Observe and Report (2009) |
"[A] startling portrait of knee-jerk ignorance, obliviousness, and mean-spiritedness... Rogen's wholehearted devotion to the character imbues him with a solid reality, if a miserable one..." |
MaryAnn Johanson |
Splat |
Obsessed (2009) |
"This is one of those impossible horror movies, like the kind about giant radioactive ants or invading aliens who want to steal our water. Lisa is just a crazy psychotic bitch..." |
MaryAnn Johanson |
Tomato |
Ocean's Eleven (2001) |
"Cinematic junk food of the highest, tastiest order." |
MaryAnn Johanson |
Tomato |
Ocean's Thirteen (2007) |
"Just so you know -- because this is important when you're talking to fans of George Clooney's charming thief Danny Ocean -- it's an hour and 15 minutes into Ocean's Thirteen before he appears in a tux." |

Ocean's Twelve (2004) |

Odyssey 5 - The Complete Series (2002) |
"It might be the best show that ever got cancelled before it had finished what it had come to do, a science fiction drama that's smart, gritty, and -- the toughest thing for TV SF to accomplish -- original." |
MaryAnn Johanson |
Tomato |
Off the Black (2006) |
"[S]mart, bone-dry, but ultimately distant indie..." |
MaryAnn Johanson |
Tomato |
Off the Map (2005) |
"I never wanted it to end, wanted to just crawl into the warm, comfortable lap of the movie and stay there forever." |

The Office - Season One (2005) |
"[C]an barely satirize an everyday environment already so absurd it beggars belief. As such, the humor tends to the obvious..." |

Office Space (1999) |
"You can check your brain at the door and still get a good laugh from Office Space, or you can hold on to your brain and get an even better laugh." |

Oliver Twist (1999) |
"[P]lumb[s] surprising depths of humor and irony..." |

Oliver Twist (2005) |
"Polanski seems so intent on... a grimly elegant big picture that... he misses the people. Oops, except for Ben Kingsley as Fagin, whom he lets run embarrassingly wild." |
MaryAnn Johanson |
Tomato 9/10 |
Oliver! (1968) |
"Lionel Bart's tunes are highly hummable, and the huge production numbers feature lots of fabulous choreography." |
MaryAnn Johanson |
Splat 3/10 |
The Omega Code (1999) |
"The Omega Code has some of the funniest bits I've seen in a film in a long time, and they're all due to the shocking incompetence of Van Dien as an actor." |
MaryAnn Johanson |
Tomato |
The Omen (1976) |
"Preposterous, sure. But as Apocalyptic religious fantasy, it's far more chills-inducing than, say, the hilariously earnest The Omega Code or even the convoluted and incomprehensible source material itself." |
MaryAnn Johanson |
Tomato |
The Omen (2006) |
"[A]wesome... pure movie-geek goofiness..." |
MaryAnn Johanson |

On A Clear Day (2006) |

MaryAnn Johanson |
Splat |
On the Line (2001) |
"On the Line could have had a future as a gay camp favorite if only it had tried a bit harder. But On the Line isn’t even so bad it’s funny, like Glitter. It’s just bad." |

Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003) |
"Rodriguez... makes it easy for Depp, giving his inadvertent star a cluttered mess amidst which to be totally centered and in control." |

Ong Bak 2 (2009) |

"[S]uspenseful, refreshingly clean and simple, with a hard edge of realism that is quietly horrifying..." |
MaryAnn Johanson |
Tomato |
Open Window (2005) |
"[A]voids all the overblown histrionics of other similar films that have dealt with such subject matter... and finds the quiet but difficult core of the act of will that is survival and recovery." |
