Bamboozled
(2000)
|
Jonathan Lewis
|
Satire requires a subtle touch, and Lee is so defiant and reactionary that he fairly bludgeons the material to death.

Remember the Titans
(2000)
|
Jonathan Lewis
|
The movie manages to be moving and entertaining, and audiences will surely love it, but this is about as slick, predictable and manipulative as a movie can get.

Dr. T & the Women
(2000)
|
Jonathan Lewis

Each actress in this nearly all-female cast brings something unique to her role.

Titus
(1999)
|
Jonathan Lewis
|
Stylistic flourishes amount to little more than an anachronistic jumble, with no rhyme or reason to their application.

Bait

Any Given Sunday
(1999)
|
Jonathan Lewis
|
Any Given Sunday is director Oliver Stone's epic look at the world of professional football, and there is not one cliché, archetype or silly sports movie moment that he forgets to include.

Battlefield Earth
(2000)
|
Jonathan Lewis
|
This third-rate B-movie is predictable and silly in the extreme.

The Talented Mr. Ripley
(1999)
|
Jonathan Lewis
|
Great performances, pretty locales, and smart plot twists makes this exciting character study almost as cunning as the titled character himself.

Disney's The Kid

Mission: Impossible II

Beautiful
(2000)
|
Jonathan Lewis
|
The script never finds the right tone for its life lessons, opting for maudlin sentimentality and ludicrous plot twists as phony as a beauty contestant's hair color.

Scary Movie
(2000)
|
Jonathan Lewis

The Way of the Gun
(2000)
|
Jonathan Lewis
|
The characters are such cardboard constructions that it hardly matters when they all start falling by the wayside in a furious hail of gunfire.

The Patriot

Exciting and entertaining as any good summer blockbuster should be.

Nurse Betty
(2000)

Center Stage
(2000)
|
Jonathan Lewis
|
The cast is all very young and pretty, but they play types rather than anything approaching the semblance of a real human being.

The Replacements
(2000)
|
Jonathan Lewis
|
It is a giggle here at the testosterone posturing, and a chuckle there at the goofy cheerleader tryouts.

Tumbleweeds
(1999)
|
Jonathan Lewis
|
Giving two of the year's best performances, (McTeer and Brown) have astonishing authenticity and naturalness, which never seems like acting.

Cotton Mary
(1999)
|
Jonathan Lewis
|
As fascinating as the central character is, the film has all the excitement of watching the glaze harden on a scone.

Man on the Moon

Space Cowboys
(2000)

Space Cowboys is a weirdly entertaining movie, mixing as it does Cold War intrigue, action flick and geezer buddy comedy.

Trixie
(2000)
