	"The filmmakers don't get the ball into the Shaq-man's hands enough -- both literally and figuratively -- to make this personable giant's screen debut memorable." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Blue Chips (1994)	40%
	"This is an impassioned movie, made with conviction and evangelical verve. It's also hysterical and overbearing and alienating." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Born on the Fourth of July (1989)	88%
	"In old Hollywood, style could make up for a lack of substance, but this remake is without either." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Born Yesterday (1993)	24%

	"*Jennifer Connelly is very easy to look at. Career Opportunities* isn't.*" -- Washington Post* Posted Jan 1, 2000	Career Opportunities (1991)	55%
	"*Think Dennis Hopper has played too many crazies? Well, you'll wish he'd stuck to blowing up buses after you see him in Carried Away." -- Washington Post* Posted Jan 1, 2000	Carried Away (1996)	67%
	"Not only is the picture woefully short on laughs, it's also coarse, overbearing and, in places, downright insulting." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Celtic Pride (1996)	9%
	"Amateurishly acted, clumsily edited and slapped together out of what looks like surveillance camera footage, the thing bumps along not so much on talent as on audacity." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Clerks (1994)	86%
	"In Landis' hands, the film doesn't live up to even the meagerest of expectations." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Coming to America (1988)	62%

	"It's dreamy only in one respect: It's a snooze." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Dreams (1990)	53%

	"The kind of movie that gives evolution a bad name." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Encino Man (1992)	14%
	"The movie is fast, slick and dumb as a post." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Fair Game (1995)	9%
	"Because Carlo Broschi, the 18th-century castrato singer known as Farinelli, was himself such an exotic and sensationalistic figure, you'd think that creating a dull movie out of his flamboyant life would be next to impossible. Think again." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Farinelli: Il Castrato (1994)	67%
	"Though Corrente, who wrote, produced and directed this debut feature, displays a sure, confident hand, his style and sensibility aren't singular enough to make this collection of behavioral details feel original." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Federal Hill (1995)	79%

	"The film is caught somewhere between seriousness and cheesy exploitation." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Heart Condition (1990)	0%
	"All of this is presented with a broad-stroked, sitcom raucousness that's pretty tough to stomach." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Hello Again (1987)	11%
	"It's bright and spunky and playfully melodramatic, but something's missing." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	High Heels (1991)	64%
	"Call it a critical prejudice, but I say slap an outboard motor on that baby and you've got yourself a movie." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	In a Glass Cage (1986)	50%
	"Just too pat, too predictable and too generic." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Indian Summer (1993)	61%
	"The final section, in which Indy must claim the Grail and save his father's life, is imbued with a turgid, pop-mystical tone." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)	89%
	"Lyne indulges more in misdirection than in direction; he's a magician turning a sleazy trick." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Jacob's Ladder (1990)	72%
	"While this may sound intriguing, the picture merely jumps around clumsily from incident to incident." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Jeffrey (1995)	57%

	"If Chuck Berry were dead, he'd be spinning in his grave." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Johnny Be Good (1988)	0%
	"The longer you stay with it, the more routine and uninspired it seems -- not to mention cowardly." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Just Cause (1995)	23%
	"Behind this is Godard's inability to resolve an essential contradiction in his work -- his reverence for ideas and theories and all sorts of philosophical speculation, and his utter disregard for a sustained, coherent presentation of them." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	King Lear (1987)	50%
	"[Besson] seems to like playing off the generic, though he probably thinks of it as working with the mythic, the classic." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	La Femme Nikita (1990)	86%
	"*Ultimately, La Scorta* is a tight, competent but rather inconsequential thriller. It's diverting, but thin.*" -- Washington Post* Posted Jan 1, 2000	La Scorta (1993)	63%

	"Dalton plays a straight-faced, humorless, no-nonsense Bond -- all guns and no play -- and it makes for a very dull time." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Licence to Kill (1989)	67%
	"About all that's worth noting is that the Caddy gets demolished and that the stars remain intact (though practically everyone will wish that it were the other way around)." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	License To Drive (1988)	18%
	"Hackman mostly just stands around watching Aykroyd run through his exertions with the look of a man who has something unspeakable on the sole of his shoe." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Loose Cannons (1990)	0%
	"Shamelessly formulaic." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Major League (1989)	86%
	"It is, in a word, dullsville." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994)	39%
