2/5
     (2004)      "For a good hour the film breezes along on the promise that there will be a moment when everything coalesces and its point becomes clear. But the moment never comes." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
1.5/4
     (2007)      "It's tough going relieved only by some lovely Irish scenery." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
1.5/5
     (2002)      "Dominated by an unshaven Guttenberg mugging, ranting, screaming and hurling himself around the luxurious loft set we're meant to believe is a squalid dump that serves as a nagging reminder to Jimmy of his inadequacies." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
     (2007)      "An efficient scare package that breaks no new ground but gets the job done." [movie review]      Film Journal International   
  
3/5
     (2002)      "Bolstered by exceptional performances and a clear-eyed take on the economics of dealing and the pathology of ghetto fabulousness." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2/5
     (2005)      "It's a mean-spirited and obvious excuse to wallow in physical and moral ugliness no matter how you look at it." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
4/4
     (2006)      "Ranks with the best examinations of children's inner lives, but be warned: Its haunting insights are best left to adults." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
     (2009)      "Cobbled together from chunks of Battlestar Galactica, The Descent, Serenity, Cube, Resident Evil, Event Horizon and Alien ... Pandorum is an efficient scare machine if you ignore the plot contrivances." [movie review]      Horror Hacker   
  
3/5
     (2002)      "A well-crafted exercise in urban paranoia that's so controlled it never achieves the reckless, visceral immediacy its subject matter demands." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
1.5/5
     (2004)      "This mean-spirited revenge story would once have starred Cole Hauser's father, veteran B-movie psycho Wings Hauser, and played grindhouses and drive-ins. And it would have been a far more entertaining picture." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "If less thematically dazzling than Millennium Actress, it's suffused with a giddy sense of the seething, mutable landscape of the mind." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
     (2009)      "A campfire story for the cyber generation, a bogey tale wrapped in time codes and misplaced faith in the power of technology to banish ghosties, ghoulies and long-leggedy beasties." [movie review]      Miss FlickChick   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "You never know what you'll get, but it will always look ravishing." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/4
     (1995)      "The cast is uniformly excellent -- particularly the relentlessly effervescent Posey and the imperious Sasha von Scherler, the director's mother -- and the modern take on old-fashioned romantic comedy is surprisingly effective." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3.5/5
     (2003)      "Green's St. James steals the picture out from under [Culkin] (poetic justice of a sort), and the supporting cast is nothing short of amazing." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/5
     (2003)      "Leitch's previous foray into political documentary, the sloppy, anarchic 'The Last Party' was overwhelmed by the juvenile antics of its host, Robert Downey Jr., Hoffman establishes a more sober tone, though the new film isn't without its lighter moments." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/5
     (2004)      "Never dull -- no mean feat, given that it spends two hours telling a story whose end is widely known -- and features performances that range from coarsely effective to phenomenal." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/5
     (2005)      "Caviezel may have been cast for his martyr's mien, but it's the face of Morgenstern's stoic, grief-stricken Mary that will linger long after the bloodbath has run its course." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2/5
     (2003)      "This slight and pleasantly predictable film coasts along on the considerable charms of its cast and exotic setting." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
7/10
     (2000)      "The film is undeniably handsome ... but no cliché is left unturned." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3.5/4
     (1998)      "The story is rooted in real feelings and relationships, and parents will find as much to enjoy as children." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
1.5/5
     (2001)      "Sumptuous but undermined by stilted dialogue and awkward performances." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2.5/5
     (2000)      "Hunt and Spacey have zero onscreen chemistry, and their extravagantly praised performances seem built on the classic Hollywood wisdom that you can't go wrong letting yourself look really awful." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
6/10
     (1999)      "A mean-spirited cartoon beneath a thin veneer of faux-grit!" [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2/5
     (2003)      "Once Jennings starts McGuyvering his way out of trouble using items from his manila envelope of tricks, the story careens into a brain-dead end." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2.5/4
     (2006)      "A textbook example of how not to visualize spiritual principles of the 'be here now' variety." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2.5/5
     (2001)      "Clearly, neither screenwriter Randall Wallace nor director Michael Bay ever met a cliche he didn't embrace." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2/5
     (2003)      "Pacino's no-holds-barred performance is either the reason to see this tepid thriller or the reason to avoid it." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
     (1997)      "A must-see for fans of Japanese animation, and might make the genre a few converts." [movie review]      Film Journal International   
  
1.5/4
     (2007)      "Mixes rehashed inspirational-film cliches and urban humor, to no good effect." [movie review]      Time Out New York   
  
8/10
     (2000)      "The book is a far more rewarding experience than the movie." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2.5/4
     (2006)      "The film, though admirably ambitious, is resolutely earthbound, mired in ick and slime and never more wooden than in the delirious climax." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
8/10
     (1998)      "Witty!" [movie review]      Boxoffice Magazine   
  
3/5
     (2003)      "Simultaneously groundbreaking and remarkably faithful to the classic play about the boy who won't grow up." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
     (1998)      "Koontz and director Joe Chappelle know how to tighten the screws-it may be a mechanical skill, but it's one many horror writers and directors haven't mastered." [movie review]      Film Journal International   
  
1/4
     (2006)      "If writer-director Nnegest Likke's booster speech in movie form were as funny as it is relentlessly on-message, it would be a world-class gut buster." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/5
     (2003)      "The payoff doesn't quite equal the intensity of the spectacularly squirm-inducing premise, but Farrell takes his showboating star turn and runs with it." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/4
     (1997)      "Clever and creepy as hell." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2/5
     (2002)      "Leaves viewers out in the cold and undermines some phenomenal performances." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/4
     (2006)      "[The film] combines live action and their trademark animation into a creepy, glittering object whose dreamlike quality are mesmerizing to a particular kind of sensibility." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2.5/4
     (2007)      "The result is has a certain silly, kid-friendly charm, and Yu astutely chose to clean up C-Dog's profane language by 'bleeping' the harsher bits with the sound of a bouncing basketball." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2.5/4
     (2007)      "Minute-per-dollar, you get your money's worth, but an hour after you leave you'd be hard put to summarize the plot in any coherent way. If that's entertainment, then step right up!" [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2.5/4
     (2006)      "You can't beat on Dead Man's Chest on value-for-money terms, but it's like an all-you-can-eat buffet -- everything's tasty, the surfeit is sickening." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
     (2000)      "Infinitely more watchable than the bloated, baffling Supernova." [movie review]      Film Journal International   
  
7/10
     (2000)      "Though highly derivative of Alien, this handsomely photographed, briskly directed sci-fi fright picture is enjoyable enough on its own limited terms." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2.5/4
     (2005)      "Embry and first-time actress Sparks have charming chemistry, but Christopher's slight screenplay wears out its welcome long before the film -- which runs a scant 80 minutes -- is over." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/4
     (2008)      "Benson Lee’s feel-good documentary profiles five break-dancing crews as they prepare to compete at German promoter Thomas Hergenrother's international 'Battle of the Year' in 2005." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2.5/5
     (2004)      "Hopkins possesses a Candide-like equanimity in the face of bizarre happenstance that is thoroughly charming and keeps the story's excesses from becoming exasperating." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2.5/5
     (2001)      "Whatever the faults of the first Planet and its sequels, they were all about something; this film is pure, empty (if gorgeous) spectacle." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
     (1998)      "Feisty, funky, sympathetic without being condescending to the bad hand dealt many single mothers, and rudely funny to boot." [movie review]      Film Journal International
