	"An odd, scattered, free-form, but thoroughly engaging film." -- Seattle Times Posted Jun 17, 2005	Masculin Feminin (1966)	94%
2.5/4	"It's a remarkable story, and well worth seeing, particularly for its handful of genuinely affecting moments." -- Seattle Times Posted Mar 25, 2005	Paper Clips (2004)	71%
2.5/4	"It should be good fun for chess lovers. For the chess-indifferent, it also has some enjoyable moments." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Mar 25, 2005	Game Over - Kasparov and the Machine (2003)	75%

2/4	"A ham-fisted movie that doesn't tax your brain with a lot of pesky ideas and three-dimensional characters." -- Seattle Times Posted Dec 17, 2004	Flight of the Phoenix (2004)	29%
1.5/4	"Problematic on almost all levels." -- Seattle Times Posted Nov 5, 2004	Proteus (2003)	29%

3.5/4	"A quietly effective exploration of the divisive subject of gay marriage in America." -- Seattle Times Posted Oct 22, 2004	Tying the Knot (2005)	89%
2/4	"A monochromatic melodrama." -- Seattle Times Posted Oct 22, 2004	Woman, Thou Art Loosed (2004)	50%
2.5/4	"Intriguing but flawed." -- Seattle Times Posted Oct 15, 2004	Primer (2004)	72%

3.5/4	"A gripping, nearly perfect documentary, chronicling a heart-stopping rise, fall and triumphant reversal in the space of its 74-minute running time." -- Seattle Times Posted Feb 27, 2004	The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (2003)	98%

3/4	"A profane, wildly politically incorrect and sometimes shockingly funny holiday comedy." -- Seattle Times Posted Nov 26, 2003	Bad Santa (2003)	77%
2/4	"The movie has some mildly amusing moments, but it completely lacks the wild glee and irresistible rhythm of the book." -- Seattle Times Posted Nov 21, 2003	Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat (2003)	12%
3/4	"A weirdly compelling blend of corny sentiment and bloodthirsty ballet." -- Seattle Times Posted Sep 19, 2003	Underworld (2003)	30%
2.5/4	"Disappointing and uneven" -- Seattle Times Posted Sep 12, 2003	Matchstick Men (2003)	82%
2.5/4	"You'll either like this soaringly daft confection, even as it aggravates you with its self-absorption, or you won't. I did." -- Seattle Times Posted Aug 29, 2003	And Now Ladies and Gentlemen (2003)	46%
2.5/4	"*While Step Into Liquid* has charming and even breathtaking moments, it definitely flags after the halfway point.*" -- Seattle Times* Posted Aug 22, 2003	Step Into Liquid (2003)	82%

2/4	"Daddy Day Care doesn't rank with the most awful of the Murphy turkeys, but it's definitely flat as a pancake, fueled by bathroom humor, listless pratfalls and recycled, borderline-offensive jokes about the ineptitude of men as caretakers." -- Seattle Times Posted May 9, 2003	Daddy Day Care (2003)	28%
2/4	"A pretty unpalatable blend of syrup and formaldehyde-basted turkey." -- Seattle Times Posted Apr 25, 2003	It Runs in the Family (2003)	28%
1.5/4	"The laughs here are painfully few and far between." -- Seattle Times Posted Apr 11, 2003	Anger Management (2003)	43%
3/4	"It's corny, but it's also pretty cool." -- Seattle Times Posted Apr 4, 2003	Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (2003)	70%
0/4	"Less a movie than an idea for a movie, and unfortunately it's a very bad idea for a movie." -- Seattle Times Posted Mar 28, 2003	Spun (2003)	36%
3/4	"The movie resonates with a rare and genuine sweetness." -- Seattle Times Posted Mar 28, 2003	Tully (2002)	80%
1.5/4	"If it were better done, Tears would be offensive: the villains are evil, faceless, baby-murdering Muslims. But the movie is so shoddy and one-dimensional that it's just a dreary, predictably violent bore." -- Seattle Times Posted Mar 7, 2003	Tears of the Sun (2003)	34%

	It's just not funny. -- Film.com Posted Jun 4, 2001	The Animal (2001)	32%
	A lot of fun to watch, and easy to surrender to in the moment. -- Film.com Posted Jan 1, 2000	Alien Resurrection (1997)	53%
	Utterly false, like all sitcoms, but that's not necessarily a terrible thing. -- Film.com Posted Jan 1, 2000	As Good as It Gets (1997)	89%

	The pieces don't all work perfectly, but the whole is gently affecting. -- Film.com Posted Jan 1, 2000	Fire (1996)	86%
	It's hugely refreshing to watch a movie populated almost exclusively by character actors. -- Film.com Posted Jan 1, 2000	Hard Eight (1997)	82%
	There's a kind of grand awfulness about it. -- Film.com Posted Jan 1, 2000	Mortal Kombat - Annihilation (1997)	4%
	Sharks is a one-joke movie, and the joke wears thin less than halfway through. -- Film.com Posted Jan 1, 2000	Swimming With Sharks (1995)	73%
	It's ugly and unpleasant but you may find it intensely compelling, much like a visit to the oral surgeon. -- Film.com Posted Jan 1, 2000	The Glimmer Man (1996)	9%
	Corleone, the soft-spoken crimelord, is masterfully played by Brando in one of the most imitated performances of all time. -- Film.com Posted Jan 1, 2000	The Godfather (1972)	100%
