Splat

O (2001)

"Those looking for a faithful adaptation may find that O is caught, awkwardly, between the twin themes of racism and corrosive jealousy."

Gary Thompson

Tomato

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)

"O Brother may be a long way from Homer -- and The Odyssey. But it travels well."

Jim Nolan

Tomato
B

Observe and Report (2009)

"Director Jody Hill presents all of this as a comedy, somewhere between absurdist and black -- like Napoleon Dynamite meets Martin Scorsese."

Gary Thompson

Tomato

Ocean's Eleven (2001)

"A respectable heist movie."

Gary Thompson

Tomato
B-

Ocean's Thirteen (2007)

"Ocean's Thirteen isn't great, but as third installments go, it's better than Godfather III."

Gary Thompson

Tomato

October Sky (1999)

"Every scene has realistic gravity and an obvious personal touch."

Gary Thompson

Splat

Off the Map (2005)

"The actors are sort of stuck on screen without much of a story to pull the viewer along, and some fare better than others."

Gary Thompson

Splat

Office Space (1999)

"The actors are obviously lost, and most have a hard time breaking through the flat surface that cartoonist Judge has drawn for them."

Gary Thompson

Splat

Old School (2003)

"This is the premise for a really good comedy. Yet to be made, I'm afraid."

Gary Thompson

Splat

Oliver Twist (2005)

"As family fare goes, this makes The Corpse Bride look like Chicken Little."

Gary Thompson

Splat
C

The Omen (2006)

"Schreiber and Stiles are fine actors, but this isn't a fine script, and there is nothing like Peck's campy meltdown to keep us entertained and horrified."

Gary Thompson

Tomato

On the Line (2001)

"The duo come off with an easy, natural charm."

Jonathan Takiff

Tomato

Once (2007)

"Part of the fun of watching Once is that it's unlike other musicals, other movies."

Gary Thompson

Splat

Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003)

"If Once Upon A Time in Mexico is a spaghetti Western, it's Chef Boy-Ar-Dee."

Gary Thompson

Splat

One Night at McCool's (2001)

"The plot's shootings, bludgeonings and bloodshed, in the end, can't be reconciled with the lightweight approach."

Gary Thompson

Splat

On_Line (2002)

"A 90-minute hairy-palm horror show, one that will strike terror into the heart of anyone who shares a keyboard with a lonely, Web-crazed roommate."

Gary Thompson

Splat

Open Range (2003)

"Kevin Costner's new Western is a showdown movie in the mold of High Noon, but because it's Costner, nothing really happens until, like, 3:15."

Gary Thompson

Tomato

Open Season (2006)

"The Guardian is a tribute to the grit and courage and, moreover, the blessed competence of the Coast Guard pilots and rescue swimmers."

Gary Thompson

Splat

Open Water (2004)

"Many will find it excruciatingly suspenseful. I, on the other hand, was on the side of sharks."

Gary Thompson

Tomato

Orange County (2002)

"Smarter than its commercials make it seem."

Gary Thompson

Tomato

The Original Kings of Comedy (2000)

"If you can brave the language, Harvey's ode to Old School music alone is worth the price of admission, and D.L.'s rapid-fire wit will make you laugh in spite of yourself."

Renee Lucas Wayne

Tomato
B

The Orphanage (2007)

Gary Thompson

Tomato

Osama (2003)

"A stark reminder of what is at stake in Afghanistan, apart from the capture or killing of terrorists."

Gary Thompson

Splat

Osmosis Jones (2001)

"Osmosis is the sort of, uh, fluid entertainment best suited to boys 10 and under, most likely to enjoy the moment when, for instance, Frank's huge throbbing whitehead explodes and lands on the lip of Molly Shannon."

Gary Thompson

Splat
C

The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)

"It might help if more effort had been made to make Henry an interesting character (history indicated that he was), but Bana is all costume."

Gary Thompson

Splat

The Other Sister (1999)

"Grotesquely sentimental, shamelessly manipulative and fundamentally bad."

Gary Thompson

Tomato

The Others (2001)

"The movie has a scary/seductive visual allure, and the mystery of the invisible boy gains power as Amenabar allows it to deepen, ever so slightly, from scene to scene."

Gary Thompson

Tomato

Out of Time (2003)

"Can you see the ending coming a mile way? Sure you can. But in this case, getting there is way more than half the fun."

Gary Thompson

Splat
C

Outlander (2009)

"Kudos are in order for the entire cast, which recites the corny dialogue, and never once turns a glowing red."

Gary Thompson

Tomato
B

Outrage (2009)

"These polemics have a kind of natural charge to them, but there are glimpses in the movie of something more complex and in a way more interesting - the way closet psychology mixes with political ambition to create a fascinating hybrid of warring desires."

Gary Thompson

Splat
C

Over Her Dead Body (2008)

"This all plays out pleasantly, predictably, unmemorably, but what do I know? I'm a guy. My mind was probably elsewhere."

Gary Thompson

Tomato

Over the Hedge (2006)

"There is lots here to keep younger children entertained and occasionally delighted."

Gary Thompson
