1.5/5
 
"Breeds plenty of contempt."
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
Aeon Flux (2005)11%
/
3/5
 
"An airy, nostalgic celebration of roller disco."
Posted Sep 26, 2005
 
Roll Bounce (2005)64%
/
3.5/5
 
"One viewing will leave you with a clearer understanding about why these desperate men commit these desperate acts."
Posted Sep 26, 2005
 
Paradise Now (2005)88%
/
1.5/5
 
"Stealth flails around with cheesy techno-babble, a lame attempt at an inter-office romance between Lucas and Biel, and a bizarre final act that reeks of desperation."
Posted Jul 31, 2005
 
Stealth (2005)13%
/
1.5/5
 
"A script that offers few thrills and a slapdash story."
Posted May 14, 2005
 
House of Wax (2005)26%
/
2.5/5
 
"An uneven effort."
Posted Dec 23, 2004
 
Fat Albert (2004)20%
/
3/5
 
"Reminds us of the curative power of art in an ugly world."
Posted Dec 10, 2004
 
Born Into Brothels (2004)96%
/
2/5
 
"Holmes, who's clearly nearer to 30 than 20, never quite fits into the college milieu."
Posted Sep 26, 2004
 
First Daughter (2004)9%
/
1/5
 
"[A] low-flame comedy."
Posted Sep 5, 2004
 
The Cookout (2004)5%
/
1.5/5
 
"This clunky revenge thriller seems to have a target audience of Alec Baldwin, Sean Penn and Arnold Schwarzenegger."
Posted Sep 5, 2004
 
Paparazzi (2004)18%
/
1.5/5
 
"An army of writers reheat gender-bending slapstick with middling results."
Posted Jul 3, 2004
 
White Chicks (2004)15%
/
2/5
 
"After a brisk opening half-hour, New York Minute's promising start devolves into a parade of chase and slapstick bits you've seen a dozen times before."
Posted May 7, 2004
 
New York Minute (2004)12%
/
2.5/5
 
"The film promises vigilante payback, then delivers it without the kind of underlying moral outrage needed to put it across."
Posted Apr 3, 2004
 
Walking Tall (2004)24%
/
2/5
 
"With a running time clocking in at less than 90 minutes, the movie has a slimmed- down-in-the- editing-room feel; plots points often don't connect."
Posted Feb 3, 2004
 
The Big Bounce (2004)16%
/
2/5
 
"Moore's personality void keeps sucking air out of the picture."
Posted Jan 11, 2004
 
Chasing Liberty (2004)19%
/
4/5
 
"Director Lauren Lazin masterfully stitches together bits and pieces of Shakur's interviews to underline the big, Shakespearean themes -- ambition, violence, redemption -- that seemed to define his life."
Posted Nov 14, 2003
 
Tupac: Resurrection (2003)77%
/
2/5
 
"Without a joystick, audiences can't relish the cheap thrills the video game offers. It's about as much fun as looking over someone else's shoulder at the arcade."
Posted Oct 13, 2003
 
House of the Dead (2003)4%
/
2.5/5
 
"Fans of the television show may show up for this one, but given that an American Idol sequel has already ended its run, audiences are likely to find it stale."
Posted Jun 29, 2003
 
From Justin to Kelly (2003)9%
/
1.5/5
 
"A tedious slasher picture with yet another Inbred Monster as its star villain."
Posted Jun 8, 2003
 
Wrong Turn (2003)41%
/
2.5/5
 
"Jesse Wigutow’s mostly flaccid script provides a few memorable showdown scenes between father Kirk and son Michael."
Posted Apr 25, 2003
 
It Runs in the Family (2003)28%
/
2/5
 
"The dizzying plot twists of Basic muddle up a story which ultimately comes off as a shell game of a movie."
Posted Apr 7, 2003
 
Basic (2003)21%
/
2/5
 
"Stale slapstick and predictable, raunchy sight gags (usually involving a banana)."
Posted Mar 27, 2003
 
Boat Trip (2003)7%
/
2.5/5
 
"William Friedkin’s skilled old hand pushes The Hunted along so briskly that you almost don’t mind the howlers in the script or the expression-starved performance from Benicio Del Toro. Almost, but not quite."
Posted Mar 16, 2003
 
The Hunted (2003)32%
/
1.5/5
 
"It's all right out of Beverly Hills Cop, without the originality the premise had 20 years ago or Eddie Murphy's grinning manic humor."
Posted Jan 19, 2003
 
National Security (2003)13%
/
1/5
 
"Rob Schneider's infantile cross-dressing routines fill The Hot Chick, the latest gimmick from this unimaginative comedian."
Posted Dec 16, 2002
 
The Hot Chick (2002)21%
/
3/5
 
"A worthy tribute documentary that digs up recognition for the musicians who backed up Marvin Gaye, the Temptations and other Motown legends."
Posted Oct 29, 2002
 
Standing in the Shadows of Motown (2002)92%
/
3/5
 
"Trapped won't score points for political correctness, but it may cause parents a few sleepless hours -- a sign of its effectiveness."
Posted Sep 22, 2002
 
Trapped (2002)19%
/
3/5
 
"An often gripping dramatization of a psychological research project about the prison dynamics between guards and convicts."
Posted Sep 20, 2002
 
The Experiment (2002)72%
/
1.5/5
 
"Flat performances and a cumbersome plot keep the flame low on this crude teen potboiler."
Posted Sep 13, 2002
 
Swimfan (2002)15%
/
2.5/5
 
"Walter Hill's pulpy, stylized boxing melodrama Undisputed nearly overcomes its questionable in-the-ring match-up with solid fight choreography and gritty prison authenticity."
Posted Aug 25, 2002
 
Undisputed (2002)47%
/
1.5/5
 
"Functions more as a product than a movie."
Posted Aug 11, 2002
 
The Country Bears (2002)27%
/
2/5
 
"Bigelow handles the nuclear crisis sequences evenly but milks drama when she should be building suspense, and drags out too many scenes toward the end that should move quickly."
Posted Jul 28, 2002
 
K-19: The Widowmaker (2002)60%
/
3/5
 
"B-type dialogue -- dirty jokes, overly emphatic declarations and other ripe lines -- make the movie camp fun."
Posted Jul 19, 2002
 
Eight Legged Freaks (2002)47%
/
1.5/5
 
"Writer Bradley Allenstein peppers the script with a lot of lame locker-room jokes that appear on the horizon long before they hit the screen."
Posted Jun 30, 2002
 
Juwanna Mann (2002)9%
/
3/5
 
"Fairly similar to A.I. -- filled with provocative ideas and technically flawless, but somewhat disjointed."
Posted Jun 24, 2002
 
Minority Report (2002)92%
/
2/5
 
"A badly executed black comedy for the teen set."
Posted Jun 5, 2002
 
Sugar & Spice (2001)30%
/
1.5/5
 
"For a jaunt into teen exploitation, The New Guy is as aggressively unfunny as they come."
Posted May 12, 2002
 
The New Guy (2002)7%
/
2/5
 
"Adrian Lyne's remake of Chabrol's La Femme Infidele isn't as much an examination of an adulterous affair as it is a commercial for it."
Posted May 10, 2002
 
Unfaithful (2002)47%
/
3.5/5
 
"As a meditation on the way sadistic impulses can destroy men, Changing Lanes sails onto the open road and away from the traffic jams."
Posted Apr 12, 2002
 
Changing Lanes (2002)78%
/
3/5
 
"The movie is amateurish, but it's a minor treat."
Posted Apr 5, 2002
 
American Chai (2002)52%

2/5
 
"Many of Benjamins' elements feel like they’ve been patched in from an episode of Miami Vice."
Posted Mar 8, 2002
 
All About the Benjamins (2002)31%
/
2.5/5
 
"The mushy finale turns John Q into a movie-of-the-week tearjerker."
Posted Feb 15, 2002
 
John Q (2002)22%
/
1/5
 
"Another reminder that most remakes are accidents waiting to happen."
Posted Feb 8, 2002
 
Rollerball (2002)4%

"Giamatti's gift for neurotic mayhem lifts Big Fat Liar out of the realm of factory-produced children's pictures that preach various life lessons."
Posted Feb 8, 2002
 
Big Fat Liar (2002)44%
/
2.5/5
 
"What it lacks in savage wit, Audition more than makes up for in psychological horror."
Posted Dec 23, 2001
 
Audition (2001)76%
/
 
"The movie's choppy, erratic tone is as irritating as its unlikable characters."
Posted Dec 21, 2001
 
Joe Somebody (2001)20%

"Unlike Young Frankenstein, Airplane or the first Naked Gun, Not Another Teen Movie fails to stick to a story and carry it through to the end."
Posted Dec 18, 2001
 
Not Another Teen Movie (2001)28%
/
 
"Uses state-of-the-art visual effects as a substitute for any kind of a clear story."
Posted Oct 28, 2001
 
Thirteen Ghosts (2001)11%
/
 
"Just too preachy to really register."
Posted Oct 12, 2001
 
Focus (2001)56%

"Wahlberg brings his good-natured playfulness to Rock Star, instilling some charisma and energy into a routine show-business movie."
