C-
     (2005)      "It wallows in repellant imagery rather than enlightening us intellectually in any serious way, and it offers no real psychological insight into the characters." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2004)      "While it's hardly a great movie, thanks to Bale's remarkable performance it's a genuinely creepy and engrossing one." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2005)      "Too scattershot an affair, offering surprisingly little depth in its coverage of either students or teachers." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2001)      "A big, plush, overripe tale of misguided passion, a richly illustrated but grossly simplified and romanticized history lesson that plays like a period soap opera." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2008)      "Neither clever nor engaging enough to work as a celebration of either larcenous cunning or womanly feistiness." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2005)      "A destination you should add to your summer moviegoing itinerary...makes for an enjoyable trip." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2008)      "Looks marvelous--the animation really is superb--but it's not even up to the standard of the initial installment in any other significant respect." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2001)      "A ragged, ramshackle mob comedy, but...consistently amusing and, at times, quite hilarious." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2008)      "In his TV incarnation Patrick Dempsey may be called McDreamy, but his new romantic comedy is more like a nightmare." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2004)      "While a harmless enough diversion, proves to be a relatively feeble--and rather precious--little comedy-drama about aging and parenthood." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2002)      "An oddity, to be sure, but one that you might wind up remembering with a degree of affection rather than revulsion." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2003)      "A story that, in its general outline, follows a fairly predictable path, but conveys enough specificity of time and place to give it greater punch than you might expect." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2002)      "As flimsy and predictable as they come, but still a reasonably tolerable bit of formulaic fluff." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2001)      "A crock--well-intentioned and slickly made, to be sure, but a crock nonetheless...unbelievably sappy." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (1965)      "This restored version demonstrates is that while it remains an uneven work, it has flashes of brilliance as well as a general air of competence, even elegance in storytelling." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2000)      "Beautiful to look at, but it's also at once overly familiar and emotionally confused." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2003)      "No more than a benign time-waster, not consistently funny enough to recommend, but the fact that it isn't the horror its trailers suggested is itself a relief." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2003)      "Or 'My Not-So-Big-and-Fat Gay Italian Son'...one dance you might just want to sit out." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2008)      "Yuck!...the very model of the modern musical comedy--there's absolutely nothing original in it...[and] it looks awful." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2005)      "One dull and anonymous movie...less like 'Midnight Run' or '48 Hrs.' than 'Pure Luck.'" [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2003)      "Vin Diesel tries to stretch in 'A Man Apart,' and it's not a pretty sight." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2002)      "Half of it is composed of snappy patter and pseudo-sophisticated cultural observations, while the remainder...would be more at home on a daytime television serial." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2007)      "Too slight and formulaic to amount to much." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2005)      "Not so much terrible as mediocre, a frail and obvious bit of fluff--sort of like a feature-length version of a one-season network sitcom." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (1996)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2006)      "A hybrid of so many parts that it would be unwieldy even if it were executed very well. But as it happens, it isn't." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2004)      "Cruelly underwritten but wildly overproduced, this latest Hollywood example of the vigilante vengeance movie is...at once sensorily fatiguing and intellectually dispiriting." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2003)      "An elegant, amusing odd-couple divertissement...made not only tolerable but pleasurable by Leconte's austerely patrician style, Rochefort's roguish charm and Hallyday's deadpan authority." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2008)      "Builds a remarkable degree of suspense...and along the way it manages a good deal of humor and charm as well." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2005)      "The script's shifts of tone are never smoothly melded, and the lethargic pacing drags the story out mercilessly." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2001)      "A lovely, very funny and strangely moving film, one that takes its rightful place in the ever-more-amazing corpus of the brothers' work." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2003)      "A deadpan delight...a graceful, quietly humorous tribute to the sort of fringe-dwellers rarely seen in mainstream movies, let alone treated with such affection and respect." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2009)      "Thanks to the stars' adept way with Belber's script, this little movie manages to win you over." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2004)      "For those of us with fond memories of Frankenheimer's classic, this Candidate can only be a distant also-ran." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2006)      "Another spare, tiresome, pretentious yet simple-minded anti-American diatribe from Danish Dogma-tist Lars von Trier...stale, arid polemic." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2003)      "Really just a bleaker variant of 'The Breakfast Club.'" [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2002)      "A flimsy, overcomplicated little comedy that--despite the title--is hardly a gift to audiences, divine or otherwise." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (1999)      "Enough of Austen's witty depiction of British society is preserved to keep the viewer pleasantly occupied." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2007)      "Like Burtynsky's pictures, captures images that are at once awesome, humbling, and rather terrifying." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (1999)      "Carries surprising dramatic power; and the acting is good enough to carry it over even the admitted rough patches in the final reels." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2005)      "With this picture and 'Magadascar,' the penguins are enjoying a banner cinematic summer...most viewers will find it enthralling." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2003)      "So clueless about its subject that it's like being force-fed a 10-CD retrospective of Vanilla Ice's greatest hits...will send viewers fleeing up the aisles--faster than Seabiscuit." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2007)      "A dreary, indeed irritating portrait of people who never seem authentic and certainly aren't emotionally engaging." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A-
     (2004)      "What's striking about 'Maria Full of Grace' is the way it manages to remain beautifully direct while generating enormous emotional impact." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2006)      "Rather like its heroine--extremely pretty to look at but rather simple-minded." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2006)      "The sort of cloying, sentimental heart-tugger that would be more at home on network television than the big screen." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2006)      "Low-budget, logic-free action shlock...explosion-laced, fisticuff-heavy, utterly brainless stuff." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2008)      "An obnoxiously cute and mawkish man-and-his-mutt story...[with] one of the longest animal death watches in cinematic history." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2008)      "Married life has its ups and downs, and so does this movie. Unfortunately, more of the latter than the former." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2007)      "Hobbled by its ham-fisted effort to strum our heartstrings." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion
