."
Posted Feb 22, 2005
 
Bigger Than the Sky (2005)13%
/
 
" Most of the action is tedious, and the less you pay attention to the dialogue, the less you'll feel your hand inadvertently twitching as if with joystick."
Posted Feb 15, 2005
 
Sky Blue (2005)55%
/
 
" Vigorously pushes the supernatural line throughout, but unfortunately its final movement is so incoherent that the whole thing collapses."
Posted Jan 11, 2005
 
White Noise (2005)8%
/
 
" Exasperating Southern-lit seminar."
Posted Dec 28, 2004
 
A Love Song for Bobby Long (2004)42%
/
 
" The overall approach is to throw preordained movie sequences (rap number, shopping spree) together and hope for the best."
Posted Dec 21, 2004
 
Fat Albert (2004)21%
/
 
" So true to its title that I've forgotten many of the details already -- and I just saw it this morning."
Posted Nov 30, 2004
 
AmnesiA (2004)n/a
/
 
" Chad Friedrichs's doc has too many rock-crit talking heads, too often saying the same thing based on scant information -- a clumsy portrait of the artist that inadvertently serves as a mirror of the critical faculty itself."
Posted Nov 16, 2004
 
Jandek - Jandek on Corwood (2004)89%
/
 
" Unnervingly smooth, mouths moving in strange, even frightening formations, the Polar people are the least convincing things on-screen, glaring impostors amid the otherwise painstakingly rendered scenery."
Posted Nov 9, 2004
 
The Polar Express (2004)57%
/
 
" Razor-walking self-consciousness (or just plain braininess) is perhaps impossible to depict coherently on-screen, and the someone's-watching-me vibe is otherwise overfamiliar to moviegoers."
Posted Oct 26, 2004
 
Enduring Love (2004)60%
/
 
" Stella Street goes from can-I-laugh- yet? to wanna-go- home in about three minutes."
Posted Oct 20, 2004
 
Stella Street (2003)12%
/
 
" The filmmakers don't have enough faith in the world they've created."
Posted Sep 28, 2004
 
Shark Tale (2004)33%
/
 
" I remember best [Gilda's] mutable hair, which went from a bob to a wave to a longish Angelina Jolie coif."
Posted Sep 14, 2004
 
Head in the Clouds (2004)15%
/
 
" In the rare moments when a rifle, grenade, howitzer, bayonet, dagger, fist, land mine, or flamethrower isn't being deployed, the film pushes its melodramatic plotline with soap operatic shamelessness."
Posted Aug 31, 2004
 
Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War (2004)80%
/
 
" Scenes end abruptly, laughs are as rare as yetis, and the overarching question seems to be: Can we turn this into a franchise?"
Posted Aug 17, 2004
 
Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004)27%
/
 
" Aside from cameos by Jim Broadbent (as the drunken major) and Peter O'Toole (as Nina's reclusive, eccentric father), much of the acting strains for a sophistication that quickly becomes annoying."
Posted Aug 17, 2004
 
Bright Young Things (2004)65%
/
 
" Foreman aficionados may want to keep the curtains of this theater drawn, and listen as his fertile lines suggest what could have been: 'The space between the trees is blank enough for something interesting to happen in it.'"
Posted Jul 13, 2004
 
Planet Earth: Dreams (2004)43%
/
 
" At times it plays like an affecting portrait of a marriage on life support intersecting with an earnest coming-of-age story, at times like a Lands' End catalog in which all the models have been instructed to squint at the middle distance."
Posted Jul 13, 2004
 
The Door in the Floor (2004)66%
/
 
" As parody, it's toothless and often smug, but as random Ferrellspeak generator, it has its delights."
Posted Jul 6, 2004
 
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)64%
/
 
" Hard to recommend, with its haphazard tone, wobbly acting, and cipher-like lead."
Posted Jun 1, 2004
 
FireDancer (2004)33%
/
 
" Stateside's real-life frame allows the complexities of mental illness and military service to lose dramatic tension, resulting in a desultory home stretch."
Posted May 18, 2004
 
Stateside (2004)24%
/
 
" The orgy of morphing, shrieking, lightning-cracking, and habitual rope-swinging quickly turns oppressive."
Posted May 11, 2004
 
Van Helsing (2004)22%
/
 
" Paige eventually comes to a self-affirming decision, but the Danish interlude succeeds too well in making us feel her boredom."
Posted Apr 6, 2004
 
The Prince & Me (2004)27%
/
 
" Transpires in a somewhat chintzy fantasy kingdom lousy with more cameos than your typical Love Boat season."
Posted Apr 6, 2004
 
Ella Enchanted (2004)50%
/
 
" Has characters explain transparent motivations, to convince the gullible that the feelings here are real."
Posted Mar 23, 2004
 
Jersey Girl (2004)40%
/
 
" Emphatically acted, ponderous, and ultimately a little silly."
Posted Mar 2, 2004
 
The Reckoning (2004)40%
/
 
" Christensen and most of the young men are barely there."
Posted Jan 27, 2004
 
The Perfect Score (2004)16%
/
 
" Airlessly melodramatic, full of moral brow-furrowing."
Posted Dec 16, 2003
 
House of Sand and Fog (2003)76%
/
 
" The star-is-born trajectory nourishes some howlers ... as well as a thumpingly unsubtle portrayal of the creative process."
Posted Dec 9, 2003
 
Honey (2003)19%
/
 
" Wan Christmas concoction."
Posted Nov 4, 2003
 
Elf (2003)83%
/
 
" Based-on- a-true-story kitschfest."
Posted Oct 28, 2003
 
Radio (2003)34%
/
 
" Returner might work best if one could sub its soundtrack of r&b vamps and 'I've Got the Power'-style beats for a steady stream of MST3K chatter."
Posted Oct 14, 2003
 
Returner (2002)35%
/
 
" A thirdhand lark."
Posted Sep 16, 2003
 
Secondhand Lions (2003)60%
/
 
" The film's problems are too numerous to list, but look for the boom mic at approximately 45m."
Posted Aug 26, 2003
 
Green Card Fever (2003)40%
/
 
" George's portrait of hobo lives gets stuck in self-absorption."
Posted Aug 19, 2003
 
Catching Out (2003)78%
/
 
" Blame Freaky screenwriters Heather Hach and Leslie Dixon for the yellow-peril fantasies, and instead curl up with Rodgers's novel and its sequel, A Billion for Boris, which remain eminently enjoyable today."
Posted Aug 5, 2003
 
Freaky Friday (2003)88%
/
 
" Rodriguez's DIY monomania ... is laudable in theory, but in SK3D he may have unwittingly found a twin in the Toymaker, trapped in his own creation."
Posted Jul 22, 2003
 
Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over (2003)44%
/
 
" One gets the sinking feeling, while watching, that many will love it, so why not you?"
Posted Jul 22, 2003
 
Camp (2003)62%
/
 
" The formidable lineage, alas, doesn't make for a compelling work."
Posted Jul 15, 2003
 
The Sea is Watching (2003)58%
/
 
" Even if, per Wilde, all art is quite useless, it need not be quite as useless as this."
Posted Jul 15, 2003
