Splat	In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)	"A magnum dopus so utterly inept that it somehow comes off as perversely admirable. The other two people at Friday's matinee seemed to enjoy it, too."	Andrew Wright
Splat	Rambo (2008)	"Stays on the verge of being a rousing dumbass flick at all times -- you've never seen so many mid-air organs -- yet its combination of outrageous bodily trauma and beagle-eyed moments of reflection never quite makes it go over the top."	Andrew Wright
Splat	Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004)	"Oshii allows the plot to be overwhelmed by a slew of cockamamie musings on the nature of existence that wouldn't float in a late-night dorm room smokeout."	Andrew Wright
Tomato	Buffalo Soldiers (2003)	"May ultimately be a tad too calculated to truly shock, but manages to navigate between bad taste and Sgt. Bilko with skill and infectious glee."	Andrew Wright
Splat	The Company (2003)	"[Altman's] trademarks -- invisible editing, doped-up zooms, overlapping conversations -- are all on display, but those looking for any sense of momentum will be disappointed."	Andrew Wright
Tomato	Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (2003)	"Chock full of stylized exploding chopsocky for the veterans, yet quirky enough for the cautious newbie."	Andrew Wright
Splat	Darkness Falls (2003)	"Provides for more than acceptable campfire fare (although at under 80 minutes, it lasts less than most Duralogs), with occasional moments of genuine visceral fright."	Andrew Wright
Tomato	Good Boy! (2003)	"This high-concept melding of E.T., Dr. Doolittle, and Roots is goofy enough to intrigue."	Andrew Wright
Tomato	The Italian Job (2003)	"Surprisingly gratifying ... In a summer full of computer-generated, nu-metal-accompanied kicks to the midsection, this may be the closest you'll get to drawing room grace."	Andrew Wright
Splat	Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003)	"Occasionally hits heights worthy of its Sergio Leone-inspired title ... but its manic invention exhausts more than enthralls."	Andrew Wright
Tomato	Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over (2003)	"Retains the homemade virtues that made the earlier installments such an un-selfconscious, pleasingly clunky delight."	Andrew Wright
Tomato	Sweet Sixteen (2003)	"Under Loach's deft hand, it feels indisputably real ... An undeniable downer, but hellaciously well acted, brimming with compassion, and relevant in a way that doesn't chafe."	Andrew Wright
Splat	American Gun (2002)	"Coburn is the whole show. Disregard the melodrama, and take it instead as a tone poem documenting the final, wintery ride of an irreplaceably magnificent bastard. "	Andrew Wright
Tomato	On_Line (2002)	"A [reasonably] compelling, refreshingly non-judgmental look at the newest phase of one-handed clapping."	Andrew Wright
Tomato	The Ring (2002)	"Seat-moistening ... shot-by-shot faithful to the original film in many instances, yet fully capable of conjuring up molar-grinding moments of its own invention."	Andrew Wright
Tomato	Russian Ark (2002)	"Its technical bravura is impossible to deny. Even those whose knowledge of Russian history stems mainly from Sympathy For The Devil lyrics will find much to savor here."	Andrew Wright
Tomato	Solaris (2002)	"Many will justifiably find [it] a heady experience akin to 90 minutes of watching paint dry. Others will see that paint forming something close to a masterpiece."	Andrew Wright
Splat	Waking Up in Reno (2002)	"A bushel of yokel gags and labored boudoir misunderstandings ... culminating with a tipping-the-bellhop gag that first appeared in cave paintings."	Andrew Wright
Tomato	The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)	"Town streets stretch wider than eight-lane freeways, gargoyle-faced henchmen lurk behind every tumbleweed, and Ennio Morricone's majestic electric coyote score rules over all."	Andrew Wright
