Tomato 5/5 |
"Hi-larious. Shame about the sequels." |
||
Narc (2002) |
"Narc can only remind us of brilliant crime dramas without becoming one itself." |
||
NASCAR: The Imax Experience (2004) |
|||
Splat 2/5 |
"There never, ever should've been more than one of these movies." |
||
Splat |
"Merely labeling National Lampoon's Van Wilder 'sophomoric' or 'vulgar' doesn't do justice to the perpetrators' dedication." |
||
Neil Young - Greendale (2004) |
"It's impossible not to feel involved on a fundamental level." |
||
Splat |
Never Again (2002) |
"Never Again, while nothing special, is pleasant, diverting and modest -- definitely a step in the right direction." |
|
Never Die Alone (2004) |
|||
Tomato 3/5 |
The Neverending Story (1984) |
"An enjoyable departure from both Das Boot and Kajagoogoo." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
The Neverending Story (1984) |
"Nowhere near as good as the book, but not bad for the kids." |
|
Splat |
New Best Friend (2002) |
"It's never a good sign when a film's star spends the entirety of the film in a coma. It's a worse sign when you begin to envy her condition." |
|
Splat |
The New Guy (2002) |
"An ugly-duckling tale so hideously and clumsily told it feels accidental." |
|
The New World (2005) |
"It wasn't the Puritans -- it was beast that killed the beauty." |
||
Splat |
The Next Best Thing (2000) |
"The filmmakers bend over so far backward to set up their climactic situation that they suck the life out of the characters." |
|
Tomato |
The Next Big Thing (2001) |
"The movie's rife with types ... but any story's a good story if it's told well, and this one is, with chuckles to spare." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Next of Kin (1989) |
"A bunch of rednecks get mad and seek revenge. If that sounds good to you, have at it." |
|
Splat 1/5 |
Niagara, Niagara (1997) |
"Though ostensibly honest in its depiction of Tourette's, those with Tourette's may take offense at the implication that they're psychos" |
|
Nicholas Nickleby (2002) |
|||
Splat |
A Night at the Golden Eagle (2002) |
"It's Tommy's job to clean the peep booths surrounding her, and after viewing this one, you'll feel like mopping up, too." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Night of the Living Dead (1968) |
"Sorry, but it really isn't that scary in this day and age." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
Night of the Living Dead (1990) |
"Now THIS is how to do a remake!" |
|
Night Watch (1973) |
|||
Tomato 4/5 |
Nights of Cabiria (1957) |
"Yum!" |
|
Nine Lives (2005) |
"Five or six lives might have felt more concise; nine test the patience a bit" |
||
Tomato |
Nine Queens (2002) |
"In Nine Queens, the Argentineans do Mamet, damn it, even better." |
|
Splat |
The Ninth Gate (1999) |
"The whole seems to meander aimlessly, rarely creating a chill." |
|
No Country for Old Men (2007) |
"People are calling it the best film of the year, and if it isn't, it's darn close." |
||
Tomato 3/5 |
No Escape (1994) |
"Martin Campbell's generally an underrated action director, but this is just okay, not one of his finer efforts" |
|
Splat 0/5 |
No Holds Barred (1989) |
"Try: No Holds Suck. Tiny Lister is awesome, but -- apart from The Scorpion King, The Princess Bride and The One and Only -- all movies involving 'wrestlers' are stupid." |
|
Tomato |
No Man's Land (2001) |
"Reverberates with anger and intelligence, wit and despair." |
|
Tomato |
No Such Thing (2002) |
"The whole is quite entertaining, but despite its virtues, there is an unsettled feeling to the film." |
|
The Nomi Song (2005) |
"If retro ain’t your thing, fear not; this doesn’t feel dated in the least." |
||
Tomato |
Nora (2001) |
"A must-see for Joyce fans, feminist historians great and small and admirers of the Emerald Isle." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
Nosferatu (1922) |
"The plot was stolen (from Stoker) without recompense. Also set lasting standards for horror film and film in general." |
|
Splat |
Not Another Teen Movie (2001) |
"Yeah, it's another teen movie, all right -- the worst one ever made." |
|
The Notebook (2004) |
|||
Splat 2/5 |
Nothing But Trouble (1991) |
"A train wreck that's hard to take your eyes off, which ain't to say you shouldn't try." |
|
Tomato |
Notorious C.H.O. The Movie (2002) |
"Cho continues her exploration of the outer limits of raunch with considerable brio." |
|
Splat |
Novocaine (2001) |
"It takes a nimble mind to mix light and dark, to wed humor with treachery, and in Novocaine newcomer David Atkins is not always up to the task." |
|
Tomato |
Nurse Betty (2000) |
"Resonates upon the American condition, deliciously detailing the whimsy, violence, intolerance, and shallow fantasies that fuel this nation. Oh yeah, and it's funny." |
|
Splat 0/5 |
Nuts (1987) |
"Leslie Nielsen in his panties is more engaging than the entire remainder of this horrid bore." |
|
Splat |
"The Klumps are relegated to the sidelines, gross caricatures meant to distract us from the movie's disjointed, inane plot line." |
