T-Meter Title | Year
27% Hollow Man (2000) The film becomes so much urgent nonsense, its killing spree [is] neither cheaply thrilling nor even more cheaply cathartic. - TNT's Rough Cut EDIT

33% 28 Days (2000) The saddest part about 28 Days is it's more fun when it's drunk. - TNT's Rough Cut EDIT

51% Steal This Movie (2000) Most of Steal This Movie plays with all the historical verity and cheapo sheen of a made-for-VH1 original. - TNT's Rough Cut EDIT

3% Bless the Child (2000) Bless the Child is pop junk, an airport paperback, literally, turned into a mid-budget devil thriller. - TNT's Rough Cut EDIT

77% Gladiator (2000) What elevates Gladiator to the near-greatness it occasionally achieves is the performance of Russell Crowe as Maximus. - TNT's Rough Cut EDIT

45% The Cell (2000) The Cell has virtually nothing on its mind but showcasing its sumptuous, year's-best production design, fine special effects, and demented sensibility. - TNT's Rough Cut EDIT

57% Mission: Impossible 2 (2000) To his credit, Woo milks every last ounce of poetry from this mission, filling out Robert Towne's anemic script with his trademark doves, slo-mo acrobatics, and double-fisted gunplay. - TNT's Rough Cut EDIT
Read More | Posted Jan 1, 2000
13% Whipped (1999) Whipped's biggest problem isn't that it's cynical or mean-spirited (which it certainly is), but that it's entirely false and utterly hollow. - TNT's Rough Cut EDIT
Read More | Posted Jan 1, 2000
89% Almost Famous (2000) The film reels with the nostalgia, exuberance, and bravado of an era long-gone, while also feeling nothing less than immediate and universal. - TNT's Rough Cut EDIT

16% The Art of War (2000) As directed by Christian Duguay with two left feet and no visual sense, Art of War fails to deliver even as a stock action film. - TNT's Rough Cut EDIT

3% Battlefield Earth (2000) Don't see this movie. - TNT's Rough Cut EDIT
Read More | Posted Jan 1, 2000
59% Hamlet (2000) One of this year's great films, a worthy addition in every way to the cinematic sub-genre that is Hamlet itself. - TNT's Rough Cut EDIT
Read More | Posted Jan 1, 2000
57% Road Trip (2000) What Road Trip's filmmakers forget is that even gross-out humor needs a soul. - TNT's Rough Cut EDIT
Read More | Posted Jan 1, 2000
11% The Watcher (2000) [James Spader] is eminently, um, watchable. - TNT's Rough Cut EDIT
Read More | Posted Jan 1, 2000
94% Best in Show (2000) Provides a never indulgent, always electrifying carte blanche to some of the most gifted screen comedians working today. - TNT's Rough Cut EDIT
Read More | Posted Jan 1, 2000
82% X-Men (2000) A rousing, crowd-pleaser that explodes with the meaningful heroics of flawed individuals struggling to save themselves. - TNT's Rough Cut EDIT
