The 13th Warrior (1999) |
"Michael Crichton is quite a character; his films could use a little." |

Tomato B |
1408 (2007) |
"Takes what was a basically straightforward (albeit kickass) work of fantasy-tinged horror and turns it into something completely different: an abstract, surreal portrait of a man dealing with his grief." |

17 Again (2009) |
"I suppose I should be impressed that 17 Again turned out to be bad in a way I did not anticipate: it is awkward and creepy." |

Splat C |
21 (2008) |
"In its desperation to deliver an action-packed suspense set piece of an ending, 21 asks the audience to suspend all disbelief, and basically begs to be laughed at." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
21 Grams (2003) |
"Plays like a depressing jigsaw puzzle that is both painful and satisfying to assemble." |

27 Dresses (2008) |
"You won't miss much if you choose to let 27 Dresses come and go this month -- except perhaps the unassuming starring debut of a comedienne who, I suspect, will soon become a Hollywood powerhouse." |

28 Days Later (2003) |
"I wanted to sit back and watch a good doomsday movie, but got a little less than I bargained for: a good doomsday movie that looks like crap." |

28 Weeks Later (2007) |
"It's harrowing, heartbreaking and unforgettable all at once." |

Tomato A |
3:10 to Yuma (2007) |
"Breathtakingly exciting and incredibly moving, this -- far and away James Mangold's finest work -- is nothing less than a revolution. It makes the old not so much new but real again, vital and relevant." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C- |
40 Days and 40 Nights (2002) |
"40 Days and 40 Nights is raunchy, and graphic, and sometimes even funny, but its attitude makes it a difficult film to enjoy." |

The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005) |
"Turns low-brow humor into high art." |

50 First Dates (2004) |
"Not an Adam Sandler movie, but a normal, potentially sweet romantic comedy with Adam Sandler elements forced on it over its dead body." |

8 Mile (2002) |
"Elegant and tough, unpretentiously directed by Curtis Hanson, it doesn't for a second pander to what is supposed to be the star's target audience." |
Eugene Novikov |

8 Women (2002) |
"A sensational movie, one so rich, so imaginative, so uninhibited, so full of irony that watching it is a joy of a magnitude rarely experienced at the movies." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B+ |
8MM (1998) |
"t's a comlpex achievement; exciting, sad and profound at the same time. It's also one of the year's first pleasant surprises." |
