Bring It On (2000) 65% 3/5 EDIT “” – Hollywood.com Nov 20, 2008 Full Review The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005) 82% B EDIT “By keeping their story threads separate, "Sisterhood" benefits from solid pacing and character development. Since no one is stuck in the sidekick role, you get a chance to connect to each girl.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Jun 1, 2005 Full Review Ice Princess (2005) 52% C+ EDIT “We get that the heroine is geeky (laying groundwork for the duck-to-swan transformation), but must she babble physics formulas at parties?” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Mar 18, 2005 Full Review The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) 85% 4/5 EDIT “In a career-making performance, the saxophone-blowing, tantrum-throwing Law plays Dickie with such vigor and energy that when he exits, the light dims slightly from the film...” – Hollywood.com May 14, 2004 Full Review Mean Girls (2004) 84% C EDIT “Sadly, much like an SNL sketch, Mean Girls starts off sharp and juicy, then runs out of gas halfway through.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Apr 29, 2004 Full Review 13 Going on 30 (2004) 65% B EDIT “Garner's performance is uplifting. She's been touted recently as yet another possible heir to Julia Roberts' throne, and her attainable girl-next-door quality makes it's plain to see why.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Apr 22, 2004 Full Review Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004) 13% C EDIT “Try as it might, this glossy action adventure isn't nearly as clever as the Spy Kids franchise.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Mar 11, 2004 Full Review Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004) 13% C+ EDIT “Gives [Lohan] ample time to act starry-eyed and show off her dancing and singing, but little chance to prove she can hold her own among the Hilary Duffs of the world.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Feb 19, 2004 Full Review The Perfect Score (2004) 15% C EDIT “Possesses little of the snap or charisma of the films that inspired it.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Jan 29, 2004 Full Review You Got Served (2004) 14% C+ EDIT “Tries to be a story about triumph and teamwork. Instead it comes off like a group of high schoolers awkwardly auditioning for a play.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Jan 29, 2004 Full Review Pearl Harbor (2001) 24% 3/4 EDIT “The filmmakers would like you to know that this isn't typical action fare yet they've still created the most spectacular action scene in recent memory.” – Hollywood.com Jan 23, 2004 Full Review Torque (2004) 22% C EDIT “A Fast and the Furious on motorcycles that gets its juice from its road action but little else.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Jan 16, 2004 Full Review Bad Boys II (2003) 23% B EDIT “Watching a Bruckheimer with natural comics like Smith and Lawrence makes it all go down easily. If you like this type of movie, that is.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Jul 17, 2003 Full Review Boat Trip (2003) 6% D+ EDIT “Unabashedly dumb and pathetically offensive.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Mar 20, 2003 Full Review View From the Top (2003) 13% C EDIT “It dances into Spoofville, then jerks back into straight romantic comedy.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Mar 20, 2003 Full Review Cradle 2 the Grave (2003) 27% C EDIT “A formulaic picture that's entertaining enough, but makes you wonder if Li will ever duplicate his success in Asia in the States.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Feb 27, 2003 Full Review The Way Home (2002) 75% A- EDIT “An uncluttered, resonant gem that relays its universal points without lectures or confrontations.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Dec 5, 2002 Full Review The Santa Clause 2 (2002) 56% B+ EDIT “Allen is genuinely affable as Santa with wit.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Oct 31, 2002 Full Review Abandon (2002) 16% B- EDIT “You've convinced yourself it's a drama just before the story twists, after which the throwaway 'filler' scenes become conversation points you'll decipher on the way home.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Oct 18, 2002 Full Review Toy Story 2 (1999) 100% 5/5 EDIT “Parents should caution: After Toy Story 2, homes will likely be sprinkled with dust from attic boxes, as favorite playthings of yesteryear are brought out for a joyous reunion.” – Hollywood.com Aug 2, 2002 Full Review Pokémon: The First Movie (1998) 17% 2/5 EDIT “The film is baffling, amateur and somewhat contradictory about violence.” – Hollywood.com Jun 28, 2002 Full Review The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg (1999) 97% 3.5/5 EDIT “Kempner puts Cole Porter standards to movie clips from Pride of the Yankees, Woman of the Year and others, providing the right amount of baseball nostalgia.” – Hollywood.com Jun 21, 2002 Full Review Murder by Numbers (2002) 30% B EDIT “Doesn't bank on cheap plot twists or unrealistic betrayals, but rather the subtle, juicy roles bestowed on two young actors.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Apr 18, 2002 Full Review National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002) 18% C- EDIT “Had it not wandered into aforementioned eclair territory, it could have been better than a discount video rental.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Apr 4, 2002 Full Review How High (2001) 25% D EDIT “You've seen it before.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Apr 3, 2002 Full Review
