3/4	87%	Crimson Tide (1995)	" It's too slick to be truly disturbing, but it's that slickness that keeps you on the edge of your chair." — San Francisco Examiner Posted Jan 1, 2000
	30%	Village of the Damned (1995)	" Needless and undeveloped subplots dissipate the clean suspense of the original, and the exponential increase in violence and gore cannot conceal this." — San Francisco Examiner Posted Jan 1, 2000

	23%	A Thousand Acres (1997)	" Ploddingly literal, A Thousand Acres is basically a star vehicle that relies on superior acting to redeem it. It does have superior acting, but that's not nearly enough." — Salon.com Posted Jan 1, 2000

	93%	Saving Private Ryan (1998)	" Using the overpowering techniques of modern film, Steven Spielberg has cut through the glory-tinged gauze that shrouds World War II to reveal its brutal reality, creating a phenomenology of violence unsurpassed in the history of cinema." — Salon.com Posted Jan 1, 2000

3/4	97%	A Little Princess (1995)	" A Little Princess is a delightful film. Bring your children, or just bring yourself." — San Francisco Examiner Posted Jan 1, 2000
	59%	Prefontaine (1997)	" Even through Prefontaine's obviousness, we feel its force." — Salon.com Posted Jan 1, 2000
