Review of Battlefield Earth (2000)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

Sitting through the summer's first monolithic monstrosity, Battlefield Earth, was one of the most painfully excruciating experiences of my life…

Review of American Pie (1999)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

Arch and pretty dull, with a certain sour undertone. And it just isn't very funny…

Review of Mission Impossible (1971)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

Destined to satisfy the thrill junkie and the sophisticate alike…

Review of The Truman Show (1998)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

Not even the more risk-taking alternative cinema, the Independent Film, has been so ruthless in its umbrella indictment of movies, television,…

Review of Trainspotting (1996)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

You stop cringing and start smiling, laughing even, and these kids, who seem like aliens at first, grow on you. They're weirdly likable…

Review of The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle (2000)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

Looms as the Howard the Duck for the new millennium…

Review of Manny & Lo (1996)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

An odd, singular movie full of odd, singular moments…

Review of Primary Colors (1998)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

Primary Colors doesn't even attempt an answer. It's content just going along for the ride. It's too busy having fun…

Review of Almost Famous (2000)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

A good but not great little movie that for some reason has commanded the eager attention of the media and is destined to be overestimated…

Review of Another Day in Paradise (1998)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

Another Day in Paradise is one big pleasurable wallow in grunge noir as only Larry Clark could have concocted it…

Review of Magnolia (1999)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

Magnolia is a bold, rich, meandering tapestry of lost souls in conflict, made by an artist who may be in conflict himself. It's a film of fits…

Review of Cube (1998)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

If you have an innate fear of being trapped in an elevator, either alone or with a group of panicky, talky people, you'll appreciate the kind…

Review of Office Space (1992)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

It's essentially a series of shorts linked together, but this doesn't deny the movie's deft examination of the insane minutia that plague contemporary…

Review of Devil in a Blue Dress (1995)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

The fascinating bits of racial history that director Carl Franklin has folded into the vibrant milieu of a post-World War II Los Angeles pushes…

Review of Aimée & Jaguar (1999)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

It reminds us that the Holocaust continues to be a vital source for singular, inspirational stories…

Review of Saving Private Ryan (1998)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

Saving Private Ryan is not a film that one takes pleasure in, or even enjoys in the usual sense, but rather, it's a movie that elicits a hushed…

Review of Touch of Evil (1958)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

Touch of Evil (1958) is back in yet another incarnation -- proving that Welles' directorial touch was so sure that there was no way anyone…

Review of The Usual Suspects (1995)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

Nothing is what it seems in this layered, velvety movie (which was shot in handsome wide-screen format) -- the truth keeps shifting -- and…

Review of Lethal Weapon 4 (1998)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

In short, it's a mess, albeit a weirdly entertaining mess…

Review of Armageddon (1989)

By Joe Baltake (424) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 01 Jan 2000

Even worse is the wildly overrated Affleck, whose failings as an actor become glaringly obvious here…
