The Italian Job (2003) Dan Lybarger Still, when it's working, the current film is as sweet as a plate of cannoli.

8/10
Finding Nemo (2003) Dan Lybarger Thanks to a solid script by director Andrew Stanton (a Pixar regular), many of the human actors who give voices to the computer-generated fish wind up becoming more engaging than when they appear in flesh-and-blood.

7/10
The Trials of Henry Kissinger (2002) Dan Lybarger Jarecki and Gibney do find enough material to bring Kissinger's record into question and explain how the diplomat's tweaked version of statecraft may have cost thousands and possibly millions of lives.

4/10
The Core (2003) Dan Lybarger Instead of whisking viewers to a previously unseen environment that can't yet be explored outside of a movie theater, The Core proves that the computer-generated images can be just as dull as the people who inhabit the film.

Die Another Day (2002) Dan Lybarger Die Another Day, the latest entry in the series, almost rejuvenates the franchise because it jettisons Bond's safety net early on.

3/5
Battling Butler (1926) Dan Lybarger One of the Great Stone Face's lesser vehicles but still worth a look.

4/5
Death of a Salesman (1985) Dan Lybarger Schlndorff's artificial settings and some amazing performances help keep this from looking like a typical "filmed play."

Darkman (1990) Dan Lybarger A creative, if somewhat incoherent, flick.

5/10
Manna From Heaven (2001) Dan Lybarger Like a homemade scarf, Manna from Heaven is warm, fuzzy and clearly made with love. At times it's easy to overlook the clumsiness of the way it's stitched together.

4/5
Vanya on 42nd Street (1994) Dan Lybarger A lively and intriguing adaptation of Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya."

3/5
Julius Caesar (1953) Dan Lybarger Brando shows some surprising flair with the Tudor dialogue, but this adaptation needs a little brushing up.

4/10
Super Troopers (2001) Dan Lybarger . Curiously, Super Troopers suffers because it doesn't have enough vices to merit its 103-minute length.

7/10
The Devil's Backbone (2001) Dan Lybarger The Devil's Backbone is a ghost story that would probably be scary even if the phantoms who inhabit it weren't around.

3.5/4

Gladiator (2000) Dan Lybarger Thanks to a combination of real locations and convincing computer-generated effects, Scott can create sweeping vistas and that Cecil B. DeMille would envy.

2.5/4
Waking the Dead (2000) Dan Lybarger The result Keith Gordon's gamble is a movie that intrigues and occasionally frustrates anyone willing to take a chance on it.

8/10
Three Kings (1999) Dan Lybarger Three Kings is the rarest sort of action movie. It offers the expected adrenaline jolt, but it also has a surprising amount of heart and intelligence.
