American Psycho (2000) 68% 3/4 “By distilling the novel to its satirical essence, Harron turns it into a withering condemnation of a culture where greed is a virtue, a culture that you don't have to feel guilty for laughing at.” – Baltimore Sun Apr 5, 2025 Full Review Scream 2 (1997) 82% 3/4 “The film is so self-conscious that it's as much pop-culture quiz as slasher movie. ” – Baltimore Sun Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Tarzan (1999) 90% 3.5/4 “One glorious ride, and a whole lot of fun.” – Baltimore Sun Dec 20, 2024 Full Review The Exorcist (1973) 78% “The film so steadily ratchets up the horror that seeing it on commercial television is just plain silly. This is a film that needs to be seen larger-than-life, in a darkened room, with a hundred or so of your most terrified friends. ” – Baltimore Sun Sep 28, 2023 Full Review Traffic (2000) 93% 3.5/4 “A scathing, wearying and ultimately frustrating dissection of the Sisyphean conflict, Traffic benefits from strong performances, sure-handed direction and explosive subject matter.” – Baltimore Sun Aug 15, 2023 Full Review Wild Things (1998) 64% 1/4 “Problem is, it's not meant to be funny. ” – Baltimore Sun Feb 2, 2023 Full Review My Family/Mi Familia (1995) 79% 3/4 “Mi Familia is a grand filmgoing experience, vivid testimony to the strength of both family and good old-fashioned star power.” – Baltimore Sun Aug 26, 2021 Full Review Hardball (2001) 41% “Hardball is as shallow and manipulative a movie as any that come to mind.” – Baltimore Sun May 13, 2020 Full Review The Cell (2000) 45% 2.5/4 “"The Cell" looks spectacular. If only it never opened its mouth.” – Baltimore Sun Apr 1, 2019 Full Review Practical Magic (1998) 26% 1.5/4 “Bullock and Kidman are both wonderful actresses, and watching them for two hours could never be called a chore. But even they seem to have trouble pinning the movie down.” – Baltimore Sun Mar 30, 2019 Full Review Never Been Kissed (1999) 55% “Too bad the film, about a budding journalist assigned to do an expose on the degradations of high school life, simply isn't worthy of [Barrymore].” – Baltimore Sun Jan 23, 2019 Full Review Deep Blue Sea (1999) 60% 2.5/4 “The film is full of the sort of knee-jerk shockers that leave audiences bursting into nervous laughter. It's a wild ride, and the less one thinks about it, the better.” – Baltimore Sun Jan 11, 2019 Full Review The Cable Guy (1996) 56% 2/4 “More than anything, The Cable Guy is simply uncomfortable. It's Ace Ventura as the evil bad guy.” – Baltimore Sun Dec 12, 2018 Full Review Mars Attacks! (1996) 55% 1.5/4 “The best thing about Mars Attacks! is that you'll come away believing you could have done the movie better.” – Baltimore Sun Dec 7, 2018 Full Review Sollers Point (2017) 85% 3.5/4 “The journey is everything in Sollers Point... By film's end, you understand that life, and hopefully growth, goes on. There's real beauty in coming to grips with that.” – Baltimore Sun May 11, 2018 Full Review The World Is Not Enough (1999) 51% 2.5/4 “While plausibility has never been the Bond films' strong point, The World Is Not Enough takes things to the breaking point.” – Baltimore Sun Nov 2, 2015 Full Review Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) 57% 3/4 “Brosnan cements his reputation as the best James Bond since Sean Connery, and sometimes he even gives the master a run for his money.” – Baltimore Sun Nov 1, 2015 Full Review Alien (1979) 93% 4/4 “Still one of the creepiest, scariest, most shocking films ever.” – Baltimore Sun Jun 30, 2015 Full Review In Bruges (2008) 84% B+ “Tightly scripted and intricately plotted, the buddy film manages the neat two-step of being simultaneously profane and engaging.” – Baltimore Sun Dec 14, 2014 Full Review I Dreamed of Africa (2000) 10% 1/4 “Here's hoping your own dreams of Africa are more interesting -- and better acted -- than this movie.” – Baltimore Sun Jul 23, 2014 Full Review Dead Man on Campus (1998) 15% 1/4 “The jokes are few. And the only real reason you'll laugh is that, by the time they appear on screen, you've been waiting so long for the opportunity, you'll laugh at anything.” – Baltimore Sun Jul 15, 2014 Full Review In the Mood for Love (2000) 92% 3/4 “As a study of people determined to remain more true to their values than to their emotions, In the Mood for Love offers an experience like few other films of recent memory.” – Baltimore Sun Apr 15, 2014 Full Review Amélie (2001) 90% 2.5/4 “For such a whimsical film to work, there needs to be something substantial at its center, some grounded character or central conflict. All Amelie has is the lightest, most insubstantial of souffles. And who can stomach an entire meal of that?” – Baltimore Sun Apr 9, 2014 Full Review The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) 81% 3/4 “Anderson, who co-wrote the screenplay with Wilson, maintains a straight, deadpan tone throughout the film.” – Baltimore Sun Mar 4, 2014 Full Review Dark Days (2000) 94% 3/4 “It's hard not to get caught up in these people's lives, or to be impressed by their resiliency.” – Baltimore Sun Mar 3, 2014 Full Review
