Tomato

102 Dalmatians (2000)

"It delivers a perfectly palatable plot and plenty of adorable puppies."

Mary F. Pols

Splat

The 13th Floor (1999)

"Never has a film deteriorated so abruptly and so completely."

Karen Hershenson

Tomato
3/4

1408 (2007)

"Cusack is uniquely suited to the role; a movie that really wanted to spook us would posit him as a happy, church-going family man. But until such time, we have Swedish director Mikael Hafstrom's fun take on Stephen King's short story of the same name."

Mary F. Pols

Splat

15 Minutes (2001)

"Its attempts to take aim at tabloid culture ends up a hideous mess."

Vera H-C Chan

Tomato
B

2 Days In Paris (2007)

"As [Woody] Allen made New York seem like a real, lived-in place, Delpy gives us that same easy proximity to Paris."

Mary F. Pols

Splat
C+

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

"Has its fair share of adrenaline, but the plot is shot through with more holes than Christina Aguilera's favorite awards outfit."

Mary F. Pols

Tomato
B+

2012 (2009)

"Sound idiotic? Preposterous? You bet. But 2012 delivers the disaster-movie goods better than any other popcorn movie we've seen since the '80s."

Randy Myers

Tomato
B-

21 Grams (2003)

"[Penn], Watts and Del Toro ... keep us distracted from the truth about 21 Grams: that it is permeated with melodrama and not nearly as deep as it would like to be."

Mary F. Pols

Tomato
3.5/4

25th Hour (2002)

"[An] absorbing movie."

Mary F. Pols

Tomato
b-

27 Dresses (2008)

"[A] traditionally contrived but still rather charming rom-com."

Mary F. Pols

Tomato
B+

28 Days Later (2003)

"Exhilarating, exciting and, thanks to its cool, mostly unknown leads and touches of black humor, is destined to be a hipster cult classic, much as Trainspotting was before it."

Mary F. Pols

Splat
C

30 Days of Night (2007)

"30 Days the movie conjures the ominous atmosphere that haunted the graphic novel, but squanders much of the rest."

Randy Myers

Splat

3000 Miles to Graceland (2001)

"If you have a perverse desire to see Kevin Costner in the full throes of a midlife crisis, then by all means go see 3000 Miles to Graceland."

Mary F. Pols

Tomato
A-

4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)

"Although the film takes place over two days, writer/director Cristian Mungiu keeps us so close to every mundane moment that he conveys the sense that he's shot in real time."

Mary F. Pols

Tomato
3/4

40 Days and 40 Nights (2002)

"Pushes the envelope in the same goodhearted way the first "American Pie" did, relying on a pitch-perfect cast of characters to deliver some memorable one-liners."

Mary F. Pols

Tomato
B+

500 Days of Summer (2009)

"Even with its minor imperfections, Summer warmly and brightly defies romantic comedy conventions most of the time and deserves to become a surprise hit while finally turning Gordon-Levitt into a star."

Randy Myers

Tomato
3/4

8 Mile (2002)

"Eminem comes across as very genuine. It is his charisma, and his music, that make 8 Mile worth seeing."

Mary F. Pols
