Like a great book, Beloved builds up, through accretion of detail, so much information and revelation that we begin to live the lives with these people.

As a serious study of vapid youth, Cruel Intentions vacillates between the cynically pretentious and the shallowly silly.

It plays like a magazine article: some interesting facts, no drama. Not many laughs either, in case director Mike Newell thought he was making a comedy.

Pushing Tin (1999)50%

What a lousy movie!

You probably can't blame Chow for The Corruptor. No way he could outmaneuver the director and the writers. The only thing in The Corruptor more catastrophic than the car chases is the script.

The Matrix flings around enough imaginative ideas and digitized bodies to make it a definite check-out-this-one for all science-fiction fans.

The Matrix (1999)86%

Spectacle, rowdy adventure and supernatural horror all crammed into a raucous two hours of high-testosterone special-effects filmmaking!
