    The Jackal
    What keeps coming to mind throughout The Jackal is that for what it cost to make this movie you could probably pay some nice hit man to eliminate everyone at Universal who thought making the movie would be a good idea, and still have enough left over to throw one of those hit man parties and have a really great time.

    The Apostle
    One of the most self-in-dulgent, muddled, badly written, vague and pointless exercises in filmmaking I have ever had to sit through.

    The Loss of Sexual Innocence
    With The Loss of Sexual Innocence, director Mike Figgis reaches an almost comical low in the pursuit of what appears to be a desperate need to express deeper, uh, depth. Figgis' deliberate obfuscation may delight him, but it leaves the viewer mystified and bitter. [18 Jun 1999]

    Jade
    The hiccupping inelegance of this movie's narrative and direction makes it impossible to empathize with or even really comprehend any of the characters.

    Pitch Black
    A rather wan version of "Jurassic Park" - a series of setups featuring humans being picked off by bigger, faster and stronger carnivores.

    Kicking and Screaming
    Baumbach is obviously a bright man, but this material is too thin for anything more than a slight New Yorker short story about thoughtful screw-ups.

    Blue Streak
    Offers two or three worthwhile laughs.

    Nowhere
    As bad movies go, Gregg Araki's Nowhere is right up there with the best of them.

    Love Stinks
    Stewart's insistently ironic delivery of every line becomes an irritant in a movie that is already monstrously irritating.
