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

Tomato
3/5

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)

"Even contemporary audiences can't help but laugh at this."

Michael Drakulich

Tomato
5/5

An American in Paris (1951)

"Beautifully staged with bright vibrant scenery. It's Kelly at his dancing best."

Michael Drakulich

Tomato

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)

Michael Drakulich

Tomato

Tomato

Catch Me If You Can (2002)

"It's Spielberg who pulls the con by leading us down a familiar path only to rup the rug out from under us."

Michael Drakulich

Tomato

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

Tomato

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."

Elephant (2003)

"Director Gus Van Sant should be applauded for resisting the temptation to extrapolate the motives of his two central characters and apply them universally."

Michael Drakulich

Tomato
4/5

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."

Michael Drakulich

Tomato

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

Tomato

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"

Michael Drakulich

Tomato

Finding Nemo (2003)

"It was one of those instances where I found myself recounting out loud the funniest moments to someone who just saw the movie with me."

"Fascinating look at the whole culture behind college basketball recruiting. Very well structured and edited."

Michael Drakulich

Tomato

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."

Michael Drakulich

Iron Man (2008)

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

Jails, Hospitals, and Hip Hop (2001)

No article available.

Michael Drakulich

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."

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

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

Schindler's List (1993)

No article available.

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."

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

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
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."

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

Michael Drakulich

Splat

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

Splat
1/5

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."

Michael Drakulich

The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (1990)
