C+
     (2000)      "Like the rusted old subs deployed in the story, the picture seems designed to stay in the safe shallows and not to plumb any real dramatic depths." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2006)      "A solid but unremarkable piece...will be more at home on the tube." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2008)      "While there's no denying that this is a fine concert film that should certainly please fans, it's not a watershed picture of its kind." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2004)      "While one has to make allowances for its home-movie quality, this little movie's affectionately lowbrow treatment of an often-maligned subculture has a certain homely charm." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2009)      "Plays like a busted Fox sitcom pilot, though heavier on the raunchiness and dragged out to a literally painful hour and a half." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D+
     (2007)      "If one learns by suffering, as grandpa keeps saying here, this movie offers a good deal of instruction." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2002)      "Visually as buffed as the athletes it celebrates, but also as airheaded as most of them seem to be." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2006)      "An unholy combination of comic book and video game,...so awful that you'd swear it had been directed by Uwe Boll." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2008)      "Avoiding histrionics and overstatement, Un Secret reveals a story about a family's past suffering that may not be unique, but in this telling is quietly powerful." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D+
     (2006)      "Brash, annoying juvenile slapstick comedy...Once word gets around, these Minors probably won't be as much unaccompanied as unattended." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2009)      "Shouldn't have been brought to term." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2003)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2000)      "Most viewers -- especially those swept up by The Sixth Sense -- are likely to find it a grave disappointment." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2003)      "There's a place for a movie like this--but it's really on the Hallmark Hall of Fame rather than in an auditorium you have to pay to get into." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2004)      "Basically preaching to the choir, of course. But that doesn't mean that the sermon isn't one that needs to be heard." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2005)      "Doesn't even have the idiotic charm one might expect of a 'Plan 10 from Outer Space'...a home movie that ought to have stayed there." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2000)      "The makers hit us over the head with visual tricks ... that have the odd effect of diminishing the emotional wallop." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2008)      "Engaging and touching--a manipulative tearjerker, but an effective one." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2001)      "While ultimately the picture is somewhat frustrating as simple narrative, Rampling's extraordinary performance makes it a powerful depiction of grief." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2009)      "The extraordinary images compensat[e] for its lack of structure, less than stellar narration and musical missteps." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2003)      "Strikes a melodramatic, soap operatic tone...doesn't penetrate deep enough to touch a raw emotional nerve." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2003)      "Part travelogue and part Lifetime liberated-woman-of-the-week movie...little more than a standard-issue (and standard-tissue) women's picture." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2002)      "A smart, shrewd, even charming spoof...easily beats 'Austin Powers' at his own game." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2004)      "Connoisseurs should find it the sort of dark cinematic delicacy that, if still more poetic reverie than prose narrative, is ultimately more filling than standard fare." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2003)      "For a movie about a centuries-old battle between vampires and werewolves, Underworld proves to be a surprisingly toothless affair." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2006)      "It's round two of the battle between vampires and werewolves. I won't reveal who wins, but the audience certainly loses." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2009)      "Every bit as inane and tedious as its predecessors." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2005)      "Just about the quality of a busted WB Network pilot, 'Undiscovered' certainly deserves to remain that way." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2002)      "The only thing indisputable here is that lots of talent has been frittered away on a really silly and formulaic story." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2002)      "Slick, steamy smut served up in a series of scenes framed like Rembrandt paintings, with a soupcon of phony meaningfulness on the side." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2005)      "An extremely old-fashioned story that comes across as a starrily-cast, determinedly middlebrow Hallmark Hall of Fame special." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2007)      "A thought-provoking documentary that's both informative and strangely poignant--as well as beautifully shot and edited." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2009)      "A prosaic thriller that needed a touch of visual poetry to make the grade...Kim's original is far scarier; come to think of it, so is Lewis Allen's The Uninvited from 1944." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A
     (2006)      "A viscerally lacerating, emotionally wrenching experience...that melds the starkness of documentary with the power of drama." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2004)      "Deadly serious, almost funereal...a pretentious, dreary film, which is also frustratingly unenlightening." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2006)      "Almost everybody's got amnesia in Unknown, and after watching it you might pine to be similarly afflicted." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2005)      "Amnesia has been a staple of movies from time immemorial, but few, if any, of them have cut to the bone the way this modest documentary does." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2005)      "High-concept schlock...mingles a thoroughly ridiculous action movie with an incredibly mawkish melodrama." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2007)      "By presenting both sides, even if unequally, the film manages to do something like justice to an important if controversial figure." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2008)      "Police procedural meets torture porn...sleazy and absurd rather than clever and surprising." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A
     (2009)      "An animated movie that's far more human than most live-action ones, and easily maintains the exalted standards we've come to expect from Pixar. It's guaranteed to raise your spirits." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2005)      "While parts of 'Up and Down' are effective, as a whole it doesn't measure up to its laudable ambition...the last word of the title proves more accurate than the first." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2000)      "The result is entirely unconvincing as drama, but amusing as pulpish melodrama." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2005)      "A jovial commentary on the cult of celebrity in modern America and a wonderful metaphor for today's crass commercialization of the sports industry." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2005)      "The mixture of sitcom and soap opera that worked in 'Terms of Endearment' feels stale here, especially since the final-reel revelation is more cheat than treat." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2003)      "An utterly vacuous bit of fluff...one of those clumsy concoctions in which every element rings false and all the seams show." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2000)      "It's even worse than its predecessor." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion

B
     (2005)      "It raises our cultural awareness a bit, as well as generating some gentle smiles along the way." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion
