    Stardom
    Through a messy series of news reports, interviews, talk shows, and behind-the-scenes footage, Arcand creates a cinema vérité spoof that's not nearly as penetrating or enjoyable as he thinks.

    The Little Vampire
    A generally likeable cast atones for the underwritten script with fine comic spirit.

    102 Dalmatians
    A film without mirth or magic.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 40 Larry Terenzi
    Beautiful Creatures
    The only constant is the violence, which assaults rather than amuses.

    The Mummy Returns
    What matters is that the movie's a blast, right up until its protracted climax.

    Urbania
    An ambitious film, nearly an exploitative one, but its lingering effects are positive.
    • 71 Metascore

    The Pledge
    Works best as a mood piece — the mood, however, is grim.

    Planet of the Apes
    The most disappointing aspect of Planet of the Apes is that, despite its presentation, the film is so very ordinary, without urgency or revelation.

    Enemy at the Gates
    Marred by an unconvincing love triangle and an insincere dénouement, it's a story that nonetheless resonates as much as "Saving Private Ryan does."

    Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles
    Wincer keeps the insubstantial story moving and the comedy light.

    The Replacements
    An agreeably and unapologetically lightweight late-summer blockbuster.
    • 26 Metascore
    • 33 Larry Terenzi
    Shadow Hours
    Without any momentum and lacking both depth and interesting characters, Shadow Hours makes sin seem pretty damn boring.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 70 Larry Terenzi
    15 Minutes
    Boasts a fine cast and makes enough cogent points that it rises above standard cop fare.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 86 Larry Terenzi
    The Legend of Drunken Master
    Massively entertaining.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 70 Larry Terenzi
    The 6th Day
    A clever but routine science fiction flick.
    • 21 Metascore
    • 40 Larry Terenzi
    3000 Miles to Graceland
    Vapid, humorless, screeching, and utterly suckworthy.

    • 73 Metascore

    Space Cowboys
    He's (Eastwood) made a mature film that bests nearly all of the summer's highly touted blockbusters for pure escapism.
    • 35 Metascore

    Gone in Sixty Seconds
    What does it say that we have a closer relationship with the car than with the characters? It says Bruckheimer.

    Down to Earth
    The selling out of Chris Rock -- or Down to Earth, as he's chosen to call it -- is a sad, sad thing.

    Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back!
    First the TV show, then the video games, the playing cards, the books, the clothes, and now the movie -- the dreaded movie.

    Pokémon: The Movie 2000
    Kids deserve better than this. They deserve more respect than P2K is willing to give for the price of a Saturday matinee.

    Whipped
    Whipped is cinematic suicide, if not for actor, then certainly for audience.
    • 30 Metascore
    • 29 Larry Terenzi
    The Art of War
    Two hours' worth of painful stupidity, overt racism, and mind-battering noise and movement.
    • Mr. Showbiz
    • 62 Metascore
    • 74 Larry Terenzi
    Unbreakable
    Seems truncated, incomplete -- mostly because the patented Shyamalan twist is revealed in the dénouement, not the climax.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Larry Terenzi
    All the Pretty Horses
    A botched effort. Not necessarily bad, but hardly compelling either.

    Remember the Titans
    Ultimately nothing more than a live-action cartoon. A high-minded, inspiring cartoon, but a cartoon nonetheless.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 40 Larry Terenzi
    Bait
    Even Foxx's lively comedy is lost in the noise.
    • Mr. Showbiz
    • 48 Metascore
    • 69 Larry Terenzi
    Vertical Limit
    A shell of a film. It's a stripped-down and blown-out thriller than can only be measured by the sum of its action sequences.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 40 Larry Terenzi
    What's the Worst That Could Happen?
    Struggles for any kind of movement and cohesion -- and most of all for any kind of humor.
    • Mr. Showbiz
    • 29 Metascore
    • 10 Larry Terenzi
    Driven
    A slick, simplistic, and laughable effort that's reminiscent of a bad Jerry Bruckheimer film. A really bad Bruckheimer film.
