Rotten 2/4	Rotten 45%	Constantine (2005)	" *It feels like a repackaged version of The Matrix, only less costly and more literal." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews* Posted Feb 16, 2005
Rotten 2.5/4	Rotten 10%	The Wedding Date (2005)	" You may find yourself wishing for something more consequential; just because romantic comedies are supposed to be sweet doesn�t mean they have to dissolve like sugar, too." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Feb 5, 2005
Rotten 1/4	Rotten 1%	Alone in the Dark (2005)	" Less a coherent motion picture than a series of fight scenes and shootouts that feature abysmally unconvincing special effects." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Jan 28, 2005
Rotten 2.5/4	Fresh 61%	Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)	" A familiar, unremarkable shoot-em-up: low on tension, suspense, and plot, and high on bullets, clich�s, and one-liners." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Jan 14, 2005
Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 10%	Elektra (2005)	" Badass action heroine movies are like trendy new cell phone accessories: Suddenly every girl in Hollywood has to have one." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Jan 13, 2005
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 35%	Racing Stripes (2005)	" *One-dimensional storytelling may be necessary for very young viewers, but kids, on the whole, are smarter than Racing Stripes* gives them credit for being.*" — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews* Posted Jan 10, 2005
Fresh 3.5/4	Fresh 77%	A Very Long Engagement (2004)	" *The French version of Cold Mountain, a romance of epic proportions that thinks it�s a war picture." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews* Posted Jan 10, 2005
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 9%	White Noise (2005)	" A scary, empty thriller ... thick with middle-age fantasy but woefully thin on plot." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Jan 4, 2005
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 64%	Coach Carter (2005)	" A strong performance by Samuel L. Jackson enables the film to transcend the mold exploited by other teen sports dramas." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Jan 2, 2005
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 38%	Meet the Fockers (2004)	" *Not nearly as funny as Meet the Parents, and saved only from disaster by Dustin Hoffman and Barbara Streisand." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews* Posted Jan 2, 2005
Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 4%	Darkness (2003)	" Scary in the familiar, intermittent way of a run-of-the-mill thriller." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Jan 2, 2005
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 43%	A Love Song for Bobby Long (2004)	" It deviates from the teen genre enough to suggest that Scarlett Johnasson is more concerned with the lateral boundaries of her range than the vertical ones." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Jan 2, 2005
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 52%	The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004)	" *Not as good as Wes Anderson's two best movies, The Royal Tenenbaums* and Rushmore, but it still offers a broad sample of his distinct style.*" — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews* Posted Jan 2, 2005
Fresh 3.5/4	Fresh 88%	The Aviator (2004)	" *If you want to understand why everyone has such high regard for Martin Scorsese, one good place to start would be with The Aviator." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews* Posted Jan 2, 2005
Fresh 3.5/4	Fresh 91%	Million Dollar Baby (2004)	" *I do not know whether Clint Eastwood has read any Steinbeck, but you would certainly think it from the way that he has filmed Million Dollar Baby." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews* Posted Jan 2, 2005
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 33%	Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004)	" Bland and unremarkable." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Dec 18, 2004

Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 52%	Spanglish (2004)	" Spanglish is a real button-pusher, one of those comedies that operates in narrative shorthand." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Dec 10, 2004
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 92%	Hotel Rwanda (2004)	" Hotel Rwanda is not perfect, but it compels us to be." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Dec 8, 2004
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 56%	Ocean's Twelve (2004)	" *Soderbergh has overcomplicated what made Ocean�s Eleven* worthwhile: the breezy fun of watching a bunch of A-list stars goofing off.*" — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews* Posted Dec 7, 2004
Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 27%	Blade: Trinity (2004)	" *So far from the original Blade, that were it not for Wesley Snipes, you would probably think that it was a spin-off." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews* Posted Dec 3, 2004
Fresh 3.5/4	Fresh 69%	Closer (2004)	" Riveting for the way it effortlessly but relentlessly dials up the tension with the things the characters say." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Dec 3, 2004
Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 5%	Christmas with the Kranks (2004)	" As soggy and unhealthy as a half-baked Christmas cookie." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Nov 26, 2004
Rotten 2.5/4	Fresh 91%	Kinsey (2004)	" A straightforward accounting of a man�s life, neatly sorted out in by-the-book Hollywood fashion." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Nov 24, 2004
Rotten 1/4	Fresh 69%	The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (2004)	" Not the best way to get your feet wet when it comes to the world of the franchise�s frenetically goofy sponge-hero." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Nov 21, 2004
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 97%	Sideways (2004)	" Not just a simple fable but a broad of slice of life, filled with Pinot highs, Merlot lows, and everything in between." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Nov 17, 2004
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 88%	House of Flying Daggers (2004)	" A combination love story and martial arts picture that is as heartfelt as any." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Nov 16, 2004
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 43%	National Treasure (2004)	" *Plays out like The Da Vinci Code* for the American history set.*" — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews* Posted Nov 15, 2004
Rotten 0.5/4	Rotten 31%	Seed of Chucky (2004)	" Seed of Chucky is not like Child�s Play, which is an enjoyably bad movie. There is no fun to be had in this abomination of a sequel." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Nov 13, 2004
Fresh 3.5/4	Rotten 56%	The Polar Express (2004)	" A surprisingly faithful and skilled adaptation of Chris Van Allsburg�s book, a movie that expands the story without diluting it." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Nov 10, 2004
Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 19%	After the Sunset (2004)	" For Brosnan, this marks his latest in a series of unconvincing efforts to distance himself from the James Bond franchise." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Nov 7, 2004
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 82%	Finding Neverland (2004)	" A movie that is not about the characters in it, but rather the power that a bit of imagination has to get them -- and anyone -- through their darkest hours." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Nov 5, 2004
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 97%	The Incredibles (2004)	" Easily Pixar's best-looking movie yet." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Nov 3, 2004
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 82%	Ray (2004)	" Foxx's performance as Ray Charles ... is so outstanding that it makes an otherwise formulaic and somewhat predictable movie very much worth watching." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Nov 2, 2004
Fresh 3.5/4	Fresh 92%	Vera Drake (2004)	" The terrifically honest, emotional, and heartfelt performance given by Imelda Staunton should win over viewers regardless of their opinions on the subject matter." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Oct 27, 2004
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 29%	Around the Bend (2004)	" I�ll put up with the necessary evil of product placement to a certain extent, but I also require a decent narrative. This movie feels like a 90-minute KFC commercial." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Oct 25, 2004
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 39%	The Grudge (2004)	" Has a handful of scares but none that are legitimately earned." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Oct 23, 2004
Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 7%	Surviving Christmas (2004)	" A movie you watch with a half-cringe on your face, waiting to see the lengths to which Affleck will humiliate himself." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Oct 20, 2004
Rotten 2.5/4	Fresh 78%	Team America: World Police (2004)	" Raunchy, offensive, and sometimes hilarious." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Oct 12, 2004
Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 16%	Raise Your Voice (2004)	" Proves with scientific irrefutability one of the movies' few truths: Formulaic, barely-fictional self-discovery movies spruced up with pop tunes will always get bad reviews." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Oct 10, 2004
Rotten 1/4	Rotten 11%	Taxi (2004)	" About 60 or 70 jokes fall flat in this movie, which wouldn�t know comedy if it was written in block letters on the side of the Empire State Building." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Oct 6, 2004
Rotten 2.5/4	Fresh 81%	Friday Night Lights (2004)	" *While Friday Night Lights* has the same earnest intentions as Hoosiers, Miracle, and others, it just doesn�t have the heart.*" — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews* Posted Oct 6, 2004
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 90%	Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry (2004)	" Though it might not swing many votes, it should swing people�s personal opinions of Kerry." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Oct 5, 2004
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 34%	Shark Tale (2004)	" *The biggest loss in Shark Tale* is that it has no pulse. At least Finding Nemo was genuine enough to touch viewers; this movie is simply after their wallets.*" — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews* Posted Sep 30, 2004
Rotten 0.5/4	Rotten 17%	You Got Served (2004)	" A dance party of a movie that is so badly acted and sloppily edited that it frequently borders on incoherency." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Sep 29, 2004
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 15%	Without A Paddle (2004)	" A mildly pleasant comedy that viewers may find more endearing than they expect." — Kinnopio's Movie Reviews Posted Sep 29, 2004
