75/100
Inside Hana's Suitcase (2009) Dan Jardine Weinstein displays considerable flair, both with image and sound, producing a document to the Brady family that has true universality.

2/5
Don't Say a Word (2001) Shay Casey Starts off simple, gets unnecessarily complicated, ties itself into further knots.

2.5/5
Vatel (2000) Dan Jardine It lacks an understanding of the harmonies and contrasts in the very society he is trying to expose to ridicule.

1.5/5
Company Man (2000) Norman Short ...a madcap romp that ends up only qualifying as disgruntled at best.

2/5
Death Before Dishonor (1987) Norman Short ...manages to hold its own within its niche ridden with low expectations

3/5
Rock Star (2001) Shay Casey Most of the opening scenes are a lot of fun.

5/5
Apocalypse Now Redux (1979) Shay Casey The real reason to rejoice the arrival of Redux is the opportunity to see Apocalypse Now in all its glory, as movies were meant to be seen.

1/4
Apocalypse Now Redux (1979) Jaime N. Christley I find this vaguely Stalinist notion of "correcting" [the film] to be frightening and kind of sickening.
Posted Sep 10, 2001  Edit critic review
5/5
Ghost World (2001) Shay Casey A gentle, nuanced film about an oft-ignored section of the population.
Posted Sep 06, 2001  Edit critic review
0.5/5
Original Sin (2001) Shay Casey A load of pretentious crap.
Posted Aug 12, 2001  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Jurassic Park III (2001) Shay Casey The direction is ever more pedestrian, and the characters increasingly resemble so much warm tapioca.
Posted Jul 25, 2001  Edit critic review
2/5
Pearl Harbor (2001) Shay Casey Pearl Harbor is product, not film.
Posted Jul 09, 2001  Edit critic review
1.5/5
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) Shay Casey This plot has two major strikes against it: It's mindless and convoluted.
Posted Jun 17, 2001  Edit critic review
2/5
A Knight's Tale (2001) Shay Casey A confused bore of a picture, intermittently entertaining, but bogged down by so many dull patches that it barely seems to be moving at all.

3.5/5
Josie and the Pussycats (2001) Shay Casey Josie and the Pussycats carries a sort of lively playfulness that winds up fairly addictive in its own right.

2/5
The Crow: Salvation (2000) Norman Short Please, God, make the hurting stop.

4/5
Girlfight (2000) Norman Short I knew long before the film was over that I'd seen the beginning of something special.

3.5/5
Spy Kids (2001) Shay Casey It's a blast of energy that one really can refer to (without the slightest hint of reservation) as 'good for the whole family.'
Posted Apr 14, 2001  Edit critic review
2.5/5
The Tic Code (1998) Norman Short The Tic Code is better as a moving educational experience than a story.
Posted Mar 31, 2001  Edit critic review
3.0/5
The Wisdom of Crocodiles (1998) Norman Short The film is unsettling, but rich in story and character, bordering on but not quite crossing the line into pretentiousness.
Posted Mar 31, 2001  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Support Your Local Sheriff! (1969) Norman Short This is one of the few movies I still laugh out loud at no matter how many times I've seen it...
Posted Mar 31, 2001  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Enemy at the Gates (2001) Shay Casey It eventually falls flat on its face.
Posted Mar 21, 2001  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Pay It Forward (2000) Shay Casey It's not looking to touch us in any meaningful way; it's just looking to make us cry so we (and the Academy) will be fooled into heaping awards on it come next March.
Posted Feb 22, 2001  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Dr. T & the Women (2000) Shay Casey 'Dr. T' is not Altman's best work, but it is far from his worst.
Posted Feb 22, 2001  Edit critic review
5/5
Requiem for a Dream (2000) Shay Casey It's a film that burrows under the skin, latches on to a viewer, and refuses to let go.
Posted Feb 22, 2001  Edit critic review
4/5
Girlfight (2000) Shay Casey Kusama's script never pigeonholes its characters into easy types, and the relationships are unforced.
Posted Feb 22, 2001  Edit critic review
3/5
Psycho Beach Party (2000) Shay Casey It may be fluff, but it's knowing, relatively enjoyable fluff.
Posted Feb 14, 2001  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Remember the Titans (2000) Shay Casey With such volatile and interesting subject matter, we could have gotten more than a safe Really Good Bad Movie. We could have gotten a Good Movie.
Posted Feb 07, 2001  Edit critic review
4/5
Quills (2000) Shay Casey The film is neither a glorification nor a condemnation, but something much more interesting.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
1.5/5
Red Planet (2000) Shay Casey Not only shamelessly rips off the best of the genre, but also fails to even put it into a nice sheen or an entertaining package.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
4/5
Traffic (2000) Shay Casey It's not the kind of film that tells you how to think or feel, but it's one that makes you think or feel something anyway.
