J. Rentilly 90
Confirms its place as one of the best first films in recent memory, and one of this year's very best films. -

J. Rentilly 85
One of this year's most dazzling entertainments, not to mention one of the best comic-book movies ever made. -

-
J. Rentilly 80
The journey -- long, dark, pungent, and twisted as it is -- is well worth the taking. -
-
-
J. Rentilly 70
It is ultimately the film's reliance on this thumping action assault that keeps it from true summer-movie greatness. -

J. Rentilly 70
What elevates Gladiator to the near-greatness it occasionally achieves is the performance of Russell Crowe as Maximus. -
-
-
J. Rentilly 70
Only so much (pop)cornball tubthumping, a sweeping, occasionally stirring, always gorgeous bit of action-figure history. -

J. Rentilly 60
The Big Kahuna -- for its superb performances -- wants to be too much, but is about too little, working better as a series of fine monologues than as a cohesive story, the film's makers trapped somewhere between potential and reality, deal unclosed. -
-
-
J. Rentilly 60
The film becomes so much urgent nonsense, its killing spree neither cheaply thrilling nor even more cheaply cathartic. It's only gory. -

-
J. Rentilly 50
A must-see movie, simply for its awe-inspiring production values, but you'll feel nothing but punished by Tarsem's ghoulish parade of images. -
-
-
J. Rentilly 50
What distinguishes The Watcher from all the films it consciously or unconsciously emulates is the intermittently witty, offbeat writing of debuting screenwriter David Elliot. -
-
-
J. Rentilly 40
Pop junk, an airport paperback, literally, turned into a mid-budget devil thriller. -
-
-
J. Rentilly 30
Although Steal This Movie isn't worth the price of admission, it is worth sneaking in to see D'Onofrio and Garofalo's splendid performances. -
-
-
J. Rentilly 30
Does boast, as a major plot point, a dog's bowel movement. And things do go 'boom!' quite spectacularly and frequently enough to distract from the truth that there is virtually nothing going on in this whole movie that Nintendo hasn't done better. -

-
J. Rentilly 25
Reddin's script lacks the sophistication that might make the film's message about guns more than a 90-minute public service announcement with a good cast. -
-
-
-
-
J. Rentilly 15
A frenetic, aggressively unfunny one-joke merging of "Beverly Hills Cop" and "Tootsie." -
-
-
-
J. Rentilly 10
The only danger in seeing this film is in busting a gut at its unintentional hilarity. -
-
-
J. Rentilly 5
A cinematic lowpoint, even within its decidedly lowbrow genre, the teen gross-out sex romp. -
-

-

Endgame has become a nincompoop's travelogue, drenched in stage blood, fake beards, and crappy special effects. -
-

Rocky & Bullwinkle is the new millennium's "Howard the Duck." -
