" A romantic comedy that's thinner than a copy of Bop magazine and proves, once again -- see Carey, Mariah -- that the transition from pop star to thespian is no easy leap to make."
Posted Oct 25, 2001
 
On the Line (2001)18%
/
 
" By-the-numbers, ailment-of-the-week fodder dressed up with a classy cast."
Posted Oct 25, 2001
 
Life as a House (2001)46%
/
 
" A mostly smart attempt to resurrect Ealing Studios-style hijinks."
Posted Oct 25, 2001
 
High Heels and Low Lifes (2001)20%
/
 
" A funny, frenetic, and often quite touching microcosm of the Big Apple life itself."
Posted Oct 25, 2001
 
Dinner Rush (2001)89%
/
 
" Stylish and ingratiatingly goofy."
Posted Oct 23, 2001
 
Bones (2001)22%
/
4/5
 
" [A] frank father-daughter drama."
Posted Oct 20, 2001
 
Aberdeen (2001)87%
/
 
" A funny, poignant adaptation of Beverly D'Onofrio's autobiography, and a chick flick that's refreshingly sap-free."
Posted Oct 18, 2001
 
Riding in Cars with Boys (2001)48%
/
 
" Intimacy feeds on its achingly honest lead performances."
Posted Oct 18, 2001
 
Intimacy (2001)65%
/
 
" Arty lighting and shadows can't compensate for a plodding script and shallow characters."
Posted Oct 18, 2001
 
Focus (2001)56%
/
2/5
 
" Disturbing and disjointed."
Posted Oct 15, 2001

Posted Oct 11, 2001
 
Bandits (2001)63%
/
 
" Frankly, there wouldn't have been enough shtick here to warrant an SNL skit."
Posted Oct 11, 2001
 
Corky Romano (2001)5%
/
 
" A pretty minor affair, an outdated Aussie About Last Night."
Posted Oct 11, 2001
 
Better Than Sex (2001)47%
/
 
" Turns into an overextended intellectual conceit when it ought to be simply sophisticated fun."
Posted Oct 11, 2001
 
Va Savoir (2001)85%
/
3/5
 
" This bed-swapping crime story is ultimately too protracted, but Piñeyro's direction is richly atmospheric, full of noir shadows and strong period detail."
Posted Oct 8, 2001
 
Burnt Money (2001)76%
/
 
" Training Day is mesmerizing entertainment, but it's also a cop-out."
Posted Oct 5, 2001
 
Training Day (2001)72%
/
2/5
 
" The movie's too mellow cool for its own good."
Posted Oct 5, 2001
 
Grateful Dawg (2001)70%
/
4/5
 
" While this romantic confection is about as substantial as the frozen hot cocoa they serve at the titular Upper East Side restaurant, it's appealing cast and snowbound, fairy-tale NYC locations make it go down easy."
Posted Oct 5, 2001
 
Serendipity (2001)57%
/
 
" Nothing more than one more run-of- the-mill, surprise-free, suspense programmer."
Posted Sep 27, 2001
 
Don't Say a Word (2001)23%
/
 
" More than goofy enough to finish with style."
Posted Sep 27, 2001
 
Zoolander (2001)62%
/
 
" The actors are good enough to make it all work."
Posted Sep 27, 2001
 
Born Romantic (2001)58%
/
4/5
 
" A complex, revealing look at a year in the life of a small town and the tangled politics of the citizens' blind love of the game."
Posted Sep 24, 2001
 
Go Tigers! (2001)85%
/
 
" Only diehard Mariah fans, 11-year-old girls, or anyone truly desperate to escape last week's terror might find some reason to sit through this bland, bloated, self-addressed valentine."
Posted Sep 20, 2001
 
Glitter (2001)6%
/
 
" An emotionally devastating chronicle of the disintegration of a family."
Posted Sep 20, 2001
 
Liam (2001)70%
/
2/5
 
" Badly employing all kinds of tricks ... [Lustig] ultimately overpowers her actors and does in her own film."
Posted Sep 17, 2001
 
Kill Me Later (2001)25%
/
2/5
 
" Both an ode to the passion of Spanish flamenco dancing and a polemic about the transitory state of the gypsy people it sprang from, Vengo doesn't succeed as either."
Posted Sep 17, 2001
 
Vengo (2001)62%
/
 
" A stinky wedge of domestic thriller cheese."
Posted Sep 13, 2001
 
The Glass House (2001)21%
/
 
" This is satire on the giddy level of The Simpsons."
Posted Sep 13, 2001
 
Haiku Tunnel (2001)60%
/
 
" Cuesta's film never succumbs to Larry Clark-esque seediness. The film's take on Oliver Twist is utterly dispassionate and all the more creepy and compelling for offering us no clues as to what will happen between Big John and Howie."
Posted Sep 6, 2001
 
L.I.E. (2001)83%
/
 
" A compelling examination of masculinity and machismo."
Posted Sep 6, 2001
 
Bounce: Behind the Velvet Rope (2001)40%
/
 
" There's more drama in one episode of VH1's Behind the Music, more irony in This Is Spinal Tap, and more reality in The Decline of Western Civilization Part II."
Posted Sep 6, 2001
 
Rock Star (2001)52%
/
 
" Hard to watch -- not because of its unflinching realism, but rather for its mawkish reliance on every boy hooker flick from Midnight Cowboy to Johns."
Posted Sep 6, 2001
 
Speedway Junky (2001)33%
/
 
" The quintessential gay date at the art house."
Posted Sep 6, 2001
 
Come Undone (2001)77%
/
4/5
 
" In spirit, 101 Reykjavík is so Almodóvar that it could melt the polar icecap."
Posted Sep 4, 2001
 
101 Reykjavik (2001)89%
/
 
" More about good intentions than great drama."
Posted Aug 30, 2001
 
O (2001)63%
/
 
" The film's satiric skewering of '70s liberalism works because it feels emotionally authentic."
Posted Aug 30, 2001
 
Together (2001)90%
/
 
" Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is less a satire of the crass product Hollywood hurls at us than a reflection of it."
Posted Aug 24, 2001
 
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)53%
/
 
" This one's all labor pains, and, in the end, nothing gets delivered."
Posted Aug 23, 2001
 
Maybe Baby (2001)46%
/
 
" Good old-fashioned romantic entertainment, just restrained enough to skirt schmaltz."
Posted Aug 16, 2001
 
Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001)29%
/
 
" It takes a special kind of stinker to turn an up-and-comer with the wily presence of a young Steve McQueen into a tousle-haired action figure."
Posted Aug 16, 2001
 
American Outlaws (2001)13%
/
 
" The visceral force of Lumumba is a sober reminder that there's nothing more incendiary than the reopening of a forgotten chapter of history."
Posted Aug 16, 2001
 
Lumumba (2001)84%
/
 
" The Others stands apart merely for recognizing that animatronic gargoyles are no substitute for unhinged neuroses."
Posted Aug 9, 2001
 
The Others (2001)83%
/
 
" Its emotional sweep is ultimately undercut by murky characterizations and generic plotting."
Posted Aug 9, 2001
 
An American Rhapsody (2001)53%
/
 
" Makes for hypnotic viewing, anchored by a star who's the very model of grace under pressure."
Posted Aug 9, 2001
 
The Deep End (2001)81%
/
 
" Loaded with smart, sarcastic one-liners and clever potshots at sexless studio movies like In & Out."
Posted Aug 9, 2001
 
All Over the Guy (2001)43%
/
 
" Suffers from schizophrenia."
Posted Aug 9, 2001
 
Osmosis Jones (2001)53%
/
 
" While talky and gimmicky, this witty Gallic film spins a sci-fi scenario near enough to reality that anyone who frequents the information superhighway can relate."
Posted Aug 3, 2001
 
Thomas in Love (2001)69%
/
 
" The film is broad, cute, and calculated at every turn."
Posted Aug 2, 2001
 
The Princess Diaries (2001)49%
/
 
" It's tastier this time around because of the established rapport between Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker."
Posted Aug 2, 2001
 
Rush Hour 2 (2001)51%
/
 
" In Porter's capable hands, Jill Fitzpatrick's a feisty, vulnerable P.I. deserving of her own movie franchise."
Posted Jul 26, 2001
 
The Monkey's Mask (2001)43%
