"[A] stylish hybrid of futuristic thriller and film noir."
Posted Apr 28, 2008
 
Dark City (1998)75%
/
 
"The originals were spoofs in their own way, too, unless you really believe that secret agents look more like Sean Connery than Aldrich Ames."
Posted Apr 1, 2008
 
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997)67%
/
 
"The wholesome pup's poker face alone, however, hardly accounts for the film's failure to thrill. Damon's character doesn't really have that much stake in the story's outcome."
Posted Mar 25, 2008
 
Rounders (1998)64%
/
 
"Sufferin' succotash!"
Posted Mar 24, 2008
 
Space Jam (1996)37%

"Maybe the moviemakers' mission was to boldly go where everyone in Hollywood has gone before: the bank."
Posted Mar 5, 2008
 
Independence Day (1996)62%
/
 
"An edgy, gabby, salaciously subversive sex farce."
Posted Feb 12, 2008
 
Two Girls and a Guy (1997)50%
/
 
"What Sharon Stone did for the ice pick, Linda Fiorentino does for the ice princess."
Posted Feb 12, 2008
 
The Last Seduction (1995)96%
/
 
"A lot goes on, but the movie remains uneventful. It sizzles with soul-searching."
Posted Jan 15, 2008
 
Bandits (1986)n/a

"Contact takes forever to lift off."
Posted Jun 8, 2007
 
Contact (1997)65%

"Cruise seems to have grown as much as Jerry, for he brings gentleness, warmth and lightheartedness to this role, qualities that we haven't seen since he played air guitar in his underpants in Risky Business 13 years ago."
Posted Mar 26, 2007
 
Jerry Maguire (1996)83%
/
 
"No comedian was ever funnier, no fighter ever faster than Muhammad Ali, who is caught at the top of his game in Leon Gast's valentine, When We Were Kings."
Posted Mar 26, 2007
 
When We Were Kings (1996)97%

How to Make Love to a Negro Without Getting Tired (1989)n/a
/
4/5
 
"Like Robin Williams, Carrey has learned to do his side-splitting shtick in character. He's not only under control, but funnier than ever as the truth-impaired Fletcher Reede."
Posted Apr 26, 2003
 
Liar Liar (1997)79%
/
 
"Has echoes of The Wonder Years to On Golden Pond, though with fewer laughs and less poignancy."
Posted Apr 25, 2003
 
It Runs in the Family (2003)28%
/
 
"So solemnly paced and deliberately performed that it seems to solidify before your very eyes."
Posted Apr 25, 2003
 
Levity (2003)34%
/
 
"Mendoza alleges she took on the negligible project to demonstrate the diversity of Hispanic American womanhood. What she demonstrates is a clear grasp of stereotype."
Posted Apr 16, 2003
 
Chasing Papi (2003)13%
/
 
"Nolte is not only made for the role, he's also rehearsed it in real life."
Posted Apr 11, 2003
 
The Good Thief (2003)77%
/
 
"Wickedly clever French psycho-thriller about romantic obsession."
Posted Apr 4, 2003
 
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (2003)72%
/
 
"Though the comedy falls short of a debacle -- which is what such egocentric projects tend to be -- it isn't as sharp, fast or funny as Rock's stand-up routines."
Posted Mar 28, 2003
 
Head of State (2003)30%
/
 
"This consistently absorbing family saga is primarily a safari of the soul."
Posted Mar 28, 2003
 
Nowhere in Africa (2003)85%
/
 
"Sloppily made, poky, extra cheesy adventure."
Posted Mar 28, 2003
 
The Core (2003)42%

"You seldom leave a theater walking on air, much less float all through a movie. But the joyous Bend It Like Beckham never lets you down."
Posted Mar 28, 2003
 
Bend It Like Beckham (2003)85%

"A smutty, imbecilic farce."
Posted Mar 21, 2003
 
Boat Trip (2003)7%

"Sure it's slight, but also as cute as the curly tail on its tender protagonist."
Posted Mar 21, 2003
 
Piglet's Big Movie (2003)77%
/
 
"A good ride, briskly paced, well played and vividly photographed."
Posted Mar 14, 2003
 
The Hunted (2003)32%
/
 
"Sorely lacking in suspense, humor or originality, Agent Cody Banks aspires to the lowest rung of the peanut gallery."
Posted Mar 14, 2003
 
Agent Cody Banks (2003)38%
/
 
"An embarrassment for all concerned, this witless, odd-couple comedy slings separate but equal gibes at blacks and whites... and still manages to ridicule gays and Hispanics."
Posted Mar 7, 2003
 
Bringing Down the House (2003)34%
/
 
"The cast seems to have burrowed into the material."
Posted Mar 7, 2003
 
Open Hearts (2003)96%

"It's saying something when Tom Arnold's performance is among the movie's highlights."
Posted Feb 28, 2003
 
Cradle 2 the Grave (2003)25%
/
 
"It isn't wildly imaginative, but its subjects are novel enough in their own right."
Posted Feb 28, 2003
 
The Ballad of Bering Strait (2002)67%
/
 
"This movie's enough to give you a big fat Greek dreading."
Posted Feb 22, 2003
 
Old School (2003)59%
/
 
"After two hours of bludgeoning by Parker's moralistic mallet, even those who came in sympathetic to his views may leave with second thoughts."
Posted Feb 21, 2003
 
The Life of David Gale (2003)20%

"A joyous genre-blender guaranteed to crank up your karma."

"Unfortunately, the story isn't inventive and Newell's methodical approach to it verges on monotony."
