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." |

Charlotte Sometimes (2002) |
"The film produces enough sexual tension to power a small island and fuel hours of cafe discussion." |

Dark Days (2000) |
"There are shots in Dark Days that rank with the best black-and-white photojournalism pieces of the '30s and '40s." |

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." |
