Ghetto (2002) 81% 3.5/4 EDIT “Shanghai Ghetto, much stranger than any fiction, brings this unknown slice of history affectingly to life.” – Seattle Times Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Masculine-Feminine (1966) 96% EDIT “An odd, scattered, free-form, but thoroughly engaging film.” – Seattle Times Jun 17, 2005 Full Review Paper Clips (2004) 71% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's a remarkable story, and well worth seeing, particularly for its handful of genuinely affecting moments.” – Seattle Times Mar 25, 2005 Full Review Game Over: Kasparov and the Machine (2003) 76% 2.5/4 EDIT “It should be good fun for chess lovers. For the chess-indifferent, it also has some enjoyable moments.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Mar 25, 2005 Full Review The Upside of Anger (2005) 74% 3/4 EDIT “Though this is not the type of serious film likely to win many awards, Allen gives one of her best performances.” – Seattle Times Mar 18, 2005 Full Review Gunner Palace (2004) 86% 2.5/4 EDIT “One of the most frightening aspects of the movie is the random feeling it conveys. Another is the shock of seeing such very young soldiers, many of them teenagers, caught up in a war they don't really understand.” – Seattle Times Mar 11, 2005 Full Review A Talking Picture (2003) 76% 2.5/4 EDIT “Extremely slow and won't be for those with no appetite for lengthy, self-serious monologues, but it also has a sharp, personal edge to it.” – Seattle Times Mar 11, 2005 Full Review Flight of the Phoenix (2004) 30% 2/4 EDIT “A ham-fisted movie that doesn't tax your brain with a lot of pesky ideas and three-dimensional characters.” – Seattle Times Dec 17, 2004 Full Review Proteus: A Nineteenth Century Vision (2004) 24% 1.5/4 EDIT “Problematic on almost all levels.” – Seattle Times Nov 5, 2004 Full Review Vera Drake (2004) 93% 4/4 EDIT “Vera is the heart of the film, and Staunton gives an exquisite performance.” – Seattle Times Oct 22, 2004 Full Review Tying the Knot (2004) 89% 3.5/4 EDIT “A quietly effective exploration of the divisive subject of gay marriage in America.” – Seattle Times Oct 22, 2004 Full Review Woman Thou Art Loosed (2004) 52% 2/4 EDIT “A monochromatic melodrama.” – Seattle Times Oct 22, 2004 Full Review Primer (2004) 72% 2.5/4 EDIT “Intriguing but flawed.” – Seattle Times Oct 15, 2004 Full Review Shaolin Soccer (2001) 89% 2.5/4 EDIT “Not an earth-shattering achievement, but not something to miss if you haven't yet met Stephen Chow.” – Seattle Times Apr 23, 2004 Full Review Bus 174 (2002) 96% 3.5/4 EDIT “An extraordinary portrait of a life lived always in the shadow of despair.” – Seattle Times Mar 5, 2004 Full Review The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (2003) 98% 3.5/4 EDIT “A gripping, nearly perfect documentary, chronicling a heart-stopping rise, fall and triumphant reversal in the space of its 74-minute running time.” – Seattle Times Feb 27, 2004 Full Review The Big Bounce (2004) 16% 2/4 EDIT “For all its twists and turns, Bounce never really goes anywhere.” – Seattle Times Jan 30, 2004 Full Review Bad Santa (2003) 78% 3/4 EDIT “A profane, wildly politically incorrect and sometimes shockingly funny holiday comedy.” – Seattle Times Nov 26, 2003 Full Review Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat (2003) 10% 2/4 EDIT “The movie has some mildly amusing moments, but it completely lacks the wild glee and irresistible rhythm of the book.” – Seattle Times Nov 21, 2003 Full Review Underworld (2003) 30% 3/4 EDIT “A weirdly compelling blend of corny sentiment and bloodthirsty ballet.” – Seattle Times Sep 19, 2003 Full Review Matchstick Men (2003) 82% 2.5/4 EDIT “Disappointing and uneven” – Seattle Times Sep 12, 2003 Full Review And Now... Ladies and Gentlemen (2002) 47% 2.5/4 EDIT “You'll either like this soaringly daft confection, even as it aggravates you with its self-absorption, or you won't. I did.” – Seattle Times Aug 29, 2003 Full Review Step Into Liquid (2003) 81% 2.5/4 EDIT “While Step Into Liquid has charming and even breathtaking moments, it definitely flags after the halfway point.” – Seattle Times Aug 22, 2003 Full Review Uptown Girls (2003) 14% 1.5/4 EDIT “Everything has a blurry, much-edited quality, and the story lines don't mesh.” – Seattle Times Aug 15, 2003 Full Review Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) 24% 1.5/4 EDIT “More like a Cradle of Tedium, and despite the high-decibel sound and fury, you may wish you had brought a pillow.” – Seattle Times Jul 25, 2003 Full Review
