[movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       1.5/4      Rails & Ties (2007)      "Either an unsuccessfully manipulative, sappy melodrama or the most deranged concept for a family sitcom anyone has ever developed." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       2.5/4      Rambo (2008)      "Has the gritty realism of the first film and a sadder mood for our hero but still continues Rambo as a soldier for hire involved in a standard plot." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       2/4      Rat Race (2001)      "it’s a sad day when a man capable of such perfectly insane comic timing cannot properly pace a simple It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World rehash." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       3/4      Ratatouille (2007)      "A visually astounding comedy that's missing the emotional significance and thematic complexity of the computer animation studio's best work." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       4/4      Ray (2004)      "Emerges as an honest and loving tribute to one of the few, true legends of modern music." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       0/4      The Real Cancun (2003)      "It's a document of the decline of Western civilization, and no, it's not because everyone in it drinks, has sex, and parties but because when asked if someone could film it, they said yes." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       1.5/4      The Reaping (2007)      "A mess of theological ponderings, cheap twists and turns, and cheesy stylistic choices." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       2.5/4      Recess: School's Out (2001)      "These are definitely characters with comedic promise, but the movie is so concerned on establishing its big story, that it leaves them too far behind." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       3/4      The Recruit (2003)      "Its screenplay keeps us on our toes in terms of plotting and expectations, which makes it easier to forgive all the questions the lackadaisical finale brings up." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       3.5/4      Red Dragon (2002)      "Forget arguing about style over substance; here, the style is the substance." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       1.5/4      Reign of Fire (2002)      "Given the choice between the humans in this movie and the dragons, I’m rooting for the cockroaches." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       2.5/4      Reign Over Me (2007)      "Successful until the rusty workings of its story gears start to show." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       2/4      Rendition (2007)      "The stories are unflatteringly forced together, neither of them highlighting the thematic relevance of the other." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       1.5/4      Reno 911!: Miami (2007)      "I'm just not a fan of the show, and Reno 911!: Miami doesn't help in the least to make me one." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       1.5/4      Rent (2005)      "A stylistic mess all around." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       3/4      Rescue Dawn (2007)      "Herzog's admiration for [Dengler] and his story is apparent." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       3.5/5      Reservation Road (2007)      "Never cloys about the grief process." [movie review]      UR Chicago Magazine       1/4      Resident Evil (2002)      "A zombie movie in every sense of the word--mindless, lifeless, meandering, loud, painful, obnoxious." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       1/4      Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)      "At least [the series] has been consistently bad, but Extinction might be the worst of them." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       2.5/4      Resurrecting the Champ (2007)      "The script and director Rod Lurie just can't get the parts to meld." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       3/4      Riding in Cars with Boys (2001)      "I can take or leave sentimentality, but I cannot ignore when a film actually portrays at least three truthful, complex relationships." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       3/4      The Ring (2002)      "Despite my reservations, The Ring works." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       2.5/4      The Road (2009)      "So intent on finding the shortest route to the essence of the book that it never discovers its own soul." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       3.5/4      Road to Perdition (2002)      "In such able hands, the film transcends its generic restrictions." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       2/4      Rock Star (2001)      "There are no shades of gray, and by the end when Chris finds what he wants, you begin to wonder if he found Jesus too." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       3/4      Rocky Balboa (2006)      "Returns to the series' character-driven origins and is subsequently the best film in the series since the 1976 original." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       3/4      Roger Dodger (2002)      "An entertaining look into the male psyche -- well, at least the psyche of males preoccupied with adolescent concerns." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       0.5/4      Rollerball (2002)      "An insultingly bad movie, and even the flashiest, most distracting sound and visual gimmicks cannot hide this fact." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       2.5/4      The Rookie (2002)      "Maybe it’s asking too much, but if a movie is truly going to inspire me, I want a little more than this." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       4/4      The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)      "If the dysfunctional family is a distinctly American pop-culture cornerstone, Anderson has created a small opus of the American family." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       3/4      The Rules of Attraction (2002)      "As depressing as it sounds, it still makes for compelling, occasionally disturbing entertainment." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       2/4      Runaway Jury (2003)      "Never boring but continuously frustrating." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       2.5/4      The Rundown (2003)      "Within the context of the script's gradual decline, The Rundown's faults narrowly outweigh its virtues." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       1.5/4      Running Scared (2006)      "The movie doesn't so much wallow in the abhorrent side of humanity as it showers, bathes, and dresses in it before heading off to work at MTV." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       2/4      Rush Hour 2 (2001)      "The action scenes are still good, but the comedy itself is very slight." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies       2/4      Rush Hour 3 (2007)      "Just more redundant, cookie-cutter formula." [movie review]      Mark Reviews Movies
