|---|---|---|---|
|
| Black Snake Moan (2007) | " Ricci has guts. Nonetheless, Black Snake Moan turned my stomach." |
|
| The Passion of the Christ (2004) | |
|
| High Fidelity (2000) | Smart and in the end feel-good, it's more an evening with a talented club band than the full-out stadium show. |
|
| Anna and the King (1999) | More well-intended than it is entertaining. |
|
| Bicentennial Man (1999) | It's the Tin Man without much brain. |
|
| Chill Factor (1999) | Chill Factor is just the kind of failed action picture one expects to see during these final days of August. |
|
| Deep Blue Sea (1999) | Here finally is the big, loud, jump-a-minute summer movie everyone's been craving! |
|
| Dinosaur (2000) | A quick blast. |
|
| End of Days (1999) | Let us be sustained by the knowledge that in just 38 more days, all this millennium nonsense will be over. |
|
| Gladiator (2000) | A clever cast. |
|
| Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) | That's how long it ought to last in theaters -- unless there's a hidden audience out there for formulaic movies with hack scripts. |
|
| Here on Earth (2000) | After weathering the movie's mood swings and enduring its overwrought ending, you'll be begging for satire on bended knees. |
|
| Jakob the Liar (1999) | Plays dangerously close to Hogan's Heroes goes to Auschwitz. |
|
| Mission to Mars (2000) | They don't waste words in the space program, and I won't waste any more here. Let's call this one mission: improbable. |
|
| Mission: Impossible II (2000) | Entertaining in its own wacky way. |
|
| Movies like this make me cringe. | |
|
| Romeo Must Die (2000) | To say [Li's] acting is 'wooden' would be kind. |
|
| Rounders (1998) | The acting is crisp, and Dahl knows how to pace a movie and make it look good. |
|
| Scream 3 (2000) | What we are witnessing here is a rather perfunctory conclusion to what was once an inspired burst of creativity. |
|
| The lack of emotion is glaring! | |
|
| The 13th Floor (1999) | Never has a film deteriorated so abruptly and so completely. |
|
| The new Flintstones movie is bad. Prehistorically bad. Neolithically bad. Bad enough that you should take your youngsters and run in the opposite direction to My Dog Skip. | |
|
| The Ninth Gate (1999) | The movie is so crisply done, with such class, that it keeps you engrossed. |
|
| The Road to El Dorado (2000) | Road to El Dorado has some nicely done visuals. |
|
| Timecode (2000) | Time Code isn't so much a movie as an experiment in digital filmmaking, and one likely to induce nausea or migraines in the viewer. |
|
| What Dreams May Come (1998) | "What Dreams May Come" is a like an abstract painting, full of vivid brushstrokes that hint at deeper meaning. |
|
| What Planet Are You From? (2000) | It gives new meaning to the overused adage that men are from Mars, women are from Venus. |
|
| Where the Heart Is (2000) | A heartwarming and sometimes inspirational couple of hours. |
