Swimming with Sharks (1994)"A dark slice of retribution that recalls Stephen King in his Misery mode."
-
The Good Thief (2002)"Bob is a marvelous creation--a faker who is also the genuine article. He’s the perfect hero for a movie about the world as one big scam."
-
People I Know (2003)"Trashy and lurid as this movie is, it’s certainly not boring"
-
Doc Hollywood (1991)"'Doc Hollywood' draws its energy almost exclusively from cliche. The cornball rowdiness is partially redeemed by the good cast"
-
Killing Zoe (1994)"A raucous, arty little neo-film-noir that comes equipped with a bucket of blood to splatter the halls of convention. It’s not terribly good but you keep expecting it to take off in unexpected directions. Read full
-
Driven (2001)"'Driven' is recommended only to those gentle souls who want to know what it looks like to crash into a wall at 200 mph"
-
Heist (2001)"Mamet is so in love with the con that he's conned himself."
-
The Human Stain (2003)"'The Human Stain' isn't a movie of ideas, and it's too inert to be a probing character study. No stain is left behind, just a wan watermark."
-
Fire in the Sky (1993)"It claims to be based on an actual case of alien abduction but the movie is as phony as a $3 bill"
-
Children Underground (2001)"This film should move mountains. "
-
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)"This is the Coen brothers' most emotionally felt movie, and that's not meant as faint praise."
-
A Mighty Wind (2003)"Achingly funny movie...Guest has cultivated a stock company of players whose work together is so intuitively sharp that it seems to redefine the boundaries of acting."
-
The Last Waltz (1978)"No other concert film has ever expressed so fervently the erotic root of rock. Seeing it is the opposite of taking a trip down memory lane; it's more like a plunge into the belly of the beast."
-
To Be and to Have (2002)"It demonstrates without overreaching what an actual teacher can do to shape lives."
