2/4
     (1997)      "Graceless star Tripplehorn -- who's called upon to execute a painful series of pratfalls in a high-tech restaurant -- is not a natural comedian, and overall the movie is awkward and leaden." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "De Felitta's portrait of Paris -- who died in June 2004 -- isn't always flattering, but it is genuinely moving on many levels, none of which require knowledge of or even interest in jazz." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2.5/4
     (1999)      "Gil Junger's TV roots are revealed in his excessive reliance on close-ups and the cast's preponderance of TV actors." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
     (2001)      "Though the film ... has been described by some critics as 'Almodovar-esque,' actor-turned-director Baltasar Kormakur's sensibility is far less outrageous." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2/5
     (2000)      "It's a good thing the dogs are as adorable as they are, because there's not much going on around them." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2.5/4
     (2006)      "The narrative is cluttered with backstory -- and the endless digressions overwhelm the efforts of a generally strong cast that includes cameos by Val Kilmer and by Ligati as one of Reggio's foot soldiers." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
     (2009)      "Wrestling star John Cena is the dead weight that drags down this brainless but energetic action picture." [movie review]      The Hollywood Reporter   
  
3/4
     (2006)      "An icy plunge into the dark depths of the human mind." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
     (2009)      "A rare example of a flat-out Indian horror movie [that] borrows liberally from The Amityville Horror playbook and familiar Asian horror tropes, but the haunted soap opera is a new wrinkle." [movie review]      Miss FlickChick   
  
7/10
     (1999)      "Feels like a bit of a rehash!" [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
6/10
     (1999)      "Murky, all - but - impossible to follow battle sequences." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
     (2007)      "Devolves into a cavalcade of gee-whiz special effects, psychological sturm und drang and false endings." [movie review]      Film Journal International   
  
     (2001)      "Doesn't work on any coherent level." [movie review]      Film Journal International   
  
2/5
     (2001)      "This would be a more provocative cri de coeur if the ideas weren't just buzzing around like a swarm of enraged bees." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/4
     (2006)      "The film's saving grace isn't that its plot is particularly unpredictable, it's that [director Richard] Donner and screenwriter Richard Wenk give the actors time to put some flesh on their characters' bones." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
     (1997)      "As a social-problem picture, 187 is a great music-video." [movie review]      Film Journal International   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "It's about finding someone whose assets outweigh the flaws and hoping that that person is mature enough to do the same for you. Weighty and downbeat though that sounds, [Delpy's] film is delightfully light." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2/5
     (2003)      "2 shallow 4 words." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/4
     (2005)      "Monica Cervera's fearless performance as the homely Marieta, whose movie-made dreams of glamour will never come true, is mesmerizing." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/5
     (2005)      "Though it ultimately devolves into megabudget Hollywood action-movie cliches by way of John Woo, Lee's handsome blockbuster is an entertaining variation on the American formulas that have colonized world cinema." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
4/5
     (2005)      "An intoxicatingly beautiful, maddeningly elliptical and utterly enthralling meditation on the fleeting pleasures and haunting aftermath of doomed romance." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2.5/4
     (2008)      "The end result is still utterly predictable, thoroughly disposable and less true than truthy." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2/4
     (2008)      "Light, formulaic and soft around the middle, choreographer-turned-director Anne Fletcher and Aline Brosh McKenna's 'always a bridesmaid... ' tale doesn't miss a pop-psych or pop-culture cliché en route to its fairy-tale ending." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
     (2000)      "Funny, thought-provoking and, yes, touching." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3.5/5
     (2003)      "This unrelenting horror tale's paranoid genius lies in equating free-floating wrath and physical sickness." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "Flawed, but it knows where it's going, and it gets there in a chilling blaze of fire, blood and poisonous fog." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/4
     (2005)      "While most anthology films have one standout and one weak link, all three tales are short, sharp shockers." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
5/10
     (2000)      "It's disposable, forgettable and aimed at an audience that doesn't care." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2.5/4
     (2007)      "Vampires stage a blood orgy in a tiny Alaskan town that spends a month of every year sunk in the darkness of polar winter in this gory adaptation of Steve Niles' popular graphic novel." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2.5/5
     (2002)      "The movie's low budget shows, but the competent (many of them also sitcom veterans) cast keeps things moving smoothly." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "It may not be by-the-book history -- a relative term in any event, when discussing the ancients whose worldview embraced men, gods and monsters -- but what a spectacle!" [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
1.5/5
     (2001)      "The smirking dialogue plays especially poorly in juxtaposition with the excessive violence." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/4
     (1998)      "Time and tragedy may have flattened the four girls into remote paragons of youthful virtue, but the viciousness of anti-integrationist rhetoric is palpable and should never be forgotten." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
     (2006)      "Handsomely photographed but painfully fey." [movie review]      Film Journal International   
  
2.5/4
     (1998)      "A shapeless homage to the glory that was Studio 54 in its decadent heyday..." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/5
     (2004)      "Though Quentin Tarantino's influence is clear, writer-director Pen-Ek Ratanaruang imbues this material with an engaging energy and a bittersweet undercurrent of alienated sorrow that makes it seem fresh." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
8/10
     (2000)      "The good news is, Arnold Schwarzenegger's commitment probably got this ambitious sci-fi thriller made. The bad news is, it would have been better without him." [movie review]      Film Journal International   
  
2.5/5
     (2002)      "What's most disappointing is the thoroughly cliched story." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/5
     (2002)      "This theatrical whim is like a dessert so rich it's almost inedible but too irresistible to put down." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/5
          "Pays homage to the golden age of spaghetti Westerns and gleefully skewers the romantic image of cowboy righteousness that fuels American theme parks, country music, political campaigns and cigarette ads." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
1/4
     (2008)      "Might have made an entertainingly direct-to-DVD B-movie thriller with the courage of its sleazy convictions. But expectations are different for a theatrical feature starring Al Pacino, and by those standards it's a preposterous misfire." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
6/10
     (1998)      "Pure voyeuristic sleaze!" [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
    
9
(2009)
     "A flat-out gorgeous vision of a devastated world whose script is as thin and formulaic as the imagery is rich and original." [movie review]      AMCtv.com   
  
2.5/5
     (2005)      "Aimed at the head rather than the heart, Karz's film is intended to encourage wide-ranging thought and promote constructive debate, useful ambitions in a post-9/11 world too often characterized by hard-line ideology and us-against-them thinking." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2/4
     (2006)      "Romano and Caltabiano mostly watch TV and squabble about whose fault it is they're running a few minutes late." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/4
     (2006)      "Richard Linklater wraps novelist Philip K. Dick's paranoid, prescient nightmare of addiction and identity lost down the rabbit hole in the same rotoscoped animation that helped produce the blissed-out groove of his Waking Life." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3/5
     (2001)      "A slickly crafted fable, however dark, but it's shot with haunting poetry." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
     (2001)      "The film's style is best described as utilitarian, but it gets the job done." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
2.5/4
     (2005)      "There's no denying that Alan Abel is a character, and any glimpse behind the schemes is better than none." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide   
  
3.5/5
     (2001)      "A raw, haunting experience." [movie review]      TV Guide's Movie Guide
