Naqoyqatsi (2002) |
"Reggio's ever-evolving style in this film doesn't have the same mesmerizing quality as his previous efforts...but nobody makes more accessible non-narrative conceptual cinema." |

Narc (2002) |
"A rogue-cop drama with such robust performances and realistic grit that its flirtation with clichés hardly matters." |

National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002) |
"When Van Wilder sticks to its wits, its comedy is unstoppable. But...there's an equal (amount) of acute unoriginality and beyond-belief bad taste." |

Never Been Kissed (1999) |
"If I see one more high school movie that uses a Literature class Shakespeare lesson as a metaphor for raging hormones and whatever else the screenwriter is trying to put across, I swear I'm going to throttle someone." |
Rob Blackwelder |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Never Die Alone (2004) |
"a haunting, well-written and powerfully acted film, burdened only by its moral impotence and one irrefutably underwritten contrivance: Aruqette's character." |

New Best Friend (2002) |
"...plays like a badly edited, 91-minute trailer (and) the director can't seem to get a coherent rhythm going. In fact, it doesn't even seem like she tried." |

The New Guy (2002) |
"As soon as we've seen Qualls entire comical cool-jerk repertoire, the movie plum runs out of ideas and putters along on fumes until the closing credits." |

Nicholas Nickleby (2002) |
"The characters are largely one-dimensional -- implausibly sweet & naive or absurdly ruthless & cruel without reason -- and they invite second-guessing to a distracting degree." |
