| ABC Africa (2002) | "
An awkward, superficial travelogue about Iranians on a publicity excursion to Africa, providing no more insight into Uganda than a Sally Struthers heart-pull." Posted May 21, 2003 |

| Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) | "
Based on its returns, one might be tempted to speculate whether parents have been placed under a spell, cursed to forfeit their coins in exchange for an afternoon with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." Posted May 21, 2003 |

| Nijinsky: The Diaries of Vaslav Nijinsky (2002) | "
I don't have enough eyes to roll at all the anonymous herons, woods, streams, nudes, and wheat fields that kill time between recreations of Nijinsky's renowned choreography." Posted Dec 2, 2003 |

| The Princess Blade (2003) | "
Fails to transform its aggressive pessimism into something bolder, and richer. At least Donnie Yen's choreography is sporadically clever." Posted Dec 2, 2003 |
