"... a taut little mousetrap of a thriller, with more than a nod to the clever plotting of Hitchcock."
Posted Jan 26, 2006
 
Nightingale in a Music Box (2002)67%
/
2/4
 
"Granted this is a kids' movie and disbelief must be suspended, but director Bart Freundlich never seems to find the tone he wants."
Posted Feb 6, 2004
 
Catch That Kid (2004)11%

3/4
 
"Impossible to describe, impossible to forget."

"A bloody mess."
Posted Nov 28, 2003
 
In My Skin (2003)65%
/
3/4
 
"A tasteless, vulgar, savage assault against everything that is good and decent in the Christmas season. I think you are going to like it."
Posted Nov 26, 2003
 
Bad Santa (2003)76%

1/4
 
"It is hard to say who is less recognizable in The Cat in the Hat, Mike Myers or the actual Cat in the Hat."
Posted Nov 21, 2003
 
Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat (2003)12%
/
3/4
 
"The good news is that this is mostly good old-fashioned hand-drawn Disney animation. The bad news is that it relies too much on old-fashioned formula, hackneyed plot and cookie-cutter characters."
Posted Oct 31, 2003
 
Brother Bear (2003)39%
/
1/4
 
"Beyond Borders is a film with its heart in the right place. Unfortunately, its head is stuck so far in the clouds that it dissolves into preachy do-gooder mush."
Posted Oct 24, 2003
 
Beyond Borders (2003)14%

"It is a great story, but it hasn't been translated to the screen."

"A bubble wash for the senses, an adrenaline rush for the mind."
Posted Aug 15, 2003
 
Step Into Liquid (2003)81%

"There's more than a hint of desperation to Murphy's characterization."
Posted Aug 15, 2003
 
Uptown Girls (2003)13%
/
2/4
 
"Another of those summer movies that want to pluck at our heartstrings. If it would just stop plucking for a second, it might be enjoyable."
Posted Aug 8, 2003
 
Camp (2003)61%
/
3/4
 
"What could have been another teen/tween knockoff is transformed by Curtis, who puts her venerable, classy mug right in front of the camera."
Posted Aug 6, 2003
 
Freaky Friday (2003)88%
/
2/4
 
"It is a little like following a Jane Austen novel."
Posted Jul 22, 2003
 
The Sea is Watching (2003)58%

"Dreamy and deliberate."
Posted Jul 9, 2003

"This isn't Sin-bad. It is just Sin- mediocre."
Posted Jul 2, 2003
 
Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003)46%
/
0/4
 
"It makes you wonder, is there is a market for soft-porn movies for lonely geeks? Isn't that what computers are for in the first place?"
Posted Jun 27, 2003
 
On_Line (2002)38%
/
1/4
 
"From Justin to Kelly may be right out of the Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello scrapbook, but that's not the movie they are making here."
Posted Jun 23, 2003
 
From Justin to Kelly (2003)9%
/
1/4
 
"It is hard to believe this plodding, predictable snoozer will raise anyone's pulse rate."

"Who would have thought those bright minds at Nickelodeon would come up with a stinker?"
Posted Jun 13, 2003
 
Rugrats Go Wild (2003)40%
/
3/4
 
"Nothing says summer film fun like explosions, guns and cartwheeling cars -- and that's all here."
Posted Jun 6, 2003
 
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)36%
/
1/4
 
"The plot unfolds like a slasher-by -the-numbers kit."
Posted Jun 2, 2003
 
Wrong Turn (2003)41%
/
4/4
 
"The visuals pop, the fish emote and the ocean comes alive. That's in the first two minutes. After that, they do some really cool stuff."
Posted May 30, 2003
 
Finding Nemo (2003)98%
/
1/4
 
"It is never a good sign when the audience is two steps ahead of the characters on the screen. Waiting for them to catch up wears everyone out."

The Trip (2003)39%
/
2/4
 
"The story is also less violent and combative."
Posted May 16, 2003
 
Pokemon - Heroes: The Movie (2003)17%

3/4
 
"From the rain-streaked windshield to the unaffected line readings from a stellar cast, there is not a shot in Blue Car that doesn't ring true."
Posted May 16, 2003
 
Blue Car (2003)81%
/
3/4
 
"A harmless and amusing summer comedy."
Posted May 9, 2003
 
Daddy Day Care (2003)28%
/
1/4
 
"Certainly there are dueling wizards, torchlight swordfights and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon effects. But the moments of action are interspersed with lengthy plot developments that are hard to follow."
Posted May 2, 2003
 
Onmyoji (2001)50%
/
4/4
 
"For what it aspires to be -- and we're not talking Sense and Sensibility here -- it works."
Posted May 2, 2003
 
The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003)40%
/
2/4
 
"As a star vehicle for Kennedy, Malibu doesn't advance the ball, but the timing could be perfect to grab the eager-for -the-end -of-school crowd."
Posted Apr 18, 2003
 
Malibu's Most Wanted (2003)30%
/
1/4
 
"What this really is is a great deal of screaming and running from room to room, wacky chase scenes, the old bag switcheroo, dim-bulb crooks and zany antics."
Posted Apr 16, 2003
 
Chasing Papi (2003)13%
/
1/4
 
"Despite good reviews at this year's Sundance Film Festival, this is the kind of squishy lost cause that gives liberal guilt a bad name."
Posted Apr 11, 2003
 
Stevie (2003)90%

2/4
 
"Too much is left unsaid."
Posted Apr 11, 2003
 
Unknown Pleasures (2003)61%
/
4/4
 
"Lin never gets on a soapbox, and these characters could have walked out of any high school in the country."
Posted Apr 11, 2003
 
Better Luck Tomorrow (2003)80%
/
2/4
 
"The pacing, the leather suit, the raspy speed rap. Chris Rock and others do it, and as long as Griffin sticks with the shtick he doesn't have much to add."
Posted Apr 4, 2003
 
DysFunKtional Family (2003)44%
/
2/4
 
"There is no doubting the heart-rending impact of the story. But because it is made clear from the start that there is no chance of an uplifting ending, viewers may grow restless."
Posted Mar 28, 2003
 
Open Hearts (2003)96%
/
2/4
 
"This is harmless fun for the kindergarten crowd, but even they will notice that the Blustery Day video they've been playing at home is a lot better."
Posted Mar 21, 2003
 
Piglet's Big Movie (2003)77%
/
2/4
 
"A perfectly serviceable mindless action film."
Posted Feb 28, 2003
 
Cradle 2 the Grave (2003)25%

"A good old-fashioned love story."

"The overall result of this remake is something as safe and dull as oatmeal."
Posted Feb 14, 2003
 
Jungle Book 2 (2003)19%
/
3/4
 
"You'll gasp, you'll flinch, you'll cringe, but mostly you'll scream."
Posted Jan 31, 2003
 
Final Destination 2 (2003)46%
/
1/4
 
"It takes some work to make 100-mph motorcycle races boring, but they've managed to pull it off here."
Posted Jan 31, 2003
 
Biker Boyz (2003)22%
/
3/4
 
"It all adds up to a cheekier Lion King on a lower budget. But what you miss in spectacle you will make up in laughs."
Posted Dec 20, 2002
 
The Wild Thornberrys Movie (2002)76%
/
2/4
 
"Instead of the easy laughs, Schneider and Brady are going for something a little deeper."
Posted Dec 13, 2002
 
The Hot Chick (2002)21%
/
1/4
 
"You've never seen a movie go from awwwww to ewwwww so fast."
Posted Nov 27, 2002
 
Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002)13%

"When the Disney people go after your holiday dollar, they don't leave anything in the paint box."
Posted Nov 27, 2002
 
Treasure Planet (2002)71%
/
3/4
 
"Kids probably will find it rip-roaring holiday fun, and it is rated G to boot."
Posted Nov 1, 2002
