2.5/5
Iron Man 3 (2013)
[Shane] Black is the reason for the season and Downey is his Santa Claus

2.5/5
The Place Beyond The Pines (2013)
...promising way more than it can ever hope to deliver in what suddenly seems like a too-short two-and-half-hours.

Parental Guidance (2012)

1.5/5
Jack the Giant Slayer (2013)

Gosford Park (2001)
It's dryly, acidly funny.

Black Hawk Down (2001)
Scott's tendency to trumpet his own significance keeps it from greatness, but it's still better than jingoistic stuff like Behind Enemy Lines.

I Am Sam (2001)
I do not like Sean Penn as a ham, I do not like it, Sam I Am.

The Shipping News (2001)
Good-looking but weak movie that, while not hamming it up to hijack your affection, doesn't try to win you over with anything more than its own sense of importance.

9
Happenstance (2000)
It's silly and slight, but not too sweet, so go take a chance.

Charlotte Gray (2002)
11
Dark Blue World (2001)
Good-looking and earnest, but a little too stiff to make you feel the grand-scale emotions it wants to inspire.

Monster's Ball (2002)
The fact that the film spares us not only a constant wallow in misery but also cheap, maudlin uplift is pretty miraculous.
Posted Dec 27, 2001
13
No Man's Land (2001)
The absurdity of it is diluted by the metaphorical sledgehammer used to smash the antiwar message home.
Posted Dec 21, 2001
14
A Beautiful Mind (2001)
Russell Crowe's sweating and facial tics are always entertaining, but Ron Howard never lets you enjoy them, so busy is he directing everyone into a state of uplifting bliss.

Ali (2001)
It's just a good movie and not the greatest.
Posted Dec 21, 2001
16
The Majestic (2001)
So, you're going along with your life as a rich Hollywood screenwriter, and BAM! You get amnesia. Ain't that the way it always goes?

How High (2001)

Jimmy Neutron - Boy Genius (2001)
Thanks to Nickelodeon, this is another addition to their great track record of imaginative, child-friendly movies.

Joe Somebody (2001)
Stupid every step of the way.

A fully-realized epic.

Vanilla Sky (2001)
I barely bought a word of it as it was.
Posted Dec 13, 2001
22
The Royal Tenenbaums (2002)
I may eat these words down the road, but right now, Wes Anderson is one of the best new American directors we have.
Posted Dec 13, 2001

Lantana (2002)
Implausible tale.
Posted Dec 13, 2001
24
Iris (2001)
Especially moving because it downplays the weepy nonsense, focusing instead on her literary spiritedness and the steadfast love of her husband.
Posted Dec 13, 2001
25
Behind the Sun (2001)
It's a fine movie, but it's not quite dynamic enough to earn much more than your respect.
Posted Dec 13, 2001
26
Explores race issues without insulting your intelligence.
Posted Dec 7, 2001
27
Princesa (2001)
Deliberately non-gritty but still humane and loving in its depiction of people who don't fit into traditional categories of male/female and whore/john.
Posted Dec 7, 2001
28
Last Orders (2002)
The sentimental script has problems, but the actors pick up the slack.
Posted Dec 7, 2001

Baran (2002)
You Should Pay Nine Bucks for This: Because you can hear about suffering Afghan refugees on the news and still be unaffected. Dramas like this make it human.

Ocean's Eleven (2001)
Completely preposterous and totally enjoyable.

Piñero (2002)
32
The Business of Strangers (2001)
33
Texas Rangers (2001)
Makes American Outlaws look like a John Ford picture.

It's refreshing to see a porn documentary that's not a total bummer, cautionary tale.
Posted Nov 29, 2001
35
Diamond Men (2001)
It's a nice little movie about the friendship of two regular Joes, odd and affecting.
Posted Nov 29, 2001
36
The Affair of the Necklace (2001)
It's all about as elegant as jewelry from a home-shopping channel.
Posted Nov 29, 2001
37
Behind Enemy Lines (2001)
Calibrate your filter, sift through the stuff you don't like, and you might enjoy yourself.
Posted Nov 29, 2001
38
Second Time Around (2001)
Has all the complexity and realistic human behavior of an episode of General Hospital.
Posted Nov 26, 2001
39
Out Cold (2001)
It sort of sucks, but you'll still secretly have a pretty good time watching it.

Sidewalks of New York (2001)
If I wanted to see Manhattan again, then I'd just stay home and rent it.
Posted Nov 21, 2001
41
In the Bedroom (2001)
This one delivers the goods, thanks to nice, low-wattage direction and non-showy performances.
Posted Nov 20, 2001
42
Black Knight (2001)
Words cannot adequately describe the pain. It will make you long for the subtlety and wit of Big Momma's House.
Posted Nov 20, 2001
43
Spy Game (2001)
This movie is about guys sitting around in meetings, trying to out-spy each other.
Posted Nov 20, 2001

Dead or Alive: Hanzaisha (1999)
Yeah, Yeah, It's Gross, But Is It Good? For its sheer inventiveness and audacity, yes.
Posted Nov 16, 2001
45
Audition (Ôdishon) (1999)
A total freakout that will slow-burn itself into your brain. Prepare to feel creepy.
Posted Nov 16, 2001
46
The Simian Line (2000)
In the end it's simply weak.
Posted Nov 16, 2001

Yana's Friends (2001)
You aren't separated from these people even if they do live thousands of miles away.
Posted Nov 16, 2001

The Fluffer (2003)
It's smarter more often than it's dumb, and gosh darn it, Debbie Harry's in it!

Novocaine (2001)
Date Movie? You'd have to love Steve Martin more than your date to enjoy this.
