Almost Famous (2000)
91%
“Miller, Cameron Crowe's younger alter ego, moves towards his little bits of wisdom with such likeability that you can't help believing that his lessons are your lessons too. For me, that is the hallmark of intelligent comedy.” –

Amélie (2001)

“Here is a comedy with a lightness of touch, a clear line of thought and interesting characters. What more do you want for the price of a half decent bottle of Chablis?” –

“You never quite know what the camera will do, or what the singers will sing, or what colours might suddenly appear...You never know what you will see, and when it comes to motion pictures, that is most crucial thing of all.” –

Magnolia (1999)
82%
“Magnolia is a plea for kindness -- especially between parents and children. It appeals to the emotional heart rather than the logical brain, but there's true greatness here -- it's a rare movie, about which one can feel true passion.” –

Gladiator (2000)
80%
“Gladiator is a terrifically embroiling movie. Like Braveheart, it is in essence a very good cowboy picture, but here there is less myth-making, less historical swaggering, and more clear-cut storytelling of the old-fashioned kind.” –

The Queen (2006)

“Frears's movie pays Britain's first family the supreme compliment of taking it seriously, and it's hard not to feel that the results will enjoy a long and fruitful reign in the affections of moviegoers.” –

The Happening (2008)
17%
“One of the most interesting movies of the year, despite being one of the worst. It offers a study in what happens to the mind of a talented moviemaker when he is caught between commercial hysteria and his own engulfing ego.” –
