"The kind of movie that people will discover new and hilarious ways to mock for years to come." |

The 11th Hour (2007) |
"Its foretelling of gloom and doom almost make the entire idea of worrying about the global climate change crisis seem unnecessary, seeing as we're all apparently going to die by our own industrialized hands." |

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) |
"Not a good movie or a consistently solid action flick, but it is a big step up. I guess that's not much of a compliment considering what it is an improvement over, but take it for what it's worth." |

2000 Year-in-Review (2000) |

2001 Year-in-Review (2001) |
"The year 2001 will not be remembered for its films. Far too many more important things happened in the world for anyone to realistically say otherwise." |

2002 Year-in-Review (2002) |

2012 (2009) |
"There's so much ambitious spectacle, but it's surrounded by so many lazy contrivances that one would want to gasp in astonishment if one weren't chuckling and groaning in aggravation so often." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
24 Hour Party People (2002) |
"Director Michael Winterbottom has pulled off an inspired act of self-referencing, post-modern filmmaking that does these people, their attitude, their home, their music, and their legacy proud." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2.5/4 |
25th Hour (2002) |
"Features a number of scenes of individual power that, ultimately, do not add up to a film of the same level." |

3:10 to Yuma (2007) |

40 Days and 40 Nights (2002) |
"A dulling experience. The movie screams been there, done that and offers nothing new to the table." |

8 Mile (2002) |
"Then there are the rap sequences where Eminem displays an energy close to unrivaled by any performance this year. In these scenes, he and the film show what they’re really made of." |
