" [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Observe and Report (2009)      "Jody Hill's twisted comedy dances with dark material and mines laughs from behavior that would be disturbing in other circumstances..." [dvd review]      MSN.com            Ocean's Thirteen (2007)      "It's all very silly and overdone, but they pull it off..." [dvd review]      MSN.com            Of Time and the City (2009)      "... a wistful, funny, satirical, angry and forgiving portrait." [movie review]      Parallax View            Offside (2006)      "Panahi isn't shy about confronting the cultural hypocrisy, but it's less through debate than through the lively interplay between the young urban women and the provincial soldiers..." [dvd review]      MSN.com       A      Old Joy (2006)      "... the dynamics shift from moment to moment. The beauty of the film is how director Kelly Reichardt brilliantly captures those moments with lucid simplicity." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C+      Old School (2003)      "To call the haphazard string of gags a story is to give it far too much credit, but it is funny in a blunt, profane frat boy way..." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B-      Oldboy (2005)      "... any intended irony is beaten into submission." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Olga's Girls (1964)      "Indifferently acted, crude and sleazy, this fascinatingly bad exploitation artifact of 1960s grindhouses is hilarious camp..." [movie review]      St@tic Multimedia            Olga's House of Shame/Olga's Dance Hall Girls/White Slaves of Chinatown - Triple Feature (1964)      "For pure exploitation, it doesn't get any more perverse and irredeemably sleazy than Joseph P. Mawra's bargain basement, not-so-Grand Guignol "Olga" films..." [movie review]      St@tic Multimedia       6/10      Once in the Life (2000)      "The pingpong repetition of dialogue is more precious than poetic and heavy silences and actorly asides draw out a slim story that packs few dramatic surprises." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B-      The One (2001)      ""The One" is pure pulp junk and Wong embraces it as such, rushing through the mundane details of establishing characters and defining motivation to leap into action..." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       8/10      One (2000)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B+      One from the Heart (1982)      "... simultaneously ahead of its time and delightfully quaint, a simple romantic comedy that revels in the dreamy artifice of a meticulously re-created fantasy Las Vegas." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      One Night at McCool's (2001)      "A spirited, screwball crime-thriller with a sly heart." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C+      One: The Movie (2005)      "... naive and almost crippled by the effusive false modesty of its narration, but within that naivete is a spirit of inquiry." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior (2005)      "An impressive, adrenaline-boosted action showcase." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B-      Only Human (2006)      "The irreverent comedy of family feuds, impulsive leaps of (il)logic, and temporary amnesia is more screwball eccentricity than social satire." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B+      Open Hearts (2003)      "... benefits from the best qualities of Dogme... while avoiding the movement's tendency to dwell on the worst impulses of human behavior." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C      The Operator (2001)      "...Dichter expects us to accept his abrupt transformation from ruthless player to spiritual convert with nothing more than a teary confession." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B+      Or (My Treasure) (2005)      "Yedaya is respectful and sensitive of everyone in Or's life and creates a beautiful, complex and rich relationship between mother and daughter..." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            The Orphanage (2007)      "... the film revels in spooky scares and goose-pimply eeriness but is grounded in a human drama of loss and sacrifice." [dvd review]      MSN.com       B+      Osmosis Jones (2001)      "It has zippy energy, visual imagination, inspired puns and all the fart jokes, booger gags, and vomit spews a 13-year-old could ask for..." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C      The Other End of the Line (2008)      "... a buffet of romantic comedy comfort food: the good old American standbys complemented by bland international dishes." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Other Men's Women (1931)      "... set around the railroad yards and Wellman fills the film with scenes of the men and machines in action." [movie review]      Parallax View       B-      The Other Side of the Bed (2003)      "Caught up in the spirit and energy inherent in the musical, the beautiful bed-hopping twentysomethings of The Other Side of the Bed wake up in a lighthearted screwball musical." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      Our Daily Bread (2006)      "It's as much conceptual art as dispassionate survey of the bloodless assembly line nature of the modern food industry, all process and work, automation and repetition." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Our Man in Havana (1959)      "... a lampoon of international espionage games and the gullible officers running Britain's MI6 like a old boy's club." [dvd review]      Parallax View            Our Man in Havana (1959)      "... a dryly witty satire of the spy game." [movie review]      Turner Classic Movies Online       B+      Our Song (2001)      "It's not clear who is telling whose story, but it's obvious this song belongs to them all." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C      Outlander (2009)      "... a skimpy script with unimaginative characters, mundane dialogue and routine plot twists." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            The Outlaw and His Wife (1917)      "... a gorgeous film and a devastating drama..." [dvd review]      MSN.com            The Outlaw and His Wife (1917)      "... [Victor] Sjostrom creates images both beautiful and elemental." [movie review]      Turner Classic Movies Online       C-      Over Her Dead Body (2008)      "A stumbling romantic lark about a bubbly psychic who throws down with the shrill ghost of her boyfriend's former fiancee, Over Her Dead Body is a stiff of a supernatural comedy." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B-      Over the Hedge (2006)      "Best ignore the sloppy message (along with the flavorless songs by Ben Folds) and have fun with the colorful activity and cartoon slapstick..." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C      Overnight (2004)      "The caustic cautionary tale of overnight success sabotaged by vanity and arrogance is perversely fascinating, to be sure, but blunt and ineloquent." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C+      The Overture (2005)      "... a combination of gee-whiz reverence and cheesy melodrama..." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C+      Oyster Farmer (2005)      "... the plot takes some unlikely turns along familiar romantic rough waters." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer
