O (2001) |
"The pathological envy, racism, fear and jealousy that drive Shakespeare's "Othello" make a scary sense in the world of modern teenagers.

Obscene: A Portrait Of Barney Rosset And Grove Press (2008) |
"Rosset is a lively subject, and his interviews (over many years) provide an oral history of his life and times." |
Bill White |
Tomato B+ |
Ocean's Eleven (2001) |
"Devilishly entertaining." |
William Arnold |
Splat C- |
Ocean's Thirteen (2007) |
"All told, this thing has to be one of the dullest caper movies ever made." |
William Arnold |
Tomato B- |
Ocean's Twelve (2004) |
"As a caper movie, it's a travesty that's impossible to understand or follow, but it's quite funny and clicks along nicely as a giddy, self-deprecating showcase for its gaggle of stars." |
William Arnold |
Tomato B |
Off the Map (2005) |
"Scott's directorial hand is light but sure, totally trusting of his actors and script, patiently building and sustaining a mood and tone that's always true to the material, devoid of any showing off or intrusive humor, and infused with a tangible honesty" |
William Arnold |
Tomato B |
Offside (2006) |
"As in his previous films, such as Crimson Gold, director Jafar Panahi does not embitter his story with acrimony, but lets the absurdity of its situations bear silent witness to the injustices portrayed." |
Bill White |
Splat F |
The Oh in Ohio (2006) |
"It's like watching a bad '70s porno movie that has been sheared of its sex scenes and has nothing left but rudeness and genitalia jokes." |
William Arnold |
Tomato A |
Old Joy (2006) |
"... the dynamics shift from moment to moment. The beauty of the film is how director Kelly Reichardt brilliantly captures those moments with lucid simplicity." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato C+ |
Old School (2003) |
"To call the haphazard string of gags a story is to give it far too much credit, but it is funny in a blunt, profane frat boy way..." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato B- |
Oldboy (2005) |
"... any intended irony is beaten into submission." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato B |
Oliver Twist (2005) |
"Polanski has given the Dickens saga a thrilling epic look." |
William Arnold |
Splat C- |
The Omen (2006) |
"The revisited Omen is neither very scary nor much fun in a movie-movie sense." |
William Arnold |
Tomato B |
On A Clear Day (2006) |
"It's the rare exploration of a misunderstood love between a father and son who, by not knowing how to live with each other, find they must live apart if they can't escape the past." |
Paula Nechak |
Splat D- |
On the Line (2001) |
"The boys would be wise not to give up their day jobs just yet." |

Once (2007) |
"A television director and two musicians have made a miracle of a movie that is both fairy tale and slice of life." |
Bill White |
Splat 6/10 |
Once in the Life (2000) |
"The pingpong repetition of dialogue is more precious than poetic and heavy silences and actorly asides draw out a slim story that packs few dramatic surprises." |
Sean Axmaker |
Splat D |
Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003) |
"The film's deliberately overblown cartoonishness and its gleefully pandering adolescent cruelty never blend into the enjoyable style of, say, a good spaghetti western (Rodriguez's acknowledged model), or even a bad Quentin Tarantino movie." |
William Arnold |
Splat C+ |
Once Upon a Time in the Midlands (2003) |
"It's an interesting experiment that doesn't quite work." |
Paula Nechak |

Tomato B- |
The One (2001) |
""The One" is pure pulp junk and Wong embraces it as such, rushing through the mundane details of establishing characters and defining motivation to leap into action..." |

Tomato B+ |
One from the Heart (1982) |
"... simultaneously ahead of its time and delightfully quaint, a simple romantic comedy that revels in the dreamy artifice of a meticulously re-created fantasy Las Vegas." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato B+ |
One Hour Photo (2002) |
"An impressive debut for first-time writer-director Mark Romanek, especially considering his background is in music video." |

One Night at McCool's (2001) |
"A spirited, screwball crime-thriller with a sly heart." |
Sean Axmaker |
Splat C+ |
One: The Movie (2005) |
"... naive and almost crippled by the effusive false modesty of its narration, but within that naivete is a spirit of inquiry." |

Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior (2005) |
"An impressive, adrenaline-boosted action showcase." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato B- |
Only Human (2006) |
"The irreverent comedy of family feuds, impulsive leaps of (il)logic, and temporary amnesia is more screwball eccentricity than social satire." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato B |
Opal Dream (2006) |
"The film succeeds because of the great lengths to which Ashmol goes to bring her peace of mind." |
Manny Lewis |
Tomato B+ |
Open Hearts (2003) |
"... benefits from the best qualities of Dogme... while avoiding the movement's tendency to dwell on the worst impulses of human behavior." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato A- |
Open Range (2003) |
"A gorgeously atmospheric, perfectly cast, beautifully crafted oater of the old school, made with heaps of integrity, no gimmicks and few concessions to the box office." |
William Arnold |
Splat D |
Open Season (2006) |
"It's a tired rehash of animation cliches that distinguishes itself only by the extent to which it's crammed full of scatology and gleeful violence to animals, and otherwise panders to the worst instincts of its audience." |
William Arnold |
Splat C |
Open Water (2004) |
"By no means a good movie." |
Bill White |
Tomato B- |
Operation Filmmaker (2008) |
"The antagonism between filmmaker and subject reminds us that reality is never a passive still life, but a volatile entity with its own ideas on how it is to be represented." |
Bill White |
Splat C |
The Operator (2001) |
"...Dichter expects us to accept his abrupt transformation from ruthless player to spiritual convert with nothing more than a teary confession." |

Tomato B+ |
Or (My Treasure) (2005) |
"Yedaya is respectful and sensitive of everyone in Or's life and creates a beautiful, complex and rich relationship between mother and daughter..." |
Sean Axmaker |
Splat D |
Orange County (2002) |
"With all the A-list offspring in the credits of Orange County, it should have been a cut above the usual teen comedy. But it touches the same old bases in the same old dumb ways." |
William Arnold |

The Original Kings of Comedy (2000) |
"Bernie Mac is the best way to close out the show. He lunges straight into the audience's face, politically incorrect and proud of it." |
Candice Y. Rigon |
Splat D |
Original Sin (2001) |
"Even with all its delicious atmosphere, the movie is just spectacularly uninvolving." |
William Arnold |
Tomato b |
The Orphanage (2007) |
"In a genre that has been battered by the cheap grotesqueries of special effects, it is a pleasure to be unsettled by something as simple as an invasive beam of light in the shadows of a haunted house." |

Tomato B- |
Osama (2003) |
"We feel her fear and are moved by her plight because her will and childhood are torn from her not only by the Taliban but her own family." |
Paula Nechak |
Tomato B+ |
Osmosis Jones (2001) |
"It has zippy energy, visual imagination, inspired puns and all the fart jokes, booger gags, and vomit spews a 13-year-old could ask for..." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato A- |
OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2008) |
"The tongue-in-cheek humor, which relentlessly lampoons action-movie conventions and the die-hard European colonial mentality, is consistently clever and witty, and the movie is a scream." |
William Arnold |
Tomato B+ |
The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) |
"Not much of a visual epic maybe, but an absorbing, exciting costume drama that works as a historical romance, a family tragedy and a showcase for its young stars." |
William Arnold |
