The 13th Warrior (1999) |
"The 13th Warrior is one big, gigantic, colossal, monumental bore." |
|
Splat |
15 Minutes (2001) |
"So grossly amateurish is this embarrassment that all the time 15 Minutes can hope to muster on the clock of our cultural fascination is about five seconds." |
Jeffrey Huston |
Tomato |
Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) |
"While the Ogre will pull in more money this summer, I'm betting Atlantis is the one that endures." |
Jeffrey Huston |
Tomato |
Baby Boy (2001) |
"While primarily an examination on the young African-American male, Singleton's social commentary is universal to all men." |
Jeffrey Huston |
Splat |
The Bachelor (1999) |
"The Bachelor is the worst romantic comedy I have ever seen. Ever." |
Jeffrey Huston |
Splat |
A Beautiful Mind (2001) |

Jeffrey Huston |
Tomato |
Bedazzled (2000) |

Jeffrey Huston |
Splat |
Behind Enemy Lines (2001) |
"Cliches, cliches, cliches -- they keep coming as fast (if not faster) than the assaulting action." |
Jeffrey Huston |
Tomato |
Blow (2001) |
"In spite of familiarity, Blow ends up making an impression that lasts." |
Jeffrey Huston |

Jeffrey Huston |

Jeffrey Huston |
Tomato |
The Contender (2000) |
"By being composed with such genuine intensity, The
Contender overcomes its excesses to at least rise to a level of being a very
satisfying entertainment." |
Jeffrey Huston |
Splat |
Crazy/Beautiful (2001) |
"Whatever young Carlos and Nicole share doesn't feel like something worth taking a risk for. For a date movie, uh, that's a problem." |
Jeffrey Huston |
Splat |
The Crew (2000) |
"The Crew may think it's hitting a Soprano high note but in
reality it's just sleeping with the fishes." |

Jeffrey Huston |
Splat |
Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001) |
"If there's bad fallout to the success of 1995's Babe, you're lookin' at it." |
Jeffrey Huston |
Tomato |
The Emperor's New Groove (2000) |
"A very welcome, if simple, departure from the typical Disney mold that's highly entertaining to boot." |
Jeffrey Huston |
Tomato |
Erin Brockovich (2000) |
"Erin Brockovich has an earthy, bare bones authenticity to it, thanks in large part to Soderbergh’s simple shooting and editing style that is pseudo-documentarian." |
Jeffrey Huston |
Splat |
Evolution (2001) |
"Despite some legitimate signs of life, Evolution isn't fit enough to survive." |
Jeffrey Huston |
Splat |
The Family Man (2000) |
"A film brimming with good intentions
that, unfortunately, lacks conviction." |
Jeffrey Huston |
Tomato |
The Fast and the Furious (2001) |
"Dang if this ain't as good as going-through-the-motions gets." |
Jeffrey Huston |

complete control." |

Jeffrey Huston |
Tomato |
Hearts in Atlantis (2001) |
"While often told with a contrived hand, the film's genuine heart and stunning artistry soften the blows of rudimentary storytelling, even healing them." |
Jeffrey Huston |
Splat |
High Fidelity (2000) |
"Other than those rare giggles or guffaws, High Fidelity is strictly analogue." |
Jeffrey Huston |

Jeffrey Huston |
Splat |
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) |

Jeffrey Huston |
Splat |
Kingdom Come (2001) |
"The broad execution of the material keeps it from being all good, but a genuine heart and occasional successes keep it from being all bad." |
Jeffrey Huston |
Splat |
A Knight's Tale (2001) |
"A Knight's Tale is as crass as studio filmmaking gets." |
Jeffrey Huston |

Jeffrey Huston |
Splat |
Me, Myself & Irene (2000) |

Jeffrey Huston |
Tomato |
