Napoleon Dynamite (2004) 72% 1.5/4 EDIT “The most disappointing thing about "Napoleon Dynamite" is that it chooses to make its lead character the butt of its jokes” – Zap2it.com Jun 30, 2004 Full Review A Slipping-Down Life (1999) 27% 3/4 EDIT “The real joy of the film is watching Taylor and Pearce play off each other, creating their characters' unique relationship...” – Zap2it.com May 20, 2004 Full Review Coffee and Cigarettes (2003) 63% 2.5 EDIT “At best, an interesting idea that seems to get lost in the cigarette smoke” – Zap2it.com May 14, 2004 Full Review Along Came Polly (2004) 27% 1.5/4 EDIT “Ben Stiller is either a member of Dysfunctions R Us, or else he's making a plea to be the next Woody Allen -- but even Allen himself couldn't save "Along Came Polly"” – Zap2it.com May 12, 2004 Full Review The Punisher (2004) 30% 2/4 EDIT “True to its name, "The Punisher" is indeed a punishing experience...” – Zap2it.com May 12, 2004 Full Review Laws of Attraction (2004) 18% 1/4 EDIT “So completely separated from any sense of reality that one ends up gnashing their teeth in frustration while trying to stomach the sickeningly sweet premise” – Zap2it.com May 12, 2004 Full Review Van Helsing (2004) 24% 1.5/4 EDIT “Despite the problems with tone, and the awkwardness that comes from it, "Van Helsing" won't bore audiences” – Zap2it.com May 12, 2004 Full Review Troy (2004) 53% 2.5/4 EDIT “Petersen has made "Troy" in the image of a Trojan horse -- immense and impressive at first glance, but empty on the inside” – Zap2it.com May 12, 2004 Full Review World Traveler (2001) 35% 3/4 EDIT “The subtlety of how the story is told is beautifully done” – Zap2it.com Feb 24, 2004 Full Review Whale Rider (2002) 91% 3.5/4 EDIT “The key to "Whale Rider's" appeal is that the film doesn't force an opinion upon its viewers” – Zap2it.com Feb 24, 2004 Full Review Big Trouble (2002) 48% 3.5/4 EDIT “The worst thing someone could say about "Big Trouble" is that it's too much like "Get Shorty," which is one of the best reasons to go see the film” – Zap2it.com Feb 24, 2004 Full Review Analyze That (2002) 26% 2.5/4 EDIT “While it's fun to see DeNiro poke fun at the image that he's helped make so famous, the film just doesn't have enough of a storyline to keep your interest” – Zap2it.com Feb 24, 2004 Full Review Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) 85% 2.5/4 EDIT “Just to be clear, "Master and Commander" is not a homosexual love story, or at least it's not intended to be...” – Zap2it.com Nov 20, 2003 Full Review 21 Grams (2003) 80% 3.5/4 EDIT “"21 Grams" forces the audience to participate, but you will be well rewarded if you do” – Zap2it.com Nov 20, 2003 Full Review Rashomon (1950) 98% 5/5 EDIT “An ultimate classic that changed how films were told forever. By telling the story from each character's point of view, "Rashamon" explored how narrative can be biased, and how one person's story is never the whole tale. I highly recommend this film.” – Zap2it.com Nov 6, 2003 Full Review The Matrix Revolutions (2003) 33% 2/4 EDIT “The two sequels to "The Matrix," have been a complete let down, leading me to wish that the Wachowski brothers had stopped while they were ahead” – Zap2it.com Nov 6, 2003 Full Review Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) 62% 2.5/4 EDIT “While the plot sounds a bit schmaltzy, Lane's performance keeps Francesca real...” – Zap2it.com Sep 30, 2003 Full Review The Rundown (2003) 69% 3/4 EDIT “With a summer as full of action movies as this one, you wouldn't think there'd be room for one more, yet "The Rundown" manages to keep an air of freshness without doing anything terribly new.” – Zap2it.com Sep 30, 2003 Full Review Matchstick Men (2003) 82% 3/4 EDIT “The art of a great con is that the victim never sees it coming. This is where "Matchstick Men" falls flat on its face.” – Zap2it.com Sep 30, 2003 Full Review Lost in Translation (2003) 95% 4/4 EDIT “Bob and Charlotte's relationship in particular is exquisitely portrayed; a sort of platonic romance, it's a relationship that exists because of the things that aren't said between them just as much as the things that are” – Zap2it.com Sep 30, 2003 Full Review The Medallion (2003) 17% 1/4 EDIT “Jackie Chan has finally become a God, sadly it's only in this dud of a film.” – Zap2it.com Aug 22, 2003 Full Review American Splendor (2003) 94% 4/4 EDIT “Giamatti gives an outstanding performance as the alienated Pekar, glaring at the world around him often in complete frustration at its contrivances and stupidities” – Zap2it.com Aug 15, 2003 Full Review Seabiscuit (2003) 77% 3.5/4 EDIT “The film celebrates old-time American value, such as loyalty, honestly, perseverance. Sure it's about winning, but winning the right way.” – Zap2it.com Aug 8, 2003 Full Review Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) 24% 1/4 EDIT “I wish I could say that even though the film was predictable and the plot egregiously insipid, that I still managed to get lost while watching the movie and had fun. If only.” – Zap2it.com Aug 8, 2003 Full Review S.W.A.T. (2003) 48% 2.5/4 EDIT “"S.W.A.T." is exactly what it promises to be; a fun summer movie that doesn't leave you shaking your head in regret afterwards. Besides, a man in uniform is always a good thing, right?” – Zap2it.com Aug 8, 2003 Full Review
