    Reconstruction
    This languorous art movie is somewhat like "Memento," with its narrative fragments and memory mixups. It never explains itself, which means that the audience, like the protagonists, must take a leap of faith.

    Secret Ballot
    Yet another film from Iran that has the leisurely pace, sly humor and incontrovertible wisdom of a Sufi parable.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 50 Jami Bernard
    The Longest Yard
    It's a misguided, miscast remake of the 1974 Robert Aldrich classic.
    • 67 Metascore

    Mrs Palfrey at The Claremont
    The movie pulls off the trick of blurring the distinctions between romantic and platonic attractions across the generations.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 63 Jami Bernard
    The Yards
    With one exception (hint: Faye Dunaway), the actors seem remarkably at home in their milieu.

    No Man's Land
    Writer-director Danis Tanovic, a Bosnian who spent years documenting his homeland's turmoil, makes a bold feature-film debut with this funny, sobering message movie.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 63 Jami Bernard
    First Love
    The movie exaggerates a common dynamic between men and women.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 25 Jami Bernard
    Little Nicky
    Crude and giggly.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 38 Jami Bernard
    The Rules of Attraction
    Juices up the visuals with fancy camerawork and split screens, but it can't distract enough from the vulgarity of the material.

    • 38 Jami Bernard
    Joe Somebody
    An unimaginative schoolyard-bully comedy.

    • 94 Metascore
    • 100 Jami Bernard
    Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
    Handsome, passionate and fun. It's everything we go to the movies for.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 50 Jami Bernard
    Intimate Strangers
    This has all the ingredients for a top-notch thriller except one - a thrill.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Jami Bernard
    Mean Creek
    A welcome departure from typical movies about teens, wherein their problems are external (the prom, status). Mean Creek is an adult movie that just happens to star young actors.

    SLC Punk!
    A surprisingly genial and affecting comedy about the trials and tribulations of teenage rebellion during the Reagan '80s.

    Iris
    A delicately upbeat, even humorous celebration of love and sacrifice.

    William Eggleston in the Real World
    Refreshingly offbeat documentary.
    • 66 Metascore

    Stuart Little 2
    Nearly scrapes the bottom of the cracker barrel in search of suspense, now that the humans accept the polite mouse as one of their own.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 88 Jami Bernard
    Capturing the Friedmans
    This extraordinary film refracts truth through the prism of memory, until what you get is a tragedy of Shakespearean dimensions, full of sacrifice and betrayal.

    La Nouvelle Ève
    Viard plays one of the most intriguing female characters in recent film from either side of the Atlantic.
    • 24 Metascore
    • 25 Jami Bernard
    The Suburbans
    A desperately unfunny comedy that wastes a brand-name cast.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Jami Bernard
    Shadow of the Vampire
    Works on several playful levels. Most obviously, it is a horror movie in which life imitates art on a movie set.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 50 Jami Bernard
    All the Little Animals
    Hurt is slumming in an unchallenging role.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 50 Jami Bernard
    How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
    Some of the scenarios are funny. But they're uniformly overplayed.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 50 Jami Bernard
    Hoot
    What's subversive about the movie is that it comes off as squeaky-clean, when in fact it's irresponsible. Worse, it's not that interesting.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Jami Bernard
    The Count of Monte Cristo
    With more buckling than swash, The Count of Monte Cristo is a good-looking, poorly acted washout.
    • New York Daily News
    • 86 Metascore
    • 100 Jami Bernard
    Traffic
    Borderline brilliant. Tackles the war on drugs from a kaleidoscope of perspectives.
    • 30 Metascore
    • 25 Jami Bernard
    The Pacifier
    An abysmal comedy that should have been strangled in its crib.
    • 16 Metascore
    • 50 Jami Bernard
    Half Baked
    Reefer mildness.
    • New York Daily News
    • 37 Metascore
    • 20 Jami Bernard
    The Island of Dr. Moreau
    This movie is not just bad, it is breathtakingly, spectacularly, awesomely bad. You might want to see it out of curiosity. [23 Aug 1996, p.40]
    • New York Daily News
    • 52 Metascore

    Romeo Must Die
    This is not for the Merchant-Ivory crowd, but action fans will feel their pulses quicken.
