The Acid House (1998)47%
/

Blood Simple (1984)98%

" The rest of the film is on autopilot, with comic material that's spread thinner than the lone brain cell the Butabis share." -- Film Journal International
Posted Sep 9, 2002
 
A Night at the Roxbury (1998)10%
/
 
" Despite its thinness, No Looking Back is a step forward for Burns. Let's hope he takes the title to heart." -- Film Journal International
Posted Sep 9, 2002
 
No Looking Back (1998)36%
/
 
" Non-Stop ends in a flurry of ill-defined thugs pointing guns at one another in flimsily established face-offs, and none of it supports the story the film wants to tell." -- Film Journal International
Posted Sep 9, 2002
 
Non-Stop (1996)40%
/
 
" A moviegoer looking for an empty-headed waste of time could do worse." -- Film Journal International

Eternity and a Day (1998)95%
/
 
" Feels all too much like a tiring run." -- Film Journal International
Posted Aug 27, 2001
 
Rat Race (2001)43%
/
 
" Too shallow to enthrall, and it lacks the visceral energy to sustain itself as a genre piece." -- Film Journal International
Posted Aug 15, 2001
 
Cure (2001)93%
/
 
" It's not often in an action flick as big and loud as this that the most intimate gesture between the male and female lead is a gracious offering of brightly colored shrimp chips." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jul 30, 2001
 
Kiss of the Dragon (2001)51%
/
 
" The characters in Final Fantasy are truly artificial in more ways than one." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jul 24, 2001
 
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001)44%
/
 
" Despite its fine cast, this first feature by British writer-director Ben Hopkins is more clumsily realized than many a misfire in recent memory." -- Film Journal International
Posted Mar 29, 2001
 
Simon Magus (2001)62%
/
 
" Well before the 80 minutes are up, most parents will probably tune out, but the little kids will surely feel like they are inside one fantastic candy store." -- Film Journal International
Posted Mar 29, 2001
 
Spy Kids (2001)93%
/
 
" Emotional subtlety and narrative logic were never quite in the cards for this movie to begin with." -- Film Journal International
Posted Mar 5, 2001
 
Sweet November (2001)16%
/
 
" It's unpretentious almost to the point of indifference, and thus never quite wrangles enough passion or conflict to fuel the story forward." -- Film Journal International
Posted Feb 7, 2001
 
An Everlasting Piece (2000)53%
/
 
" Screenplay also telegraphs the fates of both characters from very early on, a decision that sucks out a great deal of potential suspense and drama." -- Film Journal International
Posted Feb 7, 2001
 
One (2000)67%
/
 
" The densely boisterous, richly colorful, organically amazing world created here is a relentless joy to behold." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
A Bug's Life (1998)91%
/
 
" A surprisingly effective piece of work." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
A Simple Plan (1998)91%
/
 
" After a very funny first half-hour into Analyze This, it becomes painfully apparent that it's really just a skit masquerading as a feature film." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Analyze This (1998)67%
/
 
" Never transcending the cliches and predictability of its genre, but also maintaining a level of excitement with its likeable, engaging characters." -- Film Journal International

" Grounding all the mayhem in emotional priority is the little pig that could." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Babe: Pig in the City (1998)61%
/
 
" Little more than a series of innocuous adventures that just happen to be inhabited by the same character." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Beaumarchais the Scoundrel (1996)70%
/
 
" If Beloved, for all its individual moments of power and grace, does not ultimately add up to much, it's because Demme and the screenwriters can never find the means to get underneath the skin of the story's dread." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Beloved (1998)77%
/
 
" Surprisingly candid, comprehensive and, most of all, emotional exposé of the wrestling business." -- Film Journal International

Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000)13%
/
 
" With so many satirical targets and such a mad, busy stage, getting through this shrill, tiresome film is another story altogether." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Breakfast of Champions (1999)25%
/
 
" What turns out to be the scariest thing about Bride of Chucky is its shockingly large box-office take so far, proving just how critic-proof and taste-proof some movies can be." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Bride of Chucky (1998)43%
/
 
" Far messier and more corrupt than the society it attempts to portray." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Brokedown Palace (1998)27%
/
 
" Barely thought-out jumble of Hollywood conventions dashed together in the pursuit of the almighty quick buck." -- Film Journal International

Chill Factor (1999)7%

" The characters and their emotions are painted with a big, sloppy brush. Texas-sized." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Dancer, Texas (1998)79%

" The whole film feels superimposed, while the story underneath remains frozen and lifeless." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Deceiver (1997)44%
/
 
" Certainly a mark above Allen's most recent works--it's refreshing to see an artist spreading his wings this wide." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Deconstructing Harry (1997)71%
/
 
" Takes a comically cockeyed path in its attempt to provide a hopeful view of humanity, but its true success is more modest. It shows that there just may be hope for Kevin Smith." -- Film Journal International

Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999)45%
/
 
" When a movie's trailer is more entertaining than the movie, due to its increased lucidity and more relaxed pace, that should be enough to tip off any filmmaker that he's on the wrong track." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Enemy of the State (1998)71%
/
 
" Never quite manages to be its own film." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Eve's Bayou (1997)80%
/
 
" There isn't a single believable second in this film with the structure and tone of a sincere romantic comedy is a problem even Captain Kirk would have trouble solving." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Free Enterprise (1999)82%
/
 
" A film that treats its human audience with as much respect as its less-evolved subjects." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Free Willy 3: The Rescue (1997)40%

" A loony bouillabaisse of genres and cliches." -- Film Journal International

Goodbye Lover (1999)30%
/
 
" The film, in spite of any plot, is one sketch after another, some of which fall flat, some of which fall flatter." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Half Baked (1998)26%
/
 
" It's nothing more than unadulterated slapstick, and slapstick is pretty much critic-proof." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Home Alone 3 (1997)24%
/
 
" A collection of elements rather than a distinct story, the film takes what should have been a fresh perspective on the genre and paints by numbers." -- Film Journal International
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Hoodlum (1997)41%
/
 
" As midnight movies go, this one is pretty mediocre, and most of its weakness derives from a certain lack of comic inspiration." -- Film Journal International
