T-Meter	Title \| Year	Review
75%	Adrenaline Drive (1999)	Stirs up about as much adrenaline as a good nap. - Film Journal International EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 1, 2007
20%	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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 18, 2002
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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 18, 2002
71%	Dick (1999)	Manages to land itself somewhere between All the President's Men and Clueless, with brilliant comic performances throughout. - Film Journal International EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 18, 2002
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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 13, 2001
13%	Whipped (1999)	The film by first time writer / director Peter M. Cohen manages to move along rather nicely. - Film Scouts EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
33%	Price of Glory (2000)	Goes down for the count in a hodgepodge of emotions and familiar boxing-movie conventions. - Film Journal International EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
40%	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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
26%	Doug's 1st Movie (1999)	Some things are better left to television. - Film Journal International EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
67%	Dogma (1999)	One of the year's best films! - Film Scouts EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
21%	Inspector Gadget (1999)	Inspector Gadget is strictly for kids--or adults jacked up on caffeine. - Film Journal International EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
16%	Dudley Do-Right (1999)	It has not sunk in yet in Hollywood that some cartoons are cartoons for a reason. - Film Journal International EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
71%	Dick (1999)	A hilarious alternative history lesson in the events surrounding the Watergate debacle. - Film Scouts EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
22%	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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
63%	B. Monkey (1999)	Hands down, it's one of the outstanding films of the year. - Film Journal International EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
19%	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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
30%	Big Momma's House (2000)	A fat suit with a paper-thin plot does not a movie make. - Film Journal International EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
36%	Blue Streak (1999)	Succeeds as an undemanding, fast-paced comedy. - Film Journal International EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
41%	Varsity Blues (1999)	Cliches withstanding, Varsity Blues can be enjoyable if you check your brain at the popcorn stand. - Film Journal International EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
35%	The Waterboy (1998)	Although uneven, the film certainly has its heart in the right place. - Film Journal International EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
19%	Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999)	An entertaining film full of Williamson's familiar movie-reference-laced dialogue. - Film Journal International EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
19%	Pokémon - 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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
88%	Bandits (1997)	There is not much to see here. - Film Journal International EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
86%	The Castle (1999)	A wonderful, fun film, complete with an unlikely hero willing to take on the world. - Film Journal International EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
36%	Dog Park (1998)	Considering the level of talent involved, Dog Park can only be branded a disappointment. - Film Journal International EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
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 EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 1, 2000
