10 Things I Hate About You (1999) |
"I doubt I would be able to find ten things I hate about 10 Things I Hate About You, but the positive aspects of the film far out-number ten." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1/4 |
10,000 B.C. (2008) |
"10,000 B.C. is a load of crap dressed up with pretty background vistas. The film is terminally lifeless, something that a so-called 'event' picture should never be." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
The 11th Hour (2007) |
"More concerned with emotionally manipulating the audience than breaking any new ground on the subject matter." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
The 13th Floor (1999) |
"Individual moments and ideas come off as far more powerful, and memorable, than the overall whole." |

Splat 0/4 |
The 13th Warrior (1999) |
"Stupefyingly horrendous." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
1408 (2007) |
"Underneath the atmosphere and pizzazz is an intimate and thoughtful portrait of one man's return from an abyss infinitely more haunting than any old, evil hotel room." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
15 Minutes (2001) |
"Has something to say, and it says it remarkably well." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
16 Blocks (2006) |
"The premise, which has been seen countless times before and done with far more style and flair, is terribly thin." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
17 Again (2009) |
"A high school fantasy where few classes are taken, tests are a figment of one's imagination, and the students, all of them stock exaggerations, roam the hallways without a thought in their puny minds." |

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) |
"A summer movie that offers sporadic thrills and spills with nothing but dead air surrounding them." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2.5/4 |
200 Cigarettes (1999) |
"A toss-up between wonderful moments and weak moments. This is one of the brightest vignettes of the film, thanks fully to Plimpton's stand-out, high-energy, hilarious performance." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
2012 (2009) |
"Giant-sized, explosive and technically astounding. This is no less than the end of the world Roland Emmerich is dealing with, and he tosses into the pot so much delirious spectacle that, yes, there are even kitchen sinks in sight." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
21 (2008) |
"A pulse-poundingly high-spirited and extremely well-directed drama. If 21 is only one thing, it's intoxicating." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
21 Grams (2003) |
"[A]n imaginative, heartbreaking film -- one of 2003's best -- that you won't easily forget." |

25th Hour (2002) |
"Indelibly works its way underneath the skin." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
27 Dresses (2008) |
"Strictly junk food for rom-com lovers who will devour anything of its ilk that comes their way. All other potential audience members needn't bother." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
28 Days (2000) |
"May be a so-called 'feel-good' comedy-drama, but it is rarely funny, and its emotions neglect to exude much tangible feeling." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
28 Days Later (2003) |
"Holds a handful of chilling scenes and unforgettable images, but its cumulative effect is one of disappointment and missed opportunities." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
28 Weeks Later (2007) |
"28 Days Later had its moments, to be sure, but 28 Weeks Later is the real deal--scarier, darker, uncompromising, and more emotionally complex." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
30 Days of Night (2007) |
"For a horror picture being released only weeks before Halloween, 30 Days of Night doesn't thrill and it definitely doesn't spook." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
300 (2007) |
"A big-screen adaptation of Men's Health and Fitness magazine, 300 is about as involving as sitting in front of a video game demo at Best Buy." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
3000 Miles to Graceland (2001) |
"Remains an uneasy, uncomfortable balance between a comedic romp and something remarkably darker." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
3:10 to Yuma (2007) |
"There is nothing overwhelmingly bad about the finished product, but there is also nothing, save for a performance or two, that inspires the viewer to sit up and take notice." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
40 Days and 40 Nights (2002) |
"Immature, predictable, and annoying." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005) |
"A good-hearted entertainment with real crossover appeal. Successful enough to leave viewers with a warm feeling inside and a smile on their face." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
50 First Dates (2004) |
"Nowhere near as good as The Wedding Singer...but what Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore share on film is most certainly no flash in the pan." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
500 Days of Summer (2009) |
"Funny, poignant and uncommonly perceptive, growing all the more so the longer one thinks about it." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
8 Mile (2002) |
"A by-the-numbers storyline, complete with character actions that don't make a lick of sense because of how underdeveloped they are." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
88 Minutes (2008) |
"Could have used more innovation and less strained obviousness as it worked its way toward an underwhelming conclusion." |
