3/4
     (2004)      "The result is an intriguing and satisfying romance that may hold some appeal even for those who normally do not like films about affairs of the heart." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
2/4
     (2007)      "P.S. I Love You is the cinematic equivalent of a Celine Dion song." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
2.5/4
     (2007)      "A serviceable gore-minded thriller --- a competent execution of a premise that ultimately becomes hampered by its inherent constraints." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
1.5/4
     (2005)      "Vin Diesel is better than the material, but, no matter how hard he tries, he can't rise above the puerile screenplay." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
3/4
     (1994)      "This clever, often engaging, and always fast-paced motion picture uses the visual medium to encourage its viewers to reach out with their imagination." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
3/4
     (2006)      "The movie achieves a rare balance for an historical fiction: making use of the backdrop without allowing it to overwhelm the characters and their story." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
1.5/4
     (2005)      "A shallow, transparent satire/social commentary, Palindromes lives and dies on a gimmick." [movie review]      ReelViews

3.5/4
     (2006)      "An achievement. Many films with 'split personalities' invest all their creative energy into one aspect of the story, causing the other one to founder and feel obligatory." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
2.5/4
     (2000)      "Once you've seen the first hour, there's really no need to sit through the rest, since almost everything that transpires during the final thirty minutes is easily predicted by anyone who understands the conventional storyline handbook." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
3.5/4
     (2002)      "The suspense in Panic Room never ebbs, and that makes for a thoroughly entertaining -- if somewhat exhausting -- 108 minutes." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
1.5/4
     (2004)      "One has the sense that if the level of violence had been ratcheted up a little, Paparazzi might have been more of a guilty pleasure and less of a chore to watch." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
3/4
     (1994)      "A crowd pleaser, and, regardless of any viewer's experience (or lack thereof) with the behind-the-scenes wrangling that goes on in newspaper offices, the story is affable and entertaining." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
2/4
     (2009)      "It's easy to see how this quirky, offbeat approach could seem refreshing within the rarefied, hermetic atmosphere of a festival. Elsewhere, however, it comes across as amateurish and considerably less charming." [movie review]      ReelViews

3/4
     (2005)      "The film offers food for thought, and reminds us that, in any war, one who understands the mindset of his opponent gains an important tactical advantage." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
3.5/4

3/4
     (2008)      "Paranoid Park, while still off the beaten path, is less self-absorbed and pretentious than anything Van Sant has crafted since Finding Forrester." [movie review]      ReelViews

3/4
     (2009)      "Paris keeps us involved not because of momentous plot developments but because the production incites our curiosity to see what will happen next." [movie review]      ReelViews

3.5/4
     (2004)      "A gripping, powerful motion picture -- arguably the most forceful depiction of Jesus' death ever to be committed to film." [movie review]      ReelViews

3.5/4
     (1954)      "This is the kind of motion picture that will stay with you for hours, or perhaps even days, after you've left the theater, and that's a rare characteristic for any movie." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
1.5/4
     (2007)      "The movie is filmed in a way that makes it seem like the camera has epilepsy and the color desaturation renders everything murky. Someone should remind director Marcus Nispel that there's a difference between making a music video and a feature film." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
2/4
     (2000)      "There's not much to get excited about." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
4/4
     (1970)      "Remains to this day one of Hollywood's most compelling biographical war pictures." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
2.5/4
     (2009)      "It's a juvenile motion picture designed primarily for a juvenile audience. But there's a little more here than one might reasonably expect." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
3/4
     (2000)      "Both affecting and effective." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
3/4
     (1999)      "It is well written, contains a flock of colorful characters, and gives star Mel Gibson a number of great one-liners." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
1.5/4
     (2003)      "Paycheck is bad enough that it may convince some movie-goers not to go to another film just because it was made by John Woo." [movie review]      ReelViews

2/4
     (2001)      "Better to wait until it's available on video and you have the option of using a fast-forward button." [movie review]      ReelViews

2/4
     (1993)      "An unnecessarily-long thriller that contains far more talking than action." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
2.5/4
     (2008)      "Much as I would like to give Penelope unreserved praise, I can't stretch my lukewarm approbation that far." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
3.5/4
     (1996)      "You don't have to like the man to support his struggles and enjoy this dramatization of them." [movie review]      ReelViews

3/4
     (1996)      "Fascinating, if more than a little depressing" [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
2.5/4
     (2009)      "This could have been a triumph of structure over story if only the importance of the structure had been better camouflaged." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
1.5/4
     (1998)      "...A Perfect Murder has inexplicably managed to eliminate almost everything that was worthwhile about Dial M for Murder, leaving behind the nearly-unwatchable wreckage of a would-be '90s thriller." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
1.5/4
     (2004)      "Next time, director Robbins and his screenwriters should spend a few hours inside a real high school rather than re-hashing stock stereotypes from bad '80s movies." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
3/4
     (2000)      "Exciting, engaging, and, at times, majestic." [movie review]      ReelViews   
  
1.5/4
     (2007)      "What would happen if a late-night, D-grade direct-to-cable thriller excised all of the raunchily enjoyable elements and managed to attract an A-list cast? The result might be shockingly like Perfect Stranger." [movie review]      ReelViews
