Godzilla (1998) 20% EDIT “This cheesy turkey is also a bit hammy. Come to think of it, this isn't a movie. It's a delicatessen.” – CNN.com Feb 15, 2023 Full Review Never Been Kissed (1999) 56% EDIT “This is one of those films that just doesn't know when to end.” – CNN.com Jan 23, 2019 Full Review Deep Blue Sea (1999) 60% EDIT “If you like big summer action flicks with plenty of bite, check this one out. Then go out for a big sushi dinner. It'll make you feel better.” – CNN.com Jan 11, 2019 Full Review Deep Impact (1998) 45% EDIT “The filmmakers want us to care about all these people, but we never really get to know them, and there is no sense of impending doom except when Leoni starts chugging martinis.” – CNN.com Jun 26, 2018 Full Review The X-Files (1998) 66% EDIT “I predict you'll be pleasantly surprised, and may even find yourself in front of the TV on Sunday nights with the rest of us X-Files groupies.” – CNN.com Feb 5, 2018 Full Review American Beauty (1999) 87% EDIT “American Beauty is deeply disturbing, acerbically funny, brilliantly acted, breathtakingly original and highly sophisticated.” – CNN.com Feb 22, 2015 Full Review Lost in Space (1998) 27% EDIT “Once again an idea for a big budgeted feature film has been pulled from old issues of TV Guide.” – CNN.com Sep 17, 2014 Full Review Wild Wild West (1999) 16% EDIT “The result? A cautionary tale about boys and their toys and what happens when a star, Will Smith, and a director, Barry Sonnenfeld, are given way too much money to play with.” – CNN.com Jun 17, 2014 Full Review The Sixth Sense (1999) 86% EDIT “Willis turns in a measured and understated performance.” – CNN.com Aug 27, 2013 Full Review The Boxer (1997) 80% EDIT “With Watson and Day-Lewis you can almost feel the heat, and their situation never feels contrived or artificial.” – CNN.com May 14, 2013 Full Review Toy Story 2 (1999) 100% EDIT “Toy Story 2 is a brilliant example of that rarest of Hollywood phenomena a sequel to a major hit film thats as good, if not better, than the original.” – CNN.com Aug 6, 2012 Full Review The Story of Us (1999) 25% EDIT “If you're a sucker for warm and fuzzy emotional manipulation, bring some tissues. If not, bring a book and a flashlight.” – CNN.com Jun 18, 2012 Full Review The Cell (2000) 46% EDIT “What can you expect in The Cell? Operatic visuals, a beautiful Lopez, great acting by Vaughn and D'Onofrio and an extremely sick storyline that will make you squirm in your seat.” – CNN.com Jul 6, 2010 Full Review The Mist (2007) 74% EDIT “It's a horror movie of real conviction. It deserves to be a hit.” – CNN.com Dec 1, 2007 Full Review Dan in Real Life (2007) 65% EDIT “This is his [Carell's] most assured and rounded performance to date.” – CNN.com Nov 3, 2007 Full Review We Own the Night (2007) 57% EDIT “Time will tell, but from where I'm sitting this deceptively routine cop movie runs deep. In fact, it already looks like a classic. Cagney and Tracy would be proud.” – CNN.com Oct 20, 2007 Full Review The Simpsons Movie (2007) 87% EDIT “Nobody should have a cow. Bigger and longer don't always mean better, but The Simpsons Movie is still a cut above.” – CNN.com Aug 3, 2007 Full Review Hairspray (2007) 92% EDIT “Bright, campy and wonderfully light, Hairspray reminds us that fun comes in all shapes and sizes. It's also one of the few 'event' movies this summer that doesn't outstay its welcome. That's worth singing about, no matter what your name is.” – CNN.com Jul 28, 2007 Full Review Beyond the Sea (2004) 43% EDIT “Many people under 40 may not even remember Bobby Darin, let alone know about his remarkable life story. Beyond the Sea may rectify that problem and stand as a wonderful tribute to an amazing talent who left us all too soon.” – CNN.com Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Bubble (2005) 72% EDIT “At times it's so mind-numbingly dull, it becomes funny. But it's not a feature film. I'm not really sure what it is.” – CNN.com Jan 27, 2006 Full Review The New World (2005) 63% EDIT “Watching The New World is like watching a snail cross an eight-lane highway.” – CNN.com Jan 20, 2006 Full Review Transamerica (2005) 77% EDIT “The result of Huffman's and Zegers' fine performances, and Tucker's excellent work, is one of the most thought-provoking and best films of the year.” – CNN.com Jan 13, 2006 Full Review Match Point (2005) 77% EDIT “This is a wonderfully provocative film with complex characters and breathless twists and turns.” – CNN.com Jan 6, 2006 Full Review Casanova (2005) 44% EDIT “Is it Oscar bait? Not in the least. But it's a great date flick and perfect for a time full of all those 'serious' films.” – CNN.com Dec 31, 2005 Full Review Munich (2005) 79% EDIT “A visceral, emotionally exhausting work that dares to ask questions -- and gives no easy answers.” – CNN.com Dec 24, 2005 Full Review
