Observe and Report (2009)
"Uneven at best... But say what you will about Hill's sicko, squirmy humor, at least it's distinctive."

Ocean's Eleven (2001)
"It's a giant ice-cream cake of a movie that tickles the pleasure centers of your brain--restoring the good name of large-scale, old-fashioned Hollywood entertainment."
Ocean's Thirteen (2007)
"It's fairly charming, extremely well put-together, and by this time next week I doubt I'll remember even having seen it."
Ocean's Twelve (2004)
"Cluttered and chaotic. The cast coasts on cool, packed in like sardines and elbowing each other for screen time. It's an ice cream headache."
The Office: The Complete First Series (2001)
"One of the most blisteringly funny and exquisitely painful comic creations I've ever seen. "
Oliver Twist (2005)
"...one of Polanski's safest, least distinctive pictures -- just another tasteful run through a story that's already too familiar. Oh well, at least in this one nobody sings."
The Omen (2006)
"As there are no new surprises or twists, The Omen is mainly instructive for comparison's sake --something like a survey of obnoxious modern filmmaking trends."
Once Upon a Time in the Midlands (2003)
"...amusing for about 20 minutes (30 if you're feeling generous). Call it The Good, the Bad and the Middling."
Only the Strong Survive (2003)
"...a grotesque showcase for Fox News gossip columnist Roger Friedman to embarrass himself by fawning all over his aging heroes for an hour and a half."
Open Water (2004)
"A fantastic gimmick - too bad nobody ever bothered to develop it into an actual, like, movie."
The Order (2003)
"...what's interesting is that it happens to be bad in ways that movies haven't bothered with for quite some time."
The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)
"Hey, wait a minute, is the movie supposed to be this funny?"
Owning Mahowny (2003)
"...this human car wreck methodically spins itself out with agonizing inevitability...that the film is also quite funny is an unexpected bonus."
