Hang on to your wallets, mom and dad.

Hanging Up
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
It's particularly disappointing that Keaton demonstrates little of the quirky sensibility of her previous works, either as a director or an actress.

The Way of the Gun
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
A smarter-than -usual action movie.

The Original Kings of Comedy
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
Though boasting four of the best black comics in the biz, this film by Spike Lee is not going to dethrone Richard Pryor Live as the funniest comedy concert film ever.

|
The Bachelor
(1999)
|
Darryl Sterdan
|
The Bachelor is just as dismal a failure -- the anti-date movie of the year.

Boys and Girls
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
[The stars] are navel-gazing bores.

The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
Bringing the cartoon characters into the real world requires a wild imagination. Credit scriptwriter Kenneth Lonergan for having it.

The Whole Nine Yards
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
Peet emerges as one of the most delightful female characters in the film.

|
Keeping the Faith
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
The film fleshes out the jokey premise with rather elaborate character development.
Posted Jan 01, 2000

|
Frequency
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
Its own fancifully melodramatic way, Frequency's appeal as a unique little thriller doesn't get lost in the static.

What Planet Are You From?
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
Nichols' film is distinctive from his other sex comedies in that it aims lower than the brain.

|
Eye of the Beholder
(1999)
|
Randall King
|
McGregor's character is so devoid of interest, it makes one long for the redeeming charm of Jar Jar Binks.

|
The Talented Mr. Ripley
(1999)
|
Darryl Sterdan
|
Many critics have called Ripley one of the year's best movies, and with good reason.

The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
Ultimately, The Flintstones leaves one as cold as marble.

Angela's Ashes
(1999)
|
Randall King
|
Admirably performed.

28 Days
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
Bullock also covers herself with gratuitous comedy and predictable drama to prevent audiences from seeing the naked truth of addiction.

Gossip
(2000)
|
Bruce Kirkland
|
Gossip is just unbelievable.

Jakob the Liar
(1999)
|
Randall King
|
Even though director Peter Kassovitz tries hard to reproduce the soul-chilling despair of the ghetto, truth eludes Jakob The Liar.

|
Three Kings
(1999)
|
Randall King
|
It's gutsy stuff, disturbing but funny and strangely captivating.
Posted Jan 01, 2000

Beautiful
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
The movie's heroine is so tiresome, you can feel her projected image draining your life away.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
|
|
Nurse Betty
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
It's Zellweger's movie, and her charm proves to be just the right prescription to balance LaBute's astringent style.

The Big Kahuna
(1999)
|
Randall King
|
[Danny DeVito] has never been better than he is here.

Where the Money Is
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
The heist sequence is an almost mellow affair, and the sexual content is likewise unlikely to induce any heart attacks among Newman's age demographic.

|
Drowning Mona
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
The richest comedy is in the details and in throwaway bits of dialogue.
Posted Jan 01, 2000
|
|
Erin Brockovich
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
Director Steve Soderbergh wisely emphasizes Erin's personal growth over the crusade.

Down to You
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
Down to You is bad. Real bad.

Final Destination
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
For all the film's 95-minute length, the content is less substantial than 44 minutes of X-Files.

The Replacements
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
Utilizing state-of-the-art methods in the science of statistics, I have determined there will be virtually no audience for The Replacements.

Where the Heart Is
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel apparently couldn't resist dressing the movie up like a Baskin-Robbins ice cream cake with lots of precious, cutesy comic touches.

Man on the Moon
(1999)
|
Randall King
|
Forman ends it all with a hint that Kaufman may still be with us, a narrative cop-out akin to the it-was- all- a-dream denouement. If he is alive, Andy Kaufman may be the only one in the theatre laughing.

Supernova
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
Supernova meekly goes where other sci-fi flicks, such as Alien, have gone before.

A disservice to those soldiers it would celebrate.

The Road to El Dorado

Very entertaining.

Pitch Black
(2000)
|
Randall King
|
If Pitch Black is a likable sci-fi thriller, it's because it has the heart of a cheeseball '70s disaster movie beneath the horror trappings of computer-generated mutant bats and winged demon aliens.
