American Pie 2 (2001) |
|
"[It] has an edge over its predecessor: the uninteresting characters in the cast are shunted aside, and the funnier ones are given more emphasis." | |

An American Rhapsody (2001) |
|
"[It] will resonate with anybody in the audience who's an immigrant or a child of immigrants, even though Gardos loses her grip on the material in the third act." | |

Amores Perros (2001) |
|
"Few directorial debuts are as accomplished and striking ... I think the uproar over the dog scenes is getting out of hand ... These scenes are necessary ..." | |

Blow (2001) |
|
"For a while, Demme keeps things moving along at a taut and buoyant pace. But unfortunately, on the stylistic side, he opts for trite GoodFellas-ese." | |

Catfish in Black Bean Sauce (2000) |

"Catfish is shaky for a first film, but because of his insight on Asian American identity, I'm looking forward to Lo's next effort." | |

Charlotte Sometimes (2002) |

Dark Days (2000) |

The Debut (2000) |
|
"I would rather have the Filipino-American cinema movement be jumpstarted by this flawed yet honest indie effort than by Asian male-bashing tripe like The Joy Luck Club." | |
