|---|---|---|---|
|
| The Man Who Cried (2001) | " If only all this effort had all been expended on a worthier endeavor." |
|
| One Night at McCool's (2001) | " Even when the film makes no sense, it's still an enjoyably off-beat exercise." |
|
| With a Friend Like Harry (2001) | |
|
| The Claim (2001) | Though director Michael Winterbottom has impressively created a believable 19th century prospecting town, he is unable to bring the people who live in it to life. |
|
| Just Visiting (2001) | |
|
| Spy Kids (2001) | " A good live-action children's movie -- a species so rare that many presumed it extinct." |
|
| 'Til There Was You (1997) | A fragmentary and amateurish fairy tale. |
|
| 28 Days (2000) | Many of these 28 days are as pat and superficial as anything in a routine TV movie, making a frustratingly uneven film. |
|
| A Thin Line Between Love and Hate takes its name from the Persuaders 1971 hit that has been re-recorded by the Pretenders, Annie Lennox and H-Town. You could have just as much fun simply playing one of them and skipping the movie. | |
|
| Anna and the King (1999) | It is pleasant, occasionally amusing -- and often dull. |
|
| Battlefield Earth (2000) | Deeply dumb, depressingly derivative and just plain nonsense. |
|
| Boys and Girls (2000) | Robert Iscove pads the slight script with montages of San Francisco. |
|
| D3: The Mighty Ducks (1996) | Nothing to quack about there. |
|
| Dick (1999) | There isn't much to Dick's shtick. |
|
| End of Days (1999) | In a performance that is among his worst, [Arnold] seems to have trouble with his lines and doesn't get to make his trademark wisecracks. |
|
| Face Off (1997) | It could be argued that this movie's callousness toward human life is nihilistic and nasty. But Woo takes everything so absurdly far that audiences laugh at what horrified them moments before. |
|
| Firelight (1998) | No article or quote available |
|
| Frequency (2000) | The movie's whole concept is ludicrous, hard to accept even on its own contrived terms. But if you are willing to suspend disbelief, the film is enjoyable. |
|
| From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) | As the bloodsuckers attack our 'heroes' again and again, you feel like you're watching a video game -- from dusk to dawn. |
|
| Good Burger (1997) | Good Burger is not very well done. But it does have energy. |
|
| Home Alone 3 (1997) | Staying home alone is definitely a better idea than seeing Home Alone 3. |
|
| I Got the Hook-Up (1998) | Slipshod storytelling, junior high-level acting and direction that resembles Aunt Gertrude's home movies. |
|
| I'm Not Rappaport (1996) | This is good stuff. Unfortunately, director Herb Gardner is a little too fond of writer Herb Gardner's script, which just keeps going and going and going -- until even two old pros such as Walter and Ossie have worn out their welcome. |
|
| It's My Party (1996) | This Party has its funny, sad and awkward moments. But at the end, you'll be glad you went. |
|
| Jingle All the Way (1996) | Here's Arnie, of all people, playing a bedraggled suburbanite, and his perversely amusing casting boosts a crass, sometimes nasty and finally funny celebration of holiday mass-merchandising and greed. |
|
| Joe's Apartment (1996) | So much up-to- the-minute technology hasn't been used for so disastrous a product since the Hindenburg. |
|
| Lake Placid (1999) | Pullman once made a career playing bumbling idiots, but now he seems to play only dashing leading men. He was better at bumblers. |
|
| Lawnmower Man 2: Jobe's War (1995) | Mowing the lawn might be more involving than watching this subpar sci-fi sequel, which manages to be complicated and witless at the same time. |
|
| Light It Up (1999) | Crackling dialogue, surprising intelligence and an emotional wallop. |
|
| Little Indian, Big City (1994) | The French idea of a 'family film' is a bit kinkier than what we're accustomed to. |
|
| Love and Basketball (2000) | One wishes producer Spike Lee had stepped in to give the dialogue some sass. |
|
| Madame Butterfly (1995) | Besides a visual combination of authentic Japanese realism and picturesque, dream-like cinematography that matches the lushness of Puccini's music, director Frederic Mitterrand gives the opera a distinctively cinematic gravity and subtlety. |
|
| Mansfield Park (1999) | Even if you have never read Austen, you will sense that something is wrong here long before a nude scene that would have made the author hide under a table. |
|
| Microcosmos (1996) | A movie with a quirky vision. |
|
| Mother Night (1996) | A serious drama that is also funny without crossing into burlesque. |
|
| Price of Glory (2000) | Price of Glory is not a contender. |
|
| Princess Mononoke (1997) | Miyazaki portrays nature with a breathtaking touch. |
|
| Spawn (1997) | There's no suspense, no emotional involvement with the characters, and the cynical, sophomoric storytelling is confusing. |
|
| Spy Hard (1996) | You won't laugh hard at Spy Hard. And that's not because the jokes aren't funny. Most of them aren't even jokes. |
|
| Stigmata (1999) | The scariest thing about this appalling and seemingly endless movie is that you paid for your ticket and now have to sit through it. |
|
| Swingers (1996) | Swingers is uneven, amateurish and borderline misogynistic. But it's also very funny, and it never loses its cool. |
|
| The Adventures of Pinocchio (1996) | It's the woodsy children's movie Walt Disney didn't want to make: chockablock with mischievous mayhem and light on the sap. |
|
| Captures the tone and spirit of the original. | |
|
| The Astronaut's Wife (1999) | Houston, we have a problem. It's called The Astronaut's Wife. |
|
| Some of this is very funny; much of it isn't. | |
|
| The Locusts (1997) | It's hot, it's sultry and everybody's smokin' in the rural Kansas of The Locusts. Too bad the movie never catches fire. |
|
| The Watcher (2000) | The same sick story. Even the small touches seem stale. |
|
| The Way of the Gun (2000) | Many times you will want to look away. But if you can stand it, you should pay close attention, partly to fully savor the clever twists and double-crosses in this intricately plotted film. |
|
| The World Is Not Enough (1999) | Credit director Michael Apted for raising the acting standards. |
|
| Three to Tango (1999) | Much of the plot makes little sense. |
