Brandon Judell |
Splat |
3 Ninjas - High Noon at Mega Mountain (1998) |
"Abrasively loud, gratingly acted, appallingly directed and without a moral core, this "3 Ninjas" also boasts a screenplay with the most "Unhhhs" of the decade, that exquisite sound you make when trying to anihilate another human with your foot or a karate" |
Brandon Judell |
Tomato |
Angela's Ashes (1999) |
"Well acted and convincingly created, this is a somber look at what it's really like to be a have not." |
Rose Preston |

"one of the most calculating films of all of this year’s blockbusters." |
Brandon Judell |
Splat |
The Bachelor (1999) |
"The script is so baldly predictable and bereft of comic dialogue that it makes the situation comedy more annoying than funny." |
Carl Arrington |
Tomato |
Being John Malkovich (1999) |
"Being John Malkovich is a crazy and wonderful new comedy." |
Carl Arrington |

|
Tomato |
Body Art (2001) |
"A documentary with scintillating content about how societies around the world use their bodies as an art form. One African tribe even elongates their skulls, which looks chic, but I'm not sure what it does for their brains." |
Brandon Judell |
Tomato |
Bowfinger (1999) |
"Murphy's slapstick performance as both klutz and crazy action hero make for his best work since The Nutty Professor." |

Carl Arrington |
Tomato |
Bringing Out the Dead (1999) |

Carl Arrington |
Tomato |
The Butcher Boy (1997) |
"The film almost immediately loses the major asset of the novel: its language. Possibly a quarter of the movie is incomprehensible to the American ear." |
Brandon Judell |
Tomato 10/10 |
Central Station (1998) |
"Watching this delectably humane road movie incites the same emotions as discovering the works of Truffaut" |
Brandon Judell |
Splat |
The Cider House Rules (1999) |
"A well-performed but often underwhelming melodrama." |
|
Tomato |
City of Lost Souls (1982) |

Brandon Judell |
Tomato |
Deep Impact (1998) |
"The joy of any catastrophe flick is watching the world that annoys you so much get its due." |
Brandon Judell |
Tomato |
Dick (1999) |
"What makes Dick an almost perfect teenage comedy is that all of the adults and authority figures are shown as being dufus, skanky, shifty, slothful, nasty or stupid." |
|
Splat |
Dr. Dolittle (1998) |
"Why are creatures commenting here on copulation and what are anal thermometers doing being swallowed up by canines’ rears in a kids’ picture?" |
Brandon Judell |
Tomato |
Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) |
"Drop Dead Gorgeous is drop-decorum funny!" |
Carl Arrington |
Tomato |

Every Little Step (2009) |
" A fast-paced documentary that captures the angst, joys, and disappointments of the young hopefuls as they try out for a show that mirrors their pursuits." |
Brandon Judell |
Tomato |
Fantasia 2000 (1999) |
"Its eight sequences certainly have enough magic to appeal to children of all ages and look breathtaking on the IMAX screens it will grace." |

Fight Club (1999) |
"Fight Club is a shocking sight to behold!" |
Carl Arrington |

Brandon Judell |
Splat |
Girl, Interrupted (1999) |
"Despite solid performances from all involved, the movie fails to stir." |

Hav Plenty (1997) |
"Ah, love! Ah, black stereotypes! Why is it so hard to portray the black middle-class and the rich with any dignity?" |
Brandon Judell |
Tomato |
The Insider (1999) |
"Taut and brilliantly crafted." |
Carl Arrington |
Splat |
Inspector Gadget (1999) |
"The story has the frantic pacing of an action thriller that tears through situations and laughlines with a cinematic buzzsaw." |
Carl Arrington |
Tomato |
Jakob the Liar (1999) |
"Jakob has a marvelous ensemble cast that acts with grace, mirth and the dignity the subject demands." |
Carl Arrington |
Splat |
Knocked Up (2007) |
"There's no doubt director/writer Apatow is supplying a national service by allowing the inept to feel adequate about themselves." |
Brandon Judell |
Splat |
Lake Placid (1999) |
"Has some camp and comedic aspirations, but fails at all of them." |
Carl Arrington |
Tomato |
Magnolia (1999) |
"Separated into three different 'movements' by weather forecasts, Magnolia's actually a symphony of dysfunction, both exhilarating and devastating." |
Jason Kaufman |

Mamma Roma (1962) |
"But in a sense, Pasolini's was the perfect death for someone who lived on the edge, whose art was raw as it could be." |
Brandon Judell |

Notting Hill (1999) |

"Un-involving." |
Jason Kaufman |
Splat |
Random Hearts (1999) |
"The film's chief problem is that the unwinding of the romance between Kay and Dutch is so gradual -- and often furtive." |
Carl Arrington |
Splat |
Runaway Bride (1999) |
"Runaway Bride is long on amiability, but short on comedy and way short on intriguing romance!" |
Carl Arrington |
Tomato |
Shallow Grave (1987) |
"Recall those early British comedies that all seemed to star Rita Tushingham. Well, attach the 1st half of one of those to the 2nd half of a Hitchcock chiller, and you have an enjoyable film that'll have you digging your fingernails deeply into your nachos" |
Brandon Judell |
Tomato |
The Sixth Sense (1999) |
