This is fitting for the film but leaves the viewer without a character to like." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      101 Reykjavik (2001)      "...there is more intelligence and humor in this 93-minute diamond-in-the-rough than in 10 American coming-of-age flicks." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       7/10      102 Dalmatians (2000)      "Costuming by Academy Award winner Anthony Powell is a major asset for the film." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      12 (2007)      "Director Nikita Mikhalkov makes the well-known material fresh and new." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       A-      12:08 East of Bucharest (2007)      "...intelligent, funny and has a palpable joie de vie." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       C-      13 Going on 30 (2004)      "Thank you Jennifer Garner. You made a thoroughly mediocre movie a bit better than it has any right to be" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      13 Tzameti (2006)      "...a film noir look reminiscent of the 1940's but with an excitement that is thoroughly new millennium" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      1408 (2007)      "My only complaint with the film is that it takes a bit too long to find its ending." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews            15 Minutes (2001)      "Good drama that tells its story in a fresh, interesting way." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      2 Days In Paris (2007)      "As director, Delpy moves her fine cast with precision and grace. As screenwriter, she exhibits a sure hand at comedy. And, as an actress, she shows a wonderfully assured presence." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)      "["2 Fast 2 Furious"] has an energy of its own that allows it to stand on its own two feet. Or, is that “on its own four tires”?" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      2046 (2005)      "2046 is a must for fans of Wong Kar Wai with its subtle intrigues and interesting character studies." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      21 Grams (2003)      "The ability to keep the multiplicity of stories and the interconnected timelines as focused as he does gives firm belief that we have a filmmaker well on the road to greatness" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      25th Hour (2002)      "[Spike Lee] doesn’t always hit his target (like with “Bamboozled”), but he does with “25th Hour.”" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       C      27 Dresses (2008)      "...little more than a dolled up mannequin." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B-      28 Weeks Later (2007)      "...you won't be bored." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       C      3 Needles (2006)      "3 Needles is a case of diminishing returns with the first story of blood running in China the best and the last, set in Africa, the least compelling." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      3-Iron (2005)      "...nary a word is spoken (directly, at least) between the two leads and, instead of being ponderous or pretentious, it gives the film a light, airy feel." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      300 (2007)      "CGI fans are going to love 300, as will the fanboys who get a goodly dose of the gratuitous sex, nudity and ultra-violent combat that they hope for." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      3:10 to Yuma (2007)      "I encourage those that go to see the new 3:10 to Yuma to seek out the original on cable/satellite TV or on DVD rental (it is available). Although both tell the same story, each is done with its own sense of style." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       C+      40 Days and 40 Nights (2002)      "less than I had hoped for...but just about what I had expected." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)      "The 40-Year-Old Virgin is possibly the best comedy of the year" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      48 Heures par Jour (2008)      "Director Castel does a solid job in marshalling her large cast (friends and family abound around the little family) while delving into the real issues of the responsibility of both parents in raising their children." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      50 First Dates (2004)      "There is something for almost everyone in “50 First Dates” and I recommend it as a first-rate first date flick." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      500 Days of Summer (2009)      "...an excellent date film aimed at those beyond the usual tweenie audience." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       D-      54 (1998)      "A mish-mash of bad writing, poor acting (except Myers), amateur directing and mediocre production credits." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      6ixtynin9 (2004)      "“6ixtynin9” is darkly funny, tongue in cheek humor that shows the ingrained talent of its director and his deft hand at the helm." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      8 Mile (2002)      "Middle-aged folks may not be attracted to the film's rap base but the built in youth demographic will love it." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      8 Women (2002)      "[Francois] Ozon creates a retro film that resonates with qualities and concepts that harkens back to the 50’s and 60’s." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       D      8MM (1998)      "It's pretty sad that a big star/big budget film about a gritty piece of life that should powerfully effect the viewer at the gut level fails so miserably." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      9 (2009)      "The attention to details, such as the individual costume of each of the diminutive sack bots and the brilliantly intricate background art, make this a great piece of elegant eye candy." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       C+      A Scanner Darkly (2006)      "The stars [Reeves, Downey Jr., Harrelson, Ryder and Cochrane] are at one with Linklater and his vision of a future, screwed up world (like this one isn't screwed up!)." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       C+      A Tout de Suite (2005)      "A Tout de Suite is a sometimes-interesting film, particularly its first 30 minutes, but runs on long after the intrigue ends..." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B-      A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)      "A.I. is certainly more thought provoking than any summer blockbuster we've been presented with yet this season, but it leaves us wishing Spielberg had applied more of Kubrick's obsessive fine tuning." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       D+      Abandon (2002)      "...a surprisingly huge disappointment from [Stephen] Gaghan considering his Oscar-winning screenplay for “Traffic”" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      About Schmidt (2002)      "Jack Nicholson gives one of his best performances in years..." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       C+      Absolute Power (1997)      "Good actors elevate this disappointing and lame effort by a respected filmmaker." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       A-      Across the Universe (2007)      "The DVD two-disk set gives us the remarkable movie plus lots of extras" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       C+      Actresses (2007)      "The mix of the endless rehearsals, Marcelline's lack of grip both personally and professionally and her surreal imaginings make for an uneven film." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       A      Adaptation (2002)      "“Adaptation” is a film buff’s dream." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       C-      Adolphe (2003)      "[Isabelle] Adjani is lovely to look at and wears her luxurious costumes beautifully but does nothing to make her character sympathetic. [Stanislas] Merhar is, in a word, dull." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B+      The Adventures of Felix (2001)      "...it does provide a charismatic telling of a young man's journey to find himself..." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       D      Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005)      "Some dreams are better left unrealized. " [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       C-      The Affair of the Necklace (2001)      "[after 90 minutes] the film drags on for another half-hour and unnecessarily pads the finale until it seems interminable." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       A-      Afghan Star (2009)      "...insightful document that gives you so much more than the well-done look at a reality show." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      After Innocence (2005)      "[Documaker] Jennifer Sanders builds a solid foundation in making the point that, sometimes, our system of justice does the wrong thing, no matter how well meaning." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      After the Life (2002)      "“After Life,” takes a more somber tone than the first two films [in "The Trilogy"]" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       C-      Against the Ropes (2003)      "“Against the Ropes” spent 6 months in release hell before finally getting plunked down in the winter doldrums. The utter mediocrity of the film tells you why." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B-      Aileen: The Life and Death of a Serial Killer (2003)      "Aileen is, if anything, a scathing indictment against the death penalty and its proponents, keeping with the concept that all life is precious." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews       B      Air Guitar Nation (2007)      "Air Guitar Nation will appeal to genuine musicians and those who play their fake guitars behind closed doors." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews
