0.5/4 | 10% | Woo (1998) |
Pinkett Smith, who was so good in her supporting role in The Nutty Professor, is here little more than a mannequin for skimpy clothes.‐ Chicago Tribune

1/4 | 21% | Air Bud 2 - Golden Receiver (1998) |
[The film is] marked by dumbfoundingly bad dialogue, cliche-driven plotting and groan-worthy predictability.‐ Chicago Tribune

2/4 | 90% | Le fils de l'épicier (The Grocer's Son) (2008) |
For all of its sleepy charms and pretty shots of the countryside, the film doesn't serve up a lot of fresh insights, unless you count finding out what senior citizens buy from grocery vans in these little hamlets.‐ Chicago Tribune

2/4 | 54% | Steve Earle: Just an American Boy (2003) |
Even for a big fan like me, parts of this documentary (especially musical performances) just go on too long.‐ Chicago Tribune

3.5/4 | 95% | Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India (2001) |
After having seen this Cinemascope extravaganza in a theater, on DVD and video, I still think the big screen experience is worth it.‐ Chicago Tribune

43% | Center Stage (2000) |
Fortunately, it also contains several more complex characters who manage to make the film a surprisingly engaging affair.‐ Chicago Tribune

A major buzzkill!‐ Chicago Tribune

28% | Gossip (1999) |
The pseudo-philosophical questions posed here are merely excuses to get a bunch of attractive young people to engage in sex, violence and the mass consumption of alcohol.‐ Chicago Tribune

27% | Running Free (2000) |
Until we really know what animals are thinking, it's probably best to leave talking animal stories in the care of comedic filmmakers.‐ Chicago Tribune
