A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
|
"Richard Linklater's squiggly new film, A Scanner Darkly, is an ambitious attempt to find the right visual style to render the experience of drug addiction and the paranoid vision of novelist Philip K. Dick, into a distinctive visual form." | |

Abandon (2002) |

About Schmidt (2002) |
|
"The movie isn't just about Schmidt as a personality, it's a portrait of his world, and Payne and co-writer Taylor show a rare compassion for the superficially comfortable." | |

Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |

The Adventures of Felix (2001) |
