Tomato

O (2001)

"The movie is violent and alarming, but in no way does it endorse or glamorize killing as a solution to problems. When the inevitable murders begin in the third act, no one is going to be cheering for more."

James Sanford

Tomato

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)

"hardly a dark, weighty epic. In fact, it's more like the Red Velvet Cake that's a Southern speciality: lovely to look at, multi-layered and best taken lightly."

James Sanford

Tomato

The Object Of My Affection (1998)

"The film effectively drives home the point that, when forced to choose, most people - even nice ones - will chase their own dreams instead of fulfilling someone else's."

James Sanford

Tomato
3.5/5

Ocean's Thirteen (2007)

"Clooney, Pitt and Damon have now worked together long enough that they've found a delightful sense of synchronicity that makes even the throwaway lines worth catching."

James Sanford

Tomato

October Sky (1999)

"spirited, exciting entertainment that delivers on any number of levels - and you don't have to be a youngster to enjoy it."

James Sanford

Splat
2/5

Off Beat (1985)

"Not at all -- it's pure, forgettable formulaic sitcom"

James Sanford

Tomato
3/4

Old Joy (2006)

"Although there's not much in the way of traditional drama in Old Joy, there's always something going on, if you're willing to pay close attention to the film's delicate details."

James Sanford

Tomato

Old School (2003)

"a cheerful, unapologetically goofy comedy that manages to get a reasonable share of laughs without constantly leaning on gross-out gags"

James Sanford

Tomato
3/5

Oliver and Company (1988)

""catchy songs, a cuddly hero, perfectly pleasant""

James Sanford

Tomato
3/5

Oliver! (1968)

"Eye-filling and lively, but it was better on the stage"

James Sanford

Tomato
3.5/4

Once (2007)

"It would be interesting to know how much of their conversation was actually in Carney's screenplay and how much was ad-libbed as the camera rolled; there's a wonderful spontaneity in both the dialogue and the musical performances."

James Sanford

Tomato

One False Move (1992)

"a tight, tense little thriller that's most notable today as a launching pad for the careers of Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton."

James Sanford

Tomato

One Hour Photo (2002)

"a workmanlike shocker that immediately announces the course it's going to follow and proceeds directly down that road with no detours or sidetrips"

James Sanford

Tomato

One True Thing (1998)

"the movie ultimately belongs to Streep, who illuminates the extraordinary soul inside an everyday woman."

James Sanford

Tomato
4/5

Only the Lonely (1991)

"One of Candy's sweetest (and most underappreciated) films"

James Sanford

Splat
2/5

Only You (1994)

""Moonstruck II," it is not"

James Sanford

Tomato
3/4

Open Range (2003)

"This is by far the best film Costner has made in the past six years. As always, his direction misses no details, instilling considerably more sensitivity in the movie than you might expect to find in a Western."

James Sanford

Splat
1.5/4

Open Season (2006)

"Both Lawrence and Kutcher remain firmly within their standard ranges -- Lawrence is surly but secretly sensitive, while Kutcher is manic yet needy -- and their performances are as nondescript as most of the jokes."

James Sanford

Tomato

Open Water (2004)

"Instead of... hurling buckets of blood onto the screen, the film effectively exploits perhaps the most basic phobia in our subconscious: the terror of being abandoned."

James Sanford

Tomato
4/5

Open Your Eyes (1997)

"Substantially better than its remake, 'Vanilla Sky'"

James Sanford

Tomato

Orange County (2002)

"Although it includes a fair share of dumb drug jokes and predictable slapstick, "Orange County" is far funnier than it would seem to have any right to be."

James Sanford

Splat

Orgazmo (1998)

"Perhaps the movie's single biggest joke is its NC-17 rating, which it must have earned solely for raunchy dialogue. The nudity is anything but erotic."

James Sanford

Splat

The Original Kings of Comedy (2000)

"like most stand-up shows, has plenty of peaks and valleys... could easily have been trimmed by at least half an hour without any major losses."

James Sanford

Tomato

The Other Side of Heaven (2002)

"In its combination of religion, love story and exotic locales, "Heaven" is a bit reminiscent of James Michener's "Hawaii," although this is a somewhat simpler, more personal tale."

James Sanford

Splat

The Other Sister (1999)

"instead of frank talk about real issues, "Sister" stubbornly accentuates the positive, offering up gorgeous houses and a sweeping pop soundtrack instead of any sort of insight into the problems a woman in Carla's situation might face."

James Sanford

Tomato

The Others (2001)

"Writer-director Alejandro Amenabar has assembled a chiller that's thoroughly engrossing without ever grossing us out, and he's gotten an intense, masterfully modulated performance from Kidman that easily ranks among her finest."

James Sanford

Splat
2/5

Out for Justice (1991)

"Seagal's usual shoot-'em-up"

James Sanford

Tomato
5/5

Out of Africa (1985)

"Epic filmmaking at its most lushly romantic"

James Sanford

Tomato

Out of Sight (1998)

"With a savory score by Cliff Martinez complementing its every move, 'Sight' serves up a cornucopia of great moments, lines and performances."

James Sanford

Tomato
3/4

Out of Time (2003)

"Screenwriter Dave Collard doesn't give the movie much of an ending -- the story's rough edges are miraculously smoothed over, thanks to some fortuitous personality changes -- but most of "Time" is enjoyably taut..."

James Sanford

Splat

The Out-of-Towners (1999)

"How much you enjoy this 'Out-of-Towners' will have a lot to do with how many times you can laugh at what amounts to a series of variations on the same joke."

James Sanford

Tomato
3/5

The Outsiders (1983)

"Gorgeously photographed teen drama with a strong cast"

James Sanford

Tomato
3/4

Over the Hedge (2006)

"If the movie doesn't break much new ground, either in terms of its animation or its storyline, it's full of manic energy, clever ideas and jolliness, making it hard to resist."

James Sanford

Splat
0/5

Overdrawn at the Memory Bank (1983)

"you'll want to start forgetting it as soon as possible"

James Sanford
