Dr. T and the Women (2000)
One of the sad aspects of watching a once great director strive to get back to his position of glory is in seeing him aiming for greatness even when the material clearly won’t allow...

Pay It Forward (2000)
Only the terrific performances by the two stars keep this mushy and manipulative “inspirational” tear-jerker together. Pay It Forward has a decent idea: a teacher (Spacey) introduces a different kind of assignment for his social studies...
Frequency (2000)
FREQUENCY is a sleeper thriller, and one of the better surprises of 2000 that only a small amount of people went to see. This one has the Aurora Borealis phenomenon occurring in the same...
Bedazzled (2000)
I’ve yet to see the 1967 original Dudley Moore comedy of the same name, but I don’t think I’ll need to compare the two. Bedazzled is a story that has been countless times before, from Faust onward. This...

Meet the Parents (2000)
Jay Roach, director of the Austin Powers films, takes another stab at a non-Austin comedy (Mystery Alaska was the first), achieving likable but uneven results. This one casts Ben Stiller as a male nurse named Greg Focker...

Keeping the Faith (2000)
In KEEPING THE FAITH, Ben Stiller plays a rabbi, Edward Norton plays a Catholic priest, and Jenna Elfman is their childhood friend that moved away long ago. Now she is back, but feelings long...
Mallrats (1995)
Although Clerks was filmed with a much smaller budget and no real actors to speak of, Mallrats is the film that shows Kevin Smith the most at a loss on how to make his movie. Real studio money...
Remember the Titans (2000)
I suppose it was about time for producer Jerry Bruckheimer to release another stinker on the movie-going public, and Remember the Titans ranks among his very worst. Based on a true story, this film is...
