| Rating | T-Meter | Title | Year | Add Date (default) |
|---|---|---|---|
|
| Meet the Parents (2000) | " Never before have two such skilled actors been so monstrously squandered in a movie so replete with failed gags and pathetic gaffes." — Film Threat |
|
| " Please, for the love of God, don't let it be a franchise. Think of the parents." — Film Threat | |
|
| The Family Man (2000) | " One of the few films this season able to offer something likely to entertain almost everyone." — Film Threat |
|
| Miss Congeniality (2000) | " Miss Congeniality isn't awful, but it isn't utterly entertaining or incredibly original either, it's just right in the middle." — Film Threat |
|
| Save the Last Dance (2001) | " Performances throughout are solidly decent." — Film Threat |
|
| Almost Famous (2000) | |
|
| The Original Kings of Comedy (2000) | " It is Bernie Mac who is the true King of Comedy here, following in the footsteps of Pryor and Murphy before him as he crosses from church-raised testifying, to furious black cultural theorizing, to barely controlled comedic genius." — Film Threat |
|
| I Dreamed of Africa (2000) | " Shockingly boring and stupifyingly umoving." — Film Threat |
|
| Remember the Titans (2000) | " Is perfecting the art of middle-of-the-road really what should be applauded in movie making today?" — Film Threat |
|
| The Pledge (2001) | " Emotionally powerful film of rare and grave subtlety." — Film Threat |
|
| Almost Famous (2000) | " Crudup's performance alone -- startling in its ability to straddle both subtlety and profundity -- is Oscar-talk worthy, and Hudson does a graceful job of personifying the purity of music's muse." — Film Threat |
|
| Bounce (2000) | " Heavy-handed, unbelievable, predictable, and when without Gwenyth, a not very exciting film to find oneself bouncing ultimately boredly through." — Film Threat |
|
| The Family Man (2000) | " Not much more than a contemporary remix of Scrooged, but it's different enough to keep you awake and hipped-up enough to make you like it." — Film Threat |
|
| Traffic (2000) | " Soderbergh's carefully braiding of its diverse stories never wanders into incoherence." — Film Threat |
|
| The Perfect Storm (2000) | " The perfect example, of how the newest visual effects movies have the capacity to overwhelm everything -- from actors to plotlines -- except in the end, maybe, their audiences." — Film Threat |
|
| Saving Grace (2000) | " It's a feel good British movie ideal for gangs of middle-aged, middle-minded women on bored afternoons, and toxically saccharine to anyone else." — Film Threat |
|
| X-Men (2000) | " Somebody, at least, made sure that a movie based on a comic book wasn't a comic book on screen, but instead, thankfully, just a really good movie." — Film Threat |
|
| Tigerland (2000) | " At best, Tigerland is not much more than a low-rated, cable-channel movie-of-the-week that should be channel-surfed right on by." — Film Threat |
|
| Save the Last Dance (2001) | A Teen Dance Movie you don't have to remove your brain or be obsessed with getting-down to actually like. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| State and Main (2000) | Mamet has his work cut out for him by making egotistical stars and exploitative directors seem funnily new. But State and Main engages nonetheless. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| The Family Man (2000) | [The] playfully woven combination of cool comedy and realistic romance provides audiences across the board with one of the few films this season that is likely to entertain almost everyone. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| Miss Congeniality (2000) | Gracie isn't just unattractive outside, she's unattractive on the inside, and the whole point of Makeover Movies is you're supposed to want to identify with Cinderella. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| What Women Want (2000) | It’s as caught up in despising macho men as it is disgusted with modern women. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| Almost Famous (2000) | Through Crowe's William, we ride along in the middle of a movie world more amazingly multi-layered than what we've seen on film in a long, long time. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| Bedazzled (2000) | You can't help but feel a little, when watching Bedazzled, like Fraser and Hurley have sold their talents short in this episodically silly film. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| Billy Elliot (2000) | The thing that makes it all somewhat tolerable is that Billy Elliot maintains a sense of grittiness throughout. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| Cecil B. Demented (2000) | One of the year's best, a whole lotta laughs, and 4-stars all rolled into one. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| Center Stage (2000) | It is so bad, it actually made me realize that life doesn't hold try-outs and I should use my time doing better things than watching Center Stage. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| Coyote Ugly (2000) | Before the opening credits are even done rolling, Coyote Ugly establishes early on how bad it. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| Dinosaur (2000) | Dinosaur does exactly what it should: Take the wee ones on a vicarious trip through an adventure both visually terrifying and emotionally thrilling at the same time. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| Meet the Parents (2000) | Never before have two such skilled actors been so monstrously squandered in a movie so replete with failed gags and pathetic gaffs. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| Men of Honor (2000) | Sort of schlocky sweet in its depiction of what makes the lives of some men better than others. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| Remember the Titans (2000) | It can't help but seem like a somewhat sad day in film when mediocrity starts to look and feel good. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| Saving Grace (2000) | It's a feel-good British movie ideal for gangs of middle-aged, middle-minded women on bored afternoons, and toxically saccharine to anyone else. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| Shaft (2000) | It's a good movie, a competent movie, everything a big summer movie should be with its big star and shoot 'em up scenes and soundtrack that insists you buy it. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| Shanghai Noon (2000) | Sit back and enjoy the laughs, the violence, and the urine jokes. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| Small Time Crooks (2000) | A bit slow, a bit been-done, and the bottom line is that Allen in a pair of shorts these days is a little rough on the eyes. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| The Contender (2000) | Individual performances in The Contender go from good to great. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| The Crew (2000) | Bereft of funny lines or even vaguely plausible plot twists. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| The Exorcist still packs a wallop of terror for those with the strength of stomach for it. — South Florida Sun-Sentinel | |
|
| Viva Rock Vegas is nothing more than eye candy, and not a very tasty piece at that. — TNT's Rough Cut | |
|
| The In Crowd (2000) | A teen screamer with enough implants for the boys and enough bitchiness for the girls to leave its target demographic lusting and screaming happily. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| The Ladies Man (2000) | A total dud. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| The Perfect Storm (2000) | The Perfect Storm makers forgot the best part of a true story is always the true story. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| Writer, Director, and Producer Britt Allcroft should be run over by a fast-moving locomotive. — TNT's Rough Cut | |
|
| What Lies Beneath (2000) | It's some scary fun to watch. — TNT's Rough Cut |
|
| What's Cooking? (2000) | Many of the ingredients in this movie melting-pot quickly become so sweet as to spoil the soup. — TNT's Rough Cut |
