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
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.

Following (1998) Andy Klein
Posted Aug 13, 2004
Save the Last Dance (2001) Susannah Breslin A Teen Dance Movie you don't have to remove your brain or be obsessed with getting-down to actually like.
Posted Jan 12, 2001
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
Antitrust (2001) Andy Klein A huge amount of fun -- the Showgirls of cyberthrillers -- entertaining in ways its creators never intended.
Posted Jan 12, 2001
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
Traffic (2000) Andy Klein It's two-thirds of a terrific movie.
Posted Dec 27, 2000
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
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
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
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
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
The Family Man (2000) Susannah Breslin [The] playfully woven combination of cool comedy and realistic romance provides audiences across the board with one of the few films this season that is likely to entertain almost everyone.
Posted Dec 22, 2000
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
Miss Congeniality (2000) Susannah Breslin Gracie isn't just unattractive outside, she's unattractive on the inside, and the whole point of Makeover Movies is you're supposed to want to identify with Cinderella.
Posted Dec 22, 2000
Chocolat (2000) Andy Klein Chocolat will go straight to your heart.
Posted Dec 15, 2000
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
The Emperor's New Groove (2000) Andy Klein Really is pretty hysterical.
Posted Dec 15, 2000
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) Andy Klein A first-rate Chinese action film that can stand with the best.
Posted Dec 08, 2000
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
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
Bring It On (2000) Margueritte Pelissier It brings on jokes, it brings on cheerleading routines, it brings on the love story and does the best that it can do with the material.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
Small Time Crooks (2000) Susannah Breslin A bit slow, a bit been-done, and the bottom line is that Allen in a pair of shorts these days is a little rough on the eyes.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
Beyond the Mat (1999) Chad Damiani For the first time in the history of our sport, a filmmaker has finally had the foresight to focus on the very contradictions that make professional wrestlers so damn interesting.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
High Fidelity (2000) Tom Cappello High Fidelity's hip structure and offbeat characters provide consistent laughs and a good time.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
The Story of Us (1999) Morgan Fouch Boring.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
I Got the Hook-Up (1998) Andy Jones Personally, I found it in the same league as Clerks, and people call Kevin Smith a genius.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
Shanghai Noon (2000) Susannah Breslin Sit back and enjoy the laughs, the violence, and the urine jokes.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
Coyote Ugly (2000) Susannah Breslin Before the opening credits are even done rolling, Coyote Ugly establishes early on how bad it.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
Sleepy Hollow (1999) Christopher Brandon Sleepy Hollow can be fun, usually whenever the Headless Horseman shows up for swordplay that's better than anything in The Phantom Menace.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
Road Trip (2000) J. Rentilly What Road Trip's filmmakers forget is that even gross-out humor needs a soul.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
Frequency (2000) Don Kaye Frequency is just about as involving and humane as a fantasy thriller can get.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
Remember the Titans (2000) Susannah Breslin It can't help but seem like a somewhat sad day in film when mediocrity starts to look and feel good.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
Bamboozled (2000) Andy Klein Whereas Do the Right Thing left audiences stimulated, at the end of Bamboozled we feel exhausted and confused.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
Gladiator (2000) J. Rentilly What elevates Gladiator to the near-greatness it occasionally achieves is the performance of Russell Crowe as Maximus.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
Saving Grace (2000) Susannah Breslin It's a feel-good British movie ideal for gangs of middle-aged, middle-minded women on bored afternoons, and toxically saccharine to anyone else.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
Keeping the Faith (2000) Graham Verdon The movie slides by nicely, giving us larger-than-life characters navigating through ridiculous situations toward the mandatory happy ending. What more can we ask from a romantic comedy?
Posted Jan 01, 2000
The Best Man (1999) A. Scott Walton This film oversimplifies the concept of unrequited love, and over-romanticizes the notion of everlasting love.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) Spencer H. Abbott Jim Jarmusch is perhaps the only director who could pull off a film that mixes excerpts from the text of Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai with Mafioso entanglements, and hip-hop street knowledgry.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
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
Little Nicky (2000) Andy Klein Whatever is good gets drowned out by the nasty tone that oozes from much of the humor.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
Fight Club (1999) Graham Verdon Crafted with great passion and wit.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) J. Rentilly Rocky & Bullwinkle is the new millennium's Howard the Duck.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
What's Cooking? (2000) Susannah Breslin Many of the ingredients in this movie melting-pot quickly become so sweet as to spoil the soup.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
Best in Show (2000) Andy Klein One of Best in Show's great triumphs is its remarkable generosity of spirit.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
Dogma (1999) Christopher Brandon Constantly fascinates.
