Review of Vertical Limit (2000)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 20 Mar 2003

Fairly competent but standard action fare - Better than CLIFFHANGER but not as good as THE EIGER SANCTION…

Review of The Fast and the Furious (2001)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 20 Mar 2003

Pretty cars, Pretty people, Pretty lame, and Pretty long . . . It isn't all that furious, and it certainly doesn't go by fast enough…

Review of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 20 Mar 2003

Like her gaming counterpart, she's all pretty eye candy without much of a soul or even an interesting personality…

Review of Seven Samurai (1954)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 20 Mar 2003

The touchstone for the entire Samurai genre, as well as the inspiration for several western films…

Review of Tigerland (2000)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 20 Mar 2003

Farrell holds the film together as the one element that sets this a notch above the average military drama…

Review of Saving Grace (2000)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 20 Mar 2003

Grossly overestimates the effects of Marijuana so that it can get the cheap laughs. But it is genuinely and consistently funny…

Review of Coyote Ugly (2000)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 20 Mar 2003

A movie about a bunch of effortlessly attractive, empty-headed people who manage to constantly have fun at even the most menial of jobs…

Review of Battlefield Earth (2000)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 20 Mar 2003

The sets are laughably cheap, and the aliens look like geeks from a Star Trek convention who couldn't afford to buy the good Klingon costumes…

Review of America's Sweethearts (2001)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 20 Mar 2003

It gets a little funnier toward the end, making up for the draggy first half . . . However, the shelf-life of this Sweetheart should be short indeed…

Review of A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 20 Mar 2003

From Kubrickese to Spielbergian, something got lost in the translation…

Review of Deadly Little Secrets (2002)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 20 Mar 2003

Deadly Dull and more than a little dumb ... Dialogue is stilted, characters are walking clichés, and the plot makes bugger-all sense…

Review of The Replacements (2000)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 20 Mar 2003

At least the ending doesn't cop out. There is no big happy ending where everyone gets a pro football gig or a big Nike ad campaign…

Review of Moulin Rouge! (2001)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 20 Mar 2003

Review of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

Review of Joy Ride (2012)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

America's dark and lonely back roads are the prime location for stories about relentless, psychotic stalkers preying on the youth…

Review of Peter's Friends (1992)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

Review of They Live (1988)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003
