2.5/4
 
"The Skeleton Key opens a very different door into its tale of black magic in a Louisiana plantation home."
Posted Aug 12, 2005
 
The Skeleton Key (2005)39%
/
1.5/4
 
"Schneider, who co-wrote the script, has succeeded in making a film that's nearly review-proof: Most of the dialogue -- packed with names for fictitious sex acts and the gigolos who perfect them -- is unrepeatable in a newspaper."
Posted Aug 12, 2005
 
Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005)11%
/
2/4
 
"More a collage than a movie."
Posted Sep 10, 2004
 
Code 46 (2004)52%

2.5/4
 
"The movie can feel slow and tedious, but the supper it makes us work for is nourishing."
Posted Jun 25, 2004
 
Crimson Gold (2004)87%
/
3/4
 
"Endearing little film."
Posted Jun 4, 2004
 
Two Men Went to War (2004)63%
/
1.5/4
 
"Fails to engage us in the lives of its characters because it never really introduces them."
Posted Apr 9, 2004
 
Japanese Story (2004)67%
/
3/4
 
"The journey's the thing, and nearly every kilometer of it holds adventure, charm and laughter."
Posted Dec 19, 2003
 
In July (2000)89%
/
2.5/4
 
"Bubba Ho-Tep succeeds as goofy-yet- tender wish fulfillment, offering an Elvis who tries to redeem his self-indulgent persona and become a hero. It fails as the sort of Campbell vehicle that wears out VCRs and haunts midnight-movie houses."
Posted Nov 21, 2003
 
Bubba Ho-Tep (2003)78%
/
3/4
 
"Exhibits a devotion to its subject that just might drive you to his books and make you wish for tea with the man who wrote them."
Posted Oct 24, 2003
 
Derrida (2002)82%
/
3/4
 
"After sampling the crostini and extended-family love baked by the Brothers Pyzola, you might make the Biscotti Co. a second home."
Posted Sep 20, 2003
 
A Wedding for Bella (2001)55%
/
2.5/4
 
"Gorlin lacks a coherent recipe for his savory ingredients."
Posted Sep 12, 2003
 
The Holy Land (2003)53%
/
4/4
 
"Few movies create such perfect pitch among character, plot and setting."
Posted Aug 15, 2003
 
Dirty Pretty Things (2003)94%
/
3/4
 
"Never shies from indulging us and our desire for a gentle and generous world that doesn't slip into easy answers."
Posted Jul 25, 2003
 
I Capture the Castle (2003)80%
/
3/4
 
"Slow and satisfying."
Posted Jun 27, 2003
 
Levity (2003)35%
/
2/4
 
"Collapses into a public service announcement on gambling."
Posted Jun 13, 2003
 
Owning Mahowny (2003)78%
/
2.5/4
 
"The movie, with room to gallop through nearly two hours and an R rating, often just kicks around in the stable."
Posted Jun 6, 2003
 
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (2003)70%
/
3/4
 
"The men, filled with brutality and neglect, make for rather obvious targets, yet we come to care about the women in their lives beyond any agenda Chaos might have."
Posted May 23, 2003
 
Chaos (2003)88%
/
3/4
 
"XX/XY expresses and explores this universal yearning without becoming stuck in it. In this and many other respects, few movies are so mature and satisfying."
Posted May 16, 2003
 
XX/XY (2003)44%
/
 
"The film has the glorious sweep of an epic."
Posted May 9, 2003
 
Nowhere in Africa (2003)86%
/
2.5/4
 
"Intellectually, Shape is a tour de force that can't be dismissed merely for the coldness it makes us feel. Artistically, it should have been called 'Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here.'"
Posted May 9, 2003
 
The Shape of Things (2003)65%
/
3/4
 
"Guest's previous films offer essential windows into the absurd and the lovable and, in its own way, so does his latest."
Posted Apr 16, 2003
 
A Mighty Wind (2003)88%
/
3.5/4
 
"Jordan's approach assumes a certain intelligence, and attentiveness, in his audience, but his joyride through the French Riviera always keeps us belted in."
Posted Apr 11, 2003
 
The Good Thief (2003)78%
/
2.5/4
 
"Never reaches the bar it sets for itself."
Posted Apr 4, 2003
 
Laurel Canyon (2003)67%
/
4/4
 
"A dark, brilliant journey into memory and schizophrenia whose peeled-back layers reveal an unexpected heroism."
Posted Mar 28, 2003
 
Spider (2003)85%
/
 
"John Travolta is having fun -- a lot of it -- and that may be all the reason you need to wedge Basic into your post-Oscars film schedule."
Posted Mar 28, 2003
 
Basic (2003)21%
/
2.5/4
 
"In boldly departing from the safety of a strong, unifying plot, Troche makes virtual objects of her characters by showing us plenty that intrigues and not enough that enlightens."
Posted Mar 14, 2003
 
The Safety of Objects (2003)49%
/
3/4
 
"An intense, if terse, character study that does not let us settle into comfortable delineations of good and evil."
Posted Mar 14, 2003
 
The Hunted (2003)32%
