Tomato 3.5/4 |
O (2001) |
"As unflinchingly honest as any so-called 'teen' film to come out in ages...one of the most thought-provoking motion pictures of the year." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Observe and Report (2009) |
"By taking chances and freeing itself of a safety net, the picture arrives as a welcome respite to the same-old, same-old." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Obsessed (2009) |
"A predictable, trashily entertaining time-filler. There are signs in the first half that it could have been more than that, and this is why disappointment sets in." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Ocean's Eleven (2001) |
"A hip, joyfully contemporary retelling of its vintage predecessor, but someone of director Steven Soderbergh's caliber deserves slightly better than this material." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Ocean's Thirteen (2007) |
"Danny Ocean and company ought to seriously consider retirement." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Ocean's Twelve (2004) |
"So full of shameless vanity that each ticket stub should come with a mirror, a make-up case, and a high-priced plastic surgeon." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
October Sky (1999) |
"It is ultimately in the exact performances and writing that are the primary reasons October Sky works so well." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
The Oh in Ohio (2006) |
"Its coarse opening sections are ill-matched for the warmly compassionate tale it ultimately matures into." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Old Dogs (2009) |
"A flawed but likable piece of fluff with zany antics and earnest sentiment to spare. Its infectious energy and naively big heart gradually win you over." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Old School (2003) |
"Neither funny nor likable nor charming nor particularly entertaining, Old School is a big-screen comedic bust that flunks out in every department." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Omen (2006) |
"Goes to show that magic can't always strike twice—not even when virtually the same script is used." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
On the Line (2001) |
"A slight, cute charmer that, as far as pop-singers-turned-actors goes, is infinitely superior to the hideous Glitter and the even more wretched Spice World." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat .5/4 |
The One (2001) |
"The One is one vacuous hole of a movie." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
One Hour Photo (2002) |
"A nightmarish portrait of the American Dream gone awry...digs deeply and touchingly into the psyche of a deranged human being who has nowhere to turn in life." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
One Missed Call (2008) |
"Puerile and low-rent, piggybacking on the fad of updating foreign horror films by dumbing them down for us American simpletons." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Open Range (2003) |
"Open Range is far from the worst film of the year, but it does test one's endurance like no other." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Open Season (2006) |
"A winsome piece of fluff that is easy on the eyes, the ears, and the heart" |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Open Water (2004) |
"A jittery, unapologetic experience worth a look for those who prefer psychological horror over broad slasher cliches." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Orange County (2002) |
"Orange County flies right by with the blink of an eye--not because it is necessarily too short, but because you are having so much fun that you don't want it to end." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1/4 |
The Order (2003) |
"A severely muddled, lethargically paced religion-based thriller without any thrills or even vague signs of entertainment value." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Original Sin (2001) |
"Features moments of sheer power and earnestness, and others that are so misdirected and ludicrously written, they have to be seen to be believed." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Orphan (2009) |
"An unnerving psychological thriller with the atmospheric elegance of classics like Rosemary's Baby, Don't Look Now and Dressed to Kill, masterful in its blends of style and substance, violence and mayhem." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Orphanage (2007) |
"The Orphanage is first and foremost a weighty, at times heartbreaking, existential study of the frailty of life, the mysteries of death, and the knowledge of one's own mortality. It is also very, very scary." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat |
Osmosis Jones (2001) |
"There is nothing worthy of recommending in Osmosis Jones." |
|
Splat 1.5/4 |
Osmosis Jones (2001) |
"The jokes are about as fresh as moldy bread run over by a dump truck." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) |
"Fascinating in its depiction of a troubled relationship between sisters that is anything but black and white. This emotionally ripe angle to a tragic story that could have been told any number of ways is where the film gets its potency." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Other Sister (1999) |
"One of the most genuinely sweet love stories to come along in quite some time." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Others (2001) |
"A disquieting, classy, superbly realized horror tale." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Out Cold (2001) |
"Not only unexpectedly enjoyable, but also kind of sweet." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Out of Time (2003) |
"The film never digs beyond its skin-deep roots." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Out-of-Towners (1999) |
"Fast-paced and enjoyable enough, aided by the dynamite duo of Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Outside Ozona (1998) |
"A peculiar mixture of several different film genres." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Outside Providence (1999) |
"Entertaining and charming, the film is one of the better, more accurate, 'coming-of-age' films to be released in awhile." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Over Her Dead Body (2008) |
"Thoroughly unoriginal and screams of desperation. Over Her Dead Body is a fitting title; this is a DOA dud." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Over the Hedge (2006) |
"2006 has not been a kind year to the animated genre and the empty, irresponsible Over the Hedge is so far the worst of the lot." |
