C+
     (2009)      "The definition of cinematic empty calories. It's like stuffing your face with cotton candy in lieu of dinner." [movie review]      AMCtv.com   
  
B
     (1999)      "An affectionate, riotously funny parody that freely takes jabs at various elements of its subject but never seems mean-spirited or malintentioned." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B+
     (2004)      "A curious thing: a reality game show that plays us." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B
     (2002)      "One of the darkest visions of humanity I have ever seen." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C
     (2004)      "A simplistic and insincere character piece with elements of smug comedy." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
D+
     (2006)      "The old convention says that a critic should judge a film in relation to what it sets out to achieve. But there must be a point where a film sets out to achieve so little that the guideline ceases to be useful." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B
     (1997)      "A well-directed, visually stunning morally complex tale. There is no gene for a good movie." [movie review]      Film Blather

B
     (2003)      "A rich, challenging mood piece that may not cohere thematically but takes us on a compelling, unique journey." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C
     (2001)      "The movie is short, watchable, and altogether serviceable. But that's not enough." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B+
     (1999)      "I can scarcely think of ways to improve this engrossing, original, near-brilliant production." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
D+
     (2002)      "If it doesn't reach the level of awfulness embodied by 13 Ghosts, it gets pretty close." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B-
     (2008)      "Some of the moving parts squeak, especially toward the end. But it's still largely a pleasure." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
A
     (2001)      "The better, unpretentious version of The Catcher in the Rye that Salinger never wrote." [movie review]      Film Blather

C+
     (2003)      "The suspense is not so much whether they will have sex and/or fall in love, but how the script will get around the lesbian angle to get to it." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B
     (2004)      "It says a lot that while I spent the entire running time staring at Elisha Cuthbert, I still noticed an amazing performance by Emile Hirsch." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B
     (2003)      "We talk pejoratively of films being soporific, but this one sort of lulls you into a restful complacency." [movie review]      Film Blather

A-
     (2000)      "This is a big, all-stops-out blockbuster and it delivers." [movie review]      Film Blather

C-
     (2006)      "This film fails not because it is conventional, but because it is lazy and dumb -- unworthy of its subject matter." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
3/4
     (1999)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B
     (2007)      "The importance of the material and Quinn's approach to it allow God Grew Tired of Us to transcend its pedestrian cinematic virtues." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C
     (2003)      "I would just like to mention something to director Ronald F. Maxwell, parenthetically and completely as an aside: the South lost." [movie review]      Film Blather

D+
     (2004)      "Opens promisingly and spins its wheels for a while before descending into complete, laughable incoherence." [movie review]      Film Blather

C
     (2007)      "The problem is not that The Golden Compass has been stripped of its rabble-rousing anti-Christian content, though it surely has been. The problem is that the rest of it has been sterilized too." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C
     (2000)      "Maybe more Angelina Jolie would have helped." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C+
     (2003)      "The high concept almost guarantees complete awfulness. In the face of such overwhelming odds most films would give up, but Good Boy! goes down fighting." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C+
     (2002)      "I liked individual moments in The Good Girl, but it takes an illogical approach to its storyline." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B-
     (2005)      "George Clooney's sophomore directorial effort comes off as authentic but awfully thin and uneventful." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B-
     (2003)      "The Good Thief is spry, quirky, morose, entertaining, tedious, slow, loose and quotable. In a word: it's uneven." [movie review]      Film Blather   
   --

B-
     (2005)      "It's brief, frivolous, and extremely entertaining even as some of it seems forced, and the film lacks the elegance of Wilde's wordplay." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B
     (2009)      "Though Kim's western pastiche may be insubstantial, it's anything but a drag. It's masterfully directed, legitimately funny, and legitimately fun, thoroughly enjoyable even at an excessive 129 minutes." [movie review]      Cinematical   
  
C-
     (2000)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C
     (2003)      "Great acting, stylish cinematography, nifty scares; too bad the story makes absolutely no sense, leaving an unprecedented amount of "but wait, how did.." questions unanswered." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
F
     (2006)      "There is no movie. There is only the fact that Adam Sandler has cronies, and Adam Sandler gets what he wants." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C+
     (2007)      "In cheerfully embracing the sitcom's limitations, Kramer resigns her film to a sort of amiable mediocrity." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B-
     (2007)      "It goes down easy, has some great scenes, and knows how to tug on the heartstrings. But unlike its characters, it settles for less." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C
     (2005)      "As the movie shuffles along the plotlines, the momentum drains to zero." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
A-
     (2002)      "If this story must be told and retold -- and indeed it must -- then The Grey Zone is to be lauded for finding a new and ingenious angle." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C+
     (2003)      "Doesn't toy with the concept nearly enough for my tastes, content to be a vaguely quirky dark comedy." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C-
     (2003)      "Will mostly be remembered as the wasted first starring role in the hopefully lengthy career of the very, very talented Adam Brody." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
B
     (2005)      "Notable for its depiction of nature as alien and unforgiving, frightening in its cold majesty." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C
     (2006)      "Begins as the sort of glossy, well-made Hollywood movie I usually like, and by the end reaches supreme heights of silliness." [movie review]      Film Blather   
  
C+
     (2005)      "It's funny enough, and surprisingly well-written in individual scenes, but why, in the end, does it strive for so little?" [movie review]      Film Blather
