"What raises this venture a few notches above your normal acne fare is an extremely clever screenplay" |
Brandon Judell |
|
 |
3 Ninjas - High Noon at Mega Mountain (1998) |
"Abrasively loud, gratingly acted, appallingly directed and without a moral core, this "3 Ninjas" also boasts a screenplay with the most "Unhhhs" of the decade, that exquisite sound you make when trying to anihilate another human with your foot or a karate" |
Brandon Judell |
|
|
|
Angela's Ashes (1999) |

"one of the most calculating films of all of this year’s blockbusters." |
Brandon Judell |
|
|
|
The Bachelor (1999) |
"The script is so baldly predictable and bereft of comic dialogue that it makes the situation comedy more annoying than funny." |
Carl Arrington |
|
|
|
Being John Malkovich (1999) |
"Being John Malkovich is a crazy and wonderful new comedy." |
Carl Arrington |
|
|

|
|
|
|
Body Art (2001) |
"A documentary with scintillating content about how societies around the world use their bodies as an art form. One African tribe even elongates their skulls, which looks chic, but I'm not sure what it does for their brains." |
Brandon Judell |
|
|
|
Bowfinger (1999) |
"Murphy's slapstick performance as both klutz and crazy action hero make for his best work since The Nutty Professor." |

Carl Arrington |
|
|
|
The Butcher Boy (1997) |
"The film almost immediately loses the major asset of the novel: its language. Possibly a quarter of the movie is incomprehensible to the American ear." |

Brandon Judell |
|
|
|
The Cider House Rules (1999) |
"A well-performed but often underwhelming melodrama." |
|
|
|
|
City of Lost Souls (1982) |
"City of Lost Souls explores anti-Semitism and racism in post-War Germany with an in-your-face approach." |
Brandon Judell |
|
|
|
Deep Impact (1998) |
"The joy of any catastrophe flick is watching the world that annoys you so much get its due." |
Brandon Judell |
|
|
|
Dick (1999) |
"What makes Dick an almost perfect teenage comedy is that all of the adults and authority figures are shown as being dufus, skanky, shifty, slothful, nasty or stupid." |
|
|
|
|
Dr. Dolittle (1998) |
"Why are creatures commenting here on copulation and what are anal thermometers doing being swallowed up by canines’ rears in a kids’ picture?" |
Brandon Judell |
|
|
|
Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) |
"Drop Dead Gorgeous is drop-decorum funny!" |
Carl Arrington |

Carl Arrington |
|

Hav Plenty (1997) |
"Ah, love! Ah, black stereotypes! Why is it so hard to portray the black middle-class and the rich with any dignity?" |

|
|
|
The Insider (1999) |
"Taut and brilliantly crafted." |
Carl Arrington |
|
|
|
Inspector Gadget (1999) |

Carl Arrington |
|
|
|
Jakob the Liar (1999) |
"Jakob has a marvelous ensemble cast that acts with grace, mirth and the dignity the subject demands." |
Carl Arrington |
|
|
|
Knocked Up (2007) |
"There's no doubt director/writer Apatow is supplying a national service by allowing the inept to feel adequate about themselves." |
Brandon Judell |
|
|
|
Lake Placid (1999) |
"Has some camp and comedic aspirations, but fails at all of them." |
Carl Arrington |
|
|
|
Magnolia (1999) |

Erika Milvy |
|

"Un-involving." |
Jason Kaufman |
|
|
|
Random Hearts (1999) |
"The film's chief problem is that the unwinding of the romance between Kay and Dutch is so gradual -- and often furtive." |
Carl Arrington |
|
|
|
Runaway Bride (1999) |
"Runaway Bride is long on amiability, but short on comedy and way short on intriguing romance!" |
Carl Arrington |
|
|
|
Shallow Grave (1987) |
"Recall those early British comedies that all seemed to star Rita Tushingham. Well, attach the 1st half of one of those to the 2nd half of a Hitchcock chiller, and you have an enjoyable film that'll have you digging your fingernails deeply into your nachos" |
Brandon Judell |
|
|
|

Carl Arrington |
|
|
|
