Tomato 2.5/4 |
Rachel Getting Married (2008) |
"Anne is okay, much stronger performances by Rosemary Dewitt, Tunde Adembimpe & Bill Irwin. Lush, rich, cultural music spices already fresh, alive family gathering scenes." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Radio (2003) |
"Mayberry schmaltz, big heart, good message, and, refreshingly, an antagonist that's more real/human than evil. I liked it." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Rat Race (2001) |
"good old fashion fun" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Ratatouille (2007) |
"Not quite the comedic animated masterpiece, rather a cute quaint film that drags a bit at the second act, but offers up an unexpectedly warm plate of climax in the wind up." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Ray (2004) |
"Yes, it's true, but you may find it rather off-putting to witness a hero knocked down a notch or two.

Tomato 3/4 |
Ready to Rumble (2000) |
"Man oh man, this movie had me laughing so hard, tears were running down the creases of my smile-swollen cheeks." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Real Dirt on Farmer John (2007) |
"A beautiful documentary. Completely fascinating, with a topic that hits home even if home for you isn't a farm. Bio of a guy, not a celebrity, politician, nor rich person." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Recruit (2003) |
"Strong acting, a fine patient pace at the outset, a clever ending, but nonetheless lacking something meaty." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Dragon (2002) |
"Delights in contrasting operatic refinement with bloody savagery." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 6/10 |
Red Planet (2000) |
"Though not very deep in deep space, I thought Red Planet was pretty good fun." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Red Violin (1998) |
"a composition in five movements. Although the primary theme (the violin) ties all the segments together, it is but a thin string." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Reign of Fire (2002) |
"McConaughey's fun to watch, the dragons are okay, not much fire in the script." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Remember the Titans (2000) |
"The film is a lot about character and a little about football. Not a single boring, slow, or unnecessary second. I loved it.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 9/10 |
The Replacements (2000) |
"It's just plain good fun, good solid dialogue peppered with plenty of grins, and a lot of football action." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 6/10 |

"writers have kids of their own." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Riding in Cars with Boys (2001) |
"Always finding a way to lighten its weightiness with a chuckle, the film fields some pretty heavy subject matter -- like life." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Ring (2002) |
"Compelling, yet dissappointing." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Road to El Dorado (2000) |

Ross Anthony |
Splat 1/4 |
Road to Perdition (2002) |
"Slow, dry, poorly cast, but beautifully shot." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Road Trip (2000) |
"You could count the gut-busting scenes on one hand, and the chucklers on the other and still have a finger or two left to do with as you please." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 4/4 |
Robots (2005) |
"Wonderfully entertaining! Visually tantalizing! Musically upbeat! A modern animation with the spirit of The Wizard of Oz and Willy Wonka." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Rock Star (2001) |
"Perhaps, the original screenplay called for a three-hour film ... a mini-epic like "Almost Famous"" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Rolling Stones - Live at The Max (1990) |
"Good music, good camera work, big screen. Keith Richards is in heaven." |
Ross Anthony |

"A big cool fun movie." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Rookie (2002) |
"Could this be the first major studio production shot on video tape instead of film?" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
A Room for Romeo Brass (2000) |
"Overall, an excellent, top-notch production, compromised by an ambiguous theme.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Roving Mars (2006) |
"The first third of the film is weak, but from there it blasts off with strength and connects emotionally, visually, intellectually and even motivationally with the audience." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) |
"Indulges in a set-up that bleeds far into the film. Scattered, the production lacks build. Hopes that oddity will be enough to entertain and sometimes it does." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Rugrats Go Wild (2003) |
"Though, at times, sweetly sincere, the movie doesn't pack the emotion impact nor the thematic message we're all coming to expect from "movie cartoons."" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Rugrats in Paris (2000) |
"Chuckie-full of juicy one liners." |
Ross Anthony |

Rumor Has It... (2005) |
"Lacks depth." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Run Lola Run (1999) |
"Though lacking the solidity of a full feature drama, this colorfully nerve-wracking art film is an interesting study in chance" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008) |
"While some moments rely solely on Pegg's natural on-screen goofiness, he & M. I. Black have simply written a very funny script that spreads the fun evenly throughout." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Runaway Bride (1999) |
"It's a sure bet." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
