C-
     (2006)      "It certainly succeeds in being different, but peculiar doesn't necessarily mean enjoyable." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2007)      "Sprawling but affecting family drama, marked by sensitive direction and fine performances." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2007)      "Uncomfortably straddles the line between revival and send-up...[Nancy Drew] probably should have been kept in mothballs." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2007)      "A sour, stilted, graceless misfire that can't make its mind whether to be an edgy satire of class division or a feel-good feature-length sitcom." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2006)      "A delightful surprise, visually witty and almost unfailingly charming, perhaps the best film of its kind since 'Babe.' This should become a family perennial." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D+
     (2004)      "Supremely condescending...If you need to look down on others to feel better about yourself, 'Napoleon Dynamite' is the movie for you." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2002)      "Despite its visual virtuosity, 'Naqoyqatsi' is banal in its message and the choice of material to convey it." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2002)      "An empty exercise, a florid but ultimately vapid crime melodrama with lots of surface flash but little emotional resonance." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2004)      "Surprisingly earnest and sedate...the sort of perfunctorily informative instructional film that might be the first leg on a guided tour of a NASCAR museum." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2004)      "Such a stinker that each ticket should come with a can of Glade." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2002)      "Another week, another gross-out college comedy--ugh." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2004)      "One scavenger hunt that's definitely not worth playing...it has more climaxes than a porno movie." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2007)      "Monumentally silly...But viewers looking for the dumbest sort of escapism are likely to be satisfied." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2006)      "It avoids Hallmark greeting-card slickness and Cecil B. DeMille razzmatazz, but replaces them with a plodding earnestness that leaves it largely inoffensive but rather dull." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2004)      "Elegantly mounted and realized, to be sure, but basically a fairly conventional portrait of your typical noble rebel...it might have been much more." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2004)      "An egomaniacal misfire...a foolproof defense against both CD and VHS/DVD piracy." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A
     (2006)      "This joins the ranks of really special concert films. Whether you're a fan of Neil Young or not, don't miss 'Heart of Gold.'" [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2002)      "Cutesy and artificial...Just a predictable take on the 'Affair to Remember' formula with a thick overlay of heavy-handed quirkiness." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2008)      "Bruising but brainless teen action-melodrama...like a match that delivers a few good punches but drags on to a dull and predictable end." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2004)      "So outlandishly bad that it actually incites a viewer's morbid curiosity: you watch it wondering how much worse it can get." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2002)      "A cautionary after-school special gone completely berserk, an anti-drug movie so loopy that it seems to be on speed itself." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2002)      "An incoherent jumble of tastelessness, stupidity, poor cinematic takeoffs and cloying sweetness, all delivered with numbing clumsiness." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2009)      "Frozen Capracorn [that] will leave you cold...Minnesotans might legitimately want to sue for defamation." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2005)      "Pretty much a mess--a woozy, sometimes inspired but mostly infuriating piece far more interested in conveying mood than information." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2005)      "You needn't be a fan of rock and roll to be both amused and moved by this documentary...a winningly bittersweet little film." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2004)      "If it actually lived up to its title and lasted a mere New York minute, it might be tolerable. Unfortunately, it drags on for ninety-three ordinary ones, and it's not." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2009)      "This love letter to the Big Apple has more than its share of worms." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2007)      "An extremely simple-minded present-day chase movie...blown to smithereens by plot holes the size of the majestic mountain canyons where some of the action is set." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2000)      "This astonishingly bad tearjerker, a Fannie Hurst weepie with a gay twist, is as phony as a three-dollar bill and just about as entertaining." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2009)      "Winds up seeming less pleasurably anarchic than simply messy and crude." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2002)      "May be Dickens Lite, but taken on its own slick, genteel terms it's a surprisingly winning confection...a film of wit and style." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2008)      "Nick and Norah's playlist may be infinite, but the enjoyment they provide is definitely limited." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2001)      "The rare coming-of-age film that avoids cliches, refuses to engage in stereotypes, and wins over both your intellect and your heart." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2004)      "Intricate but curiously drab...for all the cigarettes that are smoked and talked about in the movie, it's resolutely non-addictive." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2006)      "A film suffering from an acute case of Jumanjiitis...the one exhibit that would be most appropriate for this Museum would be a white elephant." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2009)      "A big, bloated bore, so overstuffed with effects and racket that it's simply exhausting...the kind of empty extravaganza that gives family films a bad name." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2006)      "A potentially engrossing tale ineptly told." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2005)      "Gets uglier and messier as it sprints on, the incessant orgy of fighting, blood-letting and dankly flashy camerawork...leading to a curious mixture of malaise and disgust." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A-
     (1993)      "Light, amusingly macabre, droll, looking and sounding freshly minted...a marvelous holiday treat with luscious tricks up its sleeve." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2008)      "Redolent of the schmaltziest weepies of a half-century or more ago...strong evidence for the proposition that Nicholas Sparks must have been Fannie Hurst in an earlier life." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2002)      "Well-nigh unendurable...though the picture strains to become cinematic poetry, it remains depressingly prosaic and dull." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2008)      "A children's movie obviously straining to be magical that falls far short of the goal." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2005)      "Like a series of acting exercises...by the close it comes to seem a bit thin, promising more than it actually delivers." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2002)      "A stingless 'Sting'...the viewer may feel that, whatever has happened to the characters, he's the one who's actually been ripped off." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2009)      "No prize, [but] at least it barrels ahead without trying to humanize its comic-book characters or deliver a ludicrous V for Vendetta-style political message." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (1999)      "For the most part the picture meshes spookiness and stylish humor to excellent effect." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A
     (2007)      "Bleak but beautiful, and with characteristic Coen shafts of gallows humor,...about as perfect as a film can get...a shocking and mesmerizing experience." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2007)      "Doesn't offer startlingly new information, [but] its calm, methodical presentation of the evidence is a solid contribution to...the American public's understanding." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2002)      "A dull, stolid attempt at a contemporary film noir, clumsily constructed and loaded with bad hard-boiled dialogue, slack direction and stilted acting...a no good movie." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2001)      "The bracing nature of the humor, the energy of the direction and the authenticity of the performances go far to mitigate its weaknesses." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion
