4/5	"The film's true star is its script." -- Film Threat Posted Dec 6, 2005	The Hours (2002)	80%
4/5	"The film confronts the era’s intolerance with regard to gender and race relations, but it should be noted that Haynes films without a trace of irony. The actors offer similarly genuine performances." -- Film Threat Posted Dec 6, 2005	Far From Heaven (2002)	91%
4/5	"In an election season where there�s so much bitter partisan bickering, it�s good to see that some people haven�t lost their non-partisan sense of humour. " -- Chart Magazine Posted Oct 26, 2004	Team America: World Police (2004)	77%
4/5	"*"Lo and behold, the Scrubs* guy turns out to be a pretty good filmmaker."*" -- Chart Magazine* Posted Aug 20, 2004	Garden State (2004)	87%
3/5	""The stoner flick has a new face."" -- Chart Magazine Posted Aug 20, 2004	Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004)	73%
4/5	""Screenwriter Stuart Beattie can be faulted for his cop-out ending, but the other principal players make the best of what they're given to work with."" -- Chart Magazine Posted Aug 20, 2004	Collateral (2004)	86%
3/5	"Judd is a natural to play a sophisticated Kentucky belle, while Kline's Ivy-League demeanour and metrosexual mannerisms make him the perfect candidate to play Porter. " -- Chart Magazine Posted Jul 7, 2004	De-Lovely (2004)	49%
2/5	"Perhaps it's a stretch to call this a 'literary' romance. It's firmly entrenched in pulp territory." -- Chart Magazine Posted Jul 7, 2004	The Notebook (2004)	50%
4/5	"Baadasssss! is not only a poignant portrait of Melvin Van Peebles' drive and determination, but also a revealing glimpse at the crazy world of independent film making." -- Chart Magazine Posted Jul 7, 2004	Baadasssss! (2004)	90%
2/5	"... a historical drama that emphasizes the drama over the history." -- Chart Magazine Posted Jul 7, 2004	King Arthur (2004)	31%
1/5	"Even the most loyal Jarmusch aficionado will find significant portions of this film to be an incredible bore." -- Chart Magazine Posted May 25, 2004	Coffee and Cigarettes (2004)	63%
1/5	"...an effects-driven travesty that purees some of literature�s classic horror stories into bland, action-driven pulp." -- Chart Magazine Posted May 18, 2004	Van Helsing (2004)	22%
1/5	"Comes off as a tired rehashing of the director's '90s-era DIY creations." -- Film Threat Posted Mar 17, 2004	Scumrock (2002)	60%
2/5	"Anyone who has seen Spike Jonze�s video for the Beastie Boys� 'Sabotage' has witnessed a far more effective parody of the �70s cop show." -- Chart Magazine Posted Mar 9, 2004	Starsky & Hutch (2004)	63%
3/5	"If this sounds like a typical Hollywood-fuelled 'opposites attract' story, rest assured there's a high degree of verisimilitude in the way these jaded lovebirds come together." -- Chart Magazine Posted Mar 5, 2004	The Republic of Love (2003)	44%
3/5	"[B]usiness is good for Cedric the Entertainer." -- Chart Magazine Posted Feb 6, 2004	Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2004)	69%
2/5	"Although the story is well structured, Ozon injects it with too much bile..." -- Chart Magazine Posted Feb 5, 2004	Water Drops on Burning Rocks (2000)	71%
2/5	"One suspects that David Hasselhoff acted as an uncredited consultant..." -- Chart Magazine Posted Feb 5, 2004	The Big Bounce (2004)	16%
4/5	"Monster is noteworthy primarily for Theron's performance, a brilliant career-shifting move for her and the strongest cinematic performance in 2003." -- Chart Magazine Posted Jan 16, 2004	Monster (2003)	82%
2/5	"Pieces Of April deserves a few points for style, as well as for Clarkson's effort, but nothing for its insubstantial use of story and character." -- Chart Magazine Posted Nov 21, 2003	Pieces of April (2003)	84%
1/5	"I lament the fact that new generations will likely learn about Seuss' story via this CGI-laden monstrosity..." -- Chart Magazine Posted Nov 21, 2003	Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat (2003)	12%
2/5	"*Watching The Human Stain, you'll likely only care about the money you've spent to watch overpaid actors work on auto-pilot." -- Chart Magazine* Posted Nov 3, 2003	The Human Stain (2003)	41%
4/5	"*Has Alien* aged well? If you appreciate the more aesthetic attributes of sci-fi and horror genres... you'll find new revelations with this print.*" -- Chart Magazine* Posted Oct 30, 2003	Alien (1979)	97%
4/5	"*The first half of Kill Bill* is far more exciting than any action flick that passed through this mediocre summer season.*" -- Chart Magazine* Posted Oct 21, 2003	Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003)	85%
1/5	"*One has to wonder, with all the TV shows like Jackass, MTV Road Rules* and the myriad pro skater DVD compilations out there, why someone would pay expensive theatre prices to see this film.*" -- Chart Magazine* Posted Aug 31, 2003	Grind (2003)	9%
1/5	"*Flashy stunts and special effects never looked so dull, while the story is about as involving as those of the Tomb Raider* video games.*" -- Chart Magazine* Posted Aug 8, 2003	Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003)	23%
2/5	"Eye-candy production values and stellar performances can't rescue a weak script." -- Chart Magazine Posted Aug 8, 2003	Le Divorce (2003)	38%
4/5	"Raising Victor Vargas is a coming-of-age tale told with sensitivity and humour, challenging the notion that films about inner-city folk need to have tragic characters or endings" -- Chart Magazine Posted Jul 24, 2003	Raising Victor Vargas (2003)	96%
2/5	"*When the scenes involving rocket launchers hit the screen, I had a revelation. Bad Boys II* didn't remind me of another film, but rather a video game � namely Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.*" -- Chart Magazine* Posted Jul 24, 2003	Bad Boys II (2003)	24%
4/5	"Lee's direction [is] the true marvel of this Marvel comic tale. He sets up multi-frame shots, emulating the look of a comic book, with a plethora of flashy screen wipes and dissolves. The edits are more spectacular than the CGI work." -- Chart Magazine Posted Jun 21, 2003	Hulk (2003)	61%
3/5	"Faster and more furious than the original, this film will have you asking, 'Vin who?'" -- Chart Magazine Posted Jun 6, 2003	2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)	36%
3/5	"Unless blatant product pitches make you want to choke on your popcorn, you'll likely find this film to be a couple of hours well spent." -- Chart Magazine Posted Jun 3, 2003	The Italian Job (2003)	73%
2/5	"Try as [Carrey] might to be the next Jimmy Stewart, he's still best playing Jimmy Carrey." -- Chart Magazine Posted May 26, 2003	Bruce Almighty (2003)	49%
4/5	"*Kitano is now showing his softer, more interpretive side. Dolls* is his most challenging and finest work to date.*" -- Film Threat* Posted May 21, 2003	Dolls (2004)	75%
2/5	"*Sandler seems to be mellowing with age - perhaps Punch-Drunk Love* gave him a taste of what could be done when he works with a decent film script and director.*" -- Chart Magazine* Posted Apr 13, 2003	Anger Management (2003)	43%
1/5	"The laughs unfortunately are few and far between, unless you buy into Rock�s sophomoric social critiques." -- Chart Magazine Posted Mar 30, 2003	Head of State (2003)	30%
1/5	"*Boasting a plot with more twists than a Texas tornado, Basic* certainly doesn�t live up to its title.*" -- Chart Magazine* Posted Mar 30, 2003	Basic (2003)	21%
4/5	"Time Out's omnipresent gray skies and blurry, snow-filled scenes compliment the gray areas and half-truths that drive its story." -- Chart Magazine Posted Mar 10, 2003	Time Out (2002)	95%
1/5	"Bartkowiak does deliver a load of action, but more of the steaming fecal variety." -- Chart Magazine Posted Mar 3, 2003	Cradle 2 the Grave (2003)	25%
1/5	"...Shelton doesn�t have the creative vision to present the story in a stylish noir fashion." -- Chart Magazine Posted Feb 21, 2003	Dark Blue (2003)	57%
1/5	"Even with the strong main performances, the dialogue is horribly contrived...." -- Chart Magazine Posted Feb 21, 2003	Gods and Generals (2003)	8%
5/5	"*Only insiders can really claim to 'know' what the Manchester scene was all about, but 24 Hour Party People* does a commendable job of giving the rest of us a good glimpse.*" -- Chart Magazine* Posted Feb 4, 2003	24 Hour Party People (2002)	86%
1/5	"Lyu could�ve made her debut feature a brilliant dark comedy. What the viewer gets instead is a mildly offensive film that bears the cheap humour of a B-grade Canadian sitcom." -- Chart Magazine Posted Feb 4, 2003	Rub & Tug (2002)	50%
2/5	"The film offers the standard Hollywood jolts, ensuring that audiences won�t get bored with (God forbid) a straightforward story." -- Chart Magazine Posted Feb 4, 2003	Red Dragon (2002)	68%
2/5	"Besson is getting diminishing returns this time around." -- Chart Magazine Posted Feb 4, 2003	The Transporter (2002)	53%
3/5	"This film's music is as important as its lead actors, and both rescue a romance story from its own predictable trappings." -- Chart Magazine Posted Feb 4, 2003	Brown Sugar (2002)	63%
3/5	"Biggie And Tupac may not be the smoking gun that will solve either of the murders, but it does paint a picture of some disturbing collusion between America�s seediest police department and the music industry�s most volatile record label." -- Chart Magazine Posted Feb 4, 2003	Biggie and Tupac (2002)	80%
2/5	"An inert little thriller that fails to establish its own personality." -- Chart Magazine Posted Feb 4, 2003	Abandon (2002)	17%
4/5	"Bowling For Columbine has America's favorite documentarian tackling the usual suspects, but his polemic has never sounded more poignant." -- Chart Magazine Posted Feb 4, 2003	Bowling for Columbine (2002)	96%
3/5	"Can Eminem act?... He certainly doesn�t over-act, fighting his battles with shady-eyed reserve and using his rhymes as a cathartic escape from his daily doldrums." -- Chart Magazine Posted Feb 4, 2003	8 Mile (2002)	75%
