2/4

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

"An iconic film character deserved a better story than this."

Michael Drakulich

Tomato
3/4

Iron Man (2008)

"The visual effects are bound to give you goosebumps and maybe you'll find yourself uttering an audible "whoa.""

Michael Drakulich

Tomato
4/5

Jails, Hospitals, and Hip Hop (2001)

Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life is Calling (1986)

No article available.

Tomato

Kinsey (2004)

"While “Kinsey” will give insight into the man to a whole new audience, director Bill Condon has not quite made him as human as he may have intended."

Michael Drakulich

Tomato
3/5

The Last Good Time (1994)

No article available.

Michael Drakulich

Splat

The Last Samurai (2003)

"Any exhibition of tenderness or subtlety is followed by scenes that are logically inconsistent or go for a tawdry effect"

Michael Drakulich

Tomato
3/5

The Lawnmower Man (1992)

1/5

Live Nude Girls (1995)

No article available.

Tomato

The Magdalene Sisters (2003)

"'It is an unflinching, harsh but engrossing glimpse into what rural Irish families and the Catholic Church did to exterminate sex.'"

Michael Drakulich

Tomato

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)

"This is not Crowe's greatest performance, but could be one of the most likable characters he’ll ever play."

Michael Drakulich

Tomato

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)

"Its akin to a computer network, which is generally easy enough to grasp, but its specifics can become frustrating."

Michael Drakulich

Splat

The Matrix Revolutions (2003)

"It is just another good looking action flick. The ignominious fate of being forgotten amidst all the others in the same genre is not what this franchise deserves. "

Michael Drakulich

Tomato
4/5

The Milagro Beanfield War (1988)

No article available.

Michael Drakulich

Splat

The Missing (2003)

"Had lesser actors been cast in the two lead roles, The Missing could have been no better than an average episode of Bonanza."

Michael Drakulich

Mr. North (1988)

Michael Drakulich

Tomato
3/5

The Name of the Rose (1986)

"Marvelous adaptation of a complex Umberto Eco novel. Christian Slater's first feature role."

Michael Drakulich

Splat

National Treasure (2004)

"This is Bruckheimer’s niche. Don’t ever expect him to adapt a Nicholas Sparks book into a film any time soon."

Michael Drakulich

Splat

Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003)

"'One area Rodriguez has not managed to nail down is telling a compelling narrative.'"

Michael Drakulich

The Passion of the Christ (2004)

"When audiences walk out of theaters in stunned silence, I’m not sure it is for the same reasons director Mel Gibson wanted."

Michael Drakulich

Michael Drakulich

Tomato

The Recruit (2003)

"'What keeps The Recruit from being a waste is good chemistry between Al Pacino and Colin Farrell. It is by no means a great film but not a half bad way to sepnd a couple of hours.'"

Michael Drakulich

Tomato

Seabiscuit (2003)

"Gary Ross' work is skilled and sublime from almost all angles, transcending a sporting drama into a multifaceted film that enthralls and captivates."

Michael Drakulich

Seabiscuit (2003)

"Gary Ross' work is skilled and sublime from almost all angles, transcending a sporting drama into a multifaceted film that enthralls and captivates."

Michael Drakulich

Splat

Secondhand Lions (2003)

"'There is something to be said for reminding audiences of simple truths found amidst complex circumstances. But here, the film becomes a series of hokey contrivances and the simple truth it illustrates is so reductive it is almost insulting.'"

Michael Drakulich

Splat
1.5/4

Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)

"What does that say when a self-admitted narcissist receives such a following? In playing the victim card so often, Sarah Jessica Parker's character is one of the most unlikable characters I've seen in a long time."

Michael Drakulich

Splat
1/5

Sheena (1984)

No article available.

Michael Drakulich

Tomato

Sideways (2004)

"Payne's beautiful command of his content diverts your attention away from the fact it's a typical road movie."

Michael Drakulich

Tomato
4/5

Solaris (1972)

No article available.

Michael Drakulich

Tomato
3.5/4

Solaris (2002)

"Solaris does not reduce the complex dilemma it creates for itself down to a simple set of conditions solved by a simple set of rules."

Tears of the Sun (2003)

"'Tears of the Sun is great PR for United States foreign policy and its military. Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld could not have crafted a more pro-United States script, nor could they have hoped for a more valorous portrayal of its soldiers.'"

WALL-E (2008)

"This film is a real treasure, one that can make you laugh when you are in your worst of moods."

Michael Drakulich

Splat
2/4

Wanted (2008)

"Too ridiculous to be entertaining and too long to keep everyone's attention. If fate were only so virtuous as this film would have us believe."

Michael Drakulich

Splat
1.5/4

You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008)

"Why does Adam Sandler continue to make these comedies that aren't funny? Because your neighbor's 13-year old kid keeps going to see them."

Michael Drakulich
