The Hours (2002) 79% 4/5 EDIT “The film's true star is its script.” – Film Threat Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Far From Heaven (2002) 87% 4/5 EDIT “The film confronts the era(TM)s intolerance with regard to gender and race relations, but it should be noted that Haynes films without a trace of irony. The actors offer similarly genuine performances.” – Film Threat Dec 6, 2005 Full Review My Kingdom (2001) 40% 1.5/5 EDIT “Suffice it to say that Shakespeare's sudden and violent ending doesn't translate well into a British crime drama.” – Film Threat Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Team America: World Police (2004) 77% 4/5 EDIT “In an election season where there's so much bitter partisan bickering, it's good to see that some people haven't lost their non-partisan sense of humour.” – Chart Magazine Oct 26, 2004 Full Review Garden State (2004) 86% 4/5 EDIT “"Lo and behold, the Scrubs guy turns out to be a pretty good filmmaker."” – Chart Magazine Aug 20, 2004 Full Review Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004) 75% 3/5 EDIT “"The stoner flick has a new face."” – Chart Magazine Aug 20, 2004 Full Review Collateral (2004) 86% 4/5 EDIT “"Screenwriter Stuart Beattie can be faulted for his cop-out ending, but the other principal players make the best of what they're given to work with."” – Chart Magazine Aug 20, 2004 Full Review De-Lovely (2004) 49% 3/5 EDIT “Judd is a natural to play a sophisticated Kentucky belle, while Kline's Ivy-League demeanour and metrosexual mannerisms make him the perfect candidate to play Porter.” – Chart Magazine Jul 7, 2004 Full Review The Notebook (2004) 54% 2/5 EDIT “Perhaps it's a stretch to call this a 'literary' romance. It's firmly entrenched in pulp territory.” – Chart Magazine Jul 7, 2004 Full Review Baadasssss! (2003) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Baadasssss! is not only a poignant portrait of Melvin Van Peebles' drive and determination, but also a revealing glimpse at the crazy world of independent film making.” – Chart Magazine Jul 7, 2004 Full Review King Arthur (2004) 30% 2/5 EDIT “... a historical drama that emphasizes the drama over the history.” – Chart Magazine Jul 7, 2004 Full Review Coffee and Cigarettes (2003) 63% 1/5 EDIT “Even the most loyal Jarmusch aficionado will find significant portions of this film to be an incredible bore.” – Chart Magazine May 25, 2004 Full Review Van Helsing (2004) 24% 1/5 EDIT “...an effects-driven travesty that purees some of literature's classic horror stories into bland, action-driven pulp.” – Chart Magazine May 18, 2004 Full Review Scumrock (2002) 60% 1/5 EDIT “Comes off as a tired rehashing of the director's '90s-era DIY creations.” – Film Threat Mar 17, 2004 Full Review Starsky & Hutch (2004) 63% 2/5 EDIT “Anyone who has seen Spike Jonze's video for the Beastie Boys' 'Sabotage' has witnessed a far more effective parody of the '70s cop show.” – Chart Magazine Mar 9, 2004 Full Review The Republic of Love (2003) 44% 3/5 EDIT “If this sounds like a typical Hollywood-fuelled 'opposites attract' story, rest assured there's a high degree of verisimilitude in the way these jaded lovebirds come together.” – Chart Magazine Mar 5, 2004 Full Review Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2004) 69% 3/5 EDIT “[B]usiness is good for Cedric the Entertainer.” – Chart Magazine Feb 6, 2004 Full Review Water Drops on Burning Rocks (2000) 75% 2/5 EDIT “Although the story is well structured, Ozon injects it with too much bile...” – Chart Magazine Feb 5, 2004 Full Review The Big Bounce (2004) 16% 2/5 EDIT “One suspects that David Hasselhoff acted as an uncredited consultant...” – Chart Magazine Feb 5, 2004 Full Review Monster (2003) 81% 4/5 EDIT “Monster is noteworthy primarily for Theron's performance, a brilliant career-shifting move for her and the strongest cinematic performance in 2003.” – Chart Magazine Jan 16, 2004 Full Review Pieces of April (2003) 83% 2/5 EDIT “Pieces Of April deserves a few points for style, as well as for Clarkson's effort, but nothing for its insubstantial use of story and character.” – Chart Magazine Nov 21, 2003 Full Review Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat (2003) 10% 1/5 EDIT “I lament the fact that new generations will likely learn about Seuss' story via this CGI-laden monstrosity...” – Chart Magazine Nov 21, 2003 Full Review The Human Stain (2003) 41% 2/5 EDIT “Watching The Human Stain, you'll likely only care about the money you've spent to watch overpaid actors work on auto-pilot.” – Chart Magazine Nov 3, 2003 Full Review Alien (1979) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Has Alien aged well? If you appreciate the more aesthetic attributes of sci-fi and horror genres... you'll find new revelations with this print.” – Chart Magazine Oct 30, 2003 Full Review Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) 85% 4/5 EDIT “The first half of Kill Bill is far more exciting than any action flick that passed through this mediocre summer season.” – Chart Magazine Oct 21, 2003 Full Review
