"This is the real thing, and real things don't come along very often, so you'd better snap them up when they do."
Posted Feb 10, 2007
 
The English Patient (1996)84%
/
 
"Welles gives Harry a mask of irony that turns all moral judgment back on itself. He turns a mass murderer into a wry rogue, and makes his villainy all the more horrifying because we rather like him."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
The Third Man (1949)100%
/
 
"A well-executed scene can be followed by another where Clark shows no sense of the tone of which he'd just been in such tight control."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Another Day in Paradise (1998)58%
/
3/4
 
"Dahlström and especially Liljeberg are first-rate."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Show Me Love (1998)90%
/
 
"If the remainder of this century will bring a lamer film than Baby Geniuses, may I please be in Estonia when it comes."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Baby Geniuses (1999)3%
/
 
"Mail may not be as romantic as Sleepless, but it's wittier."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
You've Got Mail (1998)68%
/
 
"All the work is top-notch."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Magnolia (1999)84%
/
 
"Completely delightful movie."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Waking Ned Devine (1998)82%
/
 
"If you're the type who doesn't mind jigsaw puzzles unassembling themselves as you assemble them, if you enjoy enigmas and don't need explanations, the film just might work for you."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Open Your Eyes (1997)84%
/
 
"You sometimes have to giggle at this movie the way you do when you catch 4-year-olds playing dress-up in front of Mom's closet."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Cruel Intentions (1999)48%
 No Rating  
"Almodovar has called his near-unique creations 'screwball drama.' This finds him working at his best."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
All About My Mother (1999)99%
/
 
"It is hard to mix moods -- the film is manic, subtle, comic and vaguely sad -- but [Jonze] does it masterfully."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Being John Malkovich (1999)92%
/
 
"It's a literary burlesque, remarkably clever and quick on its feet. It is ardently romantic but is at its best when it is funny. And it's funny."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Shakespeare in Love (1998)93%
/
 
"Although it works on two levels, one thing makes it work for any age: the sense of the id unloosed."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
The Rugrats Movie (1998)55%
/
 
"Kubrick, exactly in character, has left us as the unchallengeable champion of the enigma."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Eyes Wide Shut (1999)78%
/
 
"What makes the character so poignant is that her final fortification is not her street wisdom -- that's all surface -- but her innocence. Her ultimate protection is our sympathy for her."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Nights of Cabiria (1957)97%
/
 
"The film is amiably goofy."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
The Waterboy (1998)30%
/
 
"Parker has made a sensible cinematic translation of Wilde's play, intercutting scenes which would have been played consecutively on the stage."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
An Ideal Husband (1999)86%
/
 
"Funny-sweet, understand, not bleccchh sweet."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Big Daddy (1999)40%
/
 
"This is a deeply engrossing, often exquisite film by someone who knows visuals. It's sensory, sensual, handmade."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Besieged (1998)73%
/
 
"Maybe 90 seconds of viable and sustained humor at the end."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Idle Hands (1999)16%
/
 
"The film is delightfully unpredictable, warm, nuanced. It's civilized entertainment."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Autumn Tale (1998)94%
/
 
"Neither Trey Callaway, who wrote the script, nor Danny Cannon, who directed the sequel, bring any new ideas to the genre. Cut 'em some slack: That surely was their marching orders."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998)6%
/
 
"The handsomely animated Prince of Egypt is an amalgam of Hollywood biblical epic, Broadway supermusical and nice Sunday school lesson."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
The Prince of Egypt (1998)79%
/
 
"The deliciousness of watching the film as it's intended to be seen is that the big screen gives Rear Window back its claustrophobia."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Rear Window (1954)100%
/
 
"Berkowitz is a rather annoying person."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
20 Dates (1998)40%
/
 
"If there is sacrilege afoot, I'm not enough of a scholar to spot it."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999)68%
/
 
"Remove the directorial flash and filigree, and its narrative would be easier to track."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Eye of the Beholder (1999)10%
/
 
"The film hasn't much entertainment value for those much over the age of 10. There's not a thing in the world wrong with that."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Doug's 1st Movie (1999)30%
/
 
"The producers of this film, which depicts teen-age girls as an assemblage of negative stereotypes, are female. Can females practice misogyny?"
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Jawbreaker (1998)7%
/
 
"The special effects vary from OK to lame to very lame."
Posted Jul 5, 2002
 
Escape From L.A. (1996)58%
/
 
"The film reaches right out to grab us by the neck and squeeze hard."
Posted Feb 2, 2002
 
Das Boot (1982)96%
/
 
"If you like 'em busy, this sequel is for you."
Posted Jul 24, 2001
 
Batman & Robin (1997)12%
/
 
"The film is entirely within the caught-on-the-run tradition of cinema verite, which makes it all the grittier and its conclusion all the more wrenching."
Posted Feb 21, 2001
 
La Promesse (1996)94%
/
 
"This produces some rather nasty-funny surprises."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
2 Days In The Valley (1996)63%

"The party never gets started."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
54 (1998)13%

"Air Force One gets the job done."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Air Force One (1997)78%
/
 
"I can't remember the last time I've seen a mainstream, big-studio release this well-acted."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
American Beauty (1999)89%
/
 
"Halfway into Amistad comes the point where Steven Spielberg pulls the lever, and the stink and horror and bestialities of slavery spill around our ankles. We can't look away."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Amistad (1997)79%
/
 
"Odd feminist fun."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Antonia's Line (1995)63%
/
 
"Action largely undifferentiated."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Any Given Sunday (1999)48%
/
 
"Anywhere But Here brought me to tears often, but it was not that often when something sad happened."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Anywhere But Here (1999)64%
/
 
"The film is hugely entertaining."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
As Good as It Gets (1997)89%
/
 
"Even at its best, it's not very funny."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997)67%
/
 
"Portman was memorable as the little girl in The Professional, but her work here throws off an eeriness in its revelation of such huge talent in one so young."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Beautiful Girls (1996)79%
/
 
"If Beautiful Thing were any more sensitive, it would faint."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Beautiful Thing (1996)89%
/
 
"The humor the premise throws off is supposed to be funny. It just isn't."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Beverly Hills Ninja (1996)15%
/
 
"It will paste a big, sloppy smile on your face from its opening moment. Good luck at dislodging it."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Big Night (1996)96%
/
 
"Yeah, I giggled a couple of times. But I suspect you will giggle more if you are male, age 15-27ish."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Black Sheep (1996)29%
/
 
"Blue Streak falls victim to bad cliches."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Blue Streak (1999)36%
