Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       B+           "If it sometimes overdoes its indie-film quirkiness, it ultimately makes up for it with real depth and laugh-out-loud comedy." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      (Untitled) (2009)      "Skewers the world of contemporary art in a way that's insightful and funny without becoming a broad parody." [movie review]      Film.com       D+      10,000 B.C. (2008)      "It's just a wrong movie altogether, an elaborately nonsensical stew of crazy costumes, bizarre accessories, and funny voices." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      101 Reykjavik (2001)      "Life in Iceland never looked so bland and swingin' at the same time." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D+      102 Dalmatians (2000)      "It makes me truly fearful of having to sit through 103 Dalmatians, which will be an inevitability after this one makes another $100 million." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      12 and Holding (2006)      "Directors like Todd Solondz and Larry Clark are fond of tormenting and exploiting their young characters, but Cuesta seems to sympathize with his." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D      12 Rounds (2009)      "Feels like it was written by high school students who have watched Die Hard a lot." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      13 Going on 30 (2004)      "It's a pleasant surprise that the movie holds up as well as it does for as long as it does." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      1408 (2007)      "If you like 'spooky' but not 'gross' -- if you like to be scared without being assaulted -- then 1408 should do the trick." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D+      15 Minutes (2001)      "An ugly, depraved movie that is not so much an indictment of American celebrity culture as it is a worthless pile of trash." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C+      16 Blocks (2006)      "People who go to action movies want to see action, while people who go to character dramas want the characters to be deeper and more interesting than these ones." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C-      17 Again (2009)      "Very little creative energy was expended in making this film." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C-      2 Days In Paris (2007)      "Smug and grating, having the form of the low-key Richard Linklater films Delpy has worked on but none of the substance." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C+      2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)      "A disappointing step downward ... betraying what simple vision the original film had." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C+      2012 (2009)      "A very long, very loud, and very stupid disaster flick that apparently accomplishes what it set out to do, which was to be long, loud, and stupid." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C+      21 (2008)      "This is a prime example of a movie that isn't bad, per se, just unnecessary, a competently made but wholly unremarkable trifle." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      21 Grams (2003)      "The film tries to sound ponderous in matters of death and fate, but achieves only the level of art-house pretension." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      24 Hour Party People (2002)      "Fans of that period of music should see the film post-haste; others may enjoy it purely from a filmmaking perspective, in which category it succeeds pretty well." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      25th Hour (2002)      "It is hard to argue against a film as well-acted and sensibly assembled as this one." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D      27 Dresses (2008)      "Plays like it thinks it's the first romantic comedy the audience has ever seen." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C      28 Days (2000)      "Slight, frothy and quasi-meaningful -- a 'lite' movie if ever there was one." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A      28 Days Later (2003)      "The film is endlessly suspenseful, but it is more than thrilling; it's satisfying and whole." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      28 Weeks Later (2007)      "The sequel feels cut from the same cloth as its predecessor, and is nearly as good." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      3 Extremes (2005)      "So you'd like to see work from a few Asian horror directors, but don't have time to watch three separate movies? Then here's the sampler platter you're looking for!" [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      30 Days of Night (2007)      "The rare horror film that actually lives up to its potential." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D      30 Years to Life (2002)      "An embarrassingly amateurish and cloying comedy." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      300 (2007)      "Marked by spectacularly excessive visuals, with warfare transformed into a beautiful ballet of blood." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D      3000 Miles to Graceland (2001)      "The longer the film gets, the less sense it makes." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      3:10 to Yuma (2007)      "It combines Old West values with modern filmmaking sensibilities, and it never fails to be compelling, right down to the tense, harrowing finale." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      40 Days and 40 Nights (2002)      "An entertaining sex farce." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)      "A near-perfect sex comedy, made by smart people who understand that crassness itself is not funny, but that crassness with a dash of cleverness is." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C+      The 4th Dimension (2006)      "It is a film whose concept is too often done, and usually only about as well as it's done here." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C-      50 First Dates (2004)      "Tries to cram Sandler's typically vulgar modus operandi into a format that is entirely foreign to him. The combination is unpleasant." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A      500 Days of Summer (2009)      "It's as close to perfect a romantic comedy as I've ever seen." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      5X2 (2005)      "Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi's character is the one to watch throughout the film, as it is in her demeanor that we learn all the answers -- or all the questions, anyway." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      The 6th Day (2000)      "An exciting high-tech action film that's even a little clever, in its big, blowing-things-up kind of way." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       D      8 1/2 Women (1999)      "Boring bit of European soft porn featuring characters who never stop talking about their private parts, the private parts of others, and sex." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      8 Mile (2002)      "There is a quietude to the film, even though it is punctuated by a lot of music and even more yelling. Its mood is soft and even humble." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C-      88 Minutes (2008)      "Its U.S. release feels like an obligatory gesture before sending it to DVD -- where, truth be told, it should have gone to begin with." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       1/5      9 Songs (2005)      "The story of two boring people who go to a lot of rock concerts and who, when they are not at rock concerts, have a lot of sex." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      95 Miles to Go (2006)      "It's hilarious, funnier than 'Everybody Loves Raymond' ever was." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C      A Scanner Darkly (2006)      "Without the rotoscoping, the movie would be completely undistinguished, competent but only mildly entertaining." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)      "A sad, strangely fascinating story that holds a viewer's interest but mostly leaves his emotions alone." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Aberdeen (2001)      "The movie is to be admired for refusing to romanticize alcoholism and for finding, in its bleak story, much humor and emotion." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      About a Boy (2002)      "These are characters we care about and relate to; the fact that they speak with flair and wit makes them funnier, but no less human. The movie is a gem." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A      About Schmidt (2002)      "The sharp comedy that occupies most of the film melts into a sentimental -- but not syrupy -- conclusion that is one of my favorite movie endings of the year." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Accepted (2006)      "It's not a perfect movie, and its story is ludicrous, but darned if it isn't charming in its bald-faced preposterousness." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      Across the Universe (2007)      "An innovative, marvelously constructed musical full of heart, humor, and feelings." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       C-      Acts of Worship (2001)      "Man, the life of a junkie sure does suck. I got that point fairly early in Acts of Worship, yet for some reason the movie kept telling me over and over again." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Adam (2009)      "It's actually a humorously bittersweet story buoyed by likable performances, and not an oh-geez-here-comes-another-film-about-a-saintly-disabled-person movie." [movie review]      Cinematical
