The New Adventures of Pinocchio (1999)

"I’ll probably just chill out for a couple of years, concentrate on school, then hopefully enter back into the business, and you know getting into directing like Ron Howard and Jodie Foster."

Nothing (1999)

"like a West Coast suburban, post-pubescent Woody Allen, like a Sartre on laughing gas, Aaronson has created a film that will have you floored..."

The Big Lebowski (1998)

"Nimble, crackerjack entertainment with the crazed, anything-goes humor and the visual splendor we have come to expect in the best of the Coen Brothers' offerings."

The Chambermaid on the Titanic (1998)

"Overwhelmingly romantic, subtly cynical, and constantly entertaining, "The Chambermaid and the Titanic" is an example of how to make a superb film for less than $200 million."

Kissing a Fool (1998)

"A little more “Kissing” like this, and years from now it’s quite possible “Friends” will be all Schwimmer is remembered for."

Leather Jacket Love Story (1998)

"So good-natured and peppered with so much nudity and so many crazed drag queens, you'll find yourself more than willing to overlook its poor sound quality, mixed bag of actors, and lack of suspense."

A Price Above Rubies (1998)

"Thanks to Boaz (Fresh) Yorkin, we now have Bye, Bye, Hasid or better yet Escape from the Tefillin."

Sphere (1998)

"Sphere yearns to be a philosophical epic but it's final and only edict is so rudimentary as to barely exist: man is not yet 'ready' either intellectually or emotionally for the gifts E.T.'s are willing to share with us."

Twilight (1998)

"Imagine a Medicare version of the private eye Paul Newman played in both “Harper” (1966) and “The Drowning Pool” (1976), and you have “Twilight.”"

Wild Things (1998)

"What “Titanic” supplied for female teens, “Wild Things” will supply for their male counterparts."

Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life (1997)

"... when Ms. Rand, who died in 1982, is verbally sparring with the likes of Phil Donahue or Mike Wallace on old TV broadcasts, she comes alive."

Deja Vu (1997)

"In a mood for a little O. Henry? Then you're in luck. In this most whimsical of romances, auteur Henry Jaglom, has again created another of his unconventional opuses"

I Went Down (1997)

"This good-natured, rough-housing Irish comedy is one of those buddy pictures where two oddly matched chaps thrown together by caustic Fate eventually save each other's life and become the best of buddies."

Mimic (1997)

"my first line was "O all you host of Heaven! O earth! What else?" A more apt line there couldn't have been. "

Taste of Cherry (1997)

"That Kiarostami keeps us guessing and caring to the very end as to how Mr. Badii will answer these questions, and that he accomplishes this concern on our parts with a startling spareness, is nothing less than Divine."

Welcome to Woop Woop (1997)

"Finally a Rocky Horror Show to greet the millennium. Welcome to Woop Woop is indisputably the best “bad” film to hit our screens in many a moon."

Bird of Prey (1996)

"At one point, Kily/Tilly notes: "Parents! You can't live with them. You can't live without their Mastercard." Hopefully, that will be the only sentence I remember from this abomination, and if the Lord is merciful, not even that."

Breaking the Waves (1996)

"mesmerizing, harrowing and in the end euphoric"

Different for Girls (1996)

"What makes this wonderfully deranged film fly is Rupert (“Maurice”; “Where Angels Fear to Tread”) Graves."

Hak-saeng boo-keun shin-wei (1996)

"Park, one of Korea's most acclaimed directors, here displays why he is so honored. Mixing farce with real pain and making it work is always a major accomplishment."

I Love You, Don't Touch Me! (1996)

"This woman is so grating, so self-absorbed, and so without a sense of humor, you can't be sympathetic to her self-inflicted chastity. Katie deserves to be alone. Sadly, she's wound up on the screen."

The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996)

"The most exciting characters are killed off too early, and what we’re left with is a Satan’s “Seasme Street.”"

The Leading Man (1996)

"Jon Bon Jovi, with his fiendishly angelic smile, thick, unruly locks, and piercing, flirtatious orbs, is slowly grooming himself for stardom."

Striptease (1996)

"For a movie with more bare breasts than any two tattered issues of “Playboy” and “Hustler,” “Striptease” is the flattest offering of the year."

Passover Fever (1995)

"a very funny comedy. Sort of like a B'nai B'rith version of "Parenthood.""
