C
     (2009)      "Top voice talent and good 3D computer graphics cannot make up for the fact that this film is utterly synthetic as well as crass, loud, and vulgar." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
4/5
     (1999)      "We really come to care about the characters." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B-
     (2007)      "Some audiences will find it as sugary as a fruit-scented princess pony sticker book, but its intended viewers will be delighted." [movie review]      Beliefnet

B+
     (2004)      "Braff's control of tone, his mastery of image, and feel for creating moments of moments of great sweetness and insight are the qualities of a great film-maker." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C-
     (2004)      "As someone once said about the "Nancy" comic strip, it is easier to read it than not to read it. If only that were true of this movie, which requires real effort to endure." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C-
     (2006)      "This is lowest common denominator movie-making. It's all obvious and synthetic, derivative to the point of plagiarism." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
5/5
     (1944)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C
     (2007)      "Minow rule: If Hector Elizondo barely makes an appearance in a Garry Marshall film, watch out. If the only place Marshall can find for him is a few seconds on screen as a character with a funny name, the movie is in trouble." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B-
     (2005)      "At least he makes his priorities clear; it's not called "Make a Good Movie or Die Tryin'." " [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2008)      "It shrewdly tweaks the original, making Smart smarter and more capable and ramping up the action, and the result is a refreshingly entertaining summer popcorn movie." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
C
     (2007)      "If Ghost Rider wanted to fetch something of value, he should have been out there looking for a better script." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B
     (2008)      "The script is over-long and clunky and the visuals are claustrophobic and sit-com-ish. But Gervais and Leoni are so completely charming that they make it work." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
C
     (2009)      "Not as deep as Matthew McConaughey's dimples." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
4/5
     (2001)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
D
     (2004)      "In the most cynical manner, this movie smugly attempts to have it both ways. The ultimate conclusion is all the more smarmy for trying not to be." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B
     (2003)      "At the end, after being teased and seduced, we are at last allowed to gaze on the famous portrait itself, more fascinating and complete than any attempt to build upon it. " [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
4/5
     (2000)      "Astounding scope and sweep and such masterful story-telling." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2006)      "The performers serve the story, acting with humility and respect, never going for the glamour or the drama." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C
     (2006)      "But other than a flicker of something interesting in the performance of Alessandro Nivola as a hard-partying star player there is always something distant and antiseptic about it all." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B-
     (2003)      "The film-maker's relentless even-handedness removes whatever drama the story might have had by making every one of the characters endlessly honorable, devoted to God, home, and family, good to the slaves, and able to spout poetry or the Bible." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C-
     (2004)      "A mishmash of jumpy surprises and creepy portents, with a dash of exposition drivel, some scenery-chewing, and stuff that even in suspending disbelief mode makes no sense. " [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
2/5
     (1998)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2007)      "Sweeping, imaginative, epic, thrilling." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
B+
     (2007)      "The stand-out is Amy Ryan as Amanda's almost-feral mother, in a full-on performance of breathtaking courage and mastery of detail." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

5/5
     (1939)      "It could be -- and should be -- viewed from a dozen different perspectives, but it is, above all, a story about adapting to the most challenging circumstances possible." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B-
     (2003)      "It's a watered-down canine version of "ET." But it has a cute kid and some even cuter dogs." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
A-
     (2009)      "Should be seen by everyone, especially mothers and daughters, to remind us that all hair is good hair and that beauty is more about how we feel than how we look." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
D
     (2007)      "It is the audience who will feel cursed." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
A
     (2005)      "I love this movie so much I wanted to go up and hug the screen when it was over." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2006)      "There are no impeccably tailored dinner jackets to wear while sipping stirred martinis, no brainy bombshells to seduce, no cool gadgets, no sportscars. This is dirty -- in all senses of the word -- tradecraft." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
5/5
     (1997)      "Mature teens will appreciate this story, written by its appealing two stars, of a brilliant young man with a troubled past." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B-
     (2006)      " Plonk is a Britishism for cheap, low-quality wine -- not undrinkable, by any means, just nothing special. As much could be said for this film, lightly based on the helium-weight plonk of a best-seller by Peter Mayle." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B-
     (2009)      "This is slash and burn, shock and awe comedy and it's cheery outrageousness makes enough of it work to, in Don Ready's terms, make the sale." [movie review]      Beliefnet

B
     (2003)      "A reverent, moving, and dignified depiction of the life of Christ as described in the New Testament." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C-
     (2003)      "Begins as a promisingly creepy thriller but then falls apart." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B
     (2007)      "The strong family ties on screen and behind the camera and some gritty authenticity of place and feeling remind us how what could have been cliche can have the power of archetype." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
5/5
     (1940)      "This brilliant film shows us a family of enormous dignity and commitment." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B
     (2009)      "Hanks is a likeable onscreen presence with an easy affability." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
B+
     (2007)      "Ultimately, as it should be, what carries the day is the power of the arguments and our recognition that it is forming these positions that will lead to the foundation of the civil rights era." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
5/5
     (1963)      "The story gives us an exceptional example of teamwork and loyalty." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

B
     (2005)      "Gets a little lost in the rough, but straight down the middle is a nice underdog story about a 20-year-old former caddy who beats the greatest player in the world. " [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

     (1999)      "A thoughtful, intelligent movie with outstanding direction." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B-
     (2006)      "It's about as subtle as a tackle by a 300-pound tight end, but is is a pleasantly heartwarming journey." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
D
     (2003)      "The press materials for this movie explain that "grind" refers to a particularly spectacular skateboarding move. In my case, it referred to what my teeth were doing as I had to sit through this dumb and boring movie." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
