28 Days (2000) |
|
"Bullock also covers herself with gratuitous comedy and predictable drama to prevent audiences from seeing the naked truth of addiction." | |
Randall King | |
 |

|
The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) |
|
"Bringing the cartoon characters into the real world requires a wild imagination. Credit scriptwriter Kenneth Lonergan for having it." | |

Anna and the King (1999) |
|
"This version of Anna and the King plays it entirely too safe." | |
Randall King | |

|
Any Given Sunday (1999) |
|
"At its core Any Given Sunday is just another trite, win - one - for - the - Gipper paean to the gridiron." | |

|
The Bachelor (1999) |
|
"The Bachelor is just as dismal a failure -- the anti-date movie of the year." | |
Darryl Sterdan | |

|
|
Beautiful (2000) |
|
"The movie's heroine is so tiresome, you can feel her projected image draining your life away." | |
Randall King | |

|
The Big Kahuna (1999) |
|
"[Danny DeVito] has never been better than he is here." | |

|
Bless the Child (2000) |
|
"Bless the Child may be on the side of the angels but lacks the impact of its cinematic predecessors." | |

Boys and Girls (2000) |
|
"[The stars] are navel-gazing bores." | |

Down to You (2000) |
|
"Down to You is bad. Real bad." | |
Randall King | |

|
Drowning Mona (2000) |
|
"The richest comedy is in the details and in throwaway bits of dialogue." | |
Randall King | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Erin Brockovich (2000) |
|
"Director Steve Soderbergh wisely emphasizes Erin's personal growth over the crusade." | |
Randall King | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Eye of the Beholder (1999) |
|
"McGregor's character is so devoid of interest, it makes one long for the redeeming charm of Jar Jar Binks." | |
Randall King | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Final Destination (2000) |
|
"For all the film's 95-minute length, the content is less substantial than 44 minutes of X-Files." | |
Randall King | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas (2000) |
|
"Ultimately, The Flintstones leaves one as cold as marble." | |
Randall King | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Frequency (2000) |
|
"Its own fancifully melodramatic way, Frequency's appeal as a unique little thriller doesn't get lost in the static." | |
Randall King | |

|
|
Gossip (2000) |
|
"Gossip is just unbelievable." | |
Bruce Kirkland | |

|
Hanging Up (2000) |
|
"It's particularly disappointing that Keaton demonstrates little of the quirky sensibility of her previous works, either as a director or an actress." | |
Randall King | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
I Dreamed of Africa (2000) |
|
"It's debatable how well Gallman's story is served by Basinger and director Hugh Hudson." | |
Randall King | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Jakob the Liar (1999) |
|
"Even though director Peter Kassovitz tries hard to reproduce the soul-chilling despair of the ghetto, truth eludes Jakob The Liar." | |
Randall King | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Keeping the Faith (2000) |
|
"The film fleshes out the jokey premise with rather elaborate character development." | |
Randall King | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Man on the Moon (1999) |
|
"Forman ends it all with a hint that Kaufman may still be with us, a narrative cop-out akin to the it-was- all- a-dream denouement. If he is alive, Andy Kaufman may be the only one in the theatre laughing." | |
Randall King | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Nurse Betty (2000) |
|
"It's Zellweger's movie, and her charm proves to be just the right prescription to balance LaBute's astringent style." | |
Randall King | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
The Original Kings of Comedy (2000) |
|
"Though boasting four of the best black comics in the biz, this film by Spike Lee is not going to dethrone Richard Pryor Live as the funniest comedy concert film ever." | |
Randall King | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Pitch Black (2000) |
|
"If Pitch Black is a likable sci-fi thriller, it's because it has the heart of a cheeseball '70s disaster movie beneath the horror trappings of computer-generated mutant bats and winged demon aliens." | |

The Replacements (2000) |
|
"Utilizing state-of-the-art methods in the science of statistics, I have determined there will be virtually no audience for The Replacements." | |

The Road to El Dorado (2000) |
|
"Very entertaining." | |

|
Supernova (1999) |

"Supernova meekly goes where other sci-fi flicks, such as Alien, have gone before." | |
Randall King | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) |

"A smarter-than -usual action movie." | |
Randall King | |

|
What Planet Are You From? (2000) |
|
"Nichols' film is distinctive from his other sex comedies in that it aims lower than the brain." | |
Randall King | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Where the Heart Is (2000) |
|
"Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel apparently couldn't resist dressing the movie up like a Baskin-Robbins ice cream cake with lots of precious, cutesy comic touches." | |
Randall King | |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Where the Money Is (2000) |
|
"The heist sequence is an almost mellow affair, and the sexual content is likewise unlikely to induce any heart attacks among Newman's age demographic." | |
Randall King | |

 |
| |
|
|
The Whole Nine Yards (2000) |
|
"Peet emerges as one of the most delightful female characters in the film." | |
