O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)

"Until now, the Coen brothers' movies have been condescending but clever, smirky but clever, heartless but clever, vague but at least vaguely clever. O Brother, Where Art Thou? has all of those ingredients except cleverness."

Ocean's Eleven (2001)

"Soderbergh and Griffin work some new comic scenes into the story, though they lay the yuks on thickly."

October Sky (1999)

"As rewarding and uplifting as pictures from half a century ago!"

Office Space (1999)

"Lazy, loosely connected."

One Hour Photo (2002)

"Though the writing isn't always specific, Williams is. He differentiates between the murderer in Insomnia, who wants a cop to understand his motives, and Sy, who realizes no one ever could."

Open Range (2003)

"With actors less sure than Duvall and Bening alongside him, Costner's old-fashioned Western would collapse. With them in the saddles, it rides into the sunset in high style."

Open Your Eyes (1997)

"Confirmed my suspicion that Alejandro Amenábar may be the most promising filmmaker under 30."

The Original Kings of Comedy (2000)

"The show has class."

Osmosis Jones (2001)

"When we're outside Frank's body, Osmosis Jones drags. When we're inside him, it zooms."

The Other Sister (1999)

"It pirouettes past problems, exuberantly celebrating two folks who fall in love."

Out of Time (2003)

"Except for Sanaa Lathan, who sears the screen in a brief appearance, director Carl Franklin and his cast seem to realize they're making a second-tier thriller."
