Kingdom of Heaven (2005) 39% 2.5/4 EDIT “Demands implausible leaps of its hero, the young Balian (Orlando Bloom).” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel May 5, 2005 Full Review National Treasure (2004) 47% 2/4 EDIT “Despite an interesting premise and a decent cast, the movie swings randomly between too much explanation and not enough, between simplistic cliche and inscrutable babble.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Nov 18, 2004 Full Review Exorcist: The Beginning (2004) 10% 2/4 EDIT “Trips over itself in a rush to get gross and then lingers too long on pustules, gaping wounds and maggots.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Aug 23, 2004 Full Review Godzilla (1954) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “Instead of a disjointed monster movie, this original Godzilla is a masterful statement about humankind's monstrous abilities to inflict harm on itself and the world.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jul 15, 2004 Full Review The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) 29% 2.5/4 EDIT “An entertaining but shameless mash-up of other escapist fare.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jun 11, 2004 Full Review Hidalgo (2004) 46% 2.5/4 EDIT “An entertaining but far-short- of-epic popcorn romp that's equal parts Indiana Jones and The Last Samurai.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Mar 5, 2004 Full Review Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack! (2001) 65% 2.5/4 EDIT “The sight of a clumsy, bipedal lizard knocking into what's clearly a cardboard and Styrofoam model has a quaint charm all its own.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Dec 26, 2003 Full Review Tupac: Resurrection (2003) 77% 3/4 EDIT “A sympathetic but honest look at a man whose formidable talent was equaled only by his penchant for making bad choices.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Nov 13, 2003 Full Review Margaret Cho: Notorious C.H.O. (2002) 85% 3.5/4 EDIT “As hilarious as it is raunchy.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sep 12, 2002 Full Review Possession (2002) 64% 2.5/4 EDIT “For a movie about the power of poetry and passion, there is precious little of either.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Aug 30, 2002 Full Review Scooby-Doo (2002) 32% 3/4 EDIT “Worth its weight in Scooby snacks.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jun 14, 2002 Full Review The Scorpion King (2002) 40% 2/4 EDIT “Nothing but an episode of Smackdown! in period costume and with a bigger budget.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Apr 19, 2002 Full Review Blade II (2002) 57% 2.5/4 EDIT “Halfway through, however, having sucked dry the undead action flick formula, Blade II mutates into a gross-out monster movie with effects that are more silly than scary.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Mar 21, 2002 Full Review The Time Machine (2002) 28% 1/4 EDIT “The question hanging over The Time Machine is not, as the main character suggests, 'what if?' but rather, 'How can you charge money for this?'” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Mar 8, 2002 Full Review 40 Days and 40 Nights (2002) 40% 2.5/4 EDIT “Highly flawed but crudely funny.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Mar 1, 2002 Full Review Crossroads (2002) 15% 1.5/4 EDIT “Lacking substance and soul, Crossroads comes up shorter than Britney's cutoffs.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Feb 15, 2002 Full Review Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001) 74% EDIT “The movie's final third is a sloppy cobble-together of B-grade special effects and laughable plot twists that strain credulity.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jan 18, 2002 Full Review Kate & Leopold (2001) 52% EDIT “As a spun-sugar, slightly screwball romantic comedy, it's a delicious 'portal' to an hour and change of escapism.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Dec 25, 2001 Full Review On the Line (2001) 18% EDIT “A flawed and formulaic but watchable little fable about the pursuit of true love.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Oct 25, 2001 Full Review Glitter (2001) 6% EDIT “While it seems cruel to kick a person when she's down, it would be inaccurate to call Carey's performance anything other than groan-inducing.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sep 26, 2001 Full Review Rock Star (2001) 53% EDIT “You don't have to be a metalhead ... to give the funny, ultimately feel-good flick the headbanger's 'devil horns' gesture of approval.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sep 7, 2001 Full Review Josie and the Pussycats (2001) 54% EDIT “As calculating as the consumer marketing machine it villainizes.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Apr 11, 2001 Full Review The Tigger Movie (2000) 64% EDIT “Most of the Sherman brothers' songs feel like material tacked on to sell a 'Sing-A-Long' album and are quickly forgotten.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Beyond the Mat (1999) 82% EDIT “The film is sometimes riveting -- and sometimes hard to watch.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jan 1, 2000 Full Review
