O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) |
"The filmmakers' trademark quirkiness is in evidence, but it often feels forced and the comedic elements are inconsistent." |

Observe and Report (2009) |
"It falls short of brilliant but it's a lot more daring than what passes for 'dark comedy' these days, and it reminds us that 'feel bad' comedies may not always be as funny as 'feel good' ones but, when they work, they can ultimately be more satisfying." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ocean's Eleven (2001) |
"There's a world of difference between an accomplished popcorn movie like this one and one that's oversalted." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ocean's Thirteen (2007) |
"Ocean's Thirteen is the first sequel of the summer of 2007 not to fall on its face. The film is better paced and more involving than Ocean's Twelve but perhaps not as well executed as Ocean's Eleven." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ocean's Twelve (2004) |
"Pleasantness and affability reign supreme in Steven Soderbergh's sequel to the remake of Ocean's Eleven." |

October Sky (1999) |
"Believable, subtle, and consistently intelligent!" |

Octopussy (1983) |
"There's a fine line between wit and absurdity, and this particular movie too often falls on the wrong side." |

Off the Black (2006) |
"The story's lack of freshness is partially counterbalanced by solid acting and effective character development but, in the end, Off the Black fails to leave an impact." |

Office Space (1999) |

Old Dogs (2009) |
"There are some experiences no one should be subjected to even in the name of science. It may be that forced viewing of this film has been outlawed by the Geneva Convention." |

Old School (2003) |
"In an era when a viewer is lucky to find one or two humorous moments during the course of a 90-minute so-called 'comedy,' Old School delivers with surprising effectiveness." |

Oldboy (2005) |

Oliver Twist (2005) |
"Technically sound and surprisingly faithful to its source material, Roman Polanski's version of Oliver Twist comes across as uninspired and flat." |

The Omen (2006) |
"It's hard to imagine college age movie goers being attracted by such a passé premise. And fans of the original will end up doing shot-by-shot comparisons. On every level, The Omen isn't just bad filmmaking, it's bad storytelling." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2/4 |
On Deadly Ground (1993) |
"The less said about Joan Chen, the better. To say that her talents are wasted is to understate the matter." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) |
"Even featuring an inferior 007, On Her Majesty's Secret Service is a landmark change-of-pace, and an exhilarating and affecting piece of entertainment." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 1.5/4 |
On the Line (2001) |
"Like all trifles that use unbearable amounts of saccharine to cover up poor quality, this one leaves a bad aftertaste." |

On the Waterfront (1954) |
"One of the best acted efforts to come out of Hollywood during the 1950s." |

Once (2007) |
"It deserves to be seen and offers more real human emotion than most of the year's would be box office busters." |

Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003) |
"A mess of a movie that nevertheless entertains because each individual piece stands high enough on its own merits that it's not necessary to look hard at the nonsensical linking material." |

Once Were Warriors (1995) |
"Works, to some degree, on three levels: the visceral, the emotional, and the intellectual, and it is the amalgamation of these that makes this a memorable film." |

One Missed Call (2008) |
"The worst part about this movie is that, even though it's impossible to piece everything together logically, it's easy to see where it's going because there's nothing new here. There's a sameness to all these Japanese-turned-American retreads." |

Only the Strong (1993) |
"I expected it to be an obligatory late-summer, mindless, plotless action film. I was wrong. It's a late-summer, mindless, plotless action film with a message. I think I prefer this sorts of film when it doesn't try to preach." |

Open Water (2004) |
"Despite its flaws, I welcome Open Water with great enthusiasm, because it offers genuine scares and chills without the self-aware, packaged feel of many horror/thriller films." |

Open Your Eyes (1997) |
"While it will not get the kind of wide release necessary to make a big splash in this country, those who see it will not quickly forget the experience." |

Operation Condor (1990) |
"Fortunately, Chan is so enjoyable that, even though the plots and characters vary from recycled to irrelevant, mediocre films like Operation Condor still feature bursts of undeniable entertainment." |

"This may not be the most slickly-produced or original motion picture of the year, but it has a great deal more bite than most films that place themselves in the same genre." |
