2.5/5
 
"An overlong, overstuffed melodrama whose solid performances can't completely mask novelist Kazuo Ishiguro's unwieldy script."
Posted Jan 13, 2006
 
White Countess (2005)51%
/
3.5/5
 
"Isn't for all tastes, but it's well worth digging into -- if you've got the stomach for it."
Posted Feb 11, 2005
 
The Green Butchers (2005)65%
/
3/5
 
"A fairly engrossing look at the havoc obsession can wreak on people's lives."
Posted Sep 3, 2004
 
Wicker Park (2004)23%
/
2/5
 
"It's one of those movies where every good joke is in the trailer, which was a hilarious two-minute spot that promised so much more than this sloppy, lazy effort manages to deliver."
Posted Jul 9, 2004
 
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)64%
/
3.5/5
 
"You may find yourself feeling a bit guilty about enjoying it so much."
Posted Jun 18, 2004
 
Napoleon Dynamite (2004)71%
/
3/5
 
"Despite its flimsy plot and screenplay, The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi is indeed entertaining, and is one of the more bizarre -- and bloody -- foreign films to hit mainstream North American theatres in quite a while."
Posted Jun 11, 2004
 
The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi/Sonatine (2004)87%
/
4/5
 
"A splendidly nasty piece of horror filmmaking."
Posted Mar 19, 2004
 
Dawn of the Dead (2004)77%
/
3.5/5
 
"You've got to hand it to director Gavin O'Connor and Disney, the same company that gave us The Mighty Ducks, for making a real hockey film this time around."
Posted Feb 6, 2004
 
Miracle (2004)79%
/
4/5
 
"This 1979 horror-sci-fi masterpiece still holds up remarkably well on the big screen, a testament to the skill of director Ridley Scott, who was then working on his first film, and the acting by the talented ensemble cast."
Posted Oct 29, 2003
 
Alien: The Director's Cut (2003)94%
/
2/5
 
"For a purported comedy, Moving Malcolm isn't very funny -- few of its gags don't fall flat on their faces."
Posted Oct 22, 2003
 
Moving Malcolm (2003)n/a
/
3.5/5
 
"The performances are terrific, especially the wonderful Lane, who deftly conveys weariness, desperation, vulnerability and sexiness at various turns."
Posted Sep 26, 2003
 
Under the Tuscan Sun (2003)63%
/
4/5
 
"A superbly crafted movie, with knowing dialogue, fine performances and characters that you grow to care deeply for."
Posted Sep 20, 2003
 
Lost in Translation (2003)95%
/
1.5/5
 
"Leaves you completely without thrills, chills or even mild displeasure."
Posted Sep 19, 2003
 
Cold Creek Manor (2003)12%
/
0.5/5
 
"This, folks, is without a doubt, one of the worst movies that has ever made our eyes glaze over."
Posted Aug 25, 2003
 
My Boss's Daughter (2002)8%
/
2.5/5
 
"This journey of self-discovery hits a dead end long before the closing credits roll."
Posted Aug 1, 2003
 
Lucia, Lucia (2003)44%
/
3.5/5
 
"Will make you laugh out loud more than a few times with its often juvenile and scatological humour."
Posted Aug 1, 2003
 
American Wedding (2003)57%
/
3.5/5
 
"A splendid little movie that should leave moviegoers on a high."
Posted Jun 27, 2003
 
Owning Mahowny (2003)78%

2.5/5
 
"Together is a pretty good film, but is a story you've seen a thousand times at the movies."
Posted Jun 27, 2003
 
Together (2003)73%

1.5/5
 
"When you stagger out of the theatre after watching the new Iranian movie Ten, you may find yourself wondering just what, exactly, was the point."
Posted May 9, 2003
 
Ten (2003)86%
/
3/5
 
"Somehow, director-screenwriter Bernar Hebert manages to keep you hooked into the story, even though Leo is not a sympathetic character."
Posted May 2, 2003
 
The Favourite Game (2003)n/a
/
3.5/5
 
"You seem, at times, to actually be part of the picture, as characters appear to stand right next to you, or as plankton drifts lazily before your eyes when you're submerged."
Posted Apr 11, 2003
 
Ghosts of the Abyss (2003)82%
/
3/5
 
"The movie has lots of charm, and you can't help but root for the titular little runt."
Posted Mar 21, 2003
 
Piglet's Big Movie (2003)77%
/
3.5/5
 
"It features strong acting and directing, lots of keen observations about what it's like living under two different cultures, and plenty of warm humour and effective drama."
Posted Mar 14, 2003
 
Bend It Like Beckham (2003)85%
/
2.5/5
 
"For the most part, Deliver Us From Eva is a pretty enjoyable, if predictable, romantic comedy."
Posted Mar 7, 2003
 
Deliver Us From Eva (2003)42%

4/5
 
"A fascinating, dark thriller that keeps you hooked on the delicious pulpiness of its lurid fiction."
Posted Feb 22, 2003
 
Intacto (2002)71%

2.5/5
 
"In some respects, Punch still packs some, but it will leave you feeling woozy and glad when the bell rings."
Posted Feb 19, 2003
 
Punch (2002)29%
/
2.5/5
 
"It isn't good, certainly, but despite its numerous faults, it's a surprisingly entertaining mishmash of genres and cliches."
Posted Jan 31, 2003
 
Biker Boyz (2003)22%
/
4/5
 
"Features such an uncanny ear for dialogue, characterization and situations that it seems almost like a documentary."
Posted Nov 1, 2002
 
All or Nothing (2002)83%
/
3.5/5
 
"All of these characters seem genuine, not the sorts of stereotypes you see in most romantic comedies."
Posted Oct 11, 2002
 
Brown Sugar (2002)63%

4/5
 
"A wonderful, wholesome and, best of all, intelligent piece of entertainment that will appeal to all ages."
Posted Oct 11, 2002
 
Tuck Everlasting (2002)61%
/
3.5/5
 
"Devos and Cassel have tremendous chemistry -- their sexual and romantic tension, while never really vocalized, is palpable."
Posted Oct 6, 2002
 
Read My Lips (2002)97%

"Sweet Home Alabama certainly won't be remembered as one of [Witherspoon's] better films."

Spirited Away (2002)97%

Posted Sep 13, 2002
 
Barbershop (2002)84%
/
1/5
 
"If you really want Carvey to make you laugh, you're better off watching an old SNL repeat. From the 1980s."

Posted Jul 15, 2002
 
Halloween: Resurrection (2002)11%

"Enigma looks great, has solid acting and a neat premise. Yet why it fails is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma."
Posted May 31, 2002
 
Enigma (2002)73%
/
2.5/5
 
"While the meandering story is coherently told, it labours under a dual storyline that tells completely different stories until they're tied together fairly unconvincingly at the end."
Posted May 4, 2002
 
Jalla! Jalla! (2000)50%
/
3/5
 
"While the film really doesn't have anything new to say, it's still thoughtful and well-crafted."
Posted May 3, 2002
 
Pauline and Paulette (2002)83%
/
2.5/5
 
"You simply don't get a sense that Lanie's learned anything, other than that being too ambitious is a really bad thing."
Posted Apr 26, 2002
 
Life or Something Like It (2002)26%
/
4/5
 
"A small gem of a movie that defies classification and is as thought-provoking as it is funny, scary and sad."
Posted Apr 12, 2002
 
Alias Betty (2002)92%
/
4/5
 
"For a movie set completely inside a dingy motel room, Tape is a thrilling piece of experimental cinema."
Posted Mar 22, 2002
 
Tape (2001)76%
/
2/5
 
"Misogynistic and hypocritical."
Posted Mar 22, 2002
 
Sorority Boys (2002)13%

"... a good, if not entirely fresh, look at war."
Posted Mar 1, 2002
 
We Were Soldiers (2002)63%
/
2/5
 
"While the story is better-focused than the incomprehensible Anne Rice novel it's based upon, Queen Of The Damned is a pointless, meandering celebration of the goth-vampire, tortured woe-is-me lifestyle."
Posted Feb 22, 2002
 
The Queen of the Damned (2002)14%

"Takes a good idea for a seven-minute sketch and stretches it out for an excruciating 105."
Posted Jan 26, 2002

"It's loud -- so it's as though it's trying to over-compensate for a decided lack of heart."
