O (2001)
"A dress-up movie; it's wearing the adult clothes of the very serious Othello, but it's difficult to take seriously."
Mary F. Pols
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
"An audacious gas I can't wait to see again."
Tomato
Ocean's Eleven (2001)
"Clooney's performance serves as a metaphor for the entire movie: It's not challenging, but it's mighty pleasant and easy to watch."
Splat 2.5/4
Ocean's Thirteen (2007)
"Steven Soderbergh's film is smooth, pleasing and lively. It's also completely devoid of genuine dramatic tension."
Splat 2/4
Ocean's Twelve (2004)
"The movie is fun in the way reading Us Weekly is fun, except that it takes longer to get through."
Tomato 3/4
Old School (2003)
"A raucous comedy about men chafing against the responsibilities of adulthood."
Oldboy (2005)
"I watched every frame attentively, and my mind was engaged with the story, but my heart was never in it."
Oliver Twist (2005)
"Hopefully, this loving adaptation will allow a new generation to discover this masterpiece."
Randy Myers
Tomato 3.5/4
The Omen (2006)
"[Moore] realizes creating an unsettling mood, genuine suspense and fully realized characters is as important -- maybe even more important -- than mere bloodshed."
Once (2007)
"Once is a love story told in songs, a romance between two people just getting to know each other, and the music is completely organic to both their tentative attraction and their backstories as individuals."
Tomato B-
Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003)
"An absurdist good time."
One Night at McCool's (2001)
"There's very little to commend in this violent, sexed-up and dumbed-down version of Rashomon."
Orange County (2002)
"The humor in Orange County is not just tasteless but consistently off a note or two."
Tomato A-
The Orphanage (2007)
"I'd argue it's emotionally richer and more surprising [than Pan's Labyrinth]."
The Others (2001)
"Refreshingly, the film never resorts to special effects to be spooky."
Splat C
Out of Time (2003)
"The movie is standard fare, a mindless-enough plot that draws strength from its appealing setting, the aforementioned sultry sandwich and its charismatic star."
Splat D
Over Her Dead Body (2008)
"Over Her Dead Body is, if nothing else, a conversation piece. Among the important discussion points it raises are, 'What was Paul Rudd thinking?' and 'Does Eva Longoria Parker think?'"
Over the Hedge (2006)
"Even though the film might not always be as sharp as it could be, it's a welcome departure from recent animated family fare."
Overnight (2004)
"In less than 90 minutes, Overnight reveals as much about small-scale filmmaking as Project Greenlight does in the course of 13 hourlong episodes."
