D-
     (2006)      "Would seem sincere enough, but it's just a chain of ludicrous cliches of both the sports and religious variety." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2003)      "The parts are never integrated into a smoothly satisfying whole...as such it doesn't quite delight the cinematic palate." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2007)      "An old-fashioned poor little rich girl story gussied up with 1960s glitter...as vacuous as the milieu in which it's set." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2006)      "What distinguishes it is Hamer's amusingly deadpan approach to the material and Dillon's uncanny ability to embody it in his performance." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2004)      "Though it's clearly a hate letter to Bush, it's a cleverly composed one, and it will succeed in infuriating and satisfying audiences in approximately equal measure." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2006)      "So limp and mirthless that it would barely pass muster as a single-season network sitcom." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2001)      "A worthwhile, if imperfect, example of its author's self-examining, often lacerating approach." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2008)      "A fairy-tale that's fractured in ways that seem perversely calculated to alienate us even as it tries to draw us in...a cinematic pratfall." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2009)      "Riddled with cliches from beginning to end...[a] misguided exhumation of what was once a pretty lively piece." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2008)      "Though admirably modest and understated...it has a lot to be modest about." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2000)      "A veritable glacier of treacle, oozing inexorably on for two hours, gradually swallowing the actors, the screen and the audience as well." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D+
     (2005)      "Yet another of those dysfunctional-family-at-the-holidays movies that aim to elicit smiles of recognition but are more likely to make you wince in pain." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2005)      "Could have been dumb fun...unfortunately, the filmmakers succeed in getting only the dumb part right, omitting the fun entirely." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2007)      "Compared to the best superhero movies, the best that can be said of this flyweight effort is that it's unpretentious. But then it has a great deal to be unpretentious about." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A-
     (2009)      "A toon that puts nearly every non-Pixar one of recent years to shame. In this case, the titular adjective is well chosen." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A
     (2002)      "A small miracle of a film, a pitch-perfect homage to American films of the fifties that becomes genuinely moving in its own right...elegant and astonishingly eloquent." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2009)      "Slick but idiotic action flick...doesn't have any real power, and no intelligence whatever, under its glossy hood." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2001)      "Little more than an old B-movie wreck spruced up and sent speeding onto the screen." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2006)      "Though the movie is the most formulaic sort of testosterone-driven junk, it's served up expertly by director Justin Lin and his associates." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2006)      "Carries neither satirical bite nor emotional punch, an indictment delivered in an oddly mellow tone. Don't order a helping." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A-
     (2002)      "It brings a myth vividly to life on screen, remaining true to the original while doing so...an extraordinary experience." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2004)      "A competently-made treatment, though it does grow a bit repetitious over the long haul and doesn't end with the sort of rousing triumph the filmmaker seems to have hoped for." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2004)      "Though inoffensive, it's also flat and rather tedious...the movie isn't ready for the junkyard, but it isn't very fresh, either." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2001)      "In spite of the fact that it's almost impossible to take your eyes from 'Fat Girl,' the film ultimately proves disturbingly obvious." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2007)      "Arch, annoyingly complicated and insufferably smug, this will appeal only to those for whom Hartley and Posey can do no wrong." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2004)      "Cool, incisive, funny but also strangely melancholy...connoisseurs of cinematic elegance should find it a brilliant jewel." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2002)      "A vile, incoherent mess...a scummy ripoff of David Cronenberg's brilliant 'Videodrome.'" [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2006)      "Almost childishly naive but beautifully crafted and both viscerally exciting and oddly touching...a surprisingly rich and satisfying love letter by Li to the martial arts." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2006)      "By any objective standard, Feast isn't a good movie, but by those of its low-rent genre it's kind of fun." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2007)      "Half soap opera and half sitcom, but successful as neither." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2003)      "There may be better straight introductions to the accomplishments of this most poetic of cinematic artists, but for the already initiated this will serve as a welcome remembrance." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2002)      "Bad girl, worse movie...In the De Palma oeuvre, ranks toward the very bottom, somewhere between 'Body Double' and 'Raising Cain' on the one hand and 'Mission to Mars' on the other." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2004)      "The artists and audiences obviously had a great time at the Festival Express a quarter-century ago, and you'll probably have one at 'Festival Express' today." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2005)      "This is, at best, a distinctly low-grade 'Fever.' If not a foul ball, barely earns a single." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2007)      "Stretches its one-joke premise and artificial look beyond the breaking point." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2009)      "May not score a knockout, but it sure wins on points." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2003)      "Undemanding audiences may be willing to succumb to 'Temptations,' but the more discerning will easily be able to resist." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (1999)      "Certainly engaging to watch and often compelling to ruminate on." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2008)      "For there to be balance in the universe, good movies must alternate with bad ones. This is obviously one of the latter." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2001)      "Basically it's cable-ready, and it shouldn't be long in getting there." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2004)      "A chilly, silly bit of sci-fi nonsense played so turgidly that every one of its flaws is thrown into the sharpest sort of relief." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2000)      "After its promising liftoff, Final Destination loses altitude fairly quickly and ultimately doesn't get very far." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2009)      "Warner Bros. is demanding a surcharge of viewers for the privilege of seeing the movie in 3D. Actually the company should be paying them for sitting through it at all." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2003)      "The inventiveness of the death scenes isn't quite enough to compensate for the dullness of the rest, but it comes close." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2006)      "The gnawing familiarity of the formula has caught up with the series. Perhaps it's time that Morgan and Wong took the first word of the title seriously and moved on." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D+
     (2001)      "It's muddled, hackneyed and torpid, and the only emotional reaction it elicits from viewers is one of tedium." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2007)      "Imagine the largest number of cliches one could cram into a single sports movie, double it, and you'll have The Final Season...well-meaning but hopelessly corny." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2006)      "Though Diesel gives it the old college try, he just doesn't have the moxie to carry it off...a close call, but a near-miss." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2000)      "The picture's played with a disarming looseness that makes even its most predictable patches endurable." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2003)      "Children and adults alike should be enchanted...as quietly charming, cheekily amusing a family feature as you're likely to encounter this summer." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion
