The Man in the Iron Mask (1998)31%

Constantine (2005)46%
/
2.5/4
 
" You may find yourself wishing for something more consequential; just because romantic comedies are supposed to be sweet doesn’t mean they have to dissolve like sugar, too." -- Kinnopio's Movie Reviews

The Wedding Date (2005)10%
/
1/4
 
" Less a coherent motion picture than a series of fight scenes and shootouts that feature abysmally unconvincing special effects." -- Kinnopio's Movie Reviews
Posted Jan 28, 2005
 
Alone in the Dark (2005)1%
/
2.5/4
 
" A familiar, unremarkable shoot-em-up: low on tension, suspense, and plot, and high on bullets, clichés, and one-liners." -- Kinnopio's Movie Reviews
Posted Jan 14, 2005
 
Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)61%

Racing Stripes (2005)34%

3.5/4
 
" The French version of Cold Mountain, a romance of epic proportions that thinks it’s a war picture." -- Kinnopio's Movie Reviews
Posted Jan 10, 2005
 
A Very Long Engagement (2004)77%
/
2/4

Darkness (2003)4%
/
2.5/4
 
" It deviates from the teen genre enough to suggest that Scarlett Johnasson is more concerned with the lateral boundaries of her range than the vertical ones." -- Kinnopio's Movie Reviews
Posted Jan 2, 2005
 
A Love Song for Bobby Long (2004)42%
/
3/4
 
" Not as good as Wes Anderson's two best movies, The Royal Tenenbaums and Rushmore, but it still offers a broad sample of his distinct style." -- Kinnopio's Movie Reviews

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004)52%

" Not the best way to get your feet wet when it comes to the world of the franchise’s frenetically goofy sponge-hero." -- Kinnopio's Movie Reviews

After the Sunset (2004)19%

Ray (2004)82%
/
3.5/4
 
" The terrifically honest, emotional, and heartfelt performance given by Imelda Staunton should win over viewers regardless of their opinions on the subject matter." -- Kinnopio's Movie Reviews

Vera Drake (2004)92%
/
2/4
 
" I’ll put up with the necessary evil of product placement to a certain extent, but I also require a decent narrative. This movie feels like a 90-minute KFC commercial." -- Kinnopio's Movie Reviews

Team America: World Police (2004)78%

Raise Your Voice (2004)16%

1/4
 
" About 60 or 70 jokes fall flat in this movie, which wouldn’t know comedy if it was written in block letters on the side of the Empire State Building." -- Kinnopio's Movie Reviews
