B
     (2006)      "If the details of the plot wind up fuzzy and nearly irrelevant, Dick and Linklater's paranoiac vision remains in the memory." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
A
     (2001)      "Bizarre, upsetting, wonderful." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C-
     (2002)      "I don't see why a movie was made out of so banal a story, or why Gaghan works in such a portentious style." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B
     (2002)      "The movie is touching because it's not to sweet, and funny because it doesn't try too hard." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C+
     (2002)      "Payne has assembled a collection of brilliant elements here, but not all of them belong in the same movie." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C-
     (2006)      "Accepted has the ideas and the energy to be a college classic in the vein of Animal House and Old School, but it doesn't have the comic juice." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
D+
     (2002)      "An unfortunate return to form for Adam Sandler" [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B+
     (2002)      "The dynamo of Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman can still shock and "wow" us into submission." [movie review]      Film Blather

C
     (2003)      "Obvious, irritating boxing girl power movie." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C
     (2002)      "Silly wish-fulfillment fairy tale not too far above Like Mike in the cinematic hierarchy." [movie review]      Film Blather

C
     (2004)      "I was going to say something clever here, like 'forget The Alamo,' but then I realized that wasn't clever at all. Whoops. Still, the point stands." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C+
     (2003)      "A gimmick plus a formula." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
D
     (2004)      "It is such a majestic disaster, that I have a bizarre sort of affection for it, like for a weirdly deformed child, maybe." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C
     (2001)      "Long, unfocused and too often plagued by the curse of the biopic." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
A-
     (1979)      "A crucial film, a unique meld of genuine science-fiction and hardcore horror." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B-
     (2009)      "An affectionate, almost reverent homage to the science fiction of the 1950s: Not a lampoon so much as a faithful recreation." [movie review]      AMCtv.com   
  
B+
     (2009)      "What distinguishes it from the slasher flock, however, isn't its kills, but its smarts: the extent to which it taps into the high school psyche and recontextualizes its usual sex-alcohol-and-drugs temptations." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B
     (2003)      "I could see its many virtues and couldn't find any particular flaws, and yet I never connected with it" [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
A-
     (2000)      "It left me in a great mood. I wanted to hug someone." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B-
     (2001)      "The film is never less than a guilty pleasure, but it leaves you unsatisfied and hungry for closure." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C+
     (2004)      "The fringes are full of brilliant digressions and hilarious supporting turns, but the central story is a black hole." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B-
     (2007)      "The movie is sloppy and not very good, but certain aspects have stubbornly stuck: what it gets right, it gets right, and all credit where it's due." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C-
     (2007)      "By far the funniest thing about this painful, if not quite insufferable, family comedy from Fox is its bold stance against merchandising and tie-in marketing." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C
     (2001)      "It's not every day that you see a film so enamored with its own quirkiness." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C
     (2001)      "What happens when satire gets lazy." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
A
     (1999)      "The dark, deeply ironic ending, though given away by our narrator in the first few minutes of the movie, stays with you for weeks after it's all over." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C
     (2006)      "I doubt that American Dreamz is much smarter than what it's satirizing. It hasn't earned the right to scorn." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B
     (2007)      "Its politics could have muddled and distracted, but instead the presence of a point of view staved off biopic boredom." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
8/10
     (1999)      "Hilarious, affectionate." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C-
     (2001)      "If only the rest of the movie had the wit and wisdom of Levy's performance." [movie review]      Film Blather

B+
     (2003)      "So many biopics tell us what we already know, or can guess from the trailer. American Splendor is no heartbreaker and no masterpiece, but it's different." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B
     (2008)      "Enormously entertaining storytelling but highly problematic documentary filmmaking." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B
     (2003)      "the good-natured sweetness with which the movie approaches its characters won me over despite the contrived, desperate construction of its gags." [movie review]      Film Blather

B+
     (1997)      "Amistad is the kind of movie that makes a tired topic seem fresh and entertaining again." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
D+
     (2004)      "Does not belong at a theater near you." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B
     (2002)      "An interesting animal: a sequel that's a successful rehash of its predecessor." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B
     (1998)      "A witty, upbeat comedy that is more concerned with making its audience laugh than any other of its cinematic virtues (or lack thereof)." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C-
     (1997)      "Basically reduces the Russian Revolution to a big kaboodle of cuteness, which may give kids the wrong impression of what actually happened." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C+
     (2004)      "Gags aren't allowed to develop; the characters are shuffled from location to location and from conflict to conflict without building momentum." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C
     (2003)      "Oh my, it's a bit of a mess, isn't it." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
D+
     (2004)      "Phantom of the Opera does not look good, it does not sound good, and it is an astonishing bore." [movie review]      Film Blather

D+
     (2009)      "May be a marginal improvement on its predecessor and source material, but at a brain-stabbing 140 minutes, it still reaches levels of tedium that are hard to conceptualize." [movie review]      AMCtv.com   
  
6/10
     (1999)      "It's big, expensive and soulless." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B-
     (2006)      "Where inspiration fails it, workmanlike competence gets it though." [movie review]      Film Blather
