The Weather Man
So quirky it's surprising Hollywood even allowed it. Good for Verbinski.
Batman Begins
Startlingly handsome prequel nailed by Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale.
Casanova
A "stylish and sexy comedy for grownups" ... Yawn.
Million Dollar Baby
Has its moments, sure, but boxes itself into a maudlin corner.
Cinderella Man
Crowe's boxing scenes are more rousing than recent heavyweight bouts.
Dog Day Afternoon
Try looking as desperate as Al does here. Story of his acting life.
Trust
The sad idealism of hurt. Too bad Hal Hartley ever had to grow up.
The Contender
Gary Oldman should get his own building on Bad Guy Boulevard.
Fight Club
That other guy, the one getting laid and bloodied, hey, he may be you.
Memento
Nolan's movie works so hard to remember it forgets some basics.
Planet of the Apes
Where oh where is Charlton Heston when you need him most?
