Tomato
5/5

O Lucky Man! (1973)

"Rich, densely layered, disturbing, unique and strangely satisfying in a way few films ever have been."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

O. Henry's Full House (1952)

"As with all such films, the interest level is entirely dependent on the individual stories -- and four of the five are very good indeed"

Ken Hanke

Splat
0/5

The Oblong Box (1969)

"Dreadful, slow, boring beyond words."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

Obsessed (2009)

"I don't mind that Obsessed, is mindless, overheated, undercooked trash. I mind that it's boring mindless, overheated, undercooked trash."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Obsession (1976)

"DePalma as he starts spiralling into sub-Hitchcock."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Ocean's Thirteen (2007)

"In a summer where every intended blockbuster has so far been the third in a series it's a relief to note that the fourth third to come along is the best of the lot."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

The Odessa File (1974)

"Genuinely effective thriller."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Of Mice and Men (1939)

"Inventive filming of the Steinbeck novel with a classic performance by Chaney"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

The Official Story (1985)

"An almost textbook example of how to use a personal story to tell and illuminate a much larger one (are you listening, Oliver Stone?)."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

The Ogre (1996)

"Haunting as the film is, it never feels quite cohesive."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Oh! What a Lovely War (1969)

"Remains the most interesting and daring film Attenborough ever made."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

The Old Dark House (1932)

"James Whale at his best. Not a false moment."

Ken Hanke

Splat
.5/5

Old Dogs (2009)

"Old Dogs is -- quite simply -- the nadir of filmmaking."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

The Old Man and the Sea (1958)

"Tracy with a hokey accent floats in a studio tank for what seems like forever."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

Old School (2003)

"I'll take a tip from Steely Dan -- I'm never going back to this Old School, but it certainly makes me ever so anxious for the director's threatened big-screen version of Starsky and Hutch."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Oliver Twist (1948)

"The ultimate version of the Dickens novel."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Oliver Twist (2005)

"The sad thing is that this really is a very fine film. Yet, at the end of the day, it's still Oliver Twist. "

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Oliver! (1968)

"As big-budget adaptations Broadway shows go, this is one of the best."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

Oliver's Story (1978)

"Was this necessary?"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

The Omega Man (1971)

"So-so last man on earth flick that looks pretty quaint today."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

The Omen (1976)

"Over-produced, unintentionally funny horror film"

Ken Hanke

Splat
3/5

The Omen (2006)

"The Xerox approach to the story causes it to add up to a huge 'So what?' by the film's end. "

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Omnibus Song of Summer (1968)

"A richly rewarding work with a quiet intensity that recalls the films of Ingmar Bergman."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)

"Best of the Bonds, thanks in no small part to Diana Rigg."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

On the Beach (1959)

"Typically overlong Kramer film, but still with some power."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

On the Beat (1962)

"Norman Wisdom was sort of England's Jerry Lewis. That says it all"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

On the Town (1949)

"Overrrated musical with pleasing moments."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

Once (2007)

"While Once doesn't really reinvent anything, it is a marvelous addition to the short list of genuinely good rock musicals."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003)

"A gloriously overproduced B movie -- loud, fast, gorgeously shot, brimming with bright pop-art colors. It's also deliberately and defiantly absurd -- not in the least because it's ultimately a Spy Kids movie for adults."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

Once Upon a Time in the Midlands (2003)

"Clever and generally successful attempt to present a British domestic drama with comedic overtones, all in the style of a Sergio Leone western."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

One Crazy Summer (1986)

"As teen comedies go, it's not awful"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

"My basic quibble with the film is that it's part and parcel of the movies' unfortunate tendency to romanticize mental illness."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

One Hour Photo (2002)

"It's a powerful movie that has a genuinely unsettling universal relevance for about 90 percent of its length."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

One Million B.C. (1940)

"Not great and it never was, but it's interesting."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

One Million Years B.C. (1966)

No article available.

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

One Missed Call (2008)

"It's always a relief to see Edward Burns in anything he didn't write or direct himself. But just realize: This is the first big release of 2008."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

One, Two, Three (1961)

"Billy Wilder's funniest film."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Only Angels Have Wings (1939)

"Possibly Hawks' best film -- a bold statement."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Only the Lonely (1991)

"Surprisingly pleasant, moving comedy from Chris Columbus."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Only Two Can Play (1962)

"Splendid early Sellers vehicle with great performances across the board."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Open City (1945)

"The true "realism" comes from within the film and from the sense of artists banded together to make something because they had something to say."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

Open Range (2003)

"Costner has not only salvaged his own career with Open Range, but just may have done for the Western what Moulin Rouge! and Chicago did for the musical."

Ken Hanke

Splat
3/5

Open Season (2006)

"The film isn't painfully bad, and on occasion it's almost strange enough to pass muster on that score alone."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

Open Water (2004)

"The Blair Shark Project is supposedly 'based on actual events' – which proves the Quentin Crisp dictum that 'even the worst movie is at least better than real life.'"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Open Your Eyes (1997)

"The original of Vanilla Sky -- more subtle, but not as much fun."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Opera (1991)

"Stylish, but inane and sadistic Argento thriller."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Operation Petticoat (1959)

"Splendid, if a little long, service comedy from Edwards."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

The Order (2003)

"Most bad horror movies at least offer the compensation of being unconsciously funny. The Order just makes you wish you were unconscious."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Orlando (1993)

"A daring, daunting, playful work of some considerable intellectual force that just misses greatness owing to a lack of emotional weight."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1.5/5

Orphan (2009)

"As the poster says, 'There's something wrong with Esther.' There certainly is -- she's trapped in this terminally dull and dimwitted movie."

Ken Hanke
