| 21% | The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999) |
There is nothing worse than watching a bad movie while being constantly reminded of a great one.‐ Film Journal International

| 96% | The Iron Giant (1999) |
An absolute classic of its genre-the rare example of an animated film where everything manages to work without going for cheap laughs or cutesy schmaltz.‐ Film Journal International

|
| 71% | Dick (1999) |
Manages to land itself somewhere between All the President's Men and Clueless, with brilliant comic performances throughout.‐ Film Journal International

| 33% | The Underground Comedy Movie (1999) |
Anyone offended by unbearably bad films, jokes that are not funny and wasting 90 minutes of their lives is, as promised, guaranteed to be offended.‐ Film Journal International

| 13% | Whipped (1999) |
The film by first time writer / director Peter M. Cohen manages to move along rather nicely.‐ Film Scouts

|
| 24% | Gun Shy (2000) |
It is not funny enough to be the spoof it wants to be, not exciting or suspenseful enough to support the action scenes.‐ Film Journal International

| 48% | Detroit Rock City (1999) |
A wonderful, funny film that manages to strike a nice balance of John Hughes teen comedy and late-'70s period piece.‐ Film Journal International

|
| 33% | Price of Glory (2000) |
Goes down for the count in a hodgepodge of emotions and familiar boxing-movie conventions.‐ Film Journal International

|
| 13% | Whipped (1999) |
Manages to move along rather nicely, despite a paper-thin premise and the overriding swagger of its cliched twenty-something males who think that they are God's gift to women.‐ Film Journal International

|
| 39% | She's All That (1999) |
A very entertaining and touching film and one of the better efforts in the recent class of teen flicks.‐ Film Journal International

|
| 33% | The 13th Warrior (1999) |
Amounts to little more than a jumble of fire, horses and gory battle scenes. Amidst the constant flow of blood and mud and rain, you kind of feel dirty having just sat through it.‐ Film Journal International

| 21% | Inspector Gadget (1999) |
Inspector Gadget is strictly for kids--or adults jacked up on caffeine.‐ Film Journal International

| 16% | Dudley Do-Right (1999) |
It has not sunk in yet in Hollywood that some cartoons are cartoons for a reason.‐ Film Journal International

|
| 71% | Dick (1999) |
A hilarious alternative history lesson in the events surrounding the Watergate debacle.‐ Film Scouts

|
| 86% | Trekkies (1999) |
Serves as a funny and insightful glimpse into the world of that strangest creature of all--the 'Star Trek' fan.‐ Film Journal International

|
| 23% | Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999) |
A scattershot movie where you sit and wait for that next two minutes of funny stuff which often never comes.‐ Film Journal International

| 20% | Jack Frost (1998) |
The entire second half of this film is almost unbearable and the first half isn't all that much better.‐ Film Journal International

|
|
| 96% | The Iron Giant (1999) |
It is chock-full of late-'50s sci-fi and pop culture and manages to capture the instilled paranoia of the time.‐ Film Scouts

|
| 9% | The Bachelor (1999) |
The gag is evident from the get-go and the movie just repeats itself until its obvious conclusion.‐ Film Journal International

|
|
| 17% | Held Up (2000) |
While an attempt to satirize the conventions of the hostage drama may have seemed an interesting notion, Held Up falls down on almost every count.‐ Film Journal International

| 30% | Big Momma's House (2000) |
A fat suit with a paper-thin plot does not a movie make.‐ Film Journal International

|
|
| 36% | Blue Streak (1999) |
Succeeds as an undemanding, fast-paced comedy.‐ Film Journal International

|
| 40% | Varsity Blues (1999) |
Cliches withstanding, Varsity Blues can be enjoyable if you check your brain at the popcorn stand.‐ Film Journal International

| 32% | Superstar (1999) |
Just picture an SNL skit that doesn't know when to end, with no musical guest or at least a few commercials to break up the monotony, and you begin to get the idea.‐ Film Journal International

| 35% | The Waterboy (1998) |
Although uneven, the film certainly has its heart in the right place.‐ Film Journal International

| 19% | Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999) |
An entertaining film full of Williamson's familiar movie-reference-laced dialogue.‐ Film Journal International

|
|
| 25% | The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas (2000) |
Much like a hunk of rock candy--sort of interesting-looking but ultimately none too fulfilling.‐ Film Journal International

|
| 15% | Pokemon - The Movie 2000 (2000) |
Not only not very good but utterly annoying to anyone with an adverse reaction to strobe-like, choppy animation and high-pitched squeaks and beeps.‐ Film Journal International

| 88% | Bandits (1997) |
There is not much to see here.‐ Film Journal International

|
| 36% | Dog Park (1998) |
Considering the level of talent involved, Dog Park can only be branded a disappointment.‐ Film Journal International

|
| 10% | Wing Commander (1999) |
A completely vapid, special-effects reel that would make a pretty nice screensaver for a computer, but as far as a 90-minute movie, it can lean somewhat towards the tedious.‐ Film Journal International

|
| 90% | Galaxy Quest (1999) |
When the movie works, it works well. However, Galaxy Quest treads dangerously close to becoming a parody of itself.‐ Film Journal International
