C-
    
O
(2001)
     "In this case, unhappily, 'O' stands not so much for 'Othello' as for 'Zero.'" [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A
     (2000)      "Lighthearted and amiable, it may be a cinematic trifle, but it's a trifle that has been flawlessly fashioned and polished to a brilliant sheen." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2009)      "A gentle, deadpan comedy-drama...you shouldn't miss the opportunity to make the acquaintance of this wryly observant little film." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A-
     (2004)      "Its honesty and avoidance of comfortable closure make it a refreshing change from the sort of phony uplift such stories ordinarily receive on the screen." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2009)      "It's Paul Blart with a nasty streak, a perverse kind of farce that most people will be more likely to recoil from than to laugh at." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2009)      "Tawdry potboiler...a very bad rip-off of Fatal Attraction." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2005)      "Serves a useful public service; more important, it's an engrossing film in its own right." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2001)      "Bouncy and amusing...utter fluff, to be sure, but it's highly enjoyable fluff, far superior to the earlier picture." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2007)      "Bright and glitzy but ultimately ephemeral and rather silly, featherweight sleight-of-hand without much of a payoff." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2004)      "Thinks it's hip, but its old-fashioned, anything-goes attitude is less engaging than vaguely obnoxious...far more fun for the performers than the viewers." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2006)      "Tells a familiar story, but does it well enough to merit a passing grade." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2004)      "Modestly engaging, but ultimately the fragile little movie wipes out, like a surfer who's misjudged a wave." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2005)      "Proves a case of some very good actors crossing the boundary from the region of off-beat domestic drama into the dread realm of preciousness and pretension." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2006)      "Or more aptly, The Aw in Awful." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2009)      "[A] sorry mess, a mangy, flea-bitten comedy of Daddy Day Care caliber." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2006)      "A minimalist stroll not worth taking...but if Old Joy doesn't do much, at least it doesn't do it for very long." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2003)      "A dismally unfunny, crass and rambling farce that flunks out on every conceivable level." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2005)      "As ludicrously complex and silly as any of Brian De Palma's worst thrillers...suffers from an excess of filmmaking brawn and a lack of brains." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2005)      "Like a Classics Comic Book adaptation of the story--tasteful, subdued and just a bit dull." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2006)      "Anybody who's seen the 1976 film will probably be pretty bored by this one, which is rather like an inferior copy of a painting that was no masterwork to begin with." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2006)      "On a clear day, to misquote the old Broadway tune, you can see the cliches." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (1997)      "Vastly enjoyable--a stylish, affectionate, old-fashioned swashbuckler...staged with such elan that the result is completely winning." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2001)      "Abominably written, directed and acted...wretched from first stop to last." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2005)      "A sporadically powerful but uneven little film, in which moments of insight and conviction alternate with others that seem contrived and mawkish." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2007)      "Wins you over without appearing even to try... Once...is so emotionally resonant and exuberantly enjoyable that you might just want to see it more than that." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2003)      "Might have been intended as a homage, but winds up seeming more like a bad parody...pumps the adrenaline and feeds the eye but starves the brain." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2003)      "This strange mixture never gels...the idea might be clever, but the realization doesn't do it justice." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2000)      "Goes too far in the direction of reticence, deliberately dampening the emotional resonance of the story so persistently that the characters become opaque and the narrative overly flat and matter-of-fact, even at the most wrenching moments." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2001)      "An utterly negligible martial-arts flick--cheap-looking, clumsily written, and not even very well staged, fight-wise." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2000)      "Has such a powerful subject...that it can hardly fail to make an emotional impact." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2002)      "While unsettling, it's also chilly and unmoving. One has to admire its craftsmanship, but in the end it proves oddly unsatisfying--not unlike Williams' performance in it." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion

F
     (2008)      "Borrows so heavily from the corpus of J-horror flicks, and especially Hideo Nakata's, that it should really be titled The Ring Tone." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2001)      "A picture whose wildly different components never really coalesce into a satisfying whole." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (1999)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2009)      "Not really a sequel but more a misguided prequelish follow-up...obviously enjoyed a much larger budget than its titular predecessor, but it's nowhere near as much fun." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2005)      "If you're a fan of old-style Hong Kong martial arts movies, you should find Ong-Bak a blast. And even if not, you may be surprised at how much dumb fun it is." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2006)      "Amiable, and occasionally even insightful, but also sometimes just silly and at others a trifle tasteless...a mixed bag that, unhappily, doesn't deliver quite enough." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2006)      "There are times when cinematic heart-tugging takes on the character of a frontal assault. Opal Dream is one of them." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2003)      "A picture of lovely simplicity and directness that reveals something of the complexity of the human heart with marvelous understatement." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2003)      "If you like old-fashioned westerns filled with grandiose landscapes and even more extraordinary acts of heroism, this movie's for you." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2006)      "No classic but not a disaster...by comparison to the recent competition it hits the target, if not the bull's-eye." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2004)      "Rarely as gripping as it wants to be; for the most part it treads water just as its lead characters do." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2001)      "The kind of picture for which the phrase 'shows promise' was invented...As a theatrical offering, though, it's way out of its league." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion

C
     (2002)      "A distinctly mixed bag, the occasional bursts of sharp writing alternating with lots of sloppiness and the obligatory moments of sentimental ooze." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2003)      "A cheap, silly, tawdry supernatural thriller...a gloomy, goofy mess that's talky and tedious to boot." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2000)      "Easily the funniest movie of the summer." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2001)      "Can be recommended only to moviegoers who like pictures so outrageously bad that you can revel in their awfulness." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2009)      "The problem with Orphan isn't merely that the film is idiotic--it's that it's also sleazy, formulaic and repellant." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion
