Quills (2000) Ed Scharf While it may not have delivered a knock out, Quills certainly does pack a solid punch.

9/10
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) Tim Bennett A testament to the love and respect and diligence of director Ron Howard and his crew, screenwriters Jeffrey Price & Peter S. Seaman and committed, wonderful performances by the cast.

X-Men (2000) Ron Harner This is what a summer blockbuster should look like -- smart, sexy, tight in all the right places.

Dr. T & the Women (2000) Tim Bennett The thing to keep in mind is that when Altman isn't great, he still doesn't suck.

4/10
Pay It Forward (2000) Tim Bennett The only thing this film pays forward is the trend of celebrating the bland, ballyhooing empty sentiments and honoring filmmaking by-the-numbers.

8/10
Almost Famous (2000) Ed Scharf [Crowe] has crafted a cast of fresh characters in a realm where cliches often fester, and he is blessed with actors who fulfill their promise.

7/10
Shanghai Noon (2000) Tim Bennett The story is compelling enough on its own to make a good (albeit overdone) action flick.

8/10
Bait (2000) Tim Bennett Bait is a relentless assault on the senses, heart-pounding and manifest.

7/10
Girlfight (2000) Tim Bennett Kusama and her cast make the stale fresh with solid, gutwrenching performances and a firm commitment to instilling an edgy, perhaps feminine, spirit and energy to the classic sports story.

7/10
Frequency (2000) Ed Scharf Sure it's a little hokey and it may get a little tidy there near the end, but overall, it's a well-done movie.

5/10
Red Planet (2000) Ed Scharf There are only so many life or death deadlines we can be expected to stomach in one trip to Mars as the impossible repeatedly becomes the inevitable in these all or nothing scenarios.

2/10
Little Nicky (2000) Ron Harner Nobody expects any character development or a real story from anything in the Sandler catalogue, but at least make the stupid jokes original.

9/10
Best in Show (2000) Ron Harner There's trendy funny and there's enduring funny. Christopher Guest has always steered away from the easy laughs and obvious parodies and delivered comedies that last.

7/10
Unbreakable (2000) Tim Bennett Sets a new standard for genre pictures.

The Cell (2000) Tim Bennett A fascinating dreamscape of mythic imagery and Biblical undertones.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
6/10
Mission: Impossible II (2000) Ed Scharf Instead of being the next great John Woo masterpiece, it is yet another in the growing roster of action flicks that merely seem to reek of his influence.

Loser (2000) Tim Bennett I felt completely threatened, my sensibilities thoroughly offended.

Meet the Parents (2000) Shane Bitterling They say that the best comedy stems from truth, and this is the most painfully hilarious film in years.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
9/10
Dancer in the Dark (2000) Ed Scharf No matter how bizarre or off-putting the film may be at times, it is infinitely more engrossing.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
5/10
Hollow Man (2000) Ron Harner A sub-par script.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
5/10
The Way of the Gun (2000) Ed Scharf What makes for another intriguing plot is blown apart by unnecessarily long gun battles and a roster of distant, unsavory characters.

8/10
The Patriot (2000) Ron Harner The storyline remains engaging to the very last shot.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review

The Legend of Bagger Vance (2000) Ron Harner Lays up a little short in the character development department.

Whipped (2000) Tim Bennett This isn't clever. This isn't smart. It's just bad.

Men of Honor (2000) Tim Bennett The story is inspiring. But Men of Honor just isn't inspired.

The Contender (2000) Ed Scharf Rod Lurie, with the help of some great performances, has pieced together a smart political thriller that can hold its head high among the rest of its beltway brethren.

Gladiator (2000) Tim Bennett Gladiator has all the fixin's for wonderful drama.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review

A Hard Day's Night (1964) Ron Harner The rock and roll movie against which all others are measured.

Cecil B. Demented (2000) Tim Bennett Cecil B. Demented is John Waters' best film and certainly the funniest movie this year.

Where the Heart Is (2000) Ed Scharf [Portman] shows just how comfortable she can be carrying a major motion picture.

5/10
The 6th Day (2000) Ed Scharf It's tough not to think that, despite the cutting edge subject matter, it's Arnold himself that's a little out of date.

Road Trip (2000) Ed Scharf The actors manage to lift Road Trip's humor over the top.

Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000) Ed Scharf Hey, 'ja ever hear the one about the guy who was forced to watch yet another teen ensemble slasher flick? You know, the one where the guy can't take it any more, so he runs from the theater screaming?

Exorcist: The Version You've Never Seen (2000) Ron Harner With the new director's cut ... William Friedkin has found a way to make even more of your hair stand on end with some seriously creepy new scenes, improved special effects and a restored score.

Shadow of the Vampire (2000) Tim Bennett Rarely are biopics funny and rarer still are they scary. Shadow of the Vampire manages to be both.
