The Matrix (1999) Christopher Brandon A cyberpunk thriller that's so much fun to watch, it could single-handedly reboot the genre.

What Maisie Knew (2012) David Poland
Posted May 01, 2013  Edit critic review
X-Men: First Class (2011) David Poland Take the superpowers out and you have a pretty good foundation for a Bond or Mission:Impossible. And that's a pretty revolutionary idea for the comic book niche.

Double Take (2001) Andy Klein A witless, derivative buddy comedy that squanders whatever talent was unlucky enough to be drawn into its doom-bound gravitational pull.
Posted Jan 12, 2001  Edit critic review
Antitrust (2001) Andy Klein A huge amount of fun -- the Showgirls of cyberthrillers -- entertaining in ways its creators never intended.
Posted Jan 12, 2001  Edit critic review
Shadow of the Vampire (2000) Andy Klein The performances and the basic strength of the premise make Shadow of the Vampire a relatively diverting ninety minutes.
Posted Dec 29, 2000  Edit critic review
Traffic (2000) Andy Klein It's two-thirds of a terrific movie.
Posted Dec 27, 2000  Edit critic review
An Everlasting Piece (2000) Andy Klein There is nothing worse than forced whimsy and this is forced whimsy at its worst.
Posted Dec 26, 2000  Edit critic review
State and Main (2000) Andy Klein There is enough funny stuff here to make State and Main passably entertaining, despite its complete predictability.
Posted Dec 24, 2000  Edit critic review
The Gift (2000) Andy Klein While not precisely the cinematic equivalent of a lump of coal in our collective stocking, this isn't precisely what we wanted.
Posted Dec 22, 2000  Edit critic review
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) Andy Klein This is by no means one of the Coens' best, but it's a reasonably entertaining little exercise in a manner of screwball comedy that is sadly rare these days.
Posted Dec 22, 2000  Edit critic review
State and Main (2000) Susannah Breslin Mamet has his work cut out for him by making egotistical stars and exploitative directors seem funnily new. But State and Main engages nonetheless.
Posted Dec 22, 2000  Edit critic review
Cast Away (2000) Andy Klein Even those who perceived Gump as nothing but a smug affirmation of mealymouthed platitudes, and thus hated it, may well be surprised at the subtleties and emotional depth that Cast Away eventually reaches.
Posted Dec 22, 2000  Edit critic review
Chocolat (2000) Andy Klein Chocolat will go straight to your heart.
Posted Dec 15, 2000  Edit critic review
What Women Want (2000) Susannah Breslin It's as caught up in despising macho men as it is disgusted with modern women.
Posted Dec 15, 2000  Edit critic review
The Emperor's New Groove (2000) Andy Klein Really is pretty hysterical.
Posted Dec 15, 2000  Edit critic review
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) Andy Klein A first-rate Chinese action film that can stand with the best.
Posted Dec 08, 2000  Edit critic review
Proof of Life (2000) Andy Klein It's an effective, often gripping film that is likely to satisfy a broad range of viewers.
Posted Dec 08, 2000  Edit critic review
Dungeons & Dragons (2000) Andy Klein Solomon brings absolutely nothing to the party, besides a level of directorial incompetence that one rarely sees in major studio films.
Posted Dec 08, 2000  Edit critic review
Almost Famous (2000) Susannah Breslin Through Crowe's William, we ride along in the middle of a movie world more amazingly multi-layered than what we've seen on film in a long, long time.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
The Hurricane (1999) Morgan Fouch If you aren't compelled to re-examine your conclusions on crime and punishment, then you need to see the film again until you are.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Jawbreaker (1999) Jennifer Nowitzky Stupid and pointless!
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
The Beach (2000) Christopher Brandon The second hour is an incomprehensible mess.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Erin Brockovich (2000) Morgan Fouch The scantily clad wardrobe may be nearly the same as Pretty Woman, but the girl inside has grown in spades.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) Christopher Brandon Star Wars remains a cinematic benchmark and a greater fantasy than its countless imitators of the past 20 years.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Unbreakable (2000) Andy Klein Shyamalan once again shows himself to be an amazing director; but the script for Unbreakable simply doesn't have the complex emotional layers of his last effort.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Dinosaur (2000) Susannah Breslin Dinosaur does exactly what it should: Take the wee ones on a vicarious trip through an adventure both visually terrifying and emotionally thrilling at the same time.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Men of Honor (2000) Susannah Breslin Sort of schlocky sweet in its depiction of what makes the lives of some men better than others.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
My Dog Skip (2000) Bill McLochlin I found it awfully hard to critically dissect this film afterwards, with the tears still fresh on my cheeks.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Lucky Numbers (2000) Andy Klein The jokes simply aren't there; and, while some individual scenes work, the overall pacing is uneven.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000) J. Rentilly For all its mayhem, 60 Seconds delivers precious little rush.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Anywhere but Here (1999) Christopher Brandon Sarandon and Portman have sizzling electricity that makes every funny, touching or sad moment between them seem even more fascinating than the last.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) Andy Klein The main show here is Jim Carrey. And he does a frankly brilliant job.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Center Stage (2000) Susannah Breslin It is so bad, it actually made me realize that life doesn't hold try-outs and I should use my time doing better things than watching Center Stage.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Universal Soldier: The Return (1999) Matt Kelsey What separates this one from all his rest? Not much.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Music of the Heart (1999) Sjohnna McCray What saves this movie from being a Lifetime Channel tour-de-force is, of course, the winning performance by Streep.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Lake Placid (1999) Christopher Brandon Lake Placid is worth paying full admission price alone just to see Golden Girl sweetie Betty White feed a blind-folded cow to the croc and cuss out the feds.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Titan A.E. (2000) Pauline Adamek Highly reminiscent of certain Star Wars sequences, but it redeems itself with a bold and grungy action-adventure flavor.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Bless the Child (2000) J. Rentilly Bless the Child is pop junk, an airport paperback, literally, turned into a mid-budget devil thriller.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Steal This Movie (2000) J. Rentilly Most of Steal This Movie plays with all the historical verity and cheapo sheen of a made-for-VH1 original.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Dancer in the Dark (2000) Andy Klein Is Dancer in the Dark worth the ride? The brutal emotional wringing it visits upon viewers? Despite its flaws, yes.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
The In Crowd (2000) Susannah Breslin A teen screamer with enough implants for the boys and enough bitchiness for the girls to leave its target demographic lusting and screaming happily.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Charlie's Angels (2000) Andy Klein While not a total catastrophe, the film is the leading contender to be this year's Hudson Hawk.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
The Blair Witch Project (1999) Christopher Brandon The hands-over-your-eyes scariest movie released in years!
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) Graham Verdon Packs as many jokes per minute as the original!
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
One True Thing (1998) Jennifer Nowitzky Streep's performance mesmerizes, but it is Zellweger's engrossing portrayal as the selfish daughter that sells her as a serious Hollywood actress.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Bowfinger (1999) M. Meghan McCarthy Bowfinger is a smart and often hysterical film!
