The 6th Day (2000)
40%
“Just because the movie disappoints doesn't mean it's not a pleasant romp - it makes fun use of its great cast... and it certainly hurries speedily along with as few painful bon mots as possible.” –

“There's great potency to stories cut from this cloth, and 8mm manages to avoid it entirely.” –

15 Minutes (2001)

“What a frenzied mess 15 Minutes is. It bears a lot of the imprimaturs of good intentions, not the least of which is the ruins to which it leads.” –

Wild Wild West (1999)
16%
“Wild Wild West is far from perfect; it only barely enters the sphere of good. But it is good, just not nearly as good as it should have been.” –

The Weather Underground (2003)
92%
“Its gimmick is not only gracefully sustained and made believable, it's integrally tied into the character relationships. In other words, it's a delight to watch.” –

United 93 (2006)
90%
“The most fair characterization of the movie, by a mile, is as an adaptation of The 9/11 Commission Report, and at this it is marvelous. It reads between the report's lines to infer drama but does so scrupulously.” –

The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)

“The Thomas Crown Affair is puffery, but it's dynamite puffery blessed with a recognizable human heart. It's the kind of summer movie you wish there were more of.” –

Tarzan (1999)

“You'll all be dazzled, and its makers deserve your recognition for their toil and craft. Just pause to acknowledge what is being presented to you for what it is and what it isn't.” –

The Sum of All Fears (2002)
59%
“Sum's three predecessors provided it, to different degrees, succeeding by making the political personal... Sum inverts this balance, disastrously.” –

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
54%
“The Phantom Menace is a thoroughly and sincerely enjoyable blockbuster. It's well-cast, actually pulls off some limited and necessary levity and is, particularly in its last half-hour, truly masterfully edited.” –

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999)

“If you discount the songs, the movie's only funny insofar as its premise is funny (that is, mildly), and its profanity is exhausting.” –

The Sixth Sense (1999)

Signs (2002)
76%
“In terms of nail-biting, it's first rate, and it's handsomely acted by a lovingly chosen cast. Shyamalan just has so much craft that it feels like he's pulling his punches, hindered from achieving art by his unwillingness to go for broke.” –

Red Dragon (2002)

“It's resolutely average and, worse, unambitious, so bloody competent that it is in fact bloodless, cleanly avoiding opportunities to take its scenario someplace interesting, frustrating any attempts to get really caught up in it.” –
