3.5/5
The American President (1995) Randall King A snappy, sharply written romantic comedy, The American President makes valiant efforts not to venture into fantasyland.

Misery (1990) Randall King It's an effective thriller and it has a meaningful subtext.

4/4
Hook (1991) Randall King The Academy may as well send Oscars to the production designers right now and get it out of the way.
Posted Dec 19, 2025  Edit critic review
True Lies (1994) Randall King True Lies is another Cameron hybrid with the most unlikely of parents: James Bond and Lucy Ricardo. It is a combination of domestic comedy and big, big action.

4.5/5
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) Randall King After taking a wobbly step with The Abyss, Cameron can now confidently assume his rightful place as the best action genre director around. And of course Arnold is at his very best when he's playing a robot.

Predator 2 (1990) Randall King Assuming we don't ask too many questions, we're supposed to sit back and enjoy the massacre. But in fact, the massacre is tedious.

4/5
To Sleep With Anger (1990) Randall King While slow and stylistically spartan, To Sleep With Anger pointedly presents a series of dichotomies within the family.

4.5/5
Spider-Man (2002) Bruce Kirkland Simmons boldly steals scenes as the cigar-chomping, bombastic boss of the city's much-racking newspaper, The Daily Bugle.

5/5
Boogie Nights (1997) Randall King Twenty-seven-year-old director Paul Thomas Anderson is strutting his stuff behind the camera as self-consciously as the disco dancers in front of it. Forgive him. The bottom line is that Anderson really can dance.

4/5
Hard Eight (1996) Randall King The reason Hard Eight is so appealing is that it veers sharply from most conventional Hollywood fare -- and most unconventional Hollywood fare for that matter... You simply don't know where it's going to go until it gets there.
Posted Sep 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Night of the Living Dead (1990) Randall King It straddles between offensiveness and good taste and as a result it has no impact, little humor, and no soul.
Posted Sep 18, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Darkman (1990) Randall King Darkman is far closer to the spirit of the comic book form than either Batman or Dick Tracy. And as a matter of fact, it's a better movie than both of them.

2/5
Dirty Work (1998) Randall King It's a mean little comedy.
Posted Aug 18, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
The Wedding Banquet (1993) Randall King The Wedding Banquet deftly walks a line between eastern and western audience by sticking with a gently sardonic tone.

3.5/5
American Psycho (2000) Randall King Bale, an actor who is male-model-handsome enough to epitomize Bateman's cold surface glamour, is also smart enough to understand that the character he's playing is not just a monster, but a loser.

2.5/5
Mission: Impossible (1996) Randall King This is a big, empty thrill machine.

2.5/5
Red Rock West (1993) Randall King While an amusing little waste-o'-time, this film by writer-director John Dahl never really takes off. Any style and wit is subdued, as is Cage, who might as well be sleepwalking through this part.

5/5
Pulp Fiction (1994) Bruce Kirkland When dialogue is as distinctive as It is here the actors make the most of it.

3.5/5
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) Louis B. Hobson Turns out you really can get too much of a good thing. Or even a good ring. Make no mistake about it, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is a very good thing.

4.5/5
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) Bruce Kirkland In terms of its visual and aural splendour, it is even better and bigger in scale than the first film.
Posted Dec 18, 2002  Edit critic review
3/5
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) Bruce Kirkland A better movie than the clumsy Phantom Menace.
Posted May 16, 2002  Edit critic review
5/5
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) Bruce Kirkland With breathtaking verve, stylish visuals and dazzling special effects, and finally with robust performances from a huge ensemble, the three-hour, live-action epic sweeps audiences into the fantastical world of Middle-earth.
Posted Dec 19, 2001  Edit critic review
Jurassic Park III (2001) Jim Slotek The latest summer dino-fest pales next to the maligned sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
Posted Jul 18, 2001  Edit critic review
Pitch Black (2000) Randall King If Pitch Black is a likable sci-fi thriller, it's because it has the heart of a cheeseball '70s disaster movie beneath the horror trappings of computer-generated mutant bats and winged demon aliens.

Pokémon the Movie 2000: The Power of One (2000) Randall King Hang on to your wallets, mom and dad.

Boys and Girls (2000) Randall King [The stars] are navel-gazing bores.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) Randall King Bringing the cartoon characters into the real world requires a wild imagination. Credit scriptwriter Kenneth Lonergan for having it.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
The Whole Nine Yards (2000) Randall King Peet emerges as one of the most delightful female characters in the film.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
What Planet Are You From? (2000) Randall King Nichols' film is distinctive from his other sex comedies in that it aims lower than the brain.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Angela's Ashes (1999) Randall King Admirably performed.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
28 Days (2000) Randall King Bullock also covers herself with gratuitous comedy and predictable drama to prevent audiences from seeing the naked truth of addiction.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Gossip (2000) Bruce Kirkland Gossip is just unbelievable.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Beautiful (2000) Randall King The movie's heroine is so tiresome, you can feel her projected image draining your life away.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Three Kings (1999) Randall King It's gutsy stuff, disturbing but funny and strangely captivating.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
The Big Kahuna (1999) Randall King [Danny DeVito] has never been better than he is here.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Where the Money Is (2000) Randall King The heist sequence is an almost mellow affair, and the sexual content is likewise unlikely to induce any heart attacks among Newman's age demographic.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Nurse Betty (2000) Randall King It's Zellweger's movie, and her charm proves to be just the right prescription to balance LaBute's astringent style.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Drowning Mona (2000) Randall King The richest comedy is in the details and in throwaway bits of dialogue.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
The Way of the Gun (2000) Randall King A smarter-than -usual action movie.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
The Original Kings of Comedy (2000) Randall King Though boasting four of the best black comics in the biz, this film by Spike Lee is not going to dethrone Richard Pryor Live as the funniest comedy concert film ever.

The Replacements (2000) Randall King Utilizing state-of-the-art methods in the science of statistics, I have determined there will be virtually no audience for The Replacements.

3/5
Final Destination (2000) Randall King This is Wong's first feature, but he demonstrates a pretty sure hand in the art of making audiences cringe, shiver and jump.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Where the Heart Is (2000) Randall King Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel apparently couldn't resist dressing the movie up like a Baskin-Robbins ice cream cake with lots of precious, cutesy comic touches.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Man on the Moon (1999) Randall King Forman ends it all with a hint that Kaufman may still be with us, a narrative cop-out akin to the it-was- all- a-dream denouement. If he is alive, Andy Kaufman may be the only one in the theatre laughing.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Supernova (2000) Randall King Supernova meekly goes where other sci-fi flicks, such as Alien, have gone before.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Keeping the Faith (2000) Randall King The film fleshes out the jokey premise with rather elaborate character development.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Frequency (2000) Randall King Its own fancifully melodramatic way, Frequency's appeal as a unique little thriller doesn't get lost in the static.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Rules of Engagement (2000) Randall King A disservice to those soldiers it would celebrate.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
Eye of the Beholder (1999) Randall King McGregor's character is so devoid of interest, it makes one long for the redeeming charm of Jar Jar Binks.
Posted Jan 01, 2000  Edit critic review
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) Darryl Sterdan Many critics have called Ripley one of the year's best movies, and with good reason.
