A Cool Dry Place (1998)

"While the movie deals with the issues of single parenthood in a believable manner, director John N. Smith's handling borders on pedestrian."

Dan Lybarger

American Movie (1999)

"Like Ed Wood, this is the story of a man with debatable talent who is so artistically driven that his raw enthusiasm keeps him afloat when finances and ability conspire against him."

Genghis Blues (2000)

"The film, like the music it spotlights, begins to drone."

The Third Miracle (1999)

"The Third Miracle is a film rife with religious ideology but also steeped in the atmosphere of a classic detective novel."

Jon Niccum

Rules of Engagement (2000)

"Whereas a TV version of the same material might flounder, this slick, big-budget film works because there is legitimate doubt as to both the level of guilt of the accused and the outcome of the trial."

My Best Fiend (Mein liebster Feind - Klaus Kinski) (1999)

"The pairing of the director and actor invariably resulted in extraordinary creative collaborations. These men -- arrogant, ambitious, sadistic, fanatical, and in Kinski's case, probably insane -- certainly deserved each other."

Where the Money Is (2000)

"The money of the film's title should refer to Paul Newman, because the actor's presence elevates this routine caper into a pleasantly bankable diversion."

Jon Niccum

Gossip (1999)

"Though it is reasonably effective as a morality tale on the dangers of spreading a rumor, it is even more pertinent to the perils of burying a worthy screenplay under layers of big-budget gloss."

The Virgin Suicides (2000)

"If [Coppola's] debut film is any indication, talent does run in the family -- even if it is a somewhat disjointed talent."

Jon Niccum

65%

Dinosaur (2000)

"Dinosaur mixes state-of-the-art visuals with bottom-of-the-barrel scripting."

Jon Niccum

The Filth and the Fury (2000)

"Unlike most rock documentaries that rely on abundant concert imagery and studio outtakes, Filth is less concerned with the music than the setting that produced it."

Jon Niccum

68%

Shaft (2000)

"Despite a fairly intriguing first hour that captures the original film's leisurely pace and street-smart mood, what finally conks Shaft's afro is a third act that lacks a compelling, forward-moving plot."

Jon Niccum

The Perfect Storm (2000)

"The movie itself is like a raging storm: impossible to ignore while it's happening but easy to forget when the weather has died down."

Jon Niccum

42%

The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle (2000)

"For the most part, the film succeeds, with predictable complaints stemming from the stretch marks that plague all features based on TV/animated shows."

Jon Niccum

82%

X-Men (2000)

"X-Men is a well-cast, franchise-primed assault, executed with subtle precision by director Bryan Singer."
