Splat

O (2001)

"The oddball O is a blunt answer to the conceptual question: When is Shakespeare no longer Shakespeare?"

David Elliott

Tomato

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)

"[The Coen brothers] show fine streaks of vim and do great casting."

David Elliott

Tomato
3.5/4

O Fantasma (2000)

"It extends the writings of Jean Genet and John Rechy, the films of Fassbinder, perhaps even the nocturnal works of Goya."

David Elliott

Splat

Ocean's Eleven (2001)

"All glitz and glibness, the film makes 1960's ego party, which had the mock substance of happy-hour celebrity, seem rather deep."

David Elliott

Splat
1/4

Ocean's Thirteen (2007)

"Plot pieces barely fit, almost nothing is clearly explained, the gizmos and twists are stupid, the wit witless. This movie smokes a fat cigar of assumption, smug that most viewers will need to feel like insiders."

David Elliott

Splat
0/4

Ocean's Twelve (2004)

"Pitt and Clooney seem to be on paid vacation, goosing their egos like jolly truants (the royal theft here is their salaries)."

David Elliott

Tomato

October Sky (1999)

"A story both grounded and ascendent, a movie that puts your emotions in orbit."

David Elliott

Tomato
3/4

Off the Map (2005)

"Despite some florid narration it is quietly spoken, humorous, quick with sympathy."

David Elliott

Tomato

Office Space (1999)

"Brilliant!"

David Elliott

Tomato
2.5/4

The Oh in Ohio (2006)

"The Oh in Ohio has a light, scampy spirit that rides to its rescue, often enough."

David Elliott

Tomato
3/4

Oldboy (2005)

"Much of it is well made, capably acted and photographed."

David Elliott

Tomato
4/4

Oliver Twist (2005)

"Oliver Twist has been done repeatedly on film and TV, but never better than in Roman Polanski's beautiful and tough-minded movie."

David Elliott

Splat
2/4

The Omen (2006)

"John Moore directed with verve, and glosses nonsense with artful lighting. The audience is lured into not giggling too early or often, though decapitation gets a howl."

David Elliott

Splat
2.4/5

On A Clear Day (2006)

"The social, economic and personal stresses don't seem very surely addressed by the big swim."

David Elliott

Splat

On the Line (2001)

"Unless you're 10 and an 'NSYNC fan, you can afford to miss this flick."

Jessica Yadegaran

Tomato
2.5/4

Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos (2006)

"New York went bust, so did the team, yet scattered seeds for smarter soccer growth later."

David Elliott

Splat
2/4

Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003)

"Goes nowhere, furiously."

David Elliott

Splat
1.5/4

Once Upon a Time in the Midlands (2003)

"[A] flaccid bore."

David Elliott

Splat

The One (2001)

"The moviemakers left the story line open for a sequel, but in this case, let's hope once is enough."

Jerry McCormick

Splat
2.5/4

One Hour Photo (2002)

"This could have been a modest classic, but writer Romanek turned the suspense of artful neurosis toward pulpy psychosis."

David Elliott

Splat

One Night at McCool's (2001)

"The script's interlocking stories are dull, and the actors respond with variations on their most predictable themes."

Karla Peterson

Tomato

One True Thing (1998)

"It's Streep to the max!"

David Elliott

Splat
2.5/4

Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior (2005)

"The opening scene is best, of men combatively climbing a huge tree like crazed monkeys. After that, it's a steady slide down into the sludge pond of global junk cinema."

David Elliott

Tomato
4/4

Open Range (2003)

"If you grew up on Westerns, which are now an old-time religion, Open Range is a ride you want to share."

David Elliott

Splat
2.5/4

Open Water (2004)

"Not bad at all (the music is a little trite), but where is the incentive to experience it? Less a horror film than a misery spree."

David Elliott

Tomato

Orange County (2002)

"The wit is smart but also snarky."

David Elliott

Tomato

The Original Kings of Comedy (2000)

"Judging by audience reaction -- out of their seats, in the aisles, standing up, swaying to the music, howling in recognition of material that hit home -- these kings rule."

Jerry McCormick

Tomato

Original Sin (2001)

"Works on a sensual, insinuating level."

David Elliott

Splat
2/4

The Orphanage (2007)

"The truly disturbing element is the heavy reliance on childhood loneliness, fear and sickness."

David Elliott

Tomato
3/4

Osama (2003)

"Outrage is concentrated by art, but how can you urge people to watch a child being tortured for 82 minutes?"

David Elliott

Splat

Osmosis Jones (2001)

"We sense Howard the Duck II struggling to emerge, perhaps holding the flaccid trunk of Murray's elephant bomb Larger Than Life."

David Elliott

Tomato
3/4

The Other Conquest (2007)

"A grand mural of trauma, with superb colors, a great escape scene and fertile myth-probing about how masters and vassals together forged the hot core of Mexican Catholicism."

David Elliott

Splat

The Other Sister (1999)

"This movie offers itself to us like a cow with too many udders."

David Elliott

Splat

The Others (2001)

"Favors too much teasing delay spiced by arbitrary insinuations (war guilt, marital discord, etc.) and a 'surprise' topper that could have made even Rod Serling squirm."

David Elliott

Tomato

Our Lady of the Assassins (2001)

"Schroeder has made his best film."

David Elliott

Splat
1.5/4

Out of Time (2003)

"Dynamic but obsessively remote from reality, Out of Time is like a drive-in movie for a car junkyard. The motor races, but the tires are flat, while the characters are given sizzle by their cell phones."

David Elliott

Tomato

Outside Providence (1999)

"Baldwin is so good he deserves a Farrelly Oscar."

David Elliott

Splat
2/4

Over the Hedge (2006)

"Two directors plus five writers show some taste and keep things impish for kids, with cute jokes and a soft pitch at the end for family values. But we can tell when they're seeking to amuse themselves."

David Elliott

Tomato
3/4

Owning Mahowny (2003)

"More like a case study than a drama."

David Elliott
