D+
     (2005)      "Visually striking but ponderous and self-important...the serious issues it tries to raise are cheapened by its combination of pretentious preaching and comic-book derring-do." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2001)      "So pretentious, arch and spuriously clever that watching it almost makes your teeth ache." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2007)      "Doesn't make a great addition to the register of motel-based horror movies." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2004)      "A moderately engaging, visually lovely, if narratively commonplace tale of a precocious child and his dream of a family." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2001)      "When the big revelations come at the end, they certainly rate an eleven on a Prepostero-Meter with a scale of ten." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2009)      "Lovely to look at, perhaps, but in the end there's not much to it behind the surface glamour." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (2005)      "Doomed by its script to a sort of tedious mediocrity, this pigeon's as dead as a dodo." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2008)      "A thoroughly respectable historical re-enactment, though lacking the epic scope and dramatic urgency that would make it a truly memorable one." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2000)      "May not offer much to think about, but it does provide a feast for the eye, even if it's a meal that's mostly bright red." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2004)      "Monstrously bad...Sommers not only plunders the classic films for material but trashes what he's cribbed from them." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D-
     (2001)      "A misbegotten venture that transforms a flawed but intriguing original into an elephantine, pretentious mess....All that's left is the murkiness and obscurity." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2004)      "Not unpleasant in a bland Masterpiece Theatre way, but not very faithful to its astringent source either...easy to sit through but not particularly engaging." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D+
     (2008)      "The cascade of coincidences and logical lapses drains it of excitement and leaves it seeming overwhelmingly ridiculous." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
F
     (2005)      "There's no known antidote for a movie as poisonously bad as Venom." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2006)      "Thanks to its star it possesses both a delicate charm and a poignancy that doesn't descend into mawkishness...O'Toole lights up the screen with masterful understatement." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2000)      "While almost aggressively French in tone and style, nonetheless an affecting, if fragile and flawed, meditation on the realities of romance and aging." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2004)      "May not match Leigh's finest films, but it's still superior to the best most other directors have to offer." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C+
     (2003)      "A high-brow docudrama, but one that doesn't transcend the conventions of the genre." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2000)      "A proficient enough by-the-numbers nail-biter, but it certainly doesn't scale any cinematic heights." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C
     (2001)      "Ultimately a remote, emotionally parched piece whose refinement seems curiously at odds with its narrative." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2001)      "So exaggerated and broad that it comes off as annoying rather than charming." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
A-
     (2004)      "An enthralling experience...as intricate, stylish and exquisite to behold as Jeunet's previous films, but with greater emotional richness." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B
     (2008)      "Has a Mediterranean glow that gives the tale of passion and creativity a fundamentally warm quality that will surprise many viewers." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2003)      "Loses altitude faster than AMR stock." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
D
     (2004)      "I see a dead movie...Though it's designed as one of Shyamalan's trademark puzzlers, the only real surprise is how stilted and hokey it is." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
C-
     (1999)      "A rather stunted and sliggish exercise in style whose sporadically haunting visual quality doesn't make up for its shallowness and ponderous pace." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B+
     (2008)      "A lovely, quietly touching film that approaches a provocative and topical subject with dramatic sensitivity and graceful understatement." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion   
  
B-
     (2006)      "Moderately enjoyable, but a step back rather than forward." [movie review]      One Guy's Opinion
