C-
     (2006)      "A bummer clearly." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2005)      "An arid and ultimately pointless exercise in style." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2001)      "A good deal of A.I. is striking and memorable, but it's a distinctly uneven picture whose reach exceeds its grasp." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2002)      "'Abandon all hope, ye who enter here'...you should definitely let Dante's gloomy words be your guide." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2007)      "Abandon all hope of entertainment, ye who enter here...dreary as well as dull." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2002)      "So muddled, repetitive and ragged that it says far less about the horrifying historical reality than about the filmmaker's characteristic style." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2002)      "A sly audience-pleaser...essentially a formula picture, but one that exhibits sufficiently eccentric touches to make it, some missteps aside, a pleasure to watch." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A
     (2002)      "Showcases what's easily one of the year's best performances, and it's thoroughly delightful besides...one of the jewels of recent American film." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D+
     (2006)      "Wants to be a new Animal House, but it's more like a rerun of PCU." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2007)      "The Beatles survived Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees, so they'll survive Julie Taymor, too." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2009)      "Sounds like the stuff of a Hallmark Hall of Fame telefilm, but happily Mayer's sensitivity and the skill of Dancy and Byrne raise it to another level." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2008)      "Grapples with important themes and is expertly made, but is simply too odd and off-putting to be anything more than an almost grotesque curiosity." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2002)      "An astonishingly tasteless combination of gross sentimentality and simple grossness." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2002)      "A thin, smug conceit, and one that gets more tired and exasperating as it goes along...clever, but in a juvenile, self-indulgent fashion." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2009)      "Those who make an effort to respond to its challenges will find it an absorbing and haunting experience." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (1999)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2009)      "Yet another quirky coming-of-age tale, it's amiable enough but rather lackadaisical, and generates neither the laughs nor the insight needed to set it apart from the pack." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2002)      "Like Disney's Pluto, this one is a dog. Cave canem." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2000)      "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle doesn't so much celebrate the old series on which it's based as cause you to wonder why you look back on it with affection in the first place." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2005)      "Nothing to celebrate: it's a garish, cluttered piece of plasticine whimsy that's as derivative as it is leaden." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2005)      "Flashy but incredibly dull...a real catastrophe, the cinematic equivalent of a tsunami." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2000)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2001)      "Watching it is rather like strolling through an overstuffed museum exhibit in the company of a dry-as-dust, long-winded guide constantly chattering into your ear." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2004)      "The plot too frequently gets in the way of indulging in the view. If the picture had been kept a travelogue, it might have been better for all concerned." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2007)      "In less accomplished hands might have been dismissed as mawkish and contrived, but...comes across as surprisingly honest and affecting." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2003)      "A punch-drunk combination of pugilistic hokum and feminist empowerment fantasy." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2004)      "This uninspired, maladroit entry should insure that 'Cody' won't be bankable for long, and that his days as a cinematic 'Agent' are numbered." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2004)      "Once again, Hollywood's big-budget blockbusters are overshadowed by a small but infinitely more moving piece of expert non-fiction filmmaking." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2002)      "'AKA' is DOA...boring, and boring in an irritatingly complicated way." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2006)      "Nice but more than a little formulaic...like a family telefilm that's migrated somewhat uncomfortably to theatres." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2004)      "A big, sprawling movie with remarkably little grandeur; what's worse, it's emotionally hollow...with cardboard characterizations and wooden dialogue." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2003)      "While the leads imagine themselves in love, you have to imagine you're being entertained by them." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D+
     (2004)      "Pretty much a mess, an alternately turgid and florid movie that feels like a drugged-out version of a Cecil B. DeMille epic." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2008)      "One of those pure films that's devoid of excess and overstatement...simple but searing." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2004)      "If it's been reduced to cinematic pablum, it's still fairly palatable due to its engaging cast and a glossy production." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2001)      "A curiously unsatisfying piece which reveals far less about its subject than you want to know...overly schematic, more hagiography than history." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2002)      "Sharp psychological thriller...about mothers and children." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (1998)      "Slow, somber and emotionally opaque." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A-
     (1979)      "Still one scary mother." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2009)      "It doesn't want to be camp, but it inevitably becomes so, because the very effort to replicate its models is so knowing that it comes across as insufferably arch." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2004)      "In this contest it's boredom and stupidity that are victorious...though loud and brutally paced and edited, far more silly than scary." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A-
     (2003)      "Still one scary mother." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2009)      "Isn't all that bad...but it lacks magic, and except as a harmless diversion for the youngsters on a rainy afternoon, you can safely hold off until it shows up on DVD." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2005)      "Though only 48 minutes long and the 3-D effects are sometimes stunning, it has substantial passages that are curiously dull...can't hold a candle to Cameron's other 'Aliens.'" [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2007)      "Not good, mind you, but probably about as efficient an example of an unnecessary sequel as was possible under the circumstances." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2009)      "One might be tempted to call it perfectly dreadful if it didn't seem inappropriate to utter the word 'perfect' anywhere within miles of it." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2002)      "Cinematic junk food...but it's fairly tasty nonetheless--at least by the admittedly undemanding standards of this hackneyed genre." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2001)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2002)      "In comparison to his earlier films it seems a disappointingly thin slice of lower-class London life; despite the title...amounts to surprisingly little." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D+
     (2001)      "Little more than ninety minutes of bitchy dialogue leading up to a phonily dramatic outburst which purports to tie everything up in laughter and tears." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion
