Rating | T-Meter | Title | Year | Review |
---|---|---|---|
7/10 | 83% | Magnolia (1999) |
Magnolia is a jigsaw puzzle of a film that, unfortunately, once its final image takes shape, is far less compelling than the pieces from which it was fashioned.‐ Well Rounded Entertainment

7/10 | 47% | The Perfect Storm (2000) |
It succeeds well enough, if far from perfectly.‐ Well Rounded Entertainment

9/10 | 85% | The Sixth Sense (1999) |
While its momentum may be less than driving, like a bad dream, it becomes clear that The Sixth Sense is headed to some sort of big pay-off, and Shyamalan's carefully concocted twist ending doesn't disappoint.‐ Well Rounded Entertainment
