5/5
 
" Climb on and you'll experience one of the great joys of moviegoing: seeing something that's like nothing you've ever seen before." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Nov 10, 2004
 
The Polar Express (2004)57%
/
1/5
 
" The story becomes a long slog because Duigan doesn't define his characters and because he's determined to touch too many of the familiar '30s European bases." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Nov 5, 2004
 
Head in the Clouds (2004)15%
/
3/5
 
" The supporting cast of females (and Epps) is fun to watch, and the film boasts three original songs by Mick Jagger and Dave Stewart." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Nov 5, 2004
 
Alfie (2004)49%
/
4/5
 
" Neither a deep, psychological thriller nor a mindless slasher flick, this is one skillfully made, if admittedly superficial, creepout." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Oct 29, 2004
 
Saw (2004)46%
/
4/5
 
" Foxx helps us to truly understand how much Charles' blindness allows him to achieve, especially when combined with an innate wiliness." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Oct 29, 2004
 
Ray (2004)82%
/
2/5
 
" Possibly, this idea would have worked as comedy. Say, if the kid had said something like, 'I am dead people.'" -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Oct 29, 2004
 
Birth (2004)40%
/
2/5
 
" This premise sounds like the sort of a screwy, non-idea that a young film student might dream up while editing a documentary. And according to the press notes, that's just what happened." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Oct 15, 2004
 
The Final Cut (2004)38%
/
3/5
 
" The central idea -- that losing yourself in a small, private world can help you to better engage the larger world -- isn't lost in translation." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Oct 15, 2004
 
Shall We Dance? (2004)48%
/
2/5
 
" A documentary that doesn't always seem to be sure what it's documenting." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Oct 12, 2004
 
Monster Road (2004)86%
/
2/5
 
" The film goes on too long, repeats itself and has a reality-TV tendency to wallow in the tawdry." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Oct 8, 2004
 
Rockets Redglare! (2003)33%
/
2/5
 
" Amid the white walls and slick surfaces of this film, the characters seem more like lab rats than human beings." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Oct 8, 2004
 
Code 46 (2004)52%
/
2/5
 
" Has there ever been less chemistry between the stars of a 'buddy' movie?" -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Oct 6, 2004
 
Taxi (2004)11%
/
3/5
 
" We Don't Live Here Anymore is, you might say, a movie for adults who are, perhaps, a smidge too impressed with being adults." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Oct 1, 2004
 
We Don't Live Here Anymore (2004)65%
/
3/5
 
" For victims of abuse, watching this film may be a cathartic experience. For most moviegoers, it is, at its best, a sober look at a problem that is at last getting some of the attention it has always deserved." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Oct 1, 2004
 
Woman, Thou Art Loosed (2004)51%
/
4/5
 
" A briny, buoyant offer that you can't refuse." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Oct 1, 2004
 
Shark Tale (2004)33%
/
4/5
 
" A low-key, low-budget thriller that reminds us just how cruel young people can be." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Sep 24, 2004
 
Mean Creek (2004)90%
/
3/5
 
" If you yearn for a Brit fix, this is your flick. If not, think twice before checking it out." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Sep 24, 2004
 
Bright Young Things (2004)65%
/

Posted Sep 24, 2004
 
Shaun of the Dead (2004)91%
/
4/5
 
" You could wind up with whiplash watching this film, and that's a compliment." -- Orlando Sentinel

The Forgotten (2004)31%

3/5
 
" Zhou Yu's Train has its strengths, but it's clearly no bullet train." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Sep 17, 2004
 
Zhou Yu's Train (2004)41%
/
2/5
 
" Balsmeyer may remind you of the guy at the party who, after one too many shots, puts a lampshade on his head. It's funny for maybe a moment -- until you realize, to your horror, that he doesn't know when to stop." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Sep 17, 2004
 
Danny Deckchair (2004)54%
/
3/5
 
" There is something compelling about the way this film sneakily taps into our collective psychosexual fantasies." -- Orlando Sentinel

Gozu (2004)72%

Evergreen (2004)44%
/
3/5
 
" What comes across most strongly is how utterly trivial so much of this story now seems. Can we really have spent all that time, money and energy chewing over a land deal and worrying about a presidential dalliance?" -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Sep 3, 2004
 
The Hunting of the President (2004)73%
/
2/5
 
" After watching this chilly film, you won't cry for Argentina so much as you'll be scratching your head about it." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Sep 3, 2004
 
The Blonds (2004)63%
/
5/5
 
" [Nair] clearly loves these characters, the kind and unkind alike. And the proof of this is that she makes them all so marvelously vivid." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Sep 1, 2004
 
Vanity Fair (2004)50%
/
4/5
 
" What's at stake in Intimate Strangers is something quite small: The relationship between two lonely people. We care because Leconte helps us to understand their isolation, and we end up sharing their thirst for human contact." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Aug 27, 2004
 
Intimate Strangers (2004)87%
/
1/5
 
" After watching this film you feel that you've aged a thousand years." -- Orlando Sentinel

Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004)26%
/
1/5
 
" Plenty violent. And bloody. And gory. What it isn't -- not really -- is scary." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Aug 23, 2004
 
Exorcist: The Beginning (2004)11%
/
4/5
 
" Cleverly written, sensitively directed and very well-acted." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Aug 20, 2004
 
Garden State (2004)87%
/
2/5
 
" This is the kind of comedy in which the aim is to make the audience cringe." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Aug 20, 2004
 
Without A Paddle (2004)14%
/
2/5
 
" Parents ... are more likely to experience the film as a blend of clumsy slapstick and mind-numbing bathos." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Aug 20, 2004
 
Benji Off the Leash (2004)32%
/
3/5
 
" Despite some very good acting in most roles, the people on the screen seem like types with labels." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Aug 13, 2004
 
A Home at the End of the World (2004)49%
/
4/5
 
" May be the funniest out-and-out comedy of the summer." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Aug 13, 2004
 
Shaolin Soccer (2002)91%
/
4/5
 
" We're served up meaty, often spicy, slices of sadly wasted lives." -- Orlando Sentinel

Carandiru (2004)68%
/
2/5
 
" So lame." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Aug 11, 2004

3/5
 
" Yet another lackluster late-summer thriller." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Aug 6, 2004
 
Collateral (2004)86%
/
2/5
 
" One of those annoyingly coy romantic comedies in which people try to improve their relationships by deceiving and investigating each other." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Aug 6, 2004
 
Little Black Book (2004)22%
/
5/5
 
" A richer experience than the original." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Jul 30, 2004
 
Before Sunset (2004)94%
/
2/5
 
" Aside from possibly launching a Ben Kingsley line of cosmetics, Thunderbirds seems destined to leave no lasting mark." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Jul 30, 2004
 
Thunderbirds (2004)19%
/
3/5
 
" Crude, tasteless, sophomoric and crass. It is also, sometimes, funny." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Jul 30, 2004
 
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004)73%
/
3/5
 
" An affectionate biographical documentary." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Jul 23, 2004
 
Superstar in a Housedress (2004)100%
/
5/5

Posted Jul 23, 2004
 
The Mother (2004)78%
/
1/5
 
" Arguably the worst superhero film ever made." -- Orlando Sentinel

" A quiet film." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Jul 16, 2004
 
The Return (2004)96%
/
3/5
 
" While it isn't always easy to get used to the slower natural rhythms this film celebrates, its cumulative effect is undeniable." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Jul 16, 2004
 
The Story of the Weeping Camel (2004)95%
/
3/5
 
" Porter's songs keep much the film afloat when, otherwise, it would have sunk. No matter how turgid or murky the movie becomes, when the music starts, you're flying." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Jul 16, 2004
 
De-Lovely (2004)49%
/
1/5
 
" This witless little comedy takes the classic fairy tale and turns it into a Hilary Duff vehicle about popularity, e-mail and cell phones at a San Fernando Valley high school." -- Orlando Sentinel
Posted Jul 16, 2004
 
A Cinderella Story (2004)10%
/
2/5
 
" If the pre-adolescents in your life don't have anything better to do than watch this movie, maybe the time has come to teach them hopscotch." -- Orlando Sentinel
