86% | The Exorcist (1973) |
William Friedkin's adaptation of William Peter Blatty's novel, with a screenplay by the author, is a dead-serious meditation on the struggle between good and evil.‐ South Florida Sun-Sentinel

40% | Can't Hardly Wait (1998) |
It's mostly broad comedy. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just that it's all been done before.‐ South Florida Sun-Sentinel

2/4 | 42% | Callas Forever (2004) |

53% | The Golden Bowl (2000) |
Is there such a thing as too much beauty, too much period elegance, too much good taste? The Golden Bowl seems to tip the scale.‐ South Florida Sun-Sentinel

It's precisely what a Latin jazz aficionado would want, and what would lead a novice to an affection for the genre.‐ South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Energetic and powerful, Amores Perros captures the surreal culture clashes of Mexico City to the beat of contemporary sounds, from salsa to Mexican rock.‐ South Florida Sun-Sentinel

73% | Before Night Falls (2001) |
Before Night Falls is a flawed obituary, but a satisfyingly poetic one nonetheless.‐ South Florida Sun-Sentinel

[My kids] had fun and left the theater laughing, mostly at Kronk, the villainess' dumb-jock sidekick.‐ South Florida Sun-Sentinel

3% | Battlefield Earth (2000) |
Nothing wrong with borrowing from other movies. Except that the new piece needs some fresh energy to retool the old ideas and bring them back to life. And that is exactly what Battlefield Earth lacks.‐ South Florida Sun-Sentinel
