Iron Man 3 (2013) Dave White [Shane] Black is the reason for the season and Downey is his Santa Claus

2.5/5
The Place Beyond the Pines (2012) Dave White ...promising way more than it can ever hope to deliver in what suddenly seems like a too-short two-and-half-hours.

Parental Guidance (2012) Dave White People with brains they can't turn on and off for 90 minute stretches of holiday family togetherness will be driven to take some kind of painkiller before the final credits roll. Everyone else will be fine

1.5/5
Jack the Giant Slayer (2013) Dave White A corporate product drained of personality, one where you can practically hear studio notes like "MAKE THE GIANTS FARTIER!" shouted from the sidelines, a charmless theme park ride that substitutes loudness for joy.

Gosford Park (2001) Dave White It's dryly, acidly funny.
Posted Dec 28, 2001  Edit critic review
Black Hawk Down (2001) Dave White Scott's tendency to trumpet his own significance keeps it from greatness, but it's still better than jingoistic stuff like Behind Enemy Lines.

I Am Sam (2001) Dave White I do not like Sean Penn as a ham, I do not like it, Sam I Am.
Posted Dec 28, 2001  Edit critic review
The Shipping News (2001) Dave White Good-looking but weak movie that, while not hamming it up to hijack your affection, doesn't try to win you over with anything more than its own sense of importance.
Posted Dec 28, 2001  Edit critic review
Happenstance (2000) Dave White It's silly and slight, but not too sweet, so go take a chance.
Posted Dec 28, 2001  Edit critic review
Charlotte Gray (2001) Dave White You never get a sense of danger or suspense or romance or anything else you might associate with people in love doing incredibly dangerous resistance work in WW2, which makes the movie itself very easy to resist.
Posted Dec 28, 2001  Edit critic review
Dark Blue World (2001) Dave White Good-looking and earnest, but a little too stiff to make you feel the grand-scale emotions it wants to inspire.
Posted Dec 28, 2001  Edit critic review
Monster's Ball (2001) Dave White The fact that the film spares us not only a constant wallow in misery but also cheap, maudlin uplift is pretty miraculous.
Posted Dec 27, 2001  Edit critic review
No Man's Land (2001) Dave White The absurdity of it is diluted by the metaphorical sledgehammer used to smash the antiwar message home.
Posted Dec 21, 2001  Edit critic review
A Beautiful Mind (2001) Dave White Russell Crowe's sweating and facial tics are always entertaining, but Ron Howard never lets you enjoy them, so busy is he directing everyone into a state of uplifting bliss.

Ali (2001) Dave White It's just a good movie and not the greatest.
Posted Dec 21, 2001  Edit critic review
The Majestic (2001) Dave White So, you're going along with your life as a rich Hollywood screenwriter, and BAM! You get amnesia. Ain't that the way it always goes?
Posted Dec 21, 2001  Edit critic review
How High (2001) Dave White I could feel whole chunks of my brain dissolving, my cinematic standards being lowered, and my desire to send a check to NORML grow as I watched this movie and loudly laughed my ass off.

Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001) Dave White Thanks to Nickelodeon, this is another addition to their great track record of imaginative, child-friendly movies.

5/5
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) Dave White It's a fully-realized epic -- sprawling, thrilling, visually stunning and emotionally satisfying, too. I'm converted!
Posted Dec 19, 2001  Edit critic review
Vanilla Sky (2001) Dave White I barely bought a word of it as it was.
Posted Dec 13, 2001  Edit critic review
The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) Dave White I may eat these words down the road, but right now, Wes Anderson is one of the best new American directors we have.
Posted Dec 13, 2001  Edit critic review
Lantana (2001) Dave White Implausible tale.
Posted Dec 13, 2001  Edit critic review

Posted Dec 13, 2001  Edit critic review

Posted Dec 07, 2001  Edit critic review

Posted Dec 07, 2001  Edit critic review
Baran (2001) Dave White You Should Pay Nine Bucks for This: Because you can hear about suffering Afghan refugees on the news and still be unaffected. Dramas like this make it human.
Posted Dec 07, 2001  Edit critic review
Ocean's Eleven (2001) Dave White Completely preposterous and totally enjoyable.
Posted Dec 06, 2001  Edit critic review
Piñero (2001) Dave White What makes this one different, and therefore MUCH better, is that it avoids the typical 'this happened and then this happened' structure that makes most biographical films such heavy lifting.
Posted Dec 06, 2001  Edit critic review
The Business of Strangers (2001) Dave White The demands of the 'let's get him' plot get in the way of character development.
Posted Dec 06, 2001  Edit critic review

Posted Dec 03, 2001  Edit critic review

Posted Nov 29, 2001  Edit critic review

Posted Nov 29, 2001  Edit critic review

Posted Nov 29, 2001  Edit critic review

Posted Nov 26, 2001  Edit critic review

Posted Nov 21, 2001  Edit critic review

Posted Nov 21, 2001  Edit critic review
In the Bedroom (2001) Dave White This one delivers the goods, thanks to nice, low-wattage direction and non-showy performances.
Posted Nov 20, 2001  Edit critic review
Black Knight (2001) Dave White Words cannot adequately describe the pain. It will make you long for the subtlety and wit of Big Momma's House.
Posted Nov 20, 2001  Edit critic review
Spy Game (2001) Dave White This movie is about guys sitting around in meetings, trying to out-spy each other.
Posted Nov 20, 2001  Edit critic review

Novocaine (2001) Dave White Date Movie? You'd have to love Steve Martin more than your date to enjoy this.
Posted Nov 16, 2001  Edit critic review
The Wash (2001) Dave White [Snoop's] funny, charismatic, delivers weak material with a look on his face that will still crack you up and has the best hair of any actor working today.
