3/4
The Passion of the Christ (2004) Greg Dean Schmitz I can't bring myself to condemn this film... [Gibson] made the film he was inspired to make, which included writing, directing, producing, financing and marketing [it] himself

3.5/4
28 Days Later (2002) Greg Dean Schmitz I've never seen a vampire... but a gang of swarming, bloodthirsty people... now that's scary. And so is this movie.

3.5/4
Hulk (2003) Greg Dean Schmitz Ang Lee's treatment is deadly serious, but a lack of winking humor is appropriate in the case of this dark heroic tale, and the action sequences are riveting, thrilling and cathartic.

A Decade Under the Influence (2003) Greg Dean Schmitz an entertaining introduction of the "auteur directors" that emerged from 1968 to 1978

The Guys (2002) Greg Dean Schmitz Besides the fact that it's about 9/11, it's also an effective film because you learn something about the lives of the firemen who are willing to lay down their lives for our safety, which was true long before the year 2001

Lost in La Mancha (2002) Greg Dean Schmitz If something about you causes you to root for Terry Gilliam too, you should definitely seek this film out

Song for a Raggy Boy (2003) Greg Dean Schmitz If this had been fictional, I probably would have been harsher on the story, but since it's a true story, what would have been a weakness can be perceived as a strength

3/4
MC5: A True Testimonial (2002) Greg Dean Schmitz the story of the MC5 is one that is trapped between art and politics... just like they were

3/4
Prey for Rock & Roll (2003) Greg Dean Schmitz an effective musical drama about the dream that female rockers out there are still pursuing, often for years... that particular story is not told that often, which makes this film worth seeking out

1/5
The Punisher (1990) Greg Dean Schmitz The only positive spin I can put on this movie is that if bad comic adaptations like it hadn't been done in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Marvel never would have needed to have its current, high-quality big-screen resurgence.

X2 (2003) Greg Dean Schmitz Would this sequel not just live up to being a sequel of the first film, but even more closely live up to the expectations of fans, some of whom have been fans for over three decades? YES.

The Real Cancun (2003) Greg Dean Schmitz Somewhere between Jackass with girls and an R-rated version of MTV's The Real World ... Better than The Bachelor, Joe Millionaire or American Idol.

Zu, Warriors From the Magic Mountain (1983) Greg Dean Schmitz This 1983 fantasy kung fu classic is pure visual flash and thrill, making up for in 'eye candy' what it lacks in a story

4/4
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) Greg Dean Schmitz a dense comedy (whereas Jay is just... dense), which is to say there are more jokes... than in any comedy I've seen in a long time

The Turandot Project (2000) Greg Dean Schmitz This is a classic 'East meets West' situation, and it's great fun to watch it all come together.

Evolution (2001) Greg Dean Schmitz The part of me that grew up reading sci-fi novels was tickled just enough, and the comedy was just (barely) funny enough, for me to recommend this.

3/4
The Animal (2001) Greg Dean Schmitz Considering that this is a movie about a man whose sex drive is controlled by animal urges, I was expecting a lot worse everytime a goat or cow appared on screen

Amores perros (2000) Greg Dean Schmitz The performances here are, again and again, natural and convincing, with many of the actors making their debuts.

The Tailor of Panama (2001) Greg Dean Schmitz John Boorman's direction here is impeccable, capturing well the look and sounds of Panama City, and mixing it in with the film's story.

Swordfish (2001) Greg Dean Schmitz Strictly style above content, to the point that even cracking is shown as being a bit like Tetris

Moulin Rouge (2001) Greg Dean Schmitz ...the 'Star Wars' of romantic musicals, reinventing and revitalizing the genre in one gutsy burst of cinematic glam and joy.

Pearl Harbor (2001) Greg Dean Schmitz Bay and company chose to prop up a poorly written romance as an epic, with death, war, and mayhem as plot devices.

Children Underground (2001) Greg Dean Schmitz If you have a stomach for harrowing, depressing true tales of man's inhumanity to man, Children Underground is a fantastic document of a nation's priorities gone wild.

Dogtown and Z-Boys (2001) Greg Dean Schmitz The rebellion, the rock music, and the frenetic introduction to skating culture all combine to make [this] one of the most entertaining and fun movies of the year.

3/4
Otomo (2000) Greg Dean Schmitz I was impressed by the decision to make Otomo a bit of an anti-hero, seeming aware that in desperate times, good people may say or do things outside the norm.

A Knight's Tale (2001) Greg Dean Schmitz What a great idea to plunder the history books (and Renaissance airs) and single out a now-defunct sport like jousting.

In the Bedroom (2001) Greg Dean Schmitz an amazingly deft debut for actor-turned-director Todd Field, who has obviously been watching the great directors he's had a chance to work with

The Road Home (1999) Greg Dean Schmitz ...story of an illiterate young woman so completely in love with a man who doesn't seem to care left me with a bitter taste.
