Publish Date: October 4, 2002"The concert remains more of an historical curiosity than a must-see rock film (...) Rating: **1/2 (out of 4)"
-
Jawbreaker (1999)"Jawbreaker breaks ground in one way. The movie is notably unpleasant, not just because it's morally offensive, but because it strives for this arch, artificial John Waters tone without any accompanying pay-off in wit"
-
Ginger Snaps 2 (2004)"'If Ginger Snaps II: Unleashed' feels a bit scattered and the humour self-congratulatory, at least the performances never flag."
-
The Year One (2009)"Perhaps the best that can be said for Year One is that it aims low and hits the mark"
-
Dance With Me (1998)"Although the movie bubbles occasionally, it never boils."
-
Hoodlum (1997)"Duke rarely operates at more than a TV movie-of-the-week level of originality, but Hoodlum is still an easy movie to enjoy."
-
Waiting to Exhale (1995)"Never escapes the queasy aura of 'Melrose Place': just another story about beautiful people with small problems."
-
Queen of the Damned (2002)"When 'Queen of the Damned' knows it's ridiculous, it's moderately entertaining fun; when it tries to be serious, it's truly ridiculous"
-
The Trigger Effect (1996)"David Koepp shows a talent for presenting neat sequences, but they fail to come together in a satisfying whole"
-
The Brady Bunch Movie (1995)"There's a risk of taking The Brady Bunch too seriously but, please, let's not think of it as funny, then or now."
-
The Indian in the Cupboard (1995)"The Indian in the Cupboard unfolds with absorbing logic to tell a tale in the best of children's story tradition"
-
Death to Smoochy (2002)"Sporadically funny, twisted for sure, it risks becoming as repetitive and shrill as the kinds of programs it satirizes"
-
Fear Dot Com (2002)"The movie's progression into rambling incoherence gives new meaning to the phrase 'fatal script error'."
-
Beloved (1998)2Jonathan Demme's potent adaptation of Morrison's novel may be substantial, but it is also engrossing, a movie that plays at times like a combination of 'Gone With The Wind”'and 'The Exorcist.'"
-
Happy Together (1997)"Wong returns once more to what he seems to know best - the visual poetry of the urban Asian night, a world of characters on the move, coming and going, never really getting anywhere."
-
My Favorite Martian (1998)"My Favorite Martian is so empty that it makes the original TV show look like a lost work from George Bernard Shaw."
-
Freeway (1996)"Cynical, stylish and witty"
-
Turistas (Paradise Lost) (2006)"A cheap survivalist copy of the television series Lost."
-
Infernal Affairs (2002)"Here is a psychological twister with an implausible and hard-to-follow plot. All of this is more than compensated for by terrific performances (...) and a minimalist style reminiscent of Michael Mann"
