C
     (2002)      "Lumbers along as turgidly as the injured boat itself...Bigelow never manages to infuse the narrative with the sense of urgency it needs." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2001)      "The slender tale has been loaded down with so much Hollywood contrivance and phony piety that it collapses under the weight." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D+
     (2004)      "The images are opulent but the story's an incoherent bore." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2001)      "While one can easily respect the noble intentions behind it, one has to admit that purely as a work of cinema, it doesn't equal the best of recent Iranian films." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2003)      "A weird combination of Jerry Bruckheimer action flick and cartoonish kiddie movie...far too flimsy and formulaic a farce to linger in anybody's memory very long." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2001)      "Winning fluff, easy to take and easy to like--the rare example of its genre that's genuinely enjoyable." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2006)      "There are enjoyable nuggets throughout Mum, but they're sporadic, and in the end the movie is no keeper." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2000)      "Well-meaning and decently put together, and it has occasional moments of charm...[but] more than a trifle stale." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2006)      "Pretty much insufferable...bar mitzvah or not, it's still awfully juvenile." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2006)      "A fascinating oddity, marked by amazing locales and a narrative that continually subverts your expectations...the effect is hypnotic." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2007)      "Jamie Kennedy may be becoming the new Pauly Shore...ineptitude marks every aspect of the writing and execution." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D+
     (1995)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D+
     (2005)      "A by-the-numbers mixture of slapstick and sentiment that not only invites the comic to indulge his worst instincts but totally depends on them." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2002)      "An almost perfect embodiment of the spirit of its subject: it's slick, self-serving and amusing but ultimately rather shallow, more apologia than analysis." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2000)      "A sad indulgence." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2003)      "It may be nothing but style without substance--but what style! And it certainly beats the vast majority of pictures, which offer neither." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2004)      "Overall it may prove a letdown for those expecting the energy and deft takeoff-homage character of the previous film. Still, it has just enough going for it to get by." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2006)      "Isn't a particularly good film, but it is a perversely fascinating one." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2004)      "An orgy of anachronism in a sea of bad action-movie cliches...a dank, dreary pseudo-adventure flick without much energy and with precious little grandeur." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2005)      "Often wondrous to behold and enormously exciting (and, amazingly, even occasionally moving), but also way too long and at times exhaustingly elaborate." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2007)      "However much Douglas might have savored making it, this King deserves no royal welcome." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A-
     (2007)      "Like some of the players it showcases, earns a nearly perfect score...funny, poignant, surprising and satisfying from beginning to end." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2005)      "Despite a tendency to ramble and some uncomfortable shifts of tone, overall the picture generates a quiet humor and warmth that are quite appealing." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2007)      "Quickly degenerates from a serious topical tale about twenty-first century terrorism into a jingoistic gung-ho shoot-'em-up." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2001)      "Innocuous and sporadically diverting, but also formulaic and undistinguished." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2005)      "Both narratively rushed and lethargically paced, this would-be crusading epic aims to be lion-hearted but instead comes off lily-livered." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2006)      "A prefabricated crowd-pleaser with a distinctly by-the-numbers feel, distinguished only by Ejiofor's canny transvestite turn." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2004)      "A smooth, elegant docudrama...well-groomed, handsomely mounted and adroitly laid out,...but ultimately--like its subject--a trifle schoolmasterish." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2005)      "All affectation and no affect...by the end the smug artificiality of it all has become well-nigh intolerable." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2001)      "An ephemeral exhibition of mindless action that you'll probably have forgotten even before the final credits have ceased to roll." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2002)      "Not perfect, but it stands head and shoulders above the cookie-cutter romantic comedies that Hollywood produces with such depressing regularity." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2008)      "At a time when kidflicks have turned raucous and crude, its inoffensive sweetness makes it a positively endearing throwback." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2004)      "Drollness and dry wit characterize this charming Scandinavian comedy...a wryly affectionate story that will touch the heart of almost every viewer." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2007)      "The screen throws the story's weaknesses into sharper relief than the printed page did, and despite the obvious dedication and craftsmanship, the film finishes as a near-miss." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2003)      "Just one more of those romantic roundelays that depend too heavily on hopeless coincidence and contrivance to reach a happy ending." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2001)      "Aimed not at grownups, but at persons of adolescent tastes, whatever their physical age." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2002)      "A pint-sized 'Goodfellas' designed to appeal to the younger set, it's not a very good movie in any objective sense, but it does mostly hold one's interest." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2007)      "Another helping of the combination of romantic sweetness and slob comedy that made The 40-Year-Old Virgin such a smash...the raunchiness too often overwhelms the charm." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2009)      "So silly that it not only strains credulity--it shatters it and then stomps it into infinitesimal pieces." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D

C+
     (2005)      "As an exercise in craftsmanship it's certainly a success, but in the end it offers lots of sound and fury but not a great deal else." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2008)      "Another misfit-makes-good movie with nifty visuals but a sodden script." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2002)      "A bad idea poorly executed." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion
