2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) |
"The film relies on kinetic energy as its entertainment hook. There is plenty of action, no doubt, but hardly any of it inventive." |
Michael Drakulich |
|
 |
21 Grams (2003) |
"Inarritu plots the story in a non-linear style that mirrors randomness. He does it so exceptionally well, we almost forget about the film’s deficiencies." |
Michael Drakulich |

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) |
"Even contemporary audiences can't help but laugh at this." |

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) |
"Jim Carrey is at his annoying worst here. His manic, over-the-top style doesn't mesh well with lockerroom humor." |

The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (1990) |
"Funny in a south side of Chicago neighborhood kind of way, but not much more than his stand-up act." |

An American in Paris (1951) |
"Beautifully staged with bright vibrant scenery. It's Kelly at his dancing best." |

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |
"Generally, the film makes good on its humorous potential.

B.A.P.S. (1997) |
"Apallingly bad. Robert Townsend's attempt at satirizing black culture is far off the mark." |
Michael Drakulich |

2/4 |
Bad Company (2002) |
"In this film we at least see a study in contrasts; the wide range of one actor, and the limited range of a comedian." |
Michael Drakulich |
|
|
|
The Barbarian Invasions (2003) |
"Sweet and poignant; perceptive and true." |
Michael Drakulich |

Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2004) |
"The gist of this film can be summed in one short phrase: 'Sorry. My bad.'" |

Catch Me If You Can (2002) |

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004) |
"I hope kids see through this film's slick production value and realize Lindsay Lohan's character is only a shade above contemptible much less worth their admiration." |
Michael Drakulich |
|
|
|
Control Room (2004) |
"Bush and Rumsfeld have called Al-Jazeera "the mouthpiece of Osama Bin-Laden." You might find truth to that statement next to Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction." |
Michael Drakulich |
|
|
|
The Cooler (2003) |
"While everything works on a superficial, plot-driven level with Bernie and Natalie, there is a broader theme at work that adds depth not frequently found in this genre." |

Die Another Day (2002) |
"James Bond movies are like first dates with empty-headed beauty pageant contestants: you get something beautiful to look at but through the course of the evening, you find there is not much depth or substance to match." |

Dreamcatcher (2003) |

Enchanted April (1992) |
"Beautifully filmed and acted with a pleasant, wry sense of humor about it. Mirand Richardson shows why she is one of our greatest living actresses." |

Equilibrium (2002) |
"Equilibrium is what George Orwell might have imagined had today's mood-altering drug therapy been envisioned by chemists in 1949." |
Michael Drakulich |
|
|
|
Far From Heaven (2002) |
"[Todd Haynes] illustrates what could have and should have been by painstakingly reproducing a 1950s look and style and coupling it with social content not discussed openly until years afterward. He envisions a more legitimate genre had it been allowed to" |

Gods and Generals (2003) |
"'We witness a disjointed, unfocused, unwieldy monster with only limited appeal and whose themes have been handled much more succinctly and artistically in previous films.'" |

Grind (2003) |
"Brings Out The Worst Of A Fringe Sport That Fights For Mainstream Acceptance...this Film Fails So Completely In Almost Every Aspect." |

Hotel Rwanda (2004) |
"This was a story that needed to be told because the ethnic war that raged in Rwanda in 1994 is often forgotten by the rest of the world." |

Hulk (2003) |
"Director Ang Lee is to be commended for at least at-tempting to go beyond what could have been an empty special effects bonanza. But the subject of strained child/parent relationships is treated superficially." |

I, Robot (2004) |
"This is jaw-droppingly juvenile and insulting to my intelligence. Perhaps its subject matter is obsolete. Asimov deserved better." |

The In-Laws (2003) |
"If the CIA really did every-thing so openly as one of its operatives does in The In-Laws, it's amazing any of them could stay under cover." |
Michael Drakulich |

2/4 |
The Incredible Hulk (2008) |
"The Hulk is one of Marvel Comics more unsuccessfully developed superheroes. He is more of a scared animal striking out at his tormentors rather than a thinking being that acts with a conscience." |
