About Adam (2001)
"Once you succumb to the picture's gentle rhythm and quirky sense of humour, you're sure to find it beguiling, intriguing and over too soon."
Neil Smith
American Psycho (2000)
"Bale has never been better."
Simon Wardell
Splat
Battlefield Earth (2000)
"Big-budget, little-intelligence entertainment."
Lisa Andrews
The Beach (2000)
"A kind of adventure holiday for the MTV generation rather than a cautionary tale of a society that turns in on itself."
Monika Maurer
Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000)
"While it's not as clever as it thinks it is, it's considerably better than we had any right to expect."
Robin Askew
Bridget Jones' Diary (2001)
"Faithful to its source, perfectly cast and even funnier than the book."
Jane Crowther
Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001)
"There are some great set-pieces and comic moments and enough drama and beauty for some pleasant escapism."
Francesca Franklyn
Chicken Run (2000)
"It all builds to a fabulously frantic, hilarious action-packed climax."
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (1999)
"Love, pathos, fear and humour are all brilliantly evoked -- for this is not simply a great martial arts movie, this is an Ang Lee film."
Enemy at the Gates (2001)
"Works as both a compelling thriller and engaging romance."
Ian Johnston
Evolution (2001)
"The funniest summer blockbuster since Men In Black."
Adrian Hennigan
The Family Man (2000)
"While it may be wholly unoriginal The Family Man is also surprisingly touching and funny."
Gladiator (2000)
"A triumph!"
Peter Hill
In the Mood for Love (2001)
"A feast for the eyes and -- with a Nat King Cole vocal refrain -- also the ears."
Jurassic Park III (2001)
"Effective enough to pass the time."
Joel Crawley
Memento (2001)
"This is virtuoso filmmaking, stylistically dazzling and head-scratchingly intricate."
Stephen Applebaum
The Million Dollar Hotel (2001)
"Vacuous, tedious, pretentious and featuring some uniformly atrocious acting."
One Night at McCool's (2001)
"Funny and imaginative."
Sexy Beast (2001)
"Glazer insists on using inadvisable fantasy images, and it becomes clear that the film has been haphazardly restructured."
Snatch (2001)
"At least Ritchie's leanly plotted, briskly directed yarn is more entertaining than all the other Brit gangster flicks that trailed in the wake of Lock, Stock."
What Women Want (2000)
"Makes for passable entertainment."
