O (2001) |
"It's intense and enjoyable." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato |
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) |
"A giddy merriment blessed with the Coens' skewed signature wit and the year's best soundtrack." |
Jane Sumner |
Splat C |
O Fantasma (2000) |
"It's clear that director Rodrigues has a future as a provocateur. But you may want to decide whether to spend an evening being provoked -- and possibly perplexed. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course." |
Charles Ealy |
Tomato B+ |
Oasis (2004) |
"A loving and lovely film." |
Philip Wuntch |
Splat F |
Observe and Report (2009) |
"Aggressively mean and even more aggressively stupid." |
Christopher Kelly |
Tomato B+ |
Occupation: Dreamland (2005) |
"A compelling mosaic of voices, some discouraged, some enthusiastic, all aware that there's a job to be done and that they must do it to the best of their abilities." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato |
Ocean's Eleven (2001) |
"Vastly superior to the 1960 Rat Pack original, it boasts a well-structured, if engagingly improbable, story line and a glistening cast that performs with brio." |
Philip Wuntch |
Splat C+ |
Ocean's Thirteen (2007) |
"Why put so much sheen on a movie that warrants and provokes nothing more than mild diversion? It's like serving sloppy joes on fine china." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B+ |
Ocean's Twelve (2004) |
"Ocean's Twelve works like a short-term charm. In several years, you won't remember much about the movie except what a good time you had watching it." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato B |
Off the Lip (2004) |
"Ms. Moreau is unquestionably the film's star, combining intelligence with sexuality and humor." |
Charles Ealy |
Tomato A- |
Off the Map (2005) |
"Ms. Ackerman writes graceful dialogue and strong characters, while Mr. Scott, directing his third feature, has an actor-turned-director's regard for both the dialogue and the characterization." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato |
Office Space (1999) |
"Leave your mind-numbing jobs and march to the nearest megaplex." |
Jane Sumner |
Tomato B- |
Old School (2003) |
"While not remotely original in content, Old School tries hard to have something for everyone and succeeds more often than not." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato A- |
Oldboy (2005) |
"Director Park Chanwook forces us to feel Oh Dae-su's pent-up rage and obsession with revenge, making us complicit when he acts out." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B- |
Oliver Twist (2005) |
"The film is worth seeing, but it won't hold a cherished place in your moviegoing memories." |
Philip Wuntch |
Splat |
The Omega Code (1999) |
"After a promising start, Omega Code devolves into chase after chase, cliche after cliche, until you've finally forgotten just what it is that darn old code's supposed to do in the first place." |
Al Brumley |
Tomato B- |
The Omen (2006) |
"It's still an involving story. And the film's well-acted, particularly by Ms. Farrow and Mr. Postlethwaite. Plus, there are two really good scares that'll make you jump out of your seat. That alone was entertaining." |
Mario Tarradell |
Tomato B- |
On A Clear Day (2006) |
"It presses most of the right feel-good buttons." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato B+ |
On Guard (1997) |
"Sometimes, nothing satisfies like old-fashioned swashbuckling. And in this regard, On Guard delivers." |
Doris N. Truong |
Splat |
On the Line (2001) |
"The lack of resonant or even interesting characters is matched by the toothless script and lifeless direction." |
Tom Maurstad |

Tomato A- |
Once (2007) |
"Stripped of just about all artifice and dazzle, shot on the cheap on city streets, this Sundance gem is wiser about artistic creation and the fickle ways of love than any song-and-dance spectacular you've recently encountered." |
Chris Vognar |
Splat |
Once in the Life (2000) |
"A hit-and-miss effort." |
Gary Dowell |
Tomato B- |
Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003) |
"Maverick Robert Rodriguez gets back to his old R-rated tricks, but this time he's more mature, stylish and bloody inventive." |
Jane Sumner |
Splat C |
Once Upon a Time in the Midlands (2003) |
"Though Shirley is supposed to be torn between the passion of her younger days and the tender yet boring Dek, there seems to be little chemistry between her and Jimmy." |
Angela Shah |
Tomato |
The One (2001) |
"A blast of first-rate entertainment." |
Tom Maurstad |
Tomato B+ |
One from the Heart (1982) |
"It still feels like an exercise, but it's a beautiful one." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato A- |
One Hour Photo (2002) |
"With its mixture of chilling suspense and poignant drama, it will shake your nerves and stir your emotions." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato |
One Night at McCool's (2001) |
"With its distinctive voice, the irreverent comedy makes the unsavory seem tasty." |

Tomato 3/5 |
Ong Bak 2 (2009) |
"Ong Bak 2 is really just an excuse for several jaw-dropping set pieces that show off Jaa's killing skills." |
Cary Darling |
Tomato B- |
Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior (2005) |
"Mr. Jaa is a gifted athlete, and there's something to be said for a fighter who dances on heads only for the honor of the Buddha." |
Chris Vognar |
Splat 2/5 |
Opa! (2009) |
"An amiable if easily forgotten story of middle-age romance set amid the sun-splashed Greek Islands." |
Cary Darling |
Tomato B+ |
Open Hearts (2003) |
"It crackles with chemistry that feels both spontaneous and carefully layered, and, like the best Dogma entries, it takes a potentially sudsy premise and lays it bare until all that's left is the humanity." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato C+ |
Open Range (2003) |
"Open Range resembles a graduation ceremonies address. It's long, a tad pompous and sprinkled with occasional kernels of truth." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato B |
Open Season (2006) |
"One of the biggest surprises in this first full-length film from Sony Pictures Animation is how funny Ashton Kutcher is as Elliot." |
Nancy Churnin |
Tomato B+ |
Open Water (2004) |
"It's just two people, some sharks and a whole lot of ocean. Doesn't sound like much, but it proves more than enough to provide a taut, lonesome chill." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato |
The Operator (2001) |
"Except for its excesses and too-easy end, Mr. Dichter's original script takes us into Coen country." |
Jane Sumner |
Tomato |
Orange County (2002) |
"A refreshing change from the usual whoopee-cushion effort aimed at the youth market." |
Jane Sumner |
Splat C- |
The Order (2003) |
"It's a horror movie that isn't frightening and a thriller that isn't thrilling." |
Gary Dowell |
Tomato |
The Original Kings of Comedy (2000) |
"They form a hilarious and even poignant conscience for a brand of black humor much deeper and wiser than what we've seen on screen this year." |
Chris Vognar |
Splat |
Original Sin (2001) |
"If it had more panache, it would tumble into the infamous so-bad-it's-good category, but that's too positive a label for this sad-sack saga." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato B+ |
Osama (2003) |
"A poignant film with stinging images." |
Jane Sumner |
Splat |
Osmosis Jones (2001) |
"This live-action/ cartoon structure is intended to give Osmosis Jones an edgy kick. But instead it proves to be a boat anchor around the comedy's neck." |
Tom Maurstad |
Tomato B+ |
The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) |
"Ms. Johansson fills the screen in her usually quiet but piercing manner." |
Mario Tarradell |
Splat 2/5 |
The Other Man (2009) |
"Everyone seems as if they're going through the motions." |
Cary Darling |
Splat C |
The Other Side of Heaven (2002) |
"There's a disturbing 'Great White Hope' undertone to The Other Side of Heaven that subtly undermines its message of Christian love and compassion." |
Al Brumley |
Tomato B- |
The Other Side of the Bed (2003) |
"It's clever, raunchy and often funny." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B |
The Other Side of the Street (2005) |
"The performances of Ms. Montenegro and Raul Cortez as Camargo light up the screen." |
Mario Tarradell |
Tomato |
The Other Sister (1999) |
"Watchable fun." |
