4/4
Lone Star (1996) Judith Egerton Hot Hollywood hunk McConaughey... Cooper, Morton, Peña and the other members of Sayles' cast endow Frontera with characteristics that give the place a genuine feeling of a small town populated by an ethnic mix of people who share decades of connections.

Mulholland Dr. (2001) Judith Egerton [David Lynch's] movie captures the extraordinary brightness of California day while leaving us with the shadowy sense of unease we feel when navigating a city alone at night.

Devil in a Blue Dress (1995) Judith Egerton Chinatown propelled Jack Nicholson to a higher level of stardom, and Devil in a Blue Dress should do the same for Washington.

The Forgotten (2004) Judith Egerton The Forgotten is kinetic enough to keep you in your seat, but it slips from memory quickly.

3/4
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2003) Judith Egerton In the end, it is the complex aura surrounding Owen's character...that stay with the viewer long after the threads of the story have unraveled in one's mind.

The Manchurian Candidate (2004) Judith Egerton With Meryl Streep in an updated version of the Angela Lansbury role, Denzel Washington in the Frank Sinatra part...the movie is a virtual master class of acting.

3/4
De-Lovely (2004) Judith Egerton Kevin Kline's acting and musical talent combine to make Irwin Winkler's beautiful yet flawed De-Lovely a movie to see.

2/4
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) Judith Egerton I hoped for far more laughs, a sharper edge to the humor and a comedy that would attain the rank of other SNL alum works such as Caddyshack.

Hilary and Jackie (1998) Judith Egerton No, it's not a movie about two first ladies married to adulterous husbands.

3/4
Affliction (1997) Judith Egerton One wonders why Dafoe is even in the movie. But Nolte is, and that's what enriches Schrader's bleak drama.

In Dreams (1999) Judith Egerton Someday, Annette Bening is going to star in a movie that's as interesting and powerful as she can be as an actress.

3/4
The General (1998) Judith Egerton Neither Boorman's cinematic expertise nor Gleeson's canny performance is enough to make us care about Cahill's destruction.

4/4
The English Patient (1996) Judith Egerton It's Casablanca set amid the swirling Sahara sands of North Africa and the voluptuous hills of Tuscany.

Tin Cup (1996) Judith Egerton Like other Shelton movies, it's dappled with interesting characters.
Posted Jul 06, 2004  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Career Girls (1997) Judith Egerton More modest and less involving than Secrets & Lies.
Posted Jul 06, 2004  Edit critic review
2.5/4
State of Siege (1972) Judith Egerton A political thriller with a cautionary message, but it doesn't carry out its mission.
Posted Jul 06, 2004  Edit critic review
3.5/4
A Civil Action (1998) Judith Egerton A legal drama that doesn't follow the usual Hollywood-John Grisham formula.

2.5/4
eXistenZ (1999) Judith Egerton Brave moviegoers and fans of writer-director David Cronenberg will find funny dialogue and grotesquely engrossing scenes in his latest sci-fi horror tale.

The Red Violin (1998) Judith Egerton It is disconcerting to see {Jackson}...after watching his exceptional performances as crazy criminals in two Quentin Tarantino movies.

3/4
Wild Wild West (1999) Judith Egerton I recommend you suspend any whiff of disbelief and enjoy Sonnenfeld's hammy sci-fi Western, set in the late 1860s.
Posted Jul 02, 2004  Edit critic review
3.5/4
The Eel (1997) Judith Egerton Imamura composed The Eel with an artist's eye and takes his time, so don't expect a fast-paced American-style film.
Posted Jul 02, 2004  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Music of the Heart (1999) Judith Egerton Doesn't revolve around a self-centered main character or possess the schmaltz of Mr. Holland's Opus.
Posted Jul 02, 2004  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Anna and the King (1999) Judith Egerton The third major screen version of the story, has much to recommend it.

2/4
Where the Heart Is (2000) Judith Egerton The script, based on a novel by Billie Lett, is sprinkled with phrases meant to be poignant and funny, but sound like repackaged cliches.

2.5/4
Dinosaur (2000) Judith Egerton The movie follows a rather dull tale similar to the 1988 animated film The Land Before Time.
Posted Jul 02, 2004  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Men of Honor (2000) Judith Egerton The decision to shift some of the attention to De Niro's character...dilutes the power of Brashear's fascinating life story.

The Cat's Meow (2001) Judith Egerton Dunst gives us a bright, bubbly woman with comedic talent.

2.5/4
Down in the Delta (1998) Judith Egerton Employs too many redundant, stagy flashbacks to tell the story of Loretta's ancestors.
Posted Jul 01, 2004  Edit critic review
3/4
Cousin Bette (1998) Judith Egerton A revenge drama, with Lange's Bette pulling the strings.

2.5/4
Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998) Judith Egerton The selfish pea brains who brought their bright-eyed infant to...this violent horror movie deserve a private, late-night visit from the uncompromising Michael Myers.

I Married a Strange Person (1997) Judith Egerton Newlyweds often discover that their mates have odd quirks once they begin living together, but in Plympton's movie, that truth is taken to cartoon extreme.

Your Friends & Neighbors (1998) Judith Egerton It's both a daring composition and a repelling look at gender warfare.

54 (1998) Judith Egerton One can only hope "54" will hammer the final nail in disco's coffin. It's music that I don't want stayin' alive.

The Sweet Hereafter (1997) Judith Egerton Based on Russell Banks' tragic novel about a town grieving for 14 children killed in a bus crash, easily makes my list of top 1997 films.

3.5/4
Michael Collins (1996) Judith Egerton A way to relate pivotal events to an audience who probably knows little about the Irish republic's creation.

Multiplicity (1996) Judith Egerton It's a showcase for Keaton.

2/4
Inventing the Abbotts (1997) Judith Egerton In the end, it adds up to nothing more than a humorless, forgettable nostalgia piece with carefully re-created costumes and settings from the Eisenhower years.
Posted Jul 01, 2004  Edit critic review
4/4
The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996) Judith Egerton The latest movie from the great director Milos Forman is a sensational, irreverent docudrama. And, as they say in the porno trade, it's adult entertainment.
Posted Jul 01, 2004  Edit critic review
3/4
A Thousand Acres (1997) Judith Egerton Fans of Jane Smiley's enthralling Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, A Thousand Acres, will find the movie version disappointing.
Posted Jul 01, 2004  Edit critic review
3/4
A Life Less Ordinary (1997) Judith Egerton Part fantasy-adventure, part musical, part nutty romance and part boy-girl crime spree.
Posted Jul 01, 2004  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Weed (1996) Judith Egerton A loopy visit to an extended pot party in Amsterdam where a bong is so large that it has to be lit with a blowtorch.

3.5/4
Kundun (1997) Judith Egerton Scorsese skillfully indulges his propensity for obsessive detail. Visually, the direction is varied and exhilarating
Posted Jul 01, 2004  Edit critic review
2.5/4
The Matchmaker (1997) Judith Egerton There are two reasons to see "The Matchmaker" and neither involves the two characters at the center of this far-fetched romantic comedy.

Godzilla (1998) Judith Egerton If only one could fast-forward past the idiot characters to the parts where the creature nests in Madison Square Garden, crushes Fifth Avenue and chomps a taxicab.
