R-Xmas (2002) |
"Ferrara's best film in years." |
V.A. Musetto |
Tomato 3/4 |
Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) |
"Vividly demonstrates that the director of such Hollywood blockbusters as Patriot Games can still turn out a small, personal film with an emotional wallop." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 1/4 |
Race to Witch Mountain (2009) |
"Bears all the signs of having been composed by an inferior race of alien screenwriters from the Hackulon System." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Rachel Getting Married (2008) |
"Worth celebrating as an overdue return to form by '80s icon Jonathan Demme." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 2/4 |
Racing Stripes (2005) |
"A predictable but pleasant kids movie." |
Russell Scott Smith |
Tomato 3/4 |
Radiant City (2006) |
"Suburban sprawl takes a well-deserved hit in Radiant City, a documentary by Canadian filmmaker Gary Burns and journalist Jim Brown." |
V.A. Musetto |
Splat 1/4 |
Radio (2003) |
"It's hard to say what's more offensive about the out-of-tune Radio -- Cuba Gooding Jr. trying to ingratiate himself by mugging up a storm as a mentally challenged man, or the mawkish narrative surrounding him like so much syrup." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3/4 |
Raging Dove (2001) |
"[A] moving documentary." |
Russell Scott Smith |
Splat 1/4 |
Rails & Ties (2007) |
"The only conceivable reason for Warner Bros. to (barely) release this mush is as a favor to Clint Eastwood, whose daughter Alison directed." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 3/4 |
Rain (2002) |
"Some of the visual flourishes are a little too obvious, but restrained and subtle storytelling, and fine performances make this delicate coming-of-age tale a treat." |
Megan Turner |
Splat 1/4 |
Raise Your Voice (2004) |
"Overlong, blandly soporific movie." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 2/4 |
Raising Helen (2004) |
"Can't decide whether it's a romance, a fish-out- of-water flick, a teen-parent conflict story, or a tale of sibling rivalry and reconciliation, and therefore fails at each." |
Jonathan Foreman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Raising Victor Vargas (2003) |
"What lifts Sollett's film above the run-of-the-mill boy-meets-girl tale is its genuine sweetness and Sollett's ability to effect a striking authenticity." |
Megan Lehmann |
Splat 2/4 |
Raja (2004) |
"Extremely well acted, though the direction by Jacques Doillon is on the leisurely side." |
Lou Lumenick |

Rambo (2008) |
"This time, it's impersonal." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 3/4 |
Rana's Wedding (2002) |
"A small gem." |
V.A. Musetto |
Splat 2/4 |
Random Hearts (1999) |
"Random Hearts is the cinematic equivalent of enduring a cross-country airplane flight trapped in a seat next to a manic depressive." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3/4 |
Rank (2006) |
"It offers both eye-opening rodeo footage and surprisingly interesting tangents about the bulls (some of which are worth up to $150,000) and the fleet-footed bull fighters (formerly known as rodeo clowns)." |
Kyle Smith |
Splat 2/4 |
The Rape Of Europa (2007) |
"The directors (Richard Berge, Bonni Cohen and Nicole Newnham) have their hearts in the right place. But their film is uninspired in style, and Joan Allen's narration is dry." |
V.A. Musetto |
Splat 1/4 |
The Raspberry Reich (2004) |
"The humorless Reich makes for one dull and repetitive skin flick." |
Megan Lehmann |
Splat 2/4 |
Rat Race (2001) |
"Zucker, who's been dabbling in tearjerkers like Ghost for the past decade, is a little rusty." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 4/4 |
Ratatouille (2007) |
"Arguably the finest 'toon in the Pixar canon." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Ray (2004) |
"Jamie Foxx should start clearing some space on his mantle -- his extraordinary, transcendent performance as music legend Ray Charles in the exuberant Ray is the one to beat for Best Actor come Oscar night." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Read My Lips (2002) |
"Read My Lips isn't just scary, charming and delightfully unpredictable - it's also smarter and subtler than any new movie out there." |
Jonathan Foreman |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Reader (2008) |
"'Go to the theater if you want catharsis,' says one character. I was sitting in a theater and I wanted it. It wasn't there." |
Kyle Smith |
Splat 2/4 |
Ready to Rumble (2000) |
"Toilet-humor farce proud of its own crudeness." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Real Cancun (2003) |
"It actually works as a sometimes funny, occasionally scandalous, but mostly involving narrative." |
Megan Lehmann |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Real Women Have Curves (2002) |
"The film has an across-the-board, My Big Fat Greek Wedding-style appeal." |
Megan Turner |
Splat 2/4 |
The Reaping (2007) |
"The film succumbs to the plague of clichés -- things suddenly leaping into the frame, screeching sound effects, and a gag that must have been old by the time Moses hit puberty: Look at this freaky stuff! Oh, it's only a dream." |
Kyle Smith |
Splat .5/4 |
Rebound (2005) |
"Rebound starts off bad, then tapers off." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Reception (2005) |
"Terrifically acted and beautifully shot on digital video...The Reception is in many ways quite an indie accomplishment." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato |
Recess: School's Out (2001) |
"A reasonably entertaining cartoon feature aimed at Baby Boomers and their children." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 2/4 |
The Reckoning (2004) |
"Top-notch cinematography and set design that perfectly capture a hardscrabble medieval milieu, along with artful but sluggish direction by Paul McGuigan, make this a superficially faultless production that somehow lacks juice." |
Megan Lehmann |
Tomato 3/4 |
Reconstruction (2004) |
"Uber-hip technique triumphs over substance in Reconstruction." |
Megan Lehmann |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Recruit (2003) |
"The Recruit may have a storyline as generic as its title, but in the explosive Pacino and the smoldering Farrell, it has a pair of stars who are not as easily dismissed." |
Lou Lumenick |

Red (2008) |
"What makes this movie worth seeing is the acting, which is superb throughout." |
Linda Stasi |
Splat 2/4 |
Red Doors (2005) |
"... the script falls victim to the stereotypes and cliches so often found in movies about Asian-American families." |
V.A. Musetto |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Dragon (2002) |
"Efficient remake." |
Jonathan Foreman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Eye (2005) |
"In short, Red Eye hits the bull's-eye." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Lights (2004) |
"France has produced dozens of Hitchcock- style films since Cahiers du Cinema elevated Hitch to the pantheon nearly five decades ago, but few lately have been as suspenseful and psychologically insightful as Red Lights." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Red Orchestra (2005) |
"Chilling documentary." |

Splat |
Red Planet (2000) |
"Red Planet isn't as bad as the year's first abysmal Martian movie, Mission to Mars, but it's pretty close." |
Jonathan Foreman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Road (2007) |
"Dickie is intense in her screen debut, which requires her to be in nearly every scene. The supporting cast is strong, and Robbie Ryan's handheld camera provides gritty ambiance for this taut thriller." |
V.A. Musetto |
Splat 1/4 |
Red Roses and Petrol (2008) |
"As even a novice moviegoer would expect, they argue and drink, then argue and drink some more." |
V.A. Musetto |
Tomato 3/4 |
Redacted (2007) |
"De Palma is extreme, visceral, usually in bad taste but almost always riveting." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 3/4 |
Redbelt (2008) |
"This isn't Mamet at his finest, though, which leaves us with a script that is merely three times as smart as the average feature." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 3/4 |
Reel Paradise (2005) |
"Many of us movie buffs have fantasized about running our own theater -- but John Pierson (host of IFC's Split Screen) actually got to do it, for a whole year." |
