1/4
 
"It's just not that scary (even the gory sequences are predictable and boring). And it certainly isn't clever or funny."
Posted Sep 15, 2007
 
Hatchet (2007)46%
/
1/4
 
"Everything you'd expect it to be, and yet so much less: less character development, less believability, and most unforgivably, less escapist entertainment."
Posted Apr 16, 2007

"Wimmer ain't no Cassavetes."

3/4
 
"Marshall puts a suspenseful spin on standard horror flick formula."
Posted Jan 31, 2003
 
Dog Soldiers (2002)79%

3/4
 
"As improbable as this premise may seem, Abbass's understated, shining performance offers us the sense that on some elemental level, Lilia deeply wants to break free of her old life."
Posted Oct 11, 2002
 
Satin Rouge (2002)83%
/
3.5/4
 
"Pennebaker doesn't break any ground here, in what is essentially a linear concert film. But he doesn't need to. Bowie's brilliant -- and, by today's stadium-size standards, intimate -- performance does that for him."
Posted Aug 23, 2002
 
Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars: The Motion Picture (1983)71%
/
2.5/4
 
"A grittily beautiful film that looks, sounds, and feels more like an extended, open-ended poem than a traditionally structured story."
Posted Aug 22, 2002
 
Cuba Feliz (2002)63%
/
3/4
 
"Parts of the film feel a bit too much like an infomercial for Ram Dass's latest book aimed at the boomer demographic. But mostly it's a work that, with humor, warmth, and intelligence, captures a life interestingly lived."
Posted Jun 7, 2002
 
Ram Dass Fierce Grace (2002)81%
/
2.5/4
 
"Cacoyannis is perhaps too effective in creating an atmosphere of dust-caked stagnation and labored gentility."
Posted May 31, 2002
 
The Cherry Orchard (2002)54%
/
3/4
 
"A candid and often fascinating documentary about a Pentecostal church in Dallas that assembles an elaborate haunted house each year to scare teenagers into attending services."
Posted May 24, 2002
 
Hell House (2002)94%
/
2/4
 
"It starts slowly, has few dramatic peaks and sketchy character development, and meanders without momentum."
Posted May 17, 2002
 
Mystic Masseur (2001)52%
/
3.5/4
 
"Does a terrific job of evoking the electric magic of an extraordinary era."
Posted May 3, 2002
 
Dogtown and Z-Boys (2002)91%
/
1/4
 
"It's tough to tell which is in more abundant supply in this woefully hackneyed movie, directed by Scott Kalvert, about street gangs and turf wars in 1958 Brooklyn -- stale cliches, gratuitous violence, or empty machismo."
Posted May 3, 2002
 
Deuces Wild (2002)3%
/
3.5/4
 
"A crackling, clever tour de force."
Posted Apr 26, 2002
 
Nine Queens (2002)92%
/
3.5/4
 
Jose Campanella delivers a loosely autobiographical story brushed with sentimentality but brimming with gentle humor, bittersweet pathos, and lyric moments that linger like snapshots of memory.
Posted Apr 12, 2002
 
The Son of the Bride (2002)84%
/
3.5/4
 
"Explores the exciting, terrifying complications and limitations of sex, love, power, and loyalty."
Posted Apr 5, 2002
 
Y Tu Mama Tambien (2002)91%
/
3/4
 
"An entertaining, if somewhat standardized, action movie."
Posted Mar 8, 2002
 
All About the Benjamins (2002)31%
/
3.5/4
 
"A fast-moving and remarkable film that appears destined to become a landmark in Japanese animation."
Posted Feb 1, 2002
 
Metropolis (2002)91%
/
1/4
 
"There's scant character development, pedestrian dialogue, and an almost complete lack of humor."
Posted Feb 1, 2002
 
Slackers (2002)9%
/
1.5/4
 
"In their zeal to create a character who embodies a wholesome, positive adolescent ideal, the filmmakers have invented an 18-year-old girl with no self-doubt, no emotional weakness, no character flaws, and a crystal-clear complexion."
Posted Jan 25, 2002
 
A Walk to Remember (2002)26%
/
3.5/4
 
A clever satire that's layered like a breakfast club sandwich with sly in-jokes, sight gags, gross-out scenes, and, of course, requisite bathroom humor.
Posted Dec 14, 2001
 
Not Another Teen Movie (2001)28%
/
3/4
 
Like gin and juice, [Dre and Snoop are] good together.
Posted Nov 16, 2001
 
The Wash (2001)8%

Little did Elizabeth know that after starring in the spoof Scary Movie, she'd soon find herself in another parody of bad horror films -- one that doesn't know it is one.
Posted Oct 26, 2001
 
Thirteen Ghosts (2001)11%
/
 
Offers for most of its length a wickedly funny romp that takes witty aim at traditional gender roles and stereotypes.
Posted Sep 7, 2001
