Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       B-      The 13th Floor (1999)      "Seamless integration of digital effects and effective use of color within the dark, typically noir composition" [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       C+      The 13th Warrior (1999)      "The actors keep the film from becoming too stupid" [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       A-      21 Grams (2003)      "The actors are magnificent. They unequivocally know who their characters are, inhabiting them so completely that you cease to remember these are actually actors, even stars." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B      28 Days Later (2003)      "Yes, the rage-afflicted zombie substitutes are scary. But 28 DAYS LATER is even more frightening for what human beings end up doing to one another." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B+      About a Boy (2002)      "It seems Grant doesn't need the floppy hair and the self-deprecating stammers after all."

[movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B+      Alien Resurrection (1997)      "Not the best Alien film, but unquestionably the most thematically ambitious" [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       A      Aliens (1986)      "Scott's tension-building atmospherics are replaced by Cameron's high-octane punch." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       A      American History X (1998)      "For Director Tony Kaye to disown this is irrational beyond belief" [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B+      American Splendor (2003)      "a remarkable amalgamation of the real and the fictionalized" [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B      Anna and the King (1999)      "the sort of film that would have contended for a Best Picture Oscar in the mid-80s and handily won in the early 60s" [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B+      The Anniversary Party (2001)      "How do people with perfect lives find ways to live them so imperfectly, you might wonder? "The Anniversary Party" shows us, making us laugh and understand at the same time." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B      Anything Else (2003)      "Allen just does what he does, and he does it very well." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       A-      The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004)      "Few things are as exciting as watching a great actor successfully turn off the star wattage and don the skin of an utterly weak, insignificant person." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B-      Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)      "delivers the action movie goods [thanks to] adroit pacing...[and] a cast of extremely capable actors." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B+      Auto Focus (2002)      "Instead of hitting the audience over the head with a moral, Schrader relies on subtle ironies and visual devices to convey point of view." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       A      The Aviator (2004)      "THE AVIATOR is almost impossibly fertile and rich, but always Scorsese marshals his resources to get inside Hughes' head." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B-      Babe: Pig in the City (1998)      "Most definitely not a movie for young children" [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B      Bad Education (2004)      "Almodóvar films don't unfold so much as they unpeel." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B      The Ballad of Jack and Rose (2005)      "Jack's realizations, particularly vis-ŕ-vis his daughter, offer rich dramatic possibilities." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B-      Behind Enemy Lines (2001)      "derivative, but it ain't dull" [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       A-      The Big Sleep (1946)      "Bogart and Bacall are so good together that the story's impenetrability doesn't matter much, as long as it keeps serving up suspenseful situations and sassy dialogue." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B      Black Hawk Down (2001)      "beautiful and harrowing, but, curiously, does not resonate" [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       A+      Blade Runner - The Director's Cut (1982)      "A genre-defining science-fiction thriller with echoes of old-fashioned film noir" [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       A      Boys Don't Cry (1999)      "Raw, unvarnished power" [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B+      Bread and Tulips (2001)      "Though there's no denying that Bread and Tulips is just a feel-good movie, it is a delightfully executed, simple, and unassuming film..." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B+      Brokeback Mountain (2005)      "An introspective film, but not, thankfully, an inert film. " [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B      The Brotherhood of the Wolf (2002)      "What a ridiculous film this is. What a brazenly, aggressively, stupendously ridiculous film!" [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B+      Capturing the Friedmans (2003)      "The film is an examination of the complexity of characters and behaviors that we would prefer to explain simply, the slippery nature of memory, and the elusiveness of objective truth." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B-      Cast Away (2000)      "An interesting and courageous experiment....[but] risk-taking in itself does not guarantee a great film" [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B      Catch Me If You Can (2002)      "The most memorable element of this not-that-memorable film, however, is not Hanks or Walken, or any of the other irreproachable component parts. It is the roguish lead actor, Leonardo DiCaprio." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B-      The Cell (2000)      "Doesn't escape the prison of its uninspired story, but the impressive visuals often make you think it does." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B-      The Center of the World (2001)      "an occasionally titillating but ultimately grim depiction of one man's attempt to give reality to his sexual fantasies" [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B+      Chicken Run (2000)      "An animated farce with... uproarious action" [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B      Collateral (2004)      "The story is gripping and the stakes are high... until the ridiculous coincidence.

[Includes cast and director interviews]" [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B-      The Constant Gardener (2005)      "Meirelles isn't interested in either character or suspense. He's interested in political issues and the scenery." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B      The Contender (2000)      "The Contender eventually reaches too far... but it is still a solidly entertaining, even thought-provoking film." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B+      Cronicas (2005)      "a gritty story about a reporter who gets carried away by his ego while he believes he is pursuing the greater good" [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B      Croupier (1998)      "An alternate and superior British version of Rounders with elements of Reindeer Games and hilariously unnecessary voiceover narration thrown in." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B-      Dark Blue (2003)      "Sandwiched between the crude exposition and overcooked ending, some interesting things occur." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B      The Devil's Rejects (2005)      "In the genre of low-budget hillbilly slasher movies, it's a masterpiece." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B-      Die Another Day (2002)      "[The digital effects] reminded me of Terry Gilliam's rudimentary old Monty Python cartoons, in which he would cut out figures from drawings and photographs and paste them together." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B      Dirty Pretty Things (2003)      "Dirty Pretty Things is a movie with Things to Say on an Important Issue...but one whose political intentions have not overpowered its quietly gripping story." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B      District B13 (2006)      "Besson's script may be formulaic crap, but he obviously still has an eye for fresh action talent, and an instinct for how to show it off." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B+      The Door in the Floor (2004)      "Bridges, a consistently under-appreciated actor, does arguably the best work of his career..." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B      Down and Out with the Dolls (2003)      "Ambitious egomaniacs and drug-addled losers, jealousy and infidelity, exploitative *******s everywhere you turn, and stoner drummers who just want to rock--the underground music scene is the same anywhere in the USA." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       A      Downfall (2005)      "You feel privy to mysterious secrets and a monumental unraveling... It's impossible to look away." [movie review]      AboutFilm.com       B+      Elephant (2003)      "People will pillory Van Sant for not taking a position on the causes of Columbine, but simply by showing an accurate depiction of a suburban high school, perhaps he is."
