Animatrix (2003) |
"Far from fleshing out the universe of THE MATRIX, this cynical, self-indulgent marketing tie-in renders it less coherent. Boasts only a few memorable visual moments, and suffers from a paucity of narrative." |

Any Given Sunday (1999) |
"As a sensorial evocation of football, Any Given Sunday acutely captures the bestial working conditions both on and off the field. It fails, however, to tell a compelling or believable story or to provide three-dimensional characters." |
