American Wedding (2003) |
|
"...hopefully there will be more to come; it would be a shame if this really is 'Bye bye, Miss American Pie.'" | |

Anger Management (2003) |
|
"[Nicholson and Sandler] put forth fine efforts in this entirely performance-driven film, but save for a few memorable scenes, the oil and vinegar simply don't mix." | |
Mac Verstandig | |

|
Anything Else (2003) |
|
"Allen creates one of his finer films, with a delicately intricate plot, phenomenal acting and delightfully cynical humor." | |

|
Bulletproof Monk (2003) |
|
"Bulletproof Monk has a snide confidence that its petty jokes of culture shock will actually elicit laughs while altogether failing to realize that the punch lines weren't that funny the first time, let alone this time." | |
Mac Verstandig | |

Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star (2003) |
|
"...the sort of B-actor-driven comedic train wreck that David Spade used to dryly mock while doing his 'Hollywood Minute' on Saturday Night Live" | |
Mac Verstandig | |
|

|
Duplex (2003) |
|
"...other than a few shining moments, 'Duplex' relies entirely upon juvenile sight gags to generate jokes that really aren't all that amusing." | |
Mac Verstandig | |

|
Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) |
|
"...the sort of vitriolic exercise in paranoia that would ordinarily land its creator in therapy." | |

|
Gods and Generals (2003) |
|
"A repulsive combination of dry textbook history and pandering melodrama." | |

Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) |
|
"Nearly every gut-wrenching turn is somehow derived from an ethnic slur, juvenile sight gag, or the glorification of an illegal substance and its side effects." | |

Head of State (2003) |

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003) |
|
"It is exceedingly difficult to classify How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days as a romantic comedy given that the film is about as romantic as a punch to the face -- literally." | |
Mac Verstandig | |

A- |
|
Intolerable Cruelty (2003) |
|
"...an uproariously quirky story about romance in the very unromantic field of matrimonial law." | |
Mac Verstandig | |

|
Matchstick Men (2003) |
|
"...has so much sheer style and class that it more closely resembles an old Rat Pack project than a modern-day popcorn dud." | |

|
Munich (2005) |
|
"Despite being nearly three hours long, the movie is among the finest to grace the silver screen in some time and should be able to work over any intelligent audience not bothered by a level of blood, gore and even nudity traditionally reserved for either" | |
Mac Verstandig | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
|
"Unrelentingly anti-Semitic, excessively grotesque and overly narrow in its scope" | |
Mac Verstandig | |
|
|
|
| |
A- |
|
Phone Booth (2003) |
|
"A riveting tale of morality in a city noted for its sinful characters, "Phone Booth" is that rare edge-of-your-seat movie that is as cerebral as it is thrilling." | |

Radio (2003) |
|
"...a stellar work of poignant cinema." | |
Mac Verstandig | |
|
|
|
| |
A- |
|
The Real Cancun (2003) |
|
"More closely resembling a "Girls Gone Wild" video than a work of traditional cinema, "The Real Cancun" delivers a unique brand of glossy sex appeal, thanks to a fairly developed array of variously sordid characters." | |
Mac Verstandig | |

Runaway Jury (2003) |
|
"...Far-fetched, poorly crafted, but very entertaining." | |

A- |
|
School of Rock (2003) |
|
"Jack Black... deftly guides the family film away from the genre's usual mawkishness and into a sort of Bad-Company-meets-Peter-Pan Rock 'n' Roll Never Never Land." | |
