Rails & Ties (2007) |
|||
Tomato |
Raise the Red Lantern (1991) |
"A near-perfect movie that often recalls the visual purity and intensity of silent films." |
|
Tomato |
Ran (1985) |
"It has become a cliche to call Kurosawa the world's greatest living filmmaker." |
|
Splat |
Random Hearts (1999) |
"Enormously boring." |
|
Tomato |
Ratcatcher (2000) |
"The bleakness of the material ought to make Ratcatcher a depressing experience, yet Ramsay's power as an image-crafter transforms this grim universe." |
|
Splat |
Ready to Rumble (2000) |
"Comic virtues linger in the memory a little longer than the farcical brutality of this pandering noisefest. Not that that's a significant victory." |
|
Tomato |
Rear Window (1954) |
"Although it's an intensely intimate film, there's something special about taking your seat in the theater as though you're pulling up right next to L.B. Jefferies (James Stewart)." |
|
Tomato |
Recess: School's Out (2001) |
"An amusing little cartoon for graduates of Rugrats territory." |
|
Tomato |
Red (1994) |
"What makes Red watchable is Kieslowski's arresting visual sense." |
|
Splat |
Red Planet (2000) |
"Despite the persuasive scenery, director Antony Hoffman can't figure out a way to build scenes, or momentum, or much of anything." |
|
Splat |
Reindeer Games (2000) |
"It just vanishes from between your ears like cotton-candy in a tropical rainstorm, leaving nothing but a slightly sickly aftertaste." |
|
Tomato |
Reindeer Games (2000) |
"Frankenheimer does make Reindeer Games a bigger experience than it might have been in anyone else's hands." |
|
Religulous (2008) |
|||
Splat |
Remember the Titans (2000) |
"I didn't believe the movie, or my tears, for a second." |
|
Tomato |
Remember the Titans (2000) |
"Startlingly resonant yet unabashedly entertaining." |
|
Splat |
The Replacements (2000) |
"The Replacements, as with just about everything else coming out of Hollywood, merely reconfigures the same predictable gross-out jokes, sentimental platitudes, and decorative sex that figure into half the screenplays in circulation." |
|
Splat |
Requiem for a Dream (2000) |
"[Aronofsky] shoots himself in the foot repeatedly." |
|
Tomato |
Requiem for a Dream (2000) |
"This is like no other film you've ever seen." |
|
Rescue Dawn (2007) |
|||
Tomato |
Reservoir Dogs (1992) |
"It's extremely well-acted, written with flair and directed by a 29-year-old first-timer, Quentin Tarantino, who always knows where to put the camera, when to cut to a flashback and how to draw the best work from his brilliant cast." |
|
Tomato |
Return of the Jedi (1983) |
"A mediocre Star Wars is better than no Star Wars at all." |
|
Splat |
Return to Me (2000) |
"Duchovny is surprisingly out-of-joint with the romantic atmosphere." |
|
Revolutionary Road (2008) |
|||
Tomato |
Ride with the Devil (1999) |
"Ang Lee is amazing." |
|
The Road (2009) |
|||
Tomato |
The Road to El Dorado (2000) |
"[Kline's and Branagh's] shared timing is so good it whets the appetite for further adventures." |
|
Splat |
The Road to El Dorado (2000) |
"For a movie about 'discovering' the New World, The Road to El Dorado covers a lot of familiar territory." |
|
Splat |
Road Trip (2000) |
"As objectionable as its subject matter is, the most objectionable thing is that it's not funny." |
|
Roman de Gare (2008) |
|||
Romance & Cigarettes (2007) |
|||
Tomato |
Romeo Must Die (2000) |
"Romeo Must Die scores when it concentrates on Li's fast footwork and flying fists." |
|
Splat |
"For all its bright moments, 91 minutes turns out to be more than this joke can sustain." |
||
Tomato |
"Isn't so much a movie as an overly long pilot episode of some new "Must See TV'' sitcom." |
||
Tomato |
Ronin (1998) |
"A cunning spy thriller!" |
|
Splat |
Rugrats in Paris (2000) |
"Watching Rugrats In Paris ... I am forced to ask myself exactly what range of kids this kiddie movie is actually being pitched at." |
|
Tomato |
Rules of Engagement (2000) |
"What rescues the movie, time and again, is the strength of Jones' and Jackson's performances ... and the capable direction of William Friedkin." |
|
Splat |
Rules of Engagement (2000) |
"Nothing can redeem this film's deep immorality." |
|
Tomato |
Rumble in the Bronx (1996) |
"Awe-inspiring." |
|
Tomato |
Rumble in the Bronx (1996) |
"As the star cheerfully camouflages massive bandages on a twisted ankle, we also get a glimpse of just how far Chan is willing to go to please his audience." |
|
Tomato |
Rumble in the Bronx (1996) |
"Chan, doing everything at once including all his own stunts, has an infectious energy that will help to remind you why you love movies." |
|
Tomato |
Rumble in the Bronx (1996) |
"The fun of Rumble in the Bronx is watching Chan build up one inventive and off-the-wall action scene after another." |
|
Tomato |
Rumble in the Bronx (1996) |
"The very medium of the moving picture exists to create the suspension of disbelief, and there is no greater live performer than Chan to make us believe you can beat up a street gang with a linen jacket and refrigerators." |
|
Tomato |
Run Lola Run (1999) |
"Run Lola Run's power isn't in celebrating the giddy mixture of testosterone, drugs and new youth culture (i.e., electronica), but in taking the oldest of questions..." |
|
Tomato |
Run Lola Run (1999) |
"Run Lola Run is the feverish, wish-fulfillment embodiment of everyone's unspoken dream..." |
|
Splat |
Run Lola Run (1999) |
"In fact, it turns out, not surprisingly, that it is boring to watch someone run for 87 minutes..." |
|
Splat |
Runaway Bride (1999) |
"Runaway Bride is an atrocious bit of by-the-numbers screen filler." |
|
Splat |
Runaway Bride (1999) |
"It looks as if Julia and the horse were trying to get the hell away from the camera, and into a better movie." |
|
Splat |
Runaway Bride (1999) |
"Safe and sane and bland." |
|
Splat |
Rush Hour (1998) |
"So why is that when Chan makes a real Hollywood movie the results are so disappointing?" |
