Shakespeare in Love (1998) 92% A EDIT “An energetic, joyous celebration of love, art, language, and the creative process.” – AboutFilm.com Aug 11, 2003 Full Review Hannibal (2001) 39% F EDIT “If only the adorably sentimental Dr. Lecter could cut my skull open and remove the chunk of my brain that houses the memory of having seen this film.” – AboutFilm.com Aug 11, 2003 Full Review American Beauty (1999) 87% A EDIT “Elegant and gorgeous in its careful progression from satire to poignant drama, AMERICAN BEAUTY celebrates the rewards of the journey instead of glorifying the destination or the prize.” – AboutFilm.com Aug 11, 2003 Full Review The Insider (1999) 96% A- EDIT “THE INSIDER may not be groundbreaking in terms of its muckraking revelations or its cinematic achievements, but it is an exceptionally well-crafted, well-acted drama.” – AboutFilm.com Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Titus (1999) 69% B EDIT “a brutal, busy, messy, sometimes darkly funny epic about revenge as historical Mobius strip... a twisted plane from which there is no escape” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Message in a Bottle (1999) 32% D- EDIT “Kevin Costner's...surly pouting and willful detachment are so unappealing that director Luis Mandoki is forced to resort to the dreadful falling in love by montage approach.” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Magnolia (1999) 82% A+ EDIT “the most audacious, courageous, and cinematically complex filmmaking of the year... a deeply collaborative tightrope walk of immense proportions.” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Shanghai Noon (2000) 80% B EDIT “so light-hearted and ingratiatingly good-natured that it seems churlish to begrudge its wispiness” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Sunshine (1999) 74% B+ EDIT “A minimalist fable posing as sprawling historical epic” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Mansfield Park (1999) 78% B EDIT “An agreeable and reasonably charming fusion of the titular novel and Ms. Austen's personal writings.” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Fargo (1996) 95% A EDIT “Conjuring a universe that is at once singular and familiar, FARGO is that rarest of breeds: a film that genuinely merits the word unique.” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The General's Daughter (1999) 22% C+ EDIT “A movie that practically screams "Hollywood," this murder-mystery/thriller is as slick as sheet-ice and just about as deep.” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Tumbleweeds (1999) 82% C+ EDIT “As much as these characters look and feel authentic from frame to frame, something about the film itself rings false and feels just a bit hollow.” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Frequency (2000) 70% B EDIT “Stephen Hawking himself couldn't hope to explain the dynamics of the climactic scene, but who cares? It's just a movie, and a more than adequately engaging one.” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) 85% A- EDIT “Beautifully crafted from start to finish” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The Straight Story (1999) 95% A EDIT “This is every bit a David Lynch film, despite its apparent departure from the disturbing subject matter and edgy darkness.” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The Cider House Rules (1999) 72% B EDIT “This film tells its intended tale about as well as it could be told, and with a sweetness and generosity of spirit that is undeniable and admirable.” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The Patriot (2000) 62% B- EDIT “If you go with it, it's fairly entertaining, if only because playing guess-the-next-clich can be a heap of fun.” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The Hurricane (1999) 82% B EDIT “It's a testament to how good most of the film is--and to how great Washington is--that its omissions and its fizzling toward the end never threaten to kill the movie itself.” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Arlington Road (1999) 62% C- EDIT “It's impossible to reconcile the giggle-inducing style of Pellington's direction with the real issues the film addresses and come up with a coherent take on his intent.” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Girl, Interrupted (1999) 53% B EDIT “Saddled with a dreadfully ugly wig that seems to be visual shorthand for "she's one very messed up girl," Jolie grabs center stage in every scene she's in.” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Erin Brockovich (2000) 87% B+ EDIT “Though ERIN PROCKOVICH certainly treads on familiar fight-the-power turf...director Steven Soderbergh has wisely taken the scenic route.” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Gladiator (2000) 80% B EDIT “What Gladiator lacks in narrative resonance is almost successfully offset by what it provides visually.” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Sleepy Hollow (1999) 71% B+ EDIT “A terrific ride, despite its remarkable hollowness as a narrative.” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review You Can Count on Me (2000) 95% B+ EDIT “Few things are more difficult than bringing the ordinary into focus with the sort of grace and quirky specificity that Lonergan achieves.” – AboutFilm.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review
