    Snake Eyes
    I can't think of another movie that starts so brilliantly and ends so miserably as this one.
    • 62 Metascore

    The Mask of Zorro
    Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas work with professional skill in a ludicrous vehicle.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Buffalo '66
    Has an authentic rotgut flavor, but here's the question for the future: Will Gallo learn to criticize his own ideas or continue to pride himself on screwing up?
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Two Girls and a Guy
    Two Girls and a Guy isn’t a satisfying movie, but Downey is alarmingly brilliant in it -- a man locked in torment who can’t find the way out.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    City of Angels
    The movie is physically beautiful, but the ideas are kitsch -- it’s a New Age love story, the latest version of the doomed romances of 50 years ago.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Big Lebowski
    An off-kilter thriller with a sad-sack hero.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Palmetto
    Palmetto is an unconvincing, paint-by-numbers pass at American noir by the usually ambitious German director Volker Schlondorff (The Tin Drum).

    Jackie Brown
    Not revolutionary or even evolutionary but enormously .... methodical. Working from an Elmore Leonard novel, Tarantino has created a gangster fiction that is never larger than life and sometimes smaller.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Tomorrow Never Dies
    If more can't be found in Bond than this, I wouldn't object, in principle, to that tuxedo's being hung up in the closet for good.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Alive
    Despite much fervent talk of the beauty of the mountains and the closeness of God, Alive peters out. [25 Jan 1993, p.55]
    • New York Magazine (Vulture)
    • 60 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Swing Shift
    It offers a Life-magazine view of the home front, with adultery added--but the adultery is so unimpassioned that it might have come from Life, too. [30 Apr 1984, p.87]
    • New York Magazine (Vulture)
    • 49 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Cuba
    Marvelous atmosphere and individual scenes, but not quite a movie. [31 Dec 1979, p.12]
    • New York Magazine (Vulture)
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Wanderers
    Apart from Wahl, the acting in the Wanderers is either embarrassingly flat or hysterically emotional, and the movie is an exhausting mishmash of styles. [23 July 1979, p.62]
    • New York Magazine (Vulture)
    • 41 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Comes a Horseman
    [Pakula] has made the dreary mistake of reducing a half-dead genre to its basic elements, stripping away color, detail, humor--everything that makes it possible to regard a Western as a pleasure rather than an ordeal. [13 Nov 1978, p.128]
    • New York Magazine (Vulture)
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
    While his actors carry the drama to glittering heights of intensity in outbursts of violence, explosions of temper, gushes of tears, Scorsese is unfortunately putting on a camera show of his own, the handheld pursuit of the image lending an exhausting freneticism to what is melodrama enough on its own. [27 Jan 1975, p.64]
    • New York Magazine (Vulture)
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Other
    There is a consistency of character, time and place that properly compliments the plotting and is admirable enough to almost - but not quite - make us forgive the loose ends and missing links. [29 May 1972, p.71]
    • New York Magazine (Vulture)
    • 70 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Catch-22
    As Catch-22 limps along from vignette to vignette, one sees that what it lacks is cohesion, style and essential mood. [29 June 1970, p.54]
    • New York Magazine (Vulture)
    • 68 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The Sterile Cuckoo
    There is all too little here to interest an adult, let alone any veteran of the nutty-girl vs. stodgy-boy chiche. [27 Oct 1969, p.68]
    • New York Magazine (Vulture)
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Bedtime Story
    It’s no lost masterpiece but it is funny and showcases a side of Brando we didn’t get to see often: slapstick funnyman.
