Tomatometer-approved critic
Biography:

Bio: Steve’s passion is writing, and what he loves to write are film reviews of which he produces 300 full-length ones per year. Although having the opportunity to write is reward enough, he counts the letters of praise and (well-written) criticism he receives from his readers as a wonderful bonus. When possible, he takes his teenage son, Jeffrey, along to the press screening and includes Jeffrey’s one-paragraph mini-review at the end of his own.

THE BEST AND WORST FILMS OF 2003 Copyright 2003 Steve Rhodes This was an outstanding year for motion pictures! It was the first year that I can remember in which there were six films that I was extremely excited about. Usually there are only one or two films that are so superb that I can't stop thinking about them, but this year there were six in that category. Moreover, numbers two through six on my top ten list were so close that they were virtually a tie. Only the last film in The Lord of the Rings saga was clearly better than the rest of my top six. After hitting a high water mark last year with 317 reviews, this year I dropped back a bit to only 293. If you want to read my reviews, I have twenty-five hundred of them now at my web site: InternetReviews.com. I also maintain an E-mail distribution list to which I send out my new reviews as well as a weekly opening day summary for theatrical releases and another for video releases. Drop me a line at Steve.Rhodes@InternetReviews.com if you'd like to be added to the list. It's free. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Steve Steve Rhodes's List of the Best Films of 2003 1.

Olympia Part One: Festival of the Nations (1938) 89% 4/4 “It has made several lists as one of the greatest movies of all time. It is easy to see why.” – Internet Reviews Apr 9, 2021 Full Review Face (2002) 63% 2.75/5 “A picture to admire even if not quite one to recommend.” – Internet Reviews Mar 13, 2021 Full Review Ghetto (2002) 81% 2.5/4 “The problem is the needlessly poor quality of its archival prints and film footage. The images lack contrast, are murky and are frequently too dark to be decipherable.” – Internet Reviews Jan 29, 2019 Full Review 2.5/4 “A picture to admire even if not quite one to recommend.” – Internet Reviews Oct 20, 2018 Full Review Home Alone (1990) 66% 2.5/4 “A hit for its slapstick humor as well as the age-old theme of a kid who bests the grown-ups.” – rec.arts.movies.reviews Nov 10, 2017 Full Review Only the Strong (1993) 13% 1/4 “The cinematography is jarring and dizzying at times; the acting mediocre.” – Chicago Tribune Jun 17, 2014 Full Review Miracle on 34th Street (1947) 96% 3.5/4 “The acting is superb all around. The script is lovely, good spirited and perfect viewing for the Christmas season.” – Internet Reviews Dec 4, 2013 Full Review 4/4 “One of the most engrossing films that I've ever seen. If all television was this good, we could get rid of theaters.” – Internet Reviews Mar 4, 2013 Full Review The Rhino Brothers (2001) 3/4 “” – Internet Reviews Apr 4, 2011 Full Review Suckers (1999) 3/4 “One thing is certain, the energetic movie tries hard to be the best that it can be, which is a lot of fun.” – Internet Reviews Apr 4, 2011 Full Review The Life of Fish (2010) 3.5/4 “Most such films are packed with dialog like an overstuffed grocery bag, but The Life of Fish features conversation spoken slowly and sparsely as if every word must count.” – Internet Reviews Mar 9, 2011 Full Review The Happy Housewife (2010) 3/4 “Wonderful erotic comedy that takes a sharp turn into tragedy ... it's touching” – Internet Reviews Mar 4, 2011 Full Review Black Swan (2010) 85% 4/4 “It had such an impact on me that I sat staring zombie-like at the closing credits, unable to move.” – Internet Reviews Feb 14, 2011 Full Review The Social Network (2010) 96% 4/4 “Polish up the Oscar and get ready to give it to Eisenberg, an actor whom most people have never seen before.” – Internet Reviews Oct 13, 2010 Full Review Step Up 3 (2010) 47% 1.5/4 “Step Up 3D is one D too many. This gimmick-laden film is filled with clichés in the production as well as the script.” – Internet Reviews Oct 2, 2010 Full Review Inception (2010) 87% 2.5/4 “More time wasting than time bending, Inception is a shoot 'em up masquerading as a thinking person's sci-fi film.” – Internet Reviews Jul 16, 2010 Full Review The Greatest (2009) 55% 3/4 “It's quite a good film and is extremely well acted, but its emotional assaults were so powerful that I found myself almost unable to endure them.” – Internet Reviews Mar 3, 2010 Full Review A Prophet (2009) 96% 2.5/4 “It's one quarter of a great movie. But, after its frightening opening act, the rest of the movie is remarkably ho hum and way too long. Still it's well worth seeing for its devastatingly intense first thirty minutes.” – Internet Reviews Mar 2, 2010 Full Review The Last Station (2009) 70% 3/4 “While its two major Oscar nominations may cause you to raise your expectations, the movie is basically an entertaining piece of fluff with a little drama thrown in every now and then.” – Internet Reviews Feb 6, 2010 Full Review When in Rome (2010) 17% 3/4 “Sweet, romantic and genuine, When in Rome, which features a consistently charming Kristen Bell, is certainly fluff, but it is very entertaining and enjoyable.” – Internet Reviews Jan 29, 2010 Full Review The Blind Side (2009) 66% 3/4 “In probably her best performance ever, Sandra Bullock is downright brilliant. As in CRASH, Bullock proves again that she is much better at drama than comedy.” – Internet Reviews Nov 20, 2009 Full Review 2012 (2009) 40% 3/4 “Easily the best bad movie in years, 2012 is hilariously over the top.” – Internet Reviews Nov 13, 2009 Full Review Pirate Radio (2009) 59% 3/4 “Consistently and delightfully entertaining ... If the movie has a downside, it's that its great music from the 1960s sometimes outshines the narrative.” – Internet Reviews Nov 13, 2009 Full Review The Damned United (2009) 92% 3.5/4 “The Damned United beautifully demonstrates that, if you pair a truly gifted screenwriter with terrific actors, cinematic magic is possible, perhaps even likely.” – Internet Reviews Nov 4, 2009 Full Review Law Abiding Citizen (2009) 26% 2.5/4 “Its preposterous plot usually requires a generous suspension of disbelief. But for all of the promises of the narrative, which is filled with many genuine twists and shocks, the overall result is surprising flat.” – Internet Reviews Oct 15, 2009 Full Review
