B+
     (2007)      "A lively, ebullient crowd-pleaser that replaces satiric spark with sitcom slickness, but is still good, clean fun." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2006)      "A good film with a great performance." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2002)      "Could as easily have been called 'Under Siege 3: In Alcatraz'...a cinematic corpse that never springs to life." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2007)      "Just the latest misguided attempt to recycle an old horror classic, replacing suspense and a sense of mystery with splatter movie cliche and heavy-handed backstory." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2009)      "Putrid...fails to be remotely frightening and just settles for being utterly repulsive instead." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D+
     (2002)      "By the miserable standards to which the slasher genre has sunk,...actually pretty good. Of course, by more objective measurements it's still quite bad." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2000)      "What dooms this Hamlet to mediocrity is the quality of the acting, especially in the leads, and the general slowness and turgidity of the proceedings." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2008)      "The kind of thing that probably read a lot funnier than it plays." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2008)      "A super-dud." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2000)      "Incredibly irritating...shrill, sappy and sadly sitcomish." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2003)      "The story makes little sense, while offering few surprises and even fewer scares...it might be a cinematic act of faith for some, but simply as a movie it's a travesty." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2009)      "Coarse but only intermittently amusing example of boys' night out...Among guy flicks this one comes in around the middle, neither unmentionably terrible nor particularly memorable." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2009)      "No better than cable-quality, and devoted fans really deserve something beyond assembly-line stuff when their TV idols are brought to the big screen." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2001)      "Based on an inferior source and, as an adaptation, more dutiful than inspired, it winds up being neither cinematic feast nor famine." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2007)      "Hard to stomach...this handsomely appointed but turgid, dramatically inert movie simply bites off more than it can successfully chew." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2008)      "A comeback for the director, but not quite enough of one...an almost equal combination of genuine creepiness and absolute foolishness." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2005)      "A sour, grating comedy-drama about fidelity and infidelity among the Parisian bourgeoisie...certainly won't send you home with a smile on your face." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2007)      "Compared to the best movies of its kind (Shrek), Happily N'Ever After is insipid. Compared to mediocre ones (Hoodwinked!), it's not very good, either." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2001)      "While...it has a certain gangly charm, it's just too frail and wispy to go the distance." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2005)      "The surface smoothness can't make up for the deeper flaws...fails signally in establishing any solid emotional connection with most of the people it portrays." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2006)      "Visually stunning...but it's a curious sort of family film that's part Las Vegas extravaganza and part pro-environmental tract, unlikely to enchant children." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2002)      "Transcends the technical limitations and emerges as an oddly funny and ultimately quite affecting film...a heartfelt fable." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2008)      "A wonderfully life-affirming tale of a woman who always looks on the bright side of things...[which avoids] either comic caricature or teary treacle." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2005)      "Isn't merely difficult to swallow, but none too tasty going down." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (1964)      "It now strikes one as very much a product of its time, but it still has many pleasures." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2003)      "Has its moments...but it never manages to be as clever--or as amusing--as Roberts apparently thinks it is." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2001)      "Despite its title, it's too soft and squishy for comfort, and while it can't be counted a strike-out on the cinematic scoreboard, it's at best a weak single." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2008)      "Non-potheads, even those who liked the White Castle original...may have trouble with this dumb, rather nauseating follow-up." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2004)      "Though too scattershot and uneven to be recommended without reservation, it has a loose, goofball charm that makes it a pleasant surprise and may earn it cult status." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2002)      "Dreary and desiccated...it shunts the larger catastrophe to the side and instead becomes a sudsy marital melodrama. " [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2002)      "More dutiful than enchanting...terribly episodic and lacking the spark of imagination that might have made it an exhilarating treat." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2005)      "While [it] doesn't come close to matching the magic of its predecessor...it's slick and exciting enough to satisfy the fans of the series." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2009)      "Such an assured, professional piece of work--and a pre-sold one at that--that it will largely disarm criticism, despite its flaws." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2007)      "After the exceptional quality of the last two installments,...a letdown. This chapter of the story feels like it's just biding time." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2004)      "A visually ravishing, narratively crisp treatment that represents a major advance on the earlier installments...not just a good Harry Potter movie; it's a good movie, period." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2001)      "It does the obvious well enough, but ironically--considering the subject--it lacks the touch of magic....a picture that, while well crafted, is ultimately uninspired." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2006)      "Takes off fast and rarely pauses along the way, but doesn't manage to take you anywhere worth going." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2002)      "Undoubtedly well-intentioned, but it attempts to deliver too many messages at once, and does so with far too heavy a hand." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2008)      "More than just a not-so-instant replay...even for viewers who regularly skip the Super Bowl it will be something to cheer." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2002)      "Might have been played as a glum cautionary tale, but in Toback's hands it becomes a lark--flashy, florid and blissfully over-the-top." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D+
     (2003)      "A busy, over-produced special effects extravaganza that tries to be both funny and mildly scary but manages to be neither." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2009)      "So old-fashioned in its effects that it seems positively quaint; it resembles nothing so much as one of those 'scary' primetime telefilms that ABC specialized in during the 1970s." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2008)      "Even for the holiday, this stinker is a maladroit trick rather than any kind of Halloween treat." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D+
     (2004)      "The 1987 original was no prize, but it dances circles around this cinematic misstep." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2006)      "Likely to leave you scratching your head--not merely because the plot's so hard to follow but because you'll be wondering why anybody thought it was worth making." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2003)      "May work better as a cinematic puzzle than as a pure thriller, but it still makes for an enjoyable ride." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2009)      "A tediously uninvolving ensemble mating-go-round that shuffles together a group of boring Baltimore characters in what's supposed to be--but isn't--an effervescent romantic roundelay." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2004)      "An almost ludicrously old-fashioned epic that presents a string of melodramatic cliches with a flamboyant earnestness that accentuates...their absurdity." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2003)      "Despite that big grin Rock is famous for flashing, 'Head of State' is utterly toothless." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2001)      "It's hard to imagine anyone doing cartwheels over this clumsy trifle." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion
