3/5
     (2001)      "A festive experience for those who are willing to embrace Latin jazz, but it doesn't reveal anything beyond a peek at a two hour celluloid concert in session." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com

4/4
     (2005)      "...[a] revealing and intensely introspective biopic...an amazing character study of a complex man captivated by his erratic times." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3.5/4
     (2003)      "...one comes away with a sense of angered sensationalism...Clearly, this odd and probing documentary is affecting in its seedy uncertainty." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3.5/4
     (2006)      "...a pulsating actioner wedged in edginess and slick wit. Intense, provocative, complicated and daringly impish...all add that much to this hard-edged "Bond"-ing brouhaha." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3.5/4
     (2002)      "In director Spielberg's charming and effervescently nostalgic adventure Catch Me If You Can, the nifty chase is definitely on." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2004)      "...[an] implausible hyperactive giddy go-cart caper...this junior-sized Mission: Impossible wannabe is nothing but an overwrought knockoff that doesn’t measure up" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2004)      "...doesn’t quite cut it as the escapist comic caper...this tepid and tired movie has all the appeal of a box of stale Tender Vittles" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3.5/4
     (2002)      "After viewing the blistering thriller Changing Lanes, there's a whole new meaning to the phrase "driving each other crazy". Director Roger Michell pieces together a robust and energizing social drama" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2003)      "...merely an act of sheer overkill...Full Throttle is just an excuse to deliver another random hyperactive fleshy fable and pass it off as a mainstream mega-snack." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3.5/4
     (2002)      "Fittingly probing, sensual, mysterious and raw. Byler’s exposition is vastly taut, revealing, and firmly perceptive. Charlotte Sometimes radiates with invigorating absorption" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3.5/5
     (2002)      "Overall, it's a wacky and inspired little film that works effortlessly at delivering genuine, acerbic laughs." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
2/4
     (2003)      "Another disposable and quick-witted vehicle aimed at securing the generic feel good vibes for those begging for conveyor belt family fare that’s syrupy and indistinguishable." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2005)      "When cutesy family-oriented comedies start to show the strained buffoonery of its leading star (Martin), you know it's time to hang up the hat and call it the day." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2002)      "In the rousing and rhythmically spry Chicago, Marshall delivers a finger-snapping gem that radiates jubilance and promotes its lyrical spirit -- its bounciness and endless energy will have audiences giddy with delight." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2005)      "Chicken Little will automatically cluck gleefully for its youthful audience. But for others, this bland bird will take time to roast." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3.5/4
     (2006)      "Immensely thought-provoking and chillingly insightful...a resilient sci-fi fantasy that dares to contemplate the fate of mankind's chaotic impulsiveness." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
1/4
     (2004)      "...one of the most woefully irritating and uneventful so-called comedic Yuletide yawners...a seedless slapstick romp that has all the bounce of a defective pogo stick" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2004)      "Utterly ponderous and as clunky as a crater rock. Twohy forgot to inject his Diesel-fueled narrative with the spunk and drive that made his first installment so palatable" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2002)      "If the film had only bothered to take it up a few notches and buck the superficial confines of a flavorless crime saga, then this vehicle would have been a lot more appetizing in its zealous state." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
1/4
     (2006)      "[A] painfully generic and gimmicky comedy. Relentlessly interminable, predictable and drowsy in concept. Sandler's man-child routine has already run its course ad nauseam." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2004)      "...a hazy and hypnotic surge that more often than not resonates as an atmospheric chiller...this head-tampering frightfest is notably staggering" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2005)      "...familiar in its feel-good delivery...a solid student-athlete melodrama that creeps up on you more convincingly than a three-point shot at the buzzer" [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
1.5/4
     (2003)      "Manor trickles along unconvincingly without once dispatching any genuine sense of supreme sadistic surprises. For this revelation alone, Cold Creek Manor certainly needs to be condemned." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2003)      "Convincingly elegant and unsparing, Cold Mountain is a sweeping and enriching narrative that captures the fancy and flashiness of old-fashioned poetic storytelling. " [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2004)      "A refreshingly mature and stable actioner with a gritty confidence. There’s an urban subtle slickness about Collateral that resonates so quietly and convincingly" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2002)      "The only one that can do damage in the collateral sense are indifferent, undemanding moviegoers willing to embrace an unpalatable and choppy absurd fantasy over an overwhelming and disheartening reality." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2007)      "Let's face it, folks...we need another repetitive spoof movie like a piglet needs dirty fingernails...never registers beyond aping its lazy connect-the-dots jocularity." [movie review]      World Voice News   
  
3/4
     (2002)      "Comedian never comes full circle with the intimate details surrounding the personal life of Jerry Seinfeld. The real romanticism is about a man and his love affair with one main dancing partner—the companion called comedy." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
2.5/4
     (2002)      "Although delightfully overzealous, Clooney's field trip of loose-ended frivolity sputters aimlessly in our attempts to embrace a complicated soul being presented as a sympathetic human question mark." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2003)      "Foley’s nourishing and naughty narrative provides plenty of “confidence” in which to draw upon. This is a gently convoluted but smooth scam piece that sucks the audience into its wily realm of mischievousness" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2004)      "In director Michael Lembeck’s disjointed gender-bender musical comedy Connie and Carla, the mediocrity oozes out much like the intolerable sounds from a rusty trumpet " [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3.5/4
     (2005)      "...[an] astoundingly gripping conspiracy thriller...there is an unblinking complexity about the socio-political climate that smothers this fetching African campus" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2005)      "...a spiritually spry yet lumbering fantasy...The technological flourishes are a marvel to behold but the film’s erratic journey is as choppy as a country dirt road" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3.5/4
     (2007)      "[An] intimate look at a tragic footnote in entertainment. A moody yet strangely melodic concoction about creativity and confusion in an overwhelming abyss of artistic isolation" [movie review]      World Voice News   
  
1/4
     (2004)      "...a taxing and intolerable vehicle that has all the charm of a gold-toothed rapper’s root canal. The Cookout is certainly not any food for thought." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
3/4
     (2003)      "[a] quirky and disturbing melodrama...armed with a witty wickedness and intriguing premise that’s stylish and thoroughly exuberant" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2003)      "Despite the boisterous production values of this overwrought and unevenly irreverent disaster B movie, The Core never really shows us anything worth exploring under its nonsensical albeit volatile crusty surface." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2001)      "The film is merely a myopic footnote that cannot match its own nonsensical raucous tone." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2002)      "...a plotline that's as lumpy as two-day old porridge...the filmmakers' paws, sad to say, were all over this "un-bear-able" project!" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1/4
     (2006)      "This sophomoric supernatural stinker couldn't put a convincing spell on a disabled frog. The Covenant has all the intriguing mysticism of a bent magic wand." [movie review]      Movie Eye

2/4
     (2003)      "...showy, shapeless, overwrought, senseless and arbitrary...Bartkowziak’s baby went rock-a-bye all right and the frantic wind did excessively blow—but this Cradle simply didn’t rock." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
2.5/4
     (2006)      "[A] monotonously mindless but colorful caper.Crank is banally boisterous...jolting junk that strangely is filling in its sneering, rambunctious spirit." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2009)      "Brash, outrageously inane and chaotically crafty, Crank 2: High Voltage is unapologetic in its sheer penchant for graphic-induced ribaldry as its charismatic calling card." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2005)      "...a gritty examination of misplaced tension and despair wrapped up in its makeshift boiling point...percolates with the right kind of toxic manipulation and complexity" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2002)      "The kiddies may unknowingly take Irwin and company in acceptable, good-natured doses. But for most adults watching this hollow showcase, they're most likely to yell, "what a darn croc!" Let's put the shrimp on the barbie and call it a day, shall we?" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2002)      "Unfortunately, this young female-awakening dilapidated drama demands everything of Britney Spears as she juggles the rigors of being a sugar-coated lamb one moment than a rampaging rogue in a slinky bra the next." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2005)      "Squanders its potential with idiotic chilling flourishes that wouldn’t upstage a Halloween mask. Fittingly, this is one withering werewolf saga that certainly bites the dust" [movie review]      Movie Eye
