A–
     (2001)      "It doesn't feel like a normal espionage thriller; it feels much, much better." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B-
     (2009)      "If it never feels quite as clever as it thinks it is, so what? It's going to look like freaking Antonioni when Transformers lands in a couple of weeks." [movie review]      Mania.com   
  
B
     (2006)      "Its trump card, however, comes not just in the star, but in the very funny supporting cast chosen to back him up." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2004)      "It would be abhorrent if it weren't so screamingly funny." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C
     (2003)      "I'm sure they'll take away my film geek badge for saying so, but shouldn't they have dumbed this down a little more?" [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2008)      "Seriously dude, no means no." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C+
     (2004)      "…as pleasantly adrift as its hero, a modestly enjoyable sojourn that has no idea where it should be going." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B-
     (2007)      "It brings its share of pleasures to the table, and fans willing to be flexible will find an interesting riff on the Terminator franchise here." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C+
     (2003)      "The first two films are classics. The third is just another carnival ride: fun perhaps, but ultimately disposable." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C+
     (2009)      "It's a far more compelling world than a narrative." [movie review]      Mania.com   
  
B
     (2003)      "Remakes are invariably a letdown; this one, at least, doesn't slip too far." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D
     (2006)      "We may not have seen the end of this nascent franchise, but the beginning leaves depressingly little hope for improvement." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2006)      "Its true strengths [go] beyond the easy jokes: asking why someone might choose to do what Naylor does and how they can look at themselves in the mirror each morning." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B-
     (2008)      "The Clone Wars is what it is -- what Star Wars has become, for better or for worse -- and while it won't blow anyone over, you can't say you weren't warned going in." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A
     (2007)      "An Old Testament bellow of ferocity and pain that seduces us on so many levels you'd swear you could see the fourth wall tumbling down around our ears." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A-
     (2000)      "Thirteen Days delivers a hugely engaging look at the closest we've come to the end of the world...and makes you marvel at how we pulled back from the brink." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2001)      "For those looking for a little scary fun, in the spirit of a man who once attached joy buzzers to theater seats, Thirteen Ghosts makes a tasty Halloween treat." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2006)      "The further its message goes, the greater the chance that someone will finally start watching a very irresponsible band of far-too-powerful watchmen." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2007)      "A sympathetic, deeply human view of figures whose usual cinematic function is to get thrashed by Chuck Norris." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2003)      "It will bore some to tears, but those willing to let the film unfold will find it well worth the effort." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B-
     (2005)      "A malnourished effort at best, struggling to fill a mere 76 minutes by stretching its concept thinner than the skeletons that populate its stop-motion underworld." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2002)      "This new Time Machine is hardly perfect… yet it proves surprisingly serviceable. Even at its worst, it's not half-bad." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2008)      "A time-travel story swathed in the banality of everyday life, yet girded with the tense and extraordinary inevitability possessed by the best tales of this ilk." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2000)      "It's hard to hate a movie that features Janeane Garafalo as a psychotic space kangaroo." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C
     (2007)      "I concede that it won't kill you, even if it feels like watching someone else play a decade-old video game." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2001)      "[Denzel Washington] towers above the film's petty failings, overwhelming them with his sheer presence and defying us to tear our eyes away." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C
     (2007)      "No one presumes to apply artistic criteria to the sight of a high-rise being demolished. Why should Transformers be any different?" [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C
     (2009)      "Like its predecessor, it remains resolutely critic-proof and more honest about its purpose than most soulless corporate abominations." [movie review]      Mania.com   
  
C-
     (2005)      "It's so busy trying to bolster its liabilities that it can't properly develop its assets." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C
     (2008)      "It has the right mixture of gimmicky hooks and grindhouse appeal, but never exploits them properly." [movie review]      Mania.com   
  
C
     (2006)      "This couple has endured for over 900 years; the least Tristan & Isolde can do is show us a reason why." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2008)      "Hell, it may even save Tom Cruise's career. Let's see Batman do that." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B-
     (2004)      "How many summer pictures can you name where you're not certain if the right side wins?" [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C–
     (2002)      "Not only does it squander most of [Jackie Chan's] assets, but it provides very little to distract us from the waste." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D
     (2008)      "Supporters may argue that future installments bring more depth, but soup this thin rarely improves with age." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D
     (2009)      "So distressingly po-faced that even the funny bits smack of faux teen gravitas." [movie review]      Mania.com
