Hercules (1997) 83% 3/4 EDIT “The fear is that Disney is throwing all creative ambition out the window in favor of a surefire kid pleaser. The good news is that Hercules is more than that.” – Contra Costa Times Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Black Snake Moan (2007) 66% 2.5/4 EDIT “Ricci has guts. Nonetheless, Black Snake Moan turned my stomach.” – Contra Costa Times Mar 2, 2007 Full Review The Passion of the Christ (2004) 49% C EDIT “Even though it is relentlessly intense, at times even deeply moving, The Passion ultimately leaves you numb.” – Contra Costa Times Feb 25, 2004 Full Review High Fidelity (2000) 91% EDIT “Smart and in the end feel-good, it's more an evening with a talented club band than the full-out stadium show.” – Contra Costa Times Mar 6, 2001 Full Review Rounders (1998) 63% EDIT “The acting is crisp, and Dahl knows how to pace a movie and make it look good.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Where the Heart Is (2000) 34% EDIT “A heartwarming and sometimes inspirational couple of hours.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review What Dreams May Come (1998) 51% EDIT “"What Dreams May Come" is a like an abstract painting, full of vivid brushstrokes that hint at deeper meaning.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Mission to Mars (2000) 23% EDIT “They don't waste words in the space program, and I won't waste any more here. Let's call this one mission: improbable.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review What Planet Are You From? (2000) 41% EDIT “It gives new meaning to the overused adage that men are from Mars, women are from Venus.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas (2000) 25% EDIT “The new Flintstones movie is bad. Prehistorically bad. Neolithically bad. Bad enough that you should take your youngsters and run in the opposite direction to My Dog Skip.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) 54% EDIT “The lack of emotion is glaring.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Scream 3 (2000) 45% EDIT “What we are witnessing here is a rather perfunctory conclusion to what was once an inspired burst of creativity.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The Ninth Gate (1999) 44% EDIT “The movie is so crisply done, with such class, that it keeps you engrossed.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Dinosaur (2000) 65% EDIT “A quick blast.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Jakob the Liar (1999) 31% EDIT “Plays dangerously close to Hogan's Heroes goes to Auschwitz.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Mission: Impossible II (2000) 58% EDIT “Entertaining in its own wacky way.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Chill Factor (1999) 10% EDIT “Chill Factor is just the kind of failed action picture one expects to see during these final days of August.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Deep Blue Sea (1999) 60% EDIT “Here finally is the big, loud, jump-a-minute summer movie everyone's been craving.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Pokémon: The First Movie (1998) 17% EDIT “Movies like this make me cringe.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Romeo Must Die (2000) 33% EDIT “To say [Li's] acting is 'wooden' would be kind.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The Thirteenth Floor (1999) 29% EDIT “Never has a film deteriorated so abruptly and so completely.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The Road to El Dorado (2000) 49% EDIT “Road to El Dorado has some nicely done visuals.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Here on Earth (2000) 18% EDIT “After weathering the movie's mood swings and enduring its overwrought ending, you'll be begging for satire on bended knees.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review End of Days (1999) 11% EDIT “Let us be sustained by the knowledge that in just 38 more days, all this millennium nonsense will be over.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Anna and the King (1999) 52% EDIT “More well-intended than it is entertaining.” – Contra Costa Times Jan 1, 2000 Full Review
