Fresh	Fresh 79%	Primary Colors (1998)	" A great cast -- led by a charming Travolta, an effectively steely Emma Thompson and a perfectly foul-mouthed Kathy Bates -- relishes the lines and bites the hand that governs them." Posted Jan 1, 2000

Fresh 3/5	Rotten 53%	Switchblade Sisters (1975)	" Like most things that fall over into the ever expanding trap of 70s revivalism, it's kitsch and it's fun but in a rather restricted way." Posted Jan 1, 2000
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 65%	The Nutty Professor (1996)	" The Klumps is a bit like watching Ali just a couple of years before he called it quits -- occasionally still exciting to be around, but more often than not going through the motions, punching well below par." Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 43%	The Siege (1998)	" The Siege may well be based on a huge 'what if?' premise, but it's smart, taut and knows exactly what the hell it's doing. And it does it well." Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh	Fresh 84%	Wag the Dog (1997)	" Great acting, great filmmaking, half-realised idea -- but nonetheless entertaining." Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 70%	William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet (1996)	" Shakespeare's name fills up the title, but this is clearly Luhrmann's vision and it's a genuinely inventive one." Posted Jan 1, 2000
