Bad Santa (2003) 78% EDIT “Once the rude shock of a profane Claus wears off, there's not really much to do except await the next outrageous remark.” – The New Yorker Dec 5, 2013 Full Review Spirited Away (2001) 96% EDIT “It's an amazing work, filled with a visual intelligence that's meticulously composed and obscenely clever.” – The New Yorker Nov 27, 2013 Full Review Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) 82% EDIT “Two down, presumably five to go, and already the franchise is entering dangerous territory: if you aren't one of the many who know their Harry Potter chapter and verse, prepare for a nap.” – The New Yorker Nov 26, 2013 Full Review Gigli (2003) 6% EDIT “It's hard to tell who this movie was intended for: those who think that a mentally challenged boy singing dirty rap lyrics is cute and funny? Those who find Ben Affleck's brow to be ineffably mysterious? Students of Stoic philosophy looking for a test?” – The New Yorker Jun 5, 2013 Full Review Cars (2006) 74% EDIT “It's impossible to find more joy in the dark at the moment.” – Slate Jun 9, 2006 Full Review A Prairie Home Companion (2006) 81% EDIT “By the movie's own reckoning, it's a success: a dented, mysterious item that you would find buried in a secondhand store -- a relic of the old, weird America that Keillor so loves.” – Slate Jun 8, 2006 Full Review The Break-Up (2006) 34% EDIT “There's no reason not to see The Break-Up, but there's also no reason, assuming the date is going well, not to skip it and order dessert.” – Slate Jun 2, 2006 Full Review X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) 56% EDIT “X-Men: The Last Stand is an uninspired hodgepodge.” – Slate May 25, 2006 Full Review Mission: Impossible III (2006) 73% EDIT “For all of the movie's professional craft and lovely vertigo, the experience is like eating popcorn in a guillotine.” – Slate May 4, 2006 Full Review American Dreamz (2006) 39% EDIT “Many of us have an American Dream: to go to the movies and laugh. The new comedy American Dreamz will fulfill that fantasy for some people.” – Slate Apr 21, 2006 Full Review The Butterfly Effect (2004) 34% EDIT “It's as if [Kutcher] decided that he would prove himself as a dramatic actor by trying out every clichd serious role in the history of cinema.” – Slate Jan 27, 2004 Full Review Elf (2003) 85% EDIT “It's irony-free fun for the whole family.” – Slate Nov 7, 2003 Full Review Alien (1979) 93% EDIT “The scariest movie in history is actually a bit shy.” – Slate Nov 1, 2003 Full Review The Rundown (2003) 69% EDIT “The Rundown, like many recent action movies, is aggressively adolescent.” – Slate Sep 27, 2003 Full Review 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) 37% EDIT “2 Fast 2 Furious is just 2 lame, 2 tame, and 2 much like a video game.” – Slate Jun 6, 2003 Full Review Morvern Callar (2002) 85% EDIT “We are accustomed to seeing people do disturbing things in movies, but rare is the movie that convincingly presents the interior life of a cracked mind.” – Slate Jan 3, 2003 Full Review Sonny (2002) 21% EDIT “Nicolas Cage isn't the first actor to lead a group of talented friends astray, and this movie won't create a ruffle in what is already an erratic career.” – Slate Dec 27, 2002 Full Review Maid in Manhattan (2002) 37% EDIT “J. Lo will earn her share of the holiday box office pie, although this movie makes one thing perfectly clear: She's a pretty woman, but she's no working girl.” – Slate Dec 16, 2002 Full Review
