Anthem (1997) 80% 4/5 EDIT “Anthem stands as a unique testament to the vigor and scope of the American way of life; this is the rare kind of film that should be placed in a time capsule for future generations so they might have a better appreciation of our moment in history.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 19, 2007 Full Review The Deserted Station (2002) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “A modern gem of Iran's always interesting filmmaking industry.” – Boxoffice Magazine Apr 3, 2004 Full Review The Ladykillers (2004) 54% 2/5 EDIT “It is certainly curious to contemplate how the combination of the genius, subversive Coen brothers with the talent of the world's biggest movie star could produce a film that feels so thoroughly robbed of its best treasures.” – Boxoffice Magazine Apr 3, 2004 Full Review Happy Here and Now (2002) 50% 2.5/5 EDIT “While technically brilliant and gorgeous to watch, Happy Here and Now feels as unfocused and uneven as it is ambitious and intellectually frustrating.” – Boxoffice Magazine Apr 27, 2003 Full Review Bubba Ho-Tep (2002) 78% 4/5 EDIT “May Bubba Ho-Tep play at midnight drive-ins until Elvis indeed returns.” – Boxoffice Magazine Apr 27, 2003 Full Review New Suit (2002) 73% 1/5 EDIT “While New Suit might not be the worst film ever made, it is without question one of the worst films about Hollywood ever made.” – Boxoffice Magazine Apr 27, 2003 Full Review Spun (2002) 36% 2/5 EDIT “Not worthwhile if you value cogent storytelling or the dinner you just ate.” – Boxoffice Magazine Mar 14, 2003 Full Review Poolhall Junkies (2002) 33% 2.5/5 EDIT “In his desperate attempt to make a super-cool movie with great actors, Callahan has only managed to assemble a super-cool group of actors with little to do.” – Boxoffice Magazine Feb 28, 2003 Full Review Super Sucker (2003) 29% 1.5/5 EDIT “The quirky and bizarre nature of the material would have been better suited to a director more nimble with absurd, broad and physical humor.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jan 24, 2003 Full Review Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist (1997) 92% 2/5 EDIT “It contains language and depicts sexual acts that most will find appalling and intolerable, and this fact overshadows any enticing human element the film tries to extend.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 25, 2002 Full Review Better Housekeeping (2000) 44% 1.5/5 EDIT “The actors improvise and scream their way around this movie directionless, lacking any of the rollicking dark humor so necessary to make this kind of idea work on screen.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 13, 2002 Full Review Deep Blue Sea (1999) 60% 1/5 EDIT “Harlin, in telling a standard tale of morality and conflict, turns in a plotless, empty picture that dissolves into an emotionless videogame.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 5, 2002 Full Review Eye of God (1997) 75% EDIT “It's a shame that this strong cast had such weak material to play.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 5, 2002 Full Review An Alan Smithee Film: Burn, Hollywood, Burn (1997) 8% 2/5 EDIT “A hollow, tedious (even at 86 minutes it's long), and dated inside joke (constant references to Michael Ovitz and the Japanese might have been funny in `95), that probably will not translate to audiences that are not employed in the movie business.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 5, 2002 Full Review Urban Legend (1998) 30% 0/5 EDIT “Reprehensible and laughable.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 5, 2002 Full Review 20 Dates (1998) 35% 2/5 EDIT “Had the filmmaker gone the path of the true, entertaining, and unpretentious faux-documentary, the audience would have cheered our love-starved hero along his entire journey rather than restlessly waiting for a date to strangle him with a camera cable.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 5, 2002 Full Review Clay Pigeons (1998) 62% 4/5 EDIT “Actually brings a clean, new and very funny edge to the weathered genre of crime and sleaze.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 5, 2002 Full Review The Way We Laughed (1998) 86% EDIT “All perspective on the characters and situations are dissolved, leaving the audience with little more than some lovely photography to enjoy.” – Boxoffice Magazine Nov 22, 2001 Full Review America's Sweethearts (2001) 33% EDIT “Save for a few crackling wisecracks from Billy Crystal, and some moments of delicious is-she -acting-or -is-it-real insanity from Catherine Zeta-Jones, the fine cast sleepwalks through this film.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jul 20, 2001 Full Review Divided We Fall (2000) 90% EDIT “Attempts a mix of subtle drama and tragedy, but loses much if not all meaning in the process.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 8, 2001 Full Review Freddy Got Fingered (2001) 12% EDIT “Offers nothing more than the chance for Tom Green the actor to just be as insane and disgusting as possible without an arbiter to help him sort out the funny from the way unfunny.” – Boxoffice Magazine Apr 20, 2001 Full Review Tomcats (2001) 13% EDIT “Full of manic comedy bits seemingly pilfered from the reject pile of the brothers Zucker and Farrelly.” – Boxoffice Magazine Apr 2, 2001 Full Review Someone Like You (2001) 41% EDIT “Separates and identifies characters not on the basis of their reality and frailty as human beings but as the total of their longwinded whining about their love lives.” – Boxoffice Magazine Apr 2, 2001 Full Review
