2.5/4
    
G
(2002)
     "G often resembles a glossy BET soap opera...Cherot does capture the decadence of its slick “playas” in the extravagant world of bling-worshipping music moguls" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2007)      "Sappy and simplistic, The Game Plan belongs on the sidelines of stale cotton candy creativity." [movie review]      World Voice News   
  
3/4
     (2002)      "...works within its own pensive and penetrating element. Caustic and jaunty, Gangster No. 1 is a cynical sideshow that dismisses the notion that crime does not always pay." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2004)      "...a derivative and sporadic furball fable...[Hewitt] surprisingly delivers a perfunctory plot that’s about as appetizing as a stale box of Meow Mix. [A] flea-bitten project." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1/4
     (2006)      "It's too bad that curiosity didn't kill this particular cat. However, the rest of us will find more stimulating time mindlessly playing with a ball of yarn." [movie review]      Movie Eye

2/4
     (2003)      "Van Sant gleefully trots out this misguided existential experiment that’s gone completely awry. The result: Gerry is high-minded, hallucinatory hogwash." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
2/4
     (2005)      "...a chaotic and seriously cliched rags-to-riches rap drama that feels more exploitative than it does explosively realized in its impulsive skin." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2008)      "Carell's wacky presence uplifts the modern-day gizmo-crazed Smart to a passable parade of pure inspired silliness that pays adequate homage to the iconic TV series." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2007)      "The misguided rag tag ramblings of Ghost Rider will simply wipe away from one's memory bank faster than a chintzy ink-stained tattoo on a sweaty forearm." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2008)      "Koepp strangely captures the cheeky charm and chippy imagination of Ghost Town that could have been deemed just another faceless formulaic fantasy." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3.5/4
     (2001)      "In Terry Zwigoff's stridently astute Ghost World, he examines the nature of youth-oriented alienation with offbeat poignancy and supportable depth." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2009)      "[An] odious romantic comedy...has all the depth and charm of an unwashed pillow case. Needlessly unimaginative and cloying..." [movie review]      Associated Content   
  
1.5/4
     (2003)      "Writer-director Martin Brest delivers what amounts to be a dreadfully uneven mob dramedy that has more holes in it than an aging pot-bellied gangster riddled with the hail of a wayward semi-automatic’s bullets." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3.5/5
     (2001)      "It's altogether devilishly cunning." [movie review]      rec.arts.movies.reviews   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "Temple is able to convey a perceptive and substantive mood pertaining to the staying power of this weirdly nuanced outdoor finger-snapping function." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
1/4
     (2001)      "If poor Mariah Carey suffered a well-publicized breakdown prior to the release of this disposable display, imagine what she'll feel like to learn that she may have appeared in one of the worst ill-advised pointless flicks of the year." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2006)      "Glory Road could potentially be dismissed as trivial but this is a big-hearted piece of entertainment that overcomes its lightweight sanctimonious vibes." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2003)      "With the exception of Lang's terrific performance as the perplexed Stonewall Jackson, the rest of the extensive cast is basically on cruise control." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2003)      "History buffs and Civil War re-enactors may find this painfully long-winded epic a gem worth exploring but others will most likely prefer to go dancing in the active battlefields of Fredricksburg as opposed to enduring this detached costume drama." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
1.5/4
     (2004)      "...a flaccid frightfest that is all clumsy thumbs...a murky melodrama of crushingly half-hearted proportions" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "[A] tortured morality play that takes place on the salacious sidewalks where bluebloods and bombastic blue-collared souls equally pound the pavement in cynical unity." [movie review]      World Voice News   
  
2/4
     (2003)      "...folks will be barking up the wrong tree if they were to consider this pooch picture an escapist treat for impressionable minds...Good Boy! is nothing but a bland knockoff of Spielberg’s E.T." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2002)      "Ultimately, [Aniston's] Justine Last ends up as the poster girl for unnecessary self-pity and relentless self-doubt. Unfortunately, this makes her a needlessly naive bad girl in a preachy and unresolved film." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2007)      "[A] fetid romantic comedy...In short, if it weren't for bad Luck then the chump Chuck wouldn't have any cinematic luck at all." [movie review]      World Voice News   
  
3.5/4
     (2005)      "...an ambitiously earnest and well-informed biopic. Clooney’s Good Night, And Good Luck is perceptive, manipulating, and cleverly crafted..." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2009)      "An emotional lullaby about lost diverse souls trying to cope with the rigors of life in a confining, cultural cage of ambivalence...another tantalizing triumph for Bahrani" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2005)      "If the choppy screenplay could have been tightly scripted, there would have been something more convincing to forcefully sing about regarding this divine but disjointed ditty" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2003)      "...an elaborate and hokey grade B thrills-and-chills anemic sideshow...the shock value has all the heft of a nun sticking up her middle finger in anger" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "Enthralling and exhilarating in its explosive camp-driven excess, Grindhouse is a combustible concoction that shamelessly stimulates the senses." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
3.5/4
     (1997)      "...a quirky high-caliber dark comedy that is bound to send your cynicism and funnybone to the same repair shop. Grosse Pointe Blank is so effortless in its relentless send-up of everyday drivel" [movie review]      rec.arts.movies.reviews   
  
1/4
     (2006)      "Consequently, The Grudge 2 is ruthlessly uneventful and as generically scary as stale pumpkin pie two weeks removed from a sedate Halloween party." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2006)      "...daring yet woefully derivative [and] waterlogged...The Guardian's formulaic fable manages to come up all drippy." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2005)      "[The] interracial intimacy is so lightweight, dismissive, and flat that this toothless comedy loses its edginess...turns into another arbitrary salt-and-pepper buddy romp" [movie review]      Movie Eye
