B-
     (2004)      "It has a good deal of energy and a splashy visual style, but its mixture of dramatic recreation, interviews and social commentary succeeds only sporadically." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2009)      "Merely lets the facts of forty years ago speak for themselves, and one can't deny that its dramatization of them has enormous energy and urgency." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2006)      "Like its scriptural model, an impressive structure, but one that doesn't reach the intended emotional heights." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2001)      "Intermittently strong, often darkly humorous but ultimately uneven." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2008)      "So bad it will make you nostalgic for The Pacifier." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C

D-
     (2003)      "'Bad Boys II,' which is nothing more than tired formula, pure and simple, feels longer than 'Pearl Harbor.' And it's got a lot more explosions and violence than that World War II picture, too." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D+
     (2002)      "Everything in it seems recycled from earlier movies....Any movie in which a bomb plays so prominent part has no business being such a dud." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A-
     (2004)      "A revelation, combining the colorful flash of the writer-director's previous work with a richer, deeper emotional vein than ever before." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2009)      "Outrageously enjoyable...turns the genre conventions on their head to often uproarious effect." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2005)      "Not so much a terrible movie as an unnecessary one...a sense of redundancy plagues the movie." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D+
     (2003)      "A one-joke conceit that can't sustain itself over feature length, a good idea drowned in a sea of crudity and ineptitude. You'll leave it feeling more hung over than Willie." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2008)      "Very uneven super-low-budget exercise...the sort of thing that's usually referred to as 'showing promise.'" [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2000)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2005)      "A dreary dirge of a movie that's less about real human beings than characters who are little more than literary contrivances, though well acted ones." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2005)      "Not only consistently engrossing but genuinely engaging, if technically conventional....Bravo!" [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2002)      "A shambles of a movie--visually unattractive, unbearably loud and utterly silly...its hilarity is completely unintentional." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2007)      "This awful slapstick martial-arts tournament send-up is all bad ideas and worse execution." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2005)      "Skillfully done...but the broader historical context may make one just a tad queasy reveling in its visual and emotional excesses." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D+
     (2000)      "The fault lies with Lee, of course: he remains an exceptionally gifted filmmaker, but his writing and helming here demonstrate no penchant for satire." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A-
     (2007)      "Charming and touching...gentle and soft-spoken, but it speaks volumes about the possibility of reconciliation in one of the most politically volatile regions of the world." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2001)      "A somewhat predictable but quite enjoyable lark, a traditional buddy-heist movie that offers genuine humor instead of the gross-out stuff we usually see nowadays." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2009)      "Isn't going to win any awards, but it's a distinct step up from most striving-against-the-odds high school movies." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2004)      "This Thai 'Alamo' story is superior to any of the Hollywood versions of the Texas battle and an exciting, effective film in its own right." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2002)      "A totally synthetic, artificial movie...like a two-hour sitcom in desperate need of a laughtrack." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2008)      "All it proves is that on their home turf the Pangs can make an international hit-man tale every bit as trashy and dull as the ones made in Hollywood or Europe." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2001)      "A succession of set-pieces, each of them individually impressive but adding up to very little because there's nothing between them to move us." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2002)      "An implausible, manipulative but moderately enjoyable crowd-pleaser." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2008)      "Just isn't clever or surprising enough: it's complicated but conventional, strikes no sparks...[and] fails to juggle its myriad tones successfully." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2003)      "Visually 'The Barbarian Invasions' has a nice surface, but the more one listens to it the more ephemeral and inconsequential it becomes." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2002)      "More vaudeville show than well-constructed narrative, but on those terms it's inoffensive and actually rather sweet." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2004)      "Earns a visit, if only by a hair...if the business isn't quite so brisk this time around, there's an amiable familiarity that warrants your continued patronage." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion

C-
     (2006)      "Gary Larson did more with this idea in a single Far Side panel than Steve Oedekerk and his army of animators can muster over eighty minutes in this tepid computer-generated kidflick." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2002)      "As satisfyingly odd and intriguing a tale as it was a century and a half ago...has a delightfully dour, deadpan tone and stylistic consistency." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2003)      "Pretty much DOA...a thoroughly artificial contraption in which the seams show and the revelations lack the sense of inevitability that would have made them satisfying." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2006)      "There's simple trash and enjoyable trash; this movie wants to be the latter, but alas it falls into the first category." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (1999)      "Clearly well-intentioned but wildly overplotted and, curiously enough, emotionally underdeveloped." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2005)      "Until the overblown, chaotic finale obligatory in Hollywood action movies nowadays, it's an abundantly moody, amply exciting exercise in cinematic resuscitation." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2009)      "A pretty pallid, pedestrian affair, a very mild outer-space adventure with an ecological message that, in the age of Pixar, is unlikely to keep kids, or their parents, rooted to their seats." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A-
     (1966)      "Staged with almost newsreel precision but presented with the punch of a great political thriller..despite being half a century old, still has a powerful and pertinent message." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2003)      "Though slight and rather frail, it's still modestly entertaining...and LaBeouf is well worth watching throughout." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2000)      "And you thought Dune was bad." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2005)      "Perhaps it's only just that a movie about a loser should be a loser itself." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2005)      "Ultra-smooth ex-gangster Chili Palmer returns to the screen after a decade's absence and the audience gets whacked...an unmitigated disaster." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2008)      "The level of foolishness here is simply too high, and the execution so slapdash that the result doesn't seem so much a parody of amateurishness as an example of it." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2000)      "Very handsome to look at...but it's equally apparent that as a narrative the film is extremely silly and disjointed." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2004)      "A pleasurable amble down a well-worn cinematic street." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2005)      "Succeeds as both a homage to its quirky model and as an engrossing film in its own right." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion
