| Nightingale in a Music Box (2002) | "
... a taut little mousetrap of a thriller, with more than a nod to the clever plotting of Hitchcock." Posted Jan 26, 2006 |

| Brother Bear (2003) | "
The good news is that this is mostly good old-fashioned hand-drawn Disney animation. The bad news is that it relies too much on old-fashioned formula, hackneyed plot and cookie-cutter characters." Posted Oct 31, 2003 |
