" 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%

" 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%
/
 
" If you are a Gilbert and Sullivan buff, you will be in heaven. If you are not, the first thing you will need to know is that the film is nearly three hours long."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Topsy-Turvy (1999)90%

" 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)47%
/
 
" What De Niro ends up doing is simply burlesquing himself, much as he would do if he were guest-hosting Saturday Night Live."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Analyze This (1998)67%
/
 
" Maybe 90 seconds of viable and sustained humor at the end."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Idle Hands (1999)16%
/
 
" 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%

" Berkowitz is a rather annoying person."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
20 Dates (1998)40%

" Remove the directorial flash and filigree, and its narrative would be easier to track."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
Eye of the Beholder (1999)9%
/
 
" 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%
/
 
" Want to know what happens when an A-list director and A-list movie star attach themselves to a direct-to-cable screenplay? This."
Posted Jul 21, 2005
 
8MM (1998)22%
/
 
" The special effects vary from OK to lame to very lame."
Posted Jul 5, 2002
 
Escape From L.A. (1996)59%

54 (1998)13%

" Action largely undifferentiated."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Any Given Sunday (1999)49%
/
 
" Even at its best, it's not very funny."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997)67%
/
 
" 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%
/
 
" 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%
/
 
" The narrative is very complex, but what's on the screen is little more than generic, non-narrative-specific, guy-being-chased stuff."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Chain Reaction (1996)7%
/
 
" The comedy is lame, the action tired, tired, tired."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Chill Factor (1999)7%
/
 
" If Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo were required to take a standardized test, its IQ would plot out lower than Jose Lima's ERA."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999)24%

" When Smith's not practicing the humor of outrage, he's preaching to a choir highly likely to be perplexed."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Dogma (1999)68%
/
 
" Beresford's straight-ahead approach to the material, as a heart-tugger, is 180 degrees wrong."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Double Jeopardy (1999)26%
/
 
" This is of interest only to the hard core of Schwarzenegger's army."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
End of Days (1999)11%
/
 
" The vast majority of me -- which is not 11 -- wanted several times to run screaming into the lobby and plunge my head into the nacho hot-cheese cauldron."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Good Burger (1997)31%
/
 
" Even at 80 minutes, Heavy would have been weighted with redundancies. So you can imagine what happened on the way to making it 105 minutes long."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Heavy (1994)86%
/
2.5/5
 
" The payoff is less effective. It involves several teen-scream modules, such as the $1.98 Startle Effect; the Hand on the Shoulder; and the Is He Dead Yet? gambit."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)38%
/
 
" Plot not deep enough."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
In Too Deep (1999)36%

" Movies about making movies are never quite as interesting as the people who make them think they're going to be."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Irma Vep (1996)91%

" Only funny if you enjoy going out and paying for the kind of comedy writing you can stay at home and get free on sitcoms."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Isn't She Great (2000)25%
/
 
" The film leans from the comedic to the near-mawkish."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Jakob the Liar (1999)30%
/
 
" Let's just say that if you find it arbitrary and more an expression of Altman's feelings about class than the outcome of his story, then we are in agreement."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Kansas City (1996)59%
/
 
" Kundun is ceaselessly lovely to look at. But it is also exquisitely, meticulously, intently (gulp) ... dull."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Kundun (1997)75%
/
 
" The problem with this film is that the filmmakers want Kaufman to emerge as a kind of innocent while their biographical due diligence indicates that Kaufman was a head case."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Man on the Moon (1999)60%
/
 
" Director Frears seems more interested in the atmosphere than the narrative."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Mary Reilly (1996)28%
/
 
" I didn't laugh once, not even giggle."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
McHale's Navy (1997)4%

" Reminds us of other films that used similar devices better."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Mickey Blue Eyes (1999)46%

" Quite simply, Most Wanted is hack work, from every word of Wayans' screenplay to every exposed frame of David Glenn Hogan's direction."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Most Wanted (1997)17%
/
 
" Here's where I'm supposed to suggest how the film might be better. But I can't think of anything to say other than to make the film again, with different writers and a new director."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Mr. Magoo (1997)4%
/
 
" For its first three laps, this inspirational - teacher movie moves too slowly, even with the head start I give inspirational - teacher movies."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Music of the Heart (1999)68%
/
 
" Overpopulated with characters."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Mystery, Alaska (1999)38%

" There's not much to stop for in Wonderland."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Next Stop Wonderland (1997)74%
/
 
" I must admit I didn't hear every word. Some were muffled by my groans."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Outside Providence (1999)51%
/
 
" Waters works best with some restrictions on his license. He's much better as a subversive than he is an anarchist."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Pink Flamingos (1972)82%
/
 
" The screenplay, credited to Twohy with Jim and Ken Wheat, for a scary movie hasn't a scary idea on any of its pages."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Pitch Black (2000)54%
/
 
" OK for laughs but less OK for emotional investment with the characters, who feel more like comic constructs than the real-feeling guys."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Play it to the Bone (1999)12%
/
 
" May and Nichols may not be right for the material, especially the Searching for Jimmy Stewart component, which feels more labored as the film proceeds."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Primary Colors (1998)81%
/
 
" I'd rather see the thriller in the trailer, about a plane crash, infidelity and scandal."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Random Hearts (1999)15%
/
 
" There are bits of the three-episode Rendezvous in Paris that are, if not like watching paint dry, like watching the painter spackle the picture-hook holes and edge around the windows."
