Rating	Title \| Year	Quote	Author
53%	Romance and Cigarettes (2007)	"Was it mass hysteria? Were they all hypnotized? Did they lose some dreadful bet?"	Stephen Whitty
53%	Josie and the Pussycats (2001)	"It is funny ... with a sharp script by directors Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan that's also sneakily subversive."	Stephen Whitty
22%	Pokemon 3: The Movie (2001)	"Fairly easy to take."	Stephen Whitty
100%	A Hard Day's Night (1964)	"In its own fab way, A Hard Day's Night was a pivotal point in British filmmaking."	Stephen Whitty
53%	Save the Last Dance (2001)	"Sweet teens and near-teens who don't know any better will probably flock to it. Smart parents who know better, however, will smartly stay away."	Stephen Whitty
75%	Quills (2000)	"So bold, ambitious and forceful that it practically has a right to be a good movie. It's not, but it may be the year's most memorable bad one."	Bob Campbell
11%	Highlander - Endgame (2000)	"It ranks somewhere alongside -- well, sitting through Star Trek Generations again."	Stephen Whitty
22%	Lucky Numbers (2000)	"A black comedy really works only if everybody is equally heartless... But Travolta seems determined to play a hero, and the movie gets knocked off balance."	Stephen Whitty
83%	The Hurricane (1999)	"Holding it all together is Washington's ferocious, bare-knuckle performance as Rubin Carter."	Stephen Whitty
30%	Jakob the Liar (1999)	"Possesses a rewarding life of its own!"	Bob Campbell
41%	Men of Honor (2000)	"That much of it really happened doesn't matter; right here, on screen, it doesn't convince."	Stephen Whitty
83%	Magnolia (1999)	"Magnolia is real, full-tilt filmmaking, seducing our souls and nervous systems with a sensory, kinesthetic rush."	Bob Campbell
25%	Ready to Rumble (2000)	"There are just endless gags aimed at 11-year-old boys."	Stephen Whitty
93%	Princess Mononoke (Mononoke-hime) (1999)	"Princess Moonlike is graced with images of charm and phenomenal beauty."	Bob Campbell
13%	Whipped (1999)	"Cohen's direction is as crude and cramped as his thinking. Imagine a cheesy community theater devoted to dramatizing bathroom graffiti."	Bob Campbell
20%	Autumn in New York (2000)	"There's nothing magical about the romance in Autumn in New York, and nothing even very tragic about its love affair."	Stephen Whitty
14%	Pokemon the First Movie - Mewtwo vs. Mew (1999)	"Pokemon has opened up another front in an unrelenting campaign to bankrupt parents around the world."	Bob Campbell
54%	Girl, Interrupted (1999)	"Unlikely to inspire the kind of emotional recognition prompted by Kaysen's memoir."	Bob Campbell
10%	The Watcher (2000)	"The Watcher left me feeling: tired and dirty and battling a headache."	Stephen Whitty
25%	Digimon - The Movie (2000)	"The movie doesn't even try for coherence. Each of its three distinct episodes is barely comprehensible in itself."	Bob Campbell
28%	Gossip (1999)	"Gossip suits its title. It's exaggerated, untrustworthy and annoyingly hard to ignore."	Bob Campbell
43%	Center Stage (2000)	"The movie is quick and discreetly sexy and definitely goopy."	Stephen Whitty
82%	Love and Basketball (2000)	"Gina Prince-Bythewood's debut movie makes up in heart and spirit for its shortfalls in originality."	Bob Campbell
19%	Love Stinks (1999)	"In the last 10 minutes, the film even flickers to real life. But that doesn't make up for the more than 80 minutes that's gone before."	Stephen Whitty
