SuperBabies: Baby Geniuses 2 (2004) 0% 0.5/4 EDIT “That's the thing about children when it comes to movies: They're not that discriminating. They can be perilously easy to please, which is why it's important that their parents protect them from films like Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2.” – Chicago Tribune Jul 15, 2014 Full Review My Summer of Love (2004) 90% 3/4 EDIT “It's all very mesmerizing, for them and us.” – Chicago Tribune Jun 18, 2005 Full Review Lipstick & Dynamite (2004) 61% 2.5/4 EDIT “Don't expect the inside scoop so much as an unsatisfying slice of life.” – Chicago Tribune Jun 11, 2005 Full Review Walk on Water (2004) 75% 2.5/4 EDIT “Even when Walk on Water doesn't quite have you by the heart, its little fingers fumble around in your brain.” – Chicago Tribune Mar 17, 2005 Full Review Brother to Brother (2004) 76% 2/4 EDIT “Ambitious but clumsy, it's a movie to appreciate rather than to be engaged by.” – Chicago Tribune Dec 9, 2004 Full Review Thérèse (2004) 11% 1/4 EDIT “Unless you're stumped for a way to commemorate the feast of St. Therese of Lisieux Friday, there's little point in going to see the low-budget, one-star-worthy hagiography, Therese.” – Chicago Tribune Sep 30, 2004 Full Review Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004) 26% 2/4 EDIT “It's little better or worse than the original. But, to be honest, the original -- minus its nascent stars -- wasn't very good.” – Chicago Tribune Aug 26, 2004 Full Review Yu-Gi-Oh! (2004) 6% 1.5/4 EDIT “Much of the movie is devoted to the boys dueling card-to-card. And so most the dialogue, forgive me fans, sounds something like this: "I'm going to thwart your Egyptian God cards with my Rare Metal Dragon card!"” – Chicago Tribune Aug 12, 2004 Full Review The Story of the Weeping Camel (2003) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “Anyone who feels like they're drowning in their own polluted, godless, reality-TV-choked, errand-ridden consumerist life will find a momentary escape from modernity in The Story of the Weeping Camel.” – Chicago Tribune Jun 17, 2004 Full Review Red Trousers: The Life of the Hong Kong Stuntmen (2003) 24% 2/4 EDIT “Feels more like a 'making-of' piece or vanity project for actor and first-time director Robin Shou ... than a tight, thorough documentary.” – Chicago Tribune Apr 1, 2004 Full Review Blind Shaft (2003) 95% 3/4 EDIT “Engrossing because of its amazingly well-documented milieu, which German-trained writer-director Li Yang filmed on location in the northern provinces.” – Chicago Tribune Mar 25, 2004 Full Review NASCAR (2004) 60% 2/4 EDIT “True fans (i.e., the people who are most likely to buy tickets) probably know a lot of this stuff already, and they might be disappointed by the lack of drama and the brevity of 3-D racing action.” – Chicago Tribune Mar 11, 2004 Full Review Catch That Kid (2004) 13% 1.5/4 EDIT “It's a juicy premise, but the enactment is so dumbed-down that you couldn't possibly fault your jaded children for yawning and rolling their eyes.” – Chicago Tribune Feb 5, 2004 Full Review Martin & Orloff (2002) 47% 2.5/4 EDIT “You'll chuckle at least once during the proceedings -- but probably not much more than that.” – Chicago Tribune Jan 15, 2004 Full Review Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion (2003) 86% 2.5/4 EDIT “Such a measured primer of talking heads and footage -- a broad, slick Tibet 101 -- that it seems better suited to the classroom than the big screen, despite its Himalayan scenery and rustic colors.” – Chicago Tribune Dec 11, 2003 Full Review Anything but Love (2002) 33% 2.5/4 EDIT “The earnest, low-budget indie Anything But Love isn't quite the movie you'd like it to be, but it provides some kicks, nonetheless.” – Chicago Tribune Nov 20, 2003 Full Review Suspended Animation (2002) 52% 1/4 EDIT “Feels a lot like two different Hancock jobs stitched together.” – Chicago Tribune Oct 30, 2003 Full Review Good Boy! (2003) 43% 3/4 EDIT “A devastating work of pro-doggie propaganda.” – Chicago Tribune Oct 9, 2003 Full Review Dopamine (2003) 50% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's more likable than it is good. Still, it might leave you feeling romantic (and romantic about your particular city) even if it doesn't nail its case for love in a psychopharmacological age.” – Chicago Tribune Oct 9, 2003 Full Review Luther (2003) 46% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film short-hands a lot of stuff, but it's gripping for a while.” – Chicago Tribune Sep 25, 2003 Full Review The House on Turk Street (2002) 25% 2/4 EDIT “This undermarketed noir suffers because many of its characters don't seem to belong in the same universe.” – Chicago Tribune Sep 20, 2003 Full Review Cabin Fever (2002) 62% 1/4 EDIT “It's just a watery, undeservedly smug update of the low-budget, kids-stranded- in-the-sticks bloodfests of the 1970s and '80s.” – Chicago Tribune Sep 11, 2003 Full Review No News From God (2001) 38% 1.5/4 EDIT “Manny is so uninteresting as a pivotal character that he's a black hole who sucks away our investment in the film.” – Chicago Tribune Sep 4, 2003 Full Review Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003) 25% 1.5/4 EDIT “Horror movies don't have to make sense in the real world, but when you have to help their internal logic along this much, it's pretty much a cue for heckling -- or checking your watch.” – Chicago Tribune Aug 28, 2003 Full Review Phantom (2000) 29% 2/4 EDIT “Despite a couple of memorable scenes, it's boring when it's not kinky.” – Chicago Tribune Jul 31, 2003 Full Review
