Cold Weather (2010) 78% 8/10 EDIT “Well worth the trip.” – JoBlo's Movie Network Feb 4, 2011 Full Review Seed of Chucky (2004) 36% B- EDIT “No one rents or buys a movie like this for its Oscar moments. This is a fun romp of a flick that's going to be fun with a group of friends and a keg.” – Trades Jul 29, 2005 Full Review Shrek (2001) 88% EDIT “A solid second outing by DreamWorks/PDI, with truly biting entertaining moments scattered throughout the film.” – Trades Jun 12, 2004 Full Review Gothika (2003) 15% C+ EDIT “” – Trades Nov 23, 2003 Full Review The School of Rock (2003) 92% C+ EDIT “Instead of the freshness of About a Boy, it presents the tried-and-true of a watered down The Goonies.” – Trades Sep 28, 2003 Full Review Narc (2002) 83% A EDIT “The opening tests the limits of an R-rating, as a drug fueled cop chases down a criminal that has no regard for civilians or human life...” – Trades Dec 7, 2002 Full Review Sgt. Bilko (1996) 31% 0/5 EDIT “Awful” – Trades Dec 7, 2002 Full Review About Schmidt (2002) 86% C- EDIT “Alexander Payne's follow-up to his critically praised debut, Election, struggles throughout to convey a purpose and vision. While the humor is evident in the premise, it fails consistently to execute successfully.” – Trades Dec 7, 2002 Full Review Antwone Fisher (2002) 77% A EDIT “This film is easily one of the year's best because it never hides its intentions, but still carries a heavy impact. Antwone Fisher's strength relies on simplicity, charm, and craftsmanship” – Trades Dec 7, 2002 Full Review Hard-Boiled (1992) 92% 0/5 EDIT “Overrated.” – Trades Oct 4, 2002 Full Review Bowling for Columbine (2002) 95% A- EDIT “Here lies the charm of Michael Moore's style, he uses guerilla style journalism to ask the questions no one seems to be asking, of the people no one seems to have the balls to ask.” – Trades Oct 1, 2002 Full Review Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988) 52% 4/5 EDIT “Fun Fun Fun :P” – Trades Sep 27, 2002 Full Review Far From Heaven (2002) 87% B EDIT “Haysbert's performance here shines as a perfect example of an African-American actor that is left behind in Hollywood, not because he can't act, but because there are too few roles written for him.” – Trades Sep 27, 2002 Full Review Last Action Hero (1993) 41% 3/5 EDIT “Funnier than you might expect” – Trades Sep 25, 2002 Full Review The Pallbearer (1996) 48% 2/5 EDIT “Not as bad as the title might suggest, maybe a bit too dark a comedy for most audiences. However, it still has some comedic blank spots.” – Trades Sep 13, 2002 Full Review Rudy (1993) 80% 4/5 EDIT “A magical film.” – Trades Sep 13, 2002 Full Review Trapped in Paradise (1994) 10% 0/5 EDIT “Horrible. Terrible. Unfunny.” – Trades Sep 13, 2002 Full Review Breast Men (1997) 50% 2/5 EDIT “Schwimmer stretches... but that doesn't make this good.” – Trades Sep 13, 2002 Full Review K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) 60% C EDIT “It fails to create an emotional link to the true story it is based on because it allows empty dialogue and over-indulgent action to overwhelm the horror of the true sailor's reality.” – Trades Jun 28, 2002 Full Review Road to Perdition (2002) 82% A+ EDIT “Mendes takes an extensive look at a cold-blooded man whose love for his family challenges his livelihood and his past, and delivers a film that seems unmired by the studio corruption that many young director's despise.” – Trades Jun 28, 2002 Full Review Mr. Deeds (2002) 22% B- EDIT “Overall, 'Deeds' proves that Sandler's comedy is showing it's age. While not as horrid as 'Little Nicky,' 'Deeds' remains outside of Sandler's circle of great comedies.” – Trades Jun 14, 2002 Full Review Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) 62% B+ EDIT “While the film is clearly a step up from "Menace," it still has its weak points. These weaknesses do not tarnish the saga or the film. It is still a fantastic spectacular explosive powerful tale nonetheless.” – Trades May 7, 2002 Full Review Insomnia (2002) 92% A EDIT “An engrossing and inventive thriller.” – Trades May 2, 2002 Full Review About a Boy (2002) 93% A- EDIT “To be completely honest, Grant may have the best performance of his career in Boy.” – Trades Apr 9, 2002 Full Review National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002) 18% EDIT “Spends too much time and effort on weak gross-out gags, and sprints past romantic moments between Van and Gwen.” – Trades Feb 4, 2002 Full Review
