Tomato 3/4 |
10 Items or Less (2006) |
"The film is brief, thin and anecdotal. Yet at its heart is a loving look at an artist at work, and that artist is Morgan Freeman." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Splat 1/4 |
10,000 B.C. (2008) |
"The mammoths are cool. The squealing killer ostriches, perhaps inspired by ancient phorusrhacid fossils, are idiotic but... okay, they're idiotic." |

102 Dalmatians (2000) |
"As good as [Close] is, she's simply Cruella revisited." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato 3/4 |

"Overwrought, overlong yet mesmerizing." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato B+ |
13 Going on 30 (2004) |
"A spirited comedy of complications whose derivative plot is bolstered by worthy messages, quaint '80s nostalgia and agreeable mush." |

The 13th Warrior (1999) |
"The film is fascinating to watch, but I can hardly say what it's about, other than people killing each other." |
Jeff Millar |
Splat |
15 Minutes (2001) |
"Ultra-violent, blatantly manipulative and politically reactionary." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato 3/4 |
16 Blocks (2006) |
"Its dialogue is sassy, its plotting is taut (maybe too taut, as key segues are AWOL), but 16 Blocks has more on the brain than mere distraction. It aims to save souls." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
17 Again (2009) |
"I found him a sympathetic, and strangely believable, middle-aged dad." |

2 Days In The Valley (1996) |
"This produces some rather nasty-funny surprises." |
Jeff Millar |
Tomato C+ |
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) |
"Even if you resist recklessness, these car catharses surge with noise, energy and adrenaline." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Splat |
20 Dates (1998) |
"Berkowitz is a rather annoying person." |
Jeff Millar |

2009 Academy-Award Nominated Short Films (2009) |
"Smack in the middle is the best of the five (better than some of the nominees): Jérémy Clapin’s Skhizein, a 14-minute study of a man who’s existentially dislodged by a 150-ton meteorite." |
Amy Biancolli |
Splat 1.5/4 |
2046 (2005) |
"Some directors wouldn't know a true love story if it smacked them in the face like a big sloppy kiss." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato A+ |
21 Grams (2003) |
"Establishes [Inarritu] as a major cinematic force." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato B |
24 Hour Party People (2002) |
"Its wit and sense of fun open it up to people with only a passing interest in the music and the era." |
Eric Harrison |
Splat C+ |
25th Hour (2002) |
"Well-acted but badly miscalculated." |
Eric Harrison |
Splat 2/4 |
27 Dresses (2008) |
"The clichés, like the dresses, sashay in and out of this predictable if nicely fluffy chick-flick composite, which manages to crank out a few decent laughs when it isn't wasting time on a pair of deadly supporting characters." |
Amy Biancolli |
Splat |
28 Days (2000) |
"It's not bad, but it's not very good, either." |
Louis B. Parks |
Tomato A |
28 Days Later (2003) |
"It's a zombie movie to make you forget how boring and simple-minded monster movies have become or, better yet, to make you remember how good monster movies can be." |
Eric Harrison |
Splat 2.5/4 |
28 Weeks Later (2007) |
"Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo hurns out a straightforward cinematic gorefest that's competent and repulsive but not much else." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato 2/4 |
3 Extremes (2005) |
"It has three stories, and each is extreme. Yet even literalism can be an understatement." |
Bruce Westbrook |

3-Iron (2005) |
"Here is where things get murky, intriguingly so." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato 3/4 |
30 Days of Night (2007) |
"Even as stage blood flows like water, this wicked-mean vampire thriller pushes ahead with effective characters, a fantastic visual schema and a terrifying plot." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato 3/4 |
300 (2007) |
"Does the film stay faithful to the Miller and Varley's vision? Indeed it does -- to a kunch!" |
Amy Biancolli |
Splat |
3000 Miles to Graceland (2001) |
"The film borrows lavishly from Oliver Stone's oeuvre, only it borrows the wrong things." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
3:10 to Yuma (2007) |
"The best Western since Unforgiven, 3:10 to Yuma is both cathartic and intelligent. While a wildly eventful action-adventure and outlaw shoot-'em-up, it's also a vibrant story of heroism, villainy and hard-earned redemption." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato 3/4 |
4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008) |
"Proceeding with a blunt and sometimes brutal relentlessness, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days impresses and engrosses as a work of stark, spare naturalism." |
Joe Leydon |
Splat D |
40 Days and 40 Nights (2002) |
"A base guy flick that's clueless about women, relationships and emotion, and even flirts with sacrilege." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005) |
"The whole film is about embarrassment, about those moments of clammy vulnerability when the world just turns and stares." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato B+ |
42 Up (1998) |
"One of the best movie series ever is a true-life drama like no other. Miss it at your peril." |
Louis B. Parks |

50 First Dates (2004) |

8 Mile (2002) |
"8 Mile is entertaining to an extent. Our enjoyment is muted because the movie has an agenda." |

8 Women (2002) |
"8 Women may not plumb the depths of the female psyche, but it's stylish and frivolous in the most profound ways." |
Steven Rea |
Splat 0.5/4 |
88 Minutes (2008) |
"What a bore. I guessed the identity of the killer from the character's second appearance, and I'm not that smart." |
Amy Biancolli |

8MM (1998) |
"Want to know what happens when an A-list director and A-list movie star attach themselves to a direct-to-cable screenplay? This." |
Jeff Millar |
Splat 2/4 |
9 Songs (2005) |
"Witnessing so much heavy breathing with little meaning, we feel like Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate when he asks bored bedmate Ann Bancroft if they can have a conversation first." |
