101 Reykjavik (2001)

"The movie is inconsequential, floppy-eared, frisky, yet no dog."

13 Going on 30 (2004)

"Although director Gary Winick can put a smile on such stuff, and dispose of actors without trashing them, the script is a vapor mist of rinky-dinks."

The 13th Warrior (1999)

"Often quite entertaining, if not for the Emma crowd."

16 Blocks (2006)

"16 Blocks never makes much sense of its crammed geography or gives the actors more than generic options."

200 Cigarettes (1999)

"Barely functional."

21 Grams (2003)

"This is heartfelt but not deeply searching, not Dostoevskian. It's teasing, melodramatic and oversold."

25th Hour (2002)

"It's a bizarre movie, both vital and rigged, and like many Lee films it has sincere feelings dramatized with smooth calculation."

28 Days (2000)

"Sandra Bullock can be sweet-plus, with a deeply human appeal, but her acting isn't deep."

28 Weeks Later (2007)

"The movie has some vivid shock touches and the scenes of depopulated London are queasily strange. Still, this is really about a grimly ravaged couple and two kids put through hell. Your idea of fun? Munch on it."

4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)

"A film of brutal, breathtaking intelligence, a work of pellucid, shimmering art without a scintilla of compromise, 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days is surely one of the very best films of the year. And you can pick the year."

The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)

"Even crude humor can be deftly done (Chaucer led the way), and Virgin drops its drawers with the glee of a happy camper."

The 6th Day (2000)

"[Arnold's] attempts at endearing, expressive acting are, if not quite dead, like something translated from Esperanto into Old English by a German computer."

8 Mile (2002)

"Thanks to Eminem and the rising rap momentum, 8 Mile is engrossing."

8MM (1998)

"Watching Eight Millimeter is like seeing the basement torture scene in Pulp Fiction expanded to film length, but with the kinky overlay of wit removed, and only the vile sadism left."
