"Lom, and the children, find balance and hope." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune
Posted Apr 19, 2007
 
On a Tightrope (2006)n/a
/
4/4
 
"A hilarious, poignant documentary from Mark Wexler, son of famous cinematographer Haskell Wexler, about his irascible, politically headstrong father." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune
Posted Apr 14, 2005
 
Tell Them Who You Are (2005)86%
/
2/4
 
"Must decency be dull?" -- Seattle Times
Posted Jan 14, 2005
 
Coach Carter (2005)63%
/
0.5/4
 
"It's opaque where it should be clear (motivations; fight scenes). It's clear where it should be opaque (what happens next)." -- Seattle Times
Posted Jan 14, 2005
 
Elektra (2005)9%
/
3/4
 
"It's Ratanaruang's stylish direction that recommends the movie." -- Seattle Times
Posted Dec 31, 2004
 
6ixtynin9 (2004)94%

1/4
 
"A nauseating mélange." -- Seattle Times
Posted Dec 17, 2004
 
The Manson Family (2004)69%
/

Posted Dec 8, 2004
 
Blade: Trinity (2004)27%

3/4
 
"Overnight is a pungent documentary that details the awful, groping evanescence of Hollywood buzz." -- Seattle Times
Posted Dec 3, 2004
 
Overnight (2004)79%
/
1.5/4
 
"You want to yell 'Focus!' not at the projectionist in the booth but at the activists on the screen." -- Seattle Times

Posted Oct 29, 2004
 
End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones (2004)95%
/
4/4

Posted Oct 22, 2004
 
Surviving Christmas (2004)7%
/
1.5/4
 
"Tsai is hugely popular with film critics, I believe, in part because film critics actually have something to do while watching his films. While the girl is limping down the hallway, we can take notes. Regular theatergoers? They can only watch helplessly." -- Seattle Times
Posted Oct 15, 2004
 
Goodbye Dragon Inn (2004)81%
/
1/4

The Final Cut (2004)37%
/
2/4
 
"The movie, sadly, wants us to be all warm and cozy. It wants to tuck us into bed. Try not to fall asleep." -- Seattle Times

2.5/4
 
"It feels lightweight and forgettable." -- Seattle Times

Thérèse (2004)11%
/
1.5/4
 
"The doc focuses exclusively on Robert Moog, and Robert Moog is, well, kind of boring." -- Seattle Times
Posted Sep 24, 2004
 
Moog (2005)29%
/
1.5/4
 
"A bland, straightforward documentary about an insane sport." -- Seattle Times

"Don't waste your money. Please. Spare our culture some last semblance of dignity by ignoring National Lampoon's Gold Diggers altogether." -- Seattle Times

/
2.5/4

Time of the Wolf (2003)65%

"It's purposely, triumphantly stupid." -- Seattle Times
Posted Aug 20, 2004
 
Battlefield Baseball (2003)78%
/
2/4
 
"AVP will probably satisfy its fans' most basic desires. But, like most sugar rushes, it won't satisfy them for long." -- Seattle Times
Posted Aug 16, 2004
 
Alien vs. Predator (2004)22%
/
2/4
 
"It's a distinct, fully realized and fascinating world; it's the story Winterbottom places in the foreground that's unfulfilling." -- Seattle Times
Posted Aug 13, 2004
 
Code 46 (2004)52%
/
3.5/4
 
"A small, respectful corrective." -- Seattle Times
Posted Jul 23, 2004
 
Twilight Samurai (2004)98%
/
3/4
 
"As faulty as its titular subject, but it raises important questions and will probably get your blood boiling." -- Seattle Times
Posted Jul 23, 2004
 
The Hunting of the President (2004)73%
/
3/4
 
"Sensual and sweet." -- Seattle Times

Around the World in 80 Days (2004)31%
/
1.5/4
 
"Diesel makes a fine action star, and some of the fight scenes are cool, but resistance is recommended." -- Seattle Times

Chronicles of Riddick (2004)29%
/
1.5/4
 
"Independent films like to equate smallness with authenticity, but sometimes, unfortunately, they're just small." -- Seattle Times
Posted May 28, 2004
 
A Slipping Down Life (2004)26%
/
2/4
 
"There are few things more boring than cool. Cool keeps to itself; cool doesn't reveal itself. For cool to be cool, it has to be part of a larger story. Here it's not." -- Seattle Times
Posted May 21, 2004
 
Coffee and Cigarettes (2004)64%
/
0.5/4
 
"Here's the mystery for me. How did questions that started out so vast and existential swirl down into something so small and loopy and pathetic?" -- Seattle Times
Posted May 20, 2004

/
3/4
 
"Unexpected plot twists keep us interested." -- Seattle Times

Sacred Planet (2003)61%
/
1/4
 
"The Whole Nine Yards was only about a yard short of being a worthwhile comedy back in 2000, but its sequel, The Whole Ten Yards, doesn't even manage to get onto the playing field." -- Seattle Times
Posted Apr 9, 2004
 
The Whole Ten Yards (2004)5%
/
2/4
 
"It's a straightforward, unimaginative narrative, and thus not very memorable." -- Seattle Times
Posted Apr 2, 2004
 
The Gospel of John (2003)38%
/
2.5/4
 
"The panoramic views of various island locations are, of course, gorgeous, and inspire a kind of giddy vertigo." -- Seattle Times
Posted Mar 26, 2004
 
Coral Reef Adventure (2002)90%
/
2/4
 
"The movie's almost good enough to wash the bad taste of the first Scooby-Doo movie from our mouths. Almost." -- Seattle Times
Posted Mar 26, 2004
 
Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004)20%
/
2.5/4
 
"Its rampant corporate sponsorship is messy and distracting, and the athleticism necessary to triumph is still less intriguing (perhaps because it's less visible) than the athleticism necessary to triumph in, say, baseball." -- Seattle Times
Posted Mar 12, 2004
 
NASCAR: The Imax Experience (2004)60%
/
2/4
 
"The great documentary about Hong Kong stuntmen, and their relationship to the Beijing Opera, still needs to be made." -- Seattle Times
Posted Mar 5, 2004
 
Red Trousers (2003)25%
/
1.5/4
 
"OK, so they made a movie bad enough to be on Mystery Science Theater 3000. But MST3K was watchable despite its bad films, not because of them." -- Seattle Times
Posted Feb 20, 2004
 
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (2004)53%
/
2/4
 
"The film is often shallow and predictable. But it's not painfully stupid in a Just Married kind of way." -- Seattle Times
Posted Feb 20, 2004
 
Eurotrip (2004)46%
/
2.5/4
 
"Despite its high concept, director Bart Freundlich keeps the film grounded in reality." -- Seattle Times
Posted Feb 6, 2004
 
Catch That Kid (2004)11%
/
2.5/4
 
"It's still funny and warm and neighborly inside Calvin's barbershop; it's just a little predictable as soon as you step outside." -- Seattle Times
Posted Feb 6, 2004
 
Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2004)69%
/
3/4
 
"Joy! An animated feature that parents don't have to silently groan through." -- Seattle Times
Posted Jan 16, 2004
 
Teacher's Pet (2004)76%
/
2.5/4
 
"Less a movie than a testament to marketing." -- Seattle Times
Posted Dec 25, 2003
 
Cheaper by the Dozen (2003)23%
