2/5
     (2001)      "A long-winded and stagy session of romantic contrivances that never really gels like the shrewd feminist fairy tale it could have been." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
2/4
     (2008)      "[A] pointless payday for director Khourie's banal blank check comedy...a straining pseudo-hysterical heist flick that has all the giddy appeal of an empty bank draft." [movie review]      World Voice News   
  
2.5/4
     (2005)      "...surprisingly plain and punchless. Still, Madagascar playfully aims to please its intended viewers (read: tykes) with its wandering spirit." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2006)      "Reunion plays like some dizzy-minded daytime drama that's complete with transparent pesky personalities wrapped up in a numb sermonizing of faith and fruitless frolic." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
1.5/4
     (2002)      "So pick up a dust rag and tidy up your room -- you'll have more of an engaging experience than being subject to this baseless, breezy hokum." [movie review]      Movie Eye

     (2003)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2003)      "...[a] laborious and repetitive one-joke comedy...about as hilarious as a former neglected TV child star's police mug shot photo. In short, the shizzle never quite matches the hizzle." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
2/4
     (2005)      "...scattered traces of bickering, bantering and belligerence without an ounce of constructive energy to make this sassy salt-n-pepper actioner a palatable diversion" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2003)      "Overall, A Man Apart is a carelessly clunky and protrusive production that feels as deep as a nostalgically naughty Starsky and Hutch rerun—only without the natural charm and genuine conviction." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2005)      "...a languishing farce...the welcoming cleavage of the strutting tasty tarts aren’t enough to breathe life into this interminable Texas-style football fable" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2006)      "[A] piece of pithy political pap. Sadly, [this] Man has all the biting promise of a crooked two-bit hack accepting a corporate kickback at a Chucky Cheese restaurant." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2004)      "Demme’s The Manchurian Candidate is a political popcorn pleaser that’s rousing in its sheer rawness." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
3/4
     (2006)      "Manderlay certainly has its fair share of sanctimony and the familiarity of old school psychological racial conflict but it effectively works on the hungry psyche." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
1/4
     (2003)      "...a tremendously clumsy and disastrous dud for the ages...a staggeringly inept romp that plays like stale fodder in a nostalgic Luther Campbell/2Live Crew home movie." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2007)      "Synthetically dull, manipulative and emotionally clunky, Baumbach's mawkish melodrama is a pretentious and garrulous character study that sits idly in its moping gibberish." [movie review]      World Voice News   
  
2/4
     (2007)      "Unfortunately for Martian Child this has more maple sap pouring out of it than a neglected Vermont tree looking for a good tapping." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
2/4
     (2002)      "And if you appreciate the one-sided theme to Lawrence's over-indulgent tirade, then knock yourself out and enjoy the big screen postcard that is a self-glorified Martin Lawrence lovefest. If you are willing to do this, then you so crazy!" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2003)      "...curiously dull and staid...spells trouble for an elaborate and adventurous film that desperately relies on its action-oriented swashbuckling tendencies" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2002)      "...it is definitely a come down to see the resilient comic attached to this excruciating, infantile flick. Conversely, Carvey needs to go incognito with the flaccid family fare The Master of Disguise" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
4/4
     (2005)      "...thoroughly engrossing and provocatively taut...keenly sophisticated, wryly humorous and mischievous...one of Allen’s best films in recent memory." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2003)      "...visually vigorous and devoutly exhilarating...a frenetic fable that’s thankfully rousing and robust...undeniably rapid, exotic, and marvelous in its impressive viewing." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2003)      "...a frantic and ponderous piece that is content enough to go through its wooden stage and whimper out with a deadening bang...[a] mind-bending misguided mess" [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
2/4
     (2003)      "...a frantic and ponderous piece that is content enough to go through its wooden stage and whimper out with a deadening bang...[a] mind-bending misguided mess" [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
3/4
     (2004)      "...a wicked and wily commentary on feminine teenage torture...armed with savage wit and a snappy attitude to match...a smart and sassy gem" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2003)      "...another generic and labored Jackie Chan action comedy that has no real kinetic kick to its nutty conception...this Medallion shouldn’t be worn proudly around Chan’s neck" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2004)      "...[a] star-studded but tediously uneven low-brow sequel...Meet the Fockers is pretty much a flavorless family affair to forget" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2007)      "Meet the Robinsons an actively spunky futuristic sci-fi showcase...one cannot deny its spry presentation that gives the movie an infectious cheeky charm." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2002)      "The Men in Black II are back to save us from the out-of-this-world vermin. But who's out to save us from the piffle of this sequel's "alien"-ating existence?" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2007)      "However, in their (The Pangs) first serving of an American-made boofest served with all the fixings of a horror-induced bunt cake the taste still remains strikingly superficial" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2006)      "Shockingly, the movie is never really heightened artistically...Miami Vice feels relentlessly tired and trivial in its raucous tracks." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "Absorbingly touching and terrifying, A Mighty Heart is an intimate film but has the gutsy and reflective ingredients of sorrow, introspection and outrage." [movie review]      World Voice News   
  
3/4
     (2003)      "Pervasively witty, smart, weirdly sweet and just plain off-the-wall, A Mighty Wind blows us away with its contagious array of knee-slapping bits within this nifty nostalgic narrative." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3.5/4
     (2008)      "Both triumphant and vastly disturbing, Van Sant's Milk is a penetrating portrait of an unconventional political figurehead immersed in the chaotic struggles of his defining times" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3.5/4
     (2004)      "Eastwood is the ultimate sparring partner when it comes to his latest prize-winning knockout Baby...displays its badge of cynicism and quiet despair" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2004)      "...[a] gritty and grand feel-good sporting story.This is a serviceable hat trick that scores some vital goals in its high-spirited gumption." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2005)      "As a transparent sequel, this flaccid follow-up has all the creative stability and comic support of a defective high heel shoe." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2006)      "...exhilarating and explosive. The verdict is swift and crafty: the adrenaline rush that is M:I:3 is convincingly enjoyable--MISSION accomplished." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2001)      "Monster's Ball tries to put a new spin on the salt and pepper romance plot. The result: a convoluted, overwrought interracial drama that oversells its message" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2005)      "...feels like some rejected TV sitcom pilot with its inane one-joke premise about fussing females and their trivial tirades...a clueless and contrived concoction" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2009)      "Monsters vs. Aliens still packs a sufficient amount of jolting jocularity that is sure to satisfy the entertaining mindsets of youngsters and oldsters alike...a zesty escapist treat" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1.5/4
     (2002)      "This film's stylistic incoherency is rooted in a convoluted morass of supernatural gibberish. Director Mark Pellington conjures up a long-winded, absurd horror thriller that needlessly flexes its hysterical muscles" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2004)      "Sure, Mr. 3000 may be a mere bunt in a traditional game that fancies majestic home runs but it is nevertheless the impact of the hit that counts at the moment." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2005)      "...a stylish and slick romantic romp that is a sheer blast...a stimulating actioner that is quite funny and visually appetizing." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2002)      "The only saving grace about Mr. Deeds is its functioning as a wise and timely cliche': money can't buy everything--especially for a clunky comedy with no spirit or no spark." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2007)      "Generically silly-coated and pointless, [this] "gym teacher from hell" frivolity has all the freshness of stale athletic socks tucked away in a pimple-faced boy's locker." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2/4
     (2002)      "The fuzzy math doesn't add up in the Sandra Bullock by-the-numbers thriller "Murder by Numbers"" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3.5/4
     (2002)      "Denis and co-writer Michele Petin's impeccable screenplay penetrates with a rawness that that is both unflinching and tantalizing. Lead provocatuers Testud and Parmentier give superlative performances" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2007)      "Although at times bland and cheesy in concept, Music and Lyrics has the right kind of benevolent bounce to its cheeky step." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1/4
     (2008)      "Raunchy and wretched...profoundly unfunny and sophomoric sludge...meaningless material that wouldn't be suitable for lining your pet parrot's birdcage." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
1/4
     (2002)      "My Boss’s Daughter is another generically sloppy and dismal chuckle session that doesn’t have any clue whatsoever as to why its torturous funnybone is about as amusing as a mugging in the city’s red light district." [movie review]      Movie Eye
