4.5/5
     (2007)      "the only film out this summer I have been begging everyone to see, and the one film I'm willing to see again and again." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
3/4
     (2006)      "Takes the inspirational-teacher formula and reverses it point by point to create a fresh struggle with familiar messages." [movie review]      Charlotte Weekly   
  
2/5
     (2002)      "Don Michael Paul uses quick-cuts, (very) large shadows and wide-angle shots taken from a distance to hide the liberal use of a body double (for Seagal)." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
3.5/5
     (2009)      "now, at least, I understand the hoopla surrounding this spunky, cool, and charismatic young performer" [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
1.5/5
     (2007)      "As bad as Hannibal Rising is -- and believe me, it's terrible -- this fictional biography of the beloved Dr. Hannibal Lecter could have been worse." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
     (1964)      "A kinetic musical extravaganza that proved to detractors there was more to the Beatles than mop-tops and melodic pop hooks." [movie review]      Citysearch   
  
     (2001)      "Hardball might have been a decent movie, if it wasn't so racially insensitive, monotonous, stale, insulting and completely predictable." [movie review]      Eclipse Magazine   
  
B-
     (2004)      "[Cho and Penn] form an immediately likeable twosome with enough chemistry to carry this comedy ... past some obvious faults." [movie review]      Eclipse Magazine   
  
B+
     (2002)      "Returns the original’s cast and director, and retains that film’s winning combination of limitless imagination and exhilarating adventure." [movie review]      Eclipse Magazine   
  
2.5/4
     (2005)      "An acceptable but far from challenging adaptation that almost any director could duplicate." [movie review]      Charlotte Weekly   
  
3.5/4
     (2009)      "Smaller, intimate, personal and fragile. It almost feels as if nothing happens ... until you step back and realize everything is happening in this film." [movie review]      Charlotte Weekly   
  
A
     (2004)      "How ironic that a story dealing with an escaped prisoner actually manages to set this franchise free." [movie review]      Eclipse Magazine   
  
     (2001)      "No, I didn't think (Columbus) would be able to do it this well, either, but I stand corrected." [movie review]      Eclipse Magazine   
  
1/4
     (2006)      "Bale is more sparkler than powder keg, though he's only one of many actors who give terribly overblown performances." [movie review]      Charlotte Weekly   
  
3/5
     (2003)      "Rock and co-screenwriter Ali LeRoi save their best material for the campaign, when State's anonymous political party morphs into an old school house party, electric slide and all." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
3.5/5
     (2007)      "the brothers' most deliberate effort to recapture that Mary magic." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
     (2001)      "It's difficult to believe these unpolished, self-centered vixens could master a con." [movie review]      Citysearch   
  
     (2001)      "Once again, Hicks filters a best-selling author's beautful prose through his camera's lens with lifeless results." [movie review]      Eclipse Magazine   
  
B-
     (2004)      "Extremely original yet routine in parts." [movie review]      Eclipse Magazine   
  
2.5/5
     (2005)      "Brainless but painless" [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
C
     (2004)      "Why am I so surprised that a movie about a grueling endurance race takes so long to reach its own finish line?" [movie review]      Eclipse Magazine   
  
1/4
     (2005)      "Isn’t so much a bad movie as it is a despicable one." [movie review]      Charlotte Weekly   
  
     (2000)      "Adrian Paul carries the burden here, making Endgame feel like an extended episode of the popular television show." [movie review]      Citysearch   
  
2/4
     (2006)      "The unique duplication of stage cast to screen cast might be the most exciting thing about this conventional classroom exercise." [movie review]      Charlotte Weekly   
  
A-
     (2005)      "Thought-provoking drama that's content to reveal its puzzle pieces, even though they don't all snap firmly into place." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B-
     (2005)      "Proves how the occasional TV actor (or two) can, indeed, make a smooth transition to motion pictures." [movie review]      Charlotte Weekly   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "Stretches credibility for the benefit of its premise but never bends so far as to break the whole ride." [movie review]      Charlotte Weekly   
  
2/5
     (2003)      "Plods along with the velocity of molasses and really does feel like manual labor." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
3/5
     (2006)      "largely entertains, but has no business being two hours and 15 minutes long" [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
2/5
     (2003)      "Shelton coerces a handful of noteworthy performances from his cast, but does nothing with his paint-by-numbers detective story." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
2/5
     (2006)      "It's not unheard of for a movie detective to be more interesting than the corpse he (or she) is investigating. This just isn't one of those times." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com

D+
     (2005)      "By the film's conclusion, Willis grows tired of the holes in his plot and starts putting holes in the bad guys. This from a guy who swore off action movies." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2004)      "Despite the shocking realities, you’ll leave Rwanda discussing one positive above all the negatives, and that’s Cheadle’s tremendous performance." [movie review]      Charlotte Weekly   
  
3/5
     (2002)      "Conjures some spectacular settings and grown-up topics, but has no story to speak of." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com

2/4

3.5/5
     (2003)      "(Lee) successfully elevates the comic book adaptation to an art form without forgetting his source." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
C+
     (2003)      "Whenever the screenplay bogs down the hunt with inconsequential matters ... Friedkin sweeps these issues away and coaxes his antagonists to lock horns." [movie review]      Eclipse Magazine   
  
2.5/5
