Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
4/5	95%	The Best of Youth (La meglio gioventù) (2003)	" This six-hour Italian drama spans nearly 40 years in the life of one family, and in doing so, channels half a century in the life of a nation." — eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 8, 2003
2.5/5	68%	Evil (Ondskan) (2006)	" Håfström leaves no loose end untied, and no easy sentiment untapped, but there's a didacticism to Evil that undercuts its sturdy narrative construction." — eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 1, 2003
1.5/5	85%	Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran (Monsieur Ibrahim) (2003)	" An extravaganza of watch-checking." — eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 1, 2003
3.5/5	77%	The Mother (2004)	" As the reckless, self-actualizing matriarch of the title, Anne Reid gives a courageous performance, and Daniel Craig is equally adept as a handyman who re-awakens her dormant sexuality." — eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 1, 2003
3.5/5	82%	Matchstick Men (2003)	" Unrestrained and shamelessly adorable, [Cage] invests his role as a twitchy, obsessive-compulsive con man with all the wildly gesticulating energy he can muster." — eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 1, 2003
3.5/5	93%	Knafayim Shvurot (Broken Wings) (2002)	" A movie of small emotional gestures that add up to something almost overwhelming." — eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 1, 2003

2/4	61%	Valentin (2004)	" Pleasantly underwhelming." — eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 1, 2003

2/5	8%	Grind (2003)	" Alas, the great teen-skateboarding comedy has still yet to be made." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 19, 2003
2/5	48%	S.W.A.T. (2003)	" A sleek but vacant exercise in cop movie clichés." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 19, 2003
2/5	48%	And Now... Ladies and Gentlemen (2003)	" Frustrating because its forays into narrative gamesmanship promise so much more than they deliver, and because the pictorial eloquence of the cinematography cleverly distracts from the loony-bin dialogue." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 19, 2003
2/5	43%	Garage Days (2003)	" Proyas is relentless in his attempts to infuse the material with visual zip, and in doing so, he only exacerbates its flimsiness." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 5, 2003
2.5/5	45%	Lucia, Lucia (La Hija del caníbal) (2003)	" The film is enjoyable in the manner of a high-gloss soap opera, but its forays into socio-political commentary are as laboured as its unnecessarily labyrinthine construction." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 5, 2003
1.5/5	23%	Bad Boys II (2003)	" Over-loud, overlong and stunning in its crassness and laziness." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 5, 2003

—	——	Waterboys (2001)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Jul 10, 2003
2/3	73%	The Matrix Reloaded (2003)	" The technical talent is there: the problem is the script, which never once pauses to consider its own essential silliness." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jul 8, 2003

—	40%	The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Jul 8, 2003
—	——	The Book of Eve (Histoire d'Ève) ()	— eye WEEKLY Posted Jul 8, 2003
3.5/5	79%	Owning Mahowny (2003)	" A clammy, compulsively watchable almost-comedy." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jul 8, 2003
3/5	86%	Lawless Heart (2002)	" The skill with which these temporalities are connected is considerable." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jul 8, 2003
2/5	35%	Levity (2003)	" Like pretty much everything else in Levity, [Thornton's] an earnest, faultlessly compassionate bore." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jul 8, 2003
2.5/5	48%	The Safety of Objects (2001)	" Simply put, there's too much going on, and too many fragile, damaged characters to fret appropriately over." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jul 8, 2003
—	30%	Hollywood Homicide (2003)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Jul 8, 2003
2.5/5	42%	People I Know (2003)	" At one point, a character kids Eli about being 'moth-eaten,' but the term would be better applied to the film's crippling third act." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jul 8, 2003

—	——	Passage to Ottawa ()	— eye WEEKLY Posted Jul 4, 2003
3.5/5	50%	The Wild Dogs (2002)	" An uncommonly sensitive drama about the poverty and hardship suffered by [Bucharest's] Gypsy residents." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jun 6, 2003
3/5	100%	Peck on the Cheek ()	" This lavish Indian comedy-drama is unsure of what it wants to be, but still manages to be charming and consistently entertaining." — eye WEEKLY Posted Apr 28, 2003
—	——	Treed Murray (Get Down) (2001)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Apr 26, 2003
—	31%	Head of State (2003)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Apr 20, 2003
1/5	17%	House of 1000 Corpses (2003)	" Zombie's attempted post-modernism has neither the intelligence nor the conviction to work: he may fancy himself a genuine devil, but he comes off here as a poseur of a cheap and low order." — eye WEEKLY Posted Apr 20, 2003
2/5	21%	Basic (2003)	" The meat of the picture -- the contradictory flashback sequences -- are staged so haphazardly that the audience has no incentive to pay close attention." — eye WEEKLY Posted Apr 20, 2003
2.5/5	71%	Phone Booth (2003)	" It's amazing how Phone Booth hits its dramatic peak at the end of the first act and then descends into standard thrillerisms." — eye WEEKLY Posted Apr 20, 2003
2/5	43%	Anger Management (2003)	" Pinwheels all over the place, moving without warning from drippy pathos to slapstick lunacy to insipid narrative contrivances." — eye WEEKLY Posted Apr 20, 2003
—	——	I Am Dina (2002)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Mar 26, 2003
3/5	40%	Gasoline (2002)	" A notable debut for director Monica Stambrini." — eye WEEKLY Posted Mar 26, 2003
3.5/5	82%	Amandla! A Revolution in Four Part Harmony (2003)	" This is powerful stuff, presented unblinkingly and yet with rousing ardour." — eye WEEKLY Posted Mar 25, 2003
—	——	Bay of Love and Sorrows (2006)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Mar 25, 2003
4/5	79%	Bubba Ho-Tep (2003)	" Campbell, who narrates the film in a sad, recriminatory mumble, somehow manages to make ol' swivel hips affecting, frayed pompadour and all." — eye WEEKLY Posted Mar 25, 2003
2.5/5	34%	Poolhall Junkies (2002)	" It's disreputable, occasionally ludicrous and merely kinda fun." — eye WEEKLY Posted Mar 25, 2003
2.5/5	87%	The Quiet American (2003)	" Adapts a Graham Greene novel with something approaching economy but far removed from finesse." — eye WEEKLY Posted Mar 25, 2003
2/5	23%	Biker Boyz (2003)	" Isn't really good enough to hold your attention but at least doesn't abuse it too badly in the fleeting moments that it does." — eye WEEKLY Posted Mar 25, 2003
—	58%	Dark Blue (2003)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Mar 25, 2003
4/5	90%	Cidade de Deus (City of God) (2003)	" It's a conspicuously stylish attention-getter that heralds the discovery of a major directorial talent." — eye WEEKLY Posted Mar 25, 2003
3.5/5	——	deadend.com ()	" Sex, drugs, violence, rock and roll -- it's all here, but the eerily natural performance and frankly explicit situations help deadend.com skirt cliché and stand as one of the year's most provocative Canadian features." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jan 30, 2003
3/5	96%	Catch Me If You Can (2002)	" Most of the film is an extended chase, with Abagnale always one clever step ahead, and it's tense, good fun, if a tad underdeveloped." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jan 6, 2003
2/5	38%	Star Trek - Nemesis (2002)	" While there's nothing to fault in the performances or even the storyline, it's forgettable the moment the credits roll." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jan 6, 2003
2/5	79%	Antwone Fisher (2002)	" This is the sort of noble, well-produced tearjerker that's bound to work for some people, but one that lacks any real force, conviction or even a single surprise." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jan 6, 2003
4.5/5	85%	About Schmidt (2002)	" Nicholson, emphatically off autopilot and acting entirely without vanity, perfectly captures Schmidt's fear, loneliness and fervent hope that his life is worth more than he's come to assume." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jan 6, 2003
—	——	Club Le Monde ()	— eye WEEKLY Posted Dec 11, 2002
2.5/5	50%	The Château (2002)	" There are enough of the usual only-in-the-movies misunderstandings between Graham and Allen to delay any sort of resolution, but director Jesse Peretz neglects to fill the gaps with any memorably diverting action." — eye WEEKLY Posted Dec 2, 2002
3/5	77%	Quitting (2002)	" The asylum material is gripping, as are the scenes of Jia with his family." — eye WEEKLY Posted Dec 2, 2002
1/5	12%	Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002)	" It ain't funny, it ain't good, and it ain't a step in the right direction for co-writer and star Sandler." — eye WEEKLY Posted Dec 2, 2002
2/5	38%	They (2002)	" A horror movie with seriously dumb characters, which somewhat dilutes the pleasure of watching them stalked by creepy-crawly bug things that live only in the darkness." — eye WEEKLY Posted Dec 2, 2002
—	25%	Friday After Next (2002)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Dec 2, 2002
2/5	88%	Springtime in a Small Town (Xiao cheng zhi chun) (2002)	" This is tastefully boring festival fare, strictly for those who like their movies slow and their subtitles prominent." — eye WEEKLY Posted Nov 19, 2002
1.5/5	43%	The Rules of Attraction (2002)	" A callow adaptation of a callow novel." — eye WEEKLY Posted Nov 19, 2002
2.5/5	66%	Brown Sugar (2002)	" True to its title, this hip-hop When Harry Met Sally is plenty sweet, but is that what we really want from a film set in the world of rap music?" — eye WEEKLY Posted Nov 19, 2002
4/5	83%	All or Nothing (2002)	" This is an elegantly balanced movie -- every member of the ensemble has something fascinating to do -- that doesn't reveal even a hint of artifice." — eye WEEKLY Posted Nov 19, 2002
1/5	2%	Half Past Dead (2002)	" Has not so much been written as assembled, Frankenstein-like, out of other, marginally better shoot-em-ups." — eye WEEKLY Posted Nov 19, 2002
3.5/5	48%	Femme Fatale (2002)	" A movie as glossily silly -- and guiltily pleasurable -- as a waiting-room fashion magazine." — eye WEEKLY Posted Nov 19, 2002
—	——	On Their Knees ()	— eye WEEKLY Posted Nov 16, 2002
5/5	100%	The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Nov 14, 2002

2.5/5	63%	Moonlight Mile (2002)	" Silberling can't resist stretching this initially affecting story past its breaking point, resulting in a pat, predictable drama with the emotional depth of a TV movie." — eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 2, 2002
2.5/5	88%	Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002)	" An amazing true story gets a pedestrian treatment." — eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 2, 2002

3.5/5	87%	Ten (2003)	" One of the most casually progressive of the recent Iranian films, presenting its predominantly female cast as candid, freethinking and completely sympathetic." — eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 2, 2002
3/5	85%	Nowhere in Africa (Nirgendwo in Afrika) (2001)	" Terrific performances all around, especially from young Kurka, who avoids the usual traps of child acting to contribute a characterization of unusual depth." — eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 2, 2002
2.5/5	96%	Bowling for Columbine (2002)	" While certain sequences hit home, the doc is sloppy and unfocused, guilty of the tabloid mentality Moore takes such pleasure in lampooning." — eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 2, 2002
1/5	3%	fear dot com (FeardotCom) (2002)	" Build some robots, haul 'em to the theatre with you for the late show, and put on your own Mystery Science Theatre 3000 tribute to what is almost certainly going to go down as the worst -- and only -- killer website movie of this or any other year." — eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 2, 2002
4.5/5	98%	The Man Without a Past (2002)	" A more sublime viewing experience you could scarcely hope for." — eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 2, 2002
3/5	82%	Horns and Halos (2002)	" It's a fine, focused piece of work that reopens an interesting controversy and never succumbs to sensationalism." — eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 2, 2002
3/5	85%	Bend It Like Beckham (2003)	" As crowd-pleasers go, this is a good one, and for soccer fans, it's a must." — eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 2, 2002
3/5	92%	Mostly Martha (Bella Martha) (2001)	" A sort of light celluloid snack, easy to swallow but not really nourishing." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 27, 2002
1/5	5%	Serving Sara (2002)	" A movie without a redeeming feature: a black hole where laughter goes to die." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 26, 2002
4.5/5	86%	24 Hour Party People (2002)	" A formally dazzling, breathlessly profane love letter to punk attitude that recalls every rockumentary from A Hard Day's Night to This is Spinal Tap while remaining fiercely, defiantly original." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 26, 2002
3.5/5	81%	The Good Girl (2002)	" Funny in the most squirm-inducing of ways." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 26, 2002

3.5/5	76%	My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)	" A simple but likeable film that points out its characters' foibles while retaining an affection for their eccentricities." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 20, 2002
4.5/5	74%	Signs (2002)	" This is the creepiest Hollywood thriller in a very long while and almost definitely this year's horror flick par excellence." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 20, 2002
4/5	80%	Sunshine State (2002)	" A fiercely intelligent South Florida mosaic." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 20, 2002
2/4	53%	Blood Work (2002)	" The key to a good thriller is a sense of urgency, something that is sorely lacking on both sides of the camera in Blood Work, a characteristically muted late-period offering from Clint Eastwood." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 20, 2002
3.5/5	74%	Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams (2002)	" It is a colourful, high-flying package that melds the gadget-happy sensibilities of its Mission: Impossible-spoofing predecessor with a parade of Hollywood in-jokes sure to amuse parents without confusing kids." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 20, 2002
1/5	39%	Martin Lawrence Live - Runteldat (2002)	" Comes off as a long, laborious whine, the bellyaching of a paranoid and unlikable man." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 20, 2002
—	0%	Kevin & Perry Go Large (2000)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 3, 2002
1.5/5	31%	Never Again (2002)	" Tambor and Clayburgh are actually both very likeable in their roles, but the script is just miserable." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 3, 2002

—	74%	Under the Sun (Under solen) (2000)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 3, 2002
1.5/5	30%	The Country Bears (2002)	" It's fitting that a movie as artificial and soulless as The Country Bears owes its genesis to an animatronic display at Disneyland." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 3, 2002
—	——	Revelation (2003)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 3, 2002
2.5/5	82%	Road to Perdition (2002)	" There's no spontaneity in David Self's spare, purely functional screenplay, which telegraphs even the biggest surprises so as to dull any edge inherent in the brutal payoffs." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jul 19, 2002
3/5	52%	The Crocodile Hunter - Collision Course (2002)	" It's part Discovery Channel, part evening at the Aussie improv, and it proves surprisingly watchable even at 90 minutes." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jul 19, 2002
3.5/5	41%	Big Bad Love (2001)	" It retains enough moments of twangy gallows humour, mostly courtesy of Paul Le Mat as Leon's corpulent drinking buddy, to keep the film from becoming a bludgeoning experience." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jul 11, 2002
—	——	Lunch With Charles ()	— eye WEEKLY Posted Jul 3, 2002
4/5	92%	Nine Queens (Nueve reinas) (2002)	" There's a lot of honour-among- thieves squabbling between Juan and Marcos, both of whom have excellent motivation to distrust the other, but the performances complement each other beautifully." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jun 18, 2002
1/5	33%	Windtalkers (2002)	" It's a film so terrifically inept, on so many levels of direction, performance and intent, that it demands and receives its audience's full, stunned attention." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jun 18, 2002
—	78%	Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter (2001)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Jun 13, 2002
1/5	10%	Bad Company (2002)	" After nearly two hours, it all mercifully ends, leaving the viewer to ponder all the ways that $80 million dollars might have been better spent." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jun 10, 2002
3.5/5	52%	The Mystic Masseur (2001)	" Although some of its plotting feels forced ... The Mystic Masseur coasts along nicely on Merchant's sharply honed craftsmanship, which grants the stunning Trinidad locations an extra degree of lushness." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jun 10, 2002
—	79%	Karmen Geï (Karmen Gei) (2001)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Jun 1, 2002
—	58%	The Importance of Being Earnest (2002)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Jun 1, 2002
2.5/5	6%	The New Guy (2002)	" It contains moments that suggest a genuinely original comic sensibility, but too often the film retreats into standard gross-out territory." — eye WEEKLY Posted May 26, 2002

1/5	30%	Red Green - Duct Tape Forever (2002)	" Smith forgot to include any of the subtle, language-based comedy that marked his career as an author and stand-up comedian, so that all we're left with are obvious sight gags and laborious moments of slapstick carnage." — eye WEEKLY Posted Apr 15, 2002
1.5/5	48%	Big Trouble (2002)	" Laboured, wheezy and almost completely unfunny." — eye WEEKLY Posted Apr 14, 2002
2/5	31%	High Crimes (2002)	" It becomes evident that the plot is just a machine to jerk the audience around, and a poorly oiled machine at that -- it clanks when it should click." — eye WEEKLY Posted Apr 14, 2002
2.5/5	84%	The Rookie (2002)	" It's a true family film with a good message, an endearing cast and nothing even a bit objectionable." — eye WEEKLY Posted Mar 31, 2002

4/5	49%	Harrison's Flowers (2002)	" This is a very good film, and it heralds an emerging directorial talent." — eye WEEKLY Posted Mar 18, 2002
—	100%	Un crabe dans la tête (Soft Shell Man) (2001)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Feb 20, 2002
1/5	23%	John Q (2002)	" A profoundly bad movie, managing to incorporate every cliché in the hostage-drama genre into its skimpy narrative." — eye WEEKLY Posted Feb 16, 2002
1.5/5	45%	Peter Pan in Return to Never Land (2002)	" The kids in the audience at the preview screening seemed bored, cheering the pratfalls but little else; their parents, wise folks that they are, read books." — eye WEEKLY Posted Feb 16, 2002
—	——	Johnny Greyeyes (2002)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Feb 7, 2002
3/5	82%	Secret Ballot (2002)	" Payami is to be applauded for taking biting potshots at such volatile issues as Iran's outmoded electoral process and women's status as second-class citizens." — eye WEEKLY Posted Feb 4, 2002
4.5/5	85%	Monster's Ball (2001)	" Forster successfully navigates small-town American Gothic terrain, brilliantly detailing not only the association between grief and self-destruction, but also grief's capacity to engineer profound redemption." — eye WEEKLY Posted Feb 4, 2002
—	87%	Hybrid (2001)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Jan 29, 2002
2.5/5	53%	The Mothman Prophecies (2002)	" Basically an extended episode of The X-Files with Richard Gere playing both the Mulder and Scully roles." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jan 26, 2002

—	75%	Jimmy Neutron - Boy Genius (2001)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Jan 6, 2002
2/5	19%	Joe Somebody (2001)	" A movie unsure of what it wants to be: a drama about a man wrestling his personal demons or a light-entertainment vehicle for its star, Tim Allen." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jan 6, 2002
2/5	28%	Not Another Teen Movie (2001)	" Almost immediately disposable, fading from memory before it even ends." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jan 6, 2002
4/5	67%	Ali (2001)	" Like the fighter himself, Ali dazzles with its technique -- this is a big, impressively mounted movie, packed with meticulous, you-are-there details." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jan 6, 2002
3/5	27%	How High (2001)	" For better or for worse, How High knows what its audience wants and serves it to them, straight up, without any sort of moral or ethical chaser." — eye WEEKLY Posted Jan 6, 2002

5/5	98%	The Night of the Hunter (1955)	" In the pantheon of great screen villains, none is quite so despicable as Harry Powell, the heavy-lidded serial-killer-turned-preacher played by Robert Mitchum in Charles Laughton's classic thriller." — eye WEEKLY Posted Dec 2, 2001
—	14%	Black Knight (2001)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Nov 24, 2001
2/5	8%	Out Cold (2001)	" What really drags this sloppy but functional movie down are the cringe-inducing moments of homophobia masquerading as political correctness." — eye WEEKLY Posted Nov 24, 2001
5/5	81%	The Man Who Wasn't There (2001)	" The film contains sprinklings of the Coens' trademark weirdness, but it's also meticulously controlled, like an elaborate puppet show for adults." — eye WEEKLY Posted Nov 11, 2001

—	75%	Me You Them (2001)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 30, 2001
3/5	81%	Mulholland Drive (2001)	" For better or worse, Lynch is preaching to the converted: hardcore fans will hail it as a masterpiece, and others need not apply." — eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 29, 2001
4/5	70%	Liam (2001)	" An emotional investment well worth making -- the vision Frears creates is hard, but, even at its bleakest, recognizably human." — eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 29, 2001
—	65%	Big Eden (2001)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 12, 2001
4/5	54%	Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)	" Silly, profane and, on its own explicitly stated terms, very nearly perfect." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 27, 2001
—	14%	American Outlaws (2001)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 27, 2001
4/5	70%	Smell of Camphor, Fragrance of Jasmine (2001)	" By turns funny, moving and surreal, the film is difficult to classify -- with its personal content and screwball comedy, it just might be Iran's answer to Woody Allen." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 27, 2001
—	89%	Himalaya (L'Enfance d'un Chef) (Caravan) (1999)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 14, 2001
4/5	55%	Osmosis Jones (2001)	" Folks who go to it expecting the traditional Farrelly flood of bodily fluids won't be disappointed, but it's likely they'll laugh harder at the witty dialogue and references to other films." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 14, 2001
—	86%	The Closet (Le Placard) (2001)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 2, 2001
—	——	Waiting List (1999)	— eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 2, 2001

3/5	63%	Crazy/ Beautiful (2001)	" It's a pleasant warm-weather diversion for the mall crowd." — eye WEEKLY Posted Aug 2, 2001
