| Paycheck (2003) | "
At times, the whole thing feels like a parody of the genre. Still, director John Woo makes all this nonsense thoroughly entertaining, full of the slow-motion explosions, Mexican standoffs and the doves you've come to expect." Posted Dec 23, 2003 |

One of 2003's worst, Honey lazily steals its story from a host of '80s musical-themed flicks." Posted Dec 4, 2003 |

April's attempts at cooking provide most of the laughs, and watching her trying to mash raw potatoes is worth the price of admission alone." Posted Nov 14, 2003 |

| Love Actually (2003) | "
Writer-director Richard Curtis has jam-packed the story with too many characters and the whole thing borders on sickeningly sweet. But a fitfully funny screenplay and irreproachable cast keep you from suffering cinematic toothache." Posted Nov 6, 2003 |

For all the ponderous philosophizing found in Reloaded, Matrix Revolutions is surprisingly straightforward and more than a little cheesy." Posted Nov 4, 2003 |
