| Rating | T-Meter | Title | Year | Add Date (default) |
|---|---|---|---|
|
| 200 Cigarettes (1999) | You should be able to quash this one with no cravings to ever pick it up again. |
|
| 8MM (1998) | Has none of the mystery or suspense that helped Seven rise above the filth in which it sought to wallow. |
|
| A Bug's Life (1998) | Even more fun than Antz! |
|
| American Psycho (2000) | |
|
| Analyze This (1998) | " Director Harold Ramis keeps the gangsters real and funny at the same time." |
|
| Antz (1998) | Antz crawling with detail, humor, Woody Allen style. |
|
| Apt Pupil (1998) | A tense, psychological study of evil! |
|
| The sequel is funnier than the original because it has more silliness, more smut and more 'yeah, babies.' | |
|
| Babe: Pig in the City (1998) | Even more fun than the original! |
|
| Beloved (1998) | Like a great book, Beloved builds up, through accretion of detail, so much information and revelation that we begin to live the lives with these people. |
|
| Big Daddy (1999) | Big Daddy is surprisingly sentimental and consistently amusing. |
|
| Cruel Intentions (1999) | As a serious study of vapid youth, Cruel Intentions vacillates between the cynically pretentious and the shallowly silly. |
|
| Enemy of the State (1998) | One shaky mess! |
|
| Entrapment (1999) | The movie deflates early and sags from there! |
|
| Go (1999) | A slick, comical counterculture trip! |
|
| Goodbye Lover (1999) | |
|
| Hilary and Jackie (1998) | |
|
| I'll Be Home For Christmas (1998) | |
|
| Instinct (1999) | " Gooding hurts the film more than his energetic presence helps it!" |
|
| Jack Frost (1998) | |
|
| Life (1999) | |
|
| Lost & Found (1999) | |
|
| Never Been Kissed (1999) | A comedy of humiliation that mistakes bathos for humor. |
|
| Notting Hill (1999) | Witty, sweet and genuine! |
|
| October Sky (1999) | A must-see for every student, parent and teacher in the country! |
|
| Office Space (1999) | So much dull non-humor. |
|
| One True Thing (1998) | Streep's performance makes the movie worth seeing. |
|
| Patch Adams (1998) | If I were the real Patch Adams, I'd sue for malpractice! |
|
| Payback (1999) | It's a good, strong shot for fans who like their crime stories rough and no-nonsense. |
|
| Pleasantville (1998) | Picks up where Truman Show left off! |
|
| Practical Magic (1998) | What a disappointing mess made from such a promising premise! |
|
| Psycho (1998) | A lot less scary! |
|
| Pushing Tin (1999) | It plays like a magazine article: some interesting facts, no drama. Not many laughs either, in case director Mike Newell thought he was making a comedy. |
|
| Rush Hour (1998) | What a lousy movie! |
|
| Soldier (1998) | " Soldier is so mediocre, it might have been more mindless fun if it had been even worse." |
|
| " Delivers exactly what every kid of any age wants: wows. And plenty of them!" | |
|
| Tarzan (1999) | The movie itself is filled with more fun than any Tarzan film in decades. |
|
| The 13th Floor (1999) | |
|
| The Corruptor (1999) | You probably can't blame Chow for The Corruptor. No way he could outmaneuver the director and the writers. The only thing in The Corruptor more catastrophic than the car chases is the script. |
|
| The General's Daughter (1999) | " The sleaziest movie of the year is The General's Daughter!" |
|
| The Matrix (1999) | The Matrix flings around enough imaginative ideas and digitized bodies to make it a definite check-out-this-one for all science-fiction fans. |
|
| The Mummy (1999) | Spectacle, rowdy adventure and supernatural horror all crammed into a raucous two hours of high-testosterone special-effects filmmaking! |
|
| The Other Sister (1999) | The charming innocence in this unusual take on first love and first heartbreak gives THE OTHER SISTER its special quality. |
|
| The Prince of Egypt (1998) | This animated Bible story raises the level of film artistry to new heights! |
|
| The Thin Red Line (1998) | Although Malick hasn't made a movie in two decades, he hasn't lost his touch for eye-catching vistas and the poetics of conflict. |
|
| The Waterboy (1998) | It's definitely for the fans! |
|
| What Dreams May Come (1998) | Here's what's wrong with giant movie screens: You can fill them with extreme close-ups of Robin Williams' face! |
|
| You've Got Mail (1998) | The movie grows on you until you don't want to leave it. |
