     (2004)      "Rick Springfield was a punch line by ’83; Michael Jackson was in his “Bad” phase in 1987. No wonder Jenna’s such a dork – her MTV is five years behind everyone else’s. " [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
B+
     (2002)      "While the movie could be recommended to anyone, raiding a wallet for more than the DVD rental price is advised only to hardcore fans of the Manchester sound." [dvd review]      The Big Picture

B+
     (2002)      "Despite all of Kaufman's rage, he's still just a rat in a cage. But at least he's raging." [movie review]      Countingdown.com   
  
F
     (2004)      "Cody Banks 2 is everything you fear in a sequel and more." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
B+
     (2001)      "A gut-wrenching, unpredictable and gleeful romp through experimental television, Lost cranks up the adrenaline early and keeps it flowing throughout its premiere episode." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
B
     (2002)      "You could say that it's slow at times, you could say that a few of the characters act in ways that real people wouldn't, but one thing you couldn't say is that Alias Betty is predictable." [movie review]      Countingdown.com   
  
C+
     (2004)      "It's Stiller who seems to take the biggest hit, revealing the fact that his career has entered a stale state of self-parody." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
B+
     (2004)      "We watch movies every day that celebrate violence, sex, and crude humor. Now, here’s the chance to watch a movie that powerfully presents something worth celebrating: us." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
C
     (2003)      "When a film series starts ripping off Jerry Van Dyke sitcoms, that's a good sign it's time to throw in the towel." [movie review]      Countingdown.com   
  
C-

C
     (2002)      "It's like Kenny Rogers said, "You've got to know when to walk away"." [movie review]      Countingdown.com   
  
C+
     (2003)      "Only the third hour of Sunday’s highly anticipated HBO miniseries opener is heaven sent, setting the stage for next weekend’s Part 2." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
C+
     (2003)      "Although it opens with perhaps the most sensual depiction of gay male attraction ever presented in a mainstream film, Part 2 fails to soar." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
B
     (2003)      "Nicholson and Sandler play exceptionally well off each other" [movie review]      Countingdown.com   
  
A-
     (2003)      "The best shorts in the bunch result in an orgiastic feast for the senses; the worst of them merely manage to entertain you." [dvd review]      The Big Picture   
  
A-

D+

B+
     (2002)      "Like the original Friday, this movie is overflowing with outrageous characters that will make you smile. Just watching them interact is worth the price of admission." [movie review]      Countingdown.com   
  
B

B-
     (2003)      "If you can give a movie credit for at least attempting to be intelligent, then you'll appreciate John McTiernan's writhing, raging, overly eager-to-please Basic." [movie review]      Countingdown.com   
  
A
     (2001)      "The best action film of the year." [movie review]      Countingdown.com

B-
     (2002)      "As viewers leave the theater, they may end up asking themselves a question which it wasn't attempting to elicit: Does knowing this much about a great musical talent help or hinder your ability to like the music?" [movie review]      Countingdown.com   
  
B-
     (2004)      "The artist formerly known as Keyser Soze reminds us with every classic high note in the titular song that we’re listening to a facsimile with a weaker range." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
     (2009)      "Siegel's shots are dirty, his dialogue sharp, and his knack for avoiding cliches is rare; Oswalt's performance is a selfless, measured descent into madness that deserves some sort of award" [movie review]      MTV

B-
     (2002)      "As if trying to grab a lump of Play-Doh, the harder that Liman tries to squeeze his story, the more details slip out between his fingers." [movie review]      Countingdown.com   
  
A+
     (2002)      "This is a movie that you will want to discuss with other people, and that's the sign of a director who has done his job." [movie review]      Countingdown.com   
  
     (2009)      "The most impressive thing about Krasinski's direction is his self-assured ability to know when it's time to mix in visual elements, and when it's best to simply point a camera at a good storyteller and let the actor speak." [movie review]      MTV   
  
D+
     (2003)      "It relies on stolen gags for humor, forced relationships for empathy, and racist jokes for shock value." [movie review]      Countingdown.com   
  
A
     (2002)      "...has better action scenes, a superior love story, and more interesting characters (than "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon")." [movie review]      Countingdown.com   
  
A-

C
     (2003)      "The script seems to have been developed with a desire for the bare minimum, and that work ethic has been passed on to the editing, special effects and fight choreography departments as well." [movie review]      Countingdown.com   
  
D+
     (2003)      "Thanks to a lack of innovation and a tired script, writer/director Hamlet Sarkissian is about as cutting edge as the out-of-touch friend who keeps trying to tell you that Michael Jackson's latest albums are as good as his old stuff." [movie review]      FilmStew.com   
  
A-
     (1942)      "Casablanca is the script that every screenwriter should have in mind when sitting down in front of a blank page and trying to craft perfection." [dvd review]      The Big Picture
