Raise Your Voice (2004)

"Duff at 17 is so easy to take. She radiates without smugness, like the blessed offspring of Marilyn Monroe and a virile marshmallow."

Ram Dass Fierce Grace (2002)

"Rarely, a movie is more than a movie. Go."

Random Hearts (1999)

"This is 131 minutes of funereal waste."

Ratatouille (2007)

"If a bit long for a cartoon feature -- probably a sign that its makers fell in love with it -- Ratatouille is the eighth and one of the best Pixar features."

Read My Lips (2002)

"A genuinely adult thriller with a sneaky sexual charge."

The Real Cancun (2003)

"Strip away the glittery facade and turn down the music, and what's left is very little substance."

Rebound (2005)

"Lawrence and the kids find a common groove, and validate their casting."

The Reckoning (2004)

"The story tumbles awkwardly."

Red Dragon (2002)

"The film has very little momentum, nothing freshly imagined."

Red Planet (2000)

"Not boring, not captivating."

Reindeer Games (2000)

"And so, like a barge crashing a Jacuzzi, do many plot contrivances."

Rendition (2007)

"A movie that has only two major scenes for Streep and one for Arkin has talent to spare."

The Replacements (2000)

"Achieving the dull veneer of your standard TV movie shot on the backlots of Burbank, The Replacements lets Hackman work at about one-fourth his talent level. That still gives him a big lead over Reeves."

Reservation Road (2007)

"There is the squishy tension of a problem drama gone soft."

Return to Me (2000)

"Every shot is squarely predictable, and you'd never guess that cinematographer Laszlo Kovacs has done major work like Paper Moon."

Returner (2002)

"An action party for bored fifth graders."

Rhinoceros Eyes (2004)

"Smacks of upscale student work with a command of atmospherics but a script mixed in a blender of concept doodles."

Riding Giants (2004)

"Moving from hero to hero, big waves to bigger ones, the movie pulls you into the adrenaline surge of fixation."

The Ring (2002)

"Much less than the sum of its stylish parts, but for a while there, it'll curl your hair, or your toes, or whatever it is you've got that curls up when you're getting the holy popcorn scared out of you."

The Road to Guantanamo (2006)

"The overwhelming sense is of busted justice that would have infuriated even Kafka, and a great nation abusing the innocent for that old devil, expediency."

Road Trip (2000)

"With the exception of Tom Green's inspired performance as a mouse-gobbling psycho, Road Trip is surprisingly short on anarchic lunacy."

Robots (2005)

"Robots shows its concept wheels very obviously, but it is entertaining, visually spectacular, and in a few moments (like a scene with millions of ball bearings) beautiful."

Roger Dodger (2002)

"Kidd's script is rich in smart lines that have stingers in their tails."

Ronin (1998)

"Frankenheimer rams the plot through turnstiles of gibberish!"

Rosenstrasse (2004)

"Von Trotta has made the story lucidly painful, and only a brick would not be moved. But she has also padded it, rather than burrowing tightly into the protest and its details."
