The Anniversary Party (2001) |
"Feels more like a backyard relaxation than a movie." |
|
Splat |
Antitrust (2001) |
"It's a giggle-fest to watch (and there are a handful of tense moments, to be fair), but there's no getting away from the fact that this film is irreparably infected with weak writing, acting and directing." |
|
Tomato |
Antonia's Line (1995) |
"This is the rare film that does actually succeed in suggesting the experience of a lifetime." |
|
Tomato |
Antonia's Line (1995) |

"There are many things to dislike about Armageddon, from its stunningly straight-faced Charlton Heston introduction to its casual contempt for the Greenpeace activists protesting the drilling of oil wells" |
|
Tomato |
Armageddon (1998) |
"It delivers the thrill-ride twists and turns, exciting but not surprising." |

"The massive panoramas of wild Australia suddenly make Luhrmanns wild flourishes look puny." |
||
Splat |
