Jason's Review
(in a few words)

 Ticket Stub
1/15/2005 Million Dollar Baby
(2005)

9 / 10		 Really, really good. Hillary Swank is amazing. Her and Clint Eastwood are amazing together. See this one!
1/2/2005 Ocean's Twelve
(2004)

7 / 10		 I'm going to need to watch this movie about 10 times to totally understand everything that happens, but I still liked it. I liked the first one a lot more.
12/24/2004 Meet The Fockers
(2004)

7 / 10		 I liked it, but not as much as the first one (Meet The Parents). The first one was funny in a clever way. This one is funny in a sitcom, over-the-top way.
12/4/2004 Kinsey
(2004)

7 / 10		 A little slow in parts, but still very good.
11/11/2004 The Polar Express (IMAX 3-D)
(2004)

9 / 10		 A wonderful holiday movie. Absolutely loved it. The IMAX 3-D experience made it even better!
11/7/2004 Birth
(2004)

7 / 10		 Can't go wrong with Nicole Kidman. Interesting movie, strange ending. Some disturbing scenes with Nicole and a 10-year old kid in a bathtub.
10/30/2004 Friday Night Lights
(2004)

8 / 10		 One of the best football movies I've ever seen. Kind of like Varsity Blues, but more serious.
9/4/2004 Garden State
(2004)

8 / 10		 Very unique. Very quirky. Very clever. Loved it.
8/7/2004 The Bourne Supremacy
(2004)

7 / 10		 Very good. A lot like the first movie (The Bourne Identity).
7/10/2004 Spider-Man 2
(2004)

9 / 10		 Really, really good. I loved the first one and this one is even better. No Ticket Stub
(snuck into theater!)
7/10/2004 Anchorman
(2004)

3 / 10		 Dumb, boring. Tries too hard to be funny. 5-year olds will probably love this movie. I laughed once (at the end, the George Bush reference).
6/18/2004 The Terminal
(2004)

9.5 / 10		 Wow! I thought the same thing as everyone else after seeing the trailer--how good can a movie about a guy living in an airport be? And Tom Hanks with an accent?! But this movie was really, really, really good!
6/12/2004 Shrek 2
(2004)

7.5 / 10		 Funny, but I liked the first one better. I didn't love this movie as much as everyone else seems to be.
5/23/2004 13 Going On 30
(2004)

5 / 10		 Predictable, boring.
3/21/2004 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
(2004)

8 / 10		 Strange, definitely. But I liked it.
3/6/2004 Mystic River
(2003)

9.5 / 10		 One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I'm only sorry I waited so long to see it.
2/22/2004 The Cooler
(2003)

8.5 / 10		 Wow! What a great movie. William H. Macy is such a great actor.
1/11/2004 Paycheck
(2003)

7 / 10		 I wasn't expecting much from this movie and it was actually fairly entertaining.
1/1/2004 Mona Lisa Smile
(2003)

5 / 10		 This was not the movie I expected. I thought it was going to be Dead Poets Society mixed with Girl, Interrupted. Instead, it was dull and boring. No Ticket Stub
(snuck into theater!)
1/1/2004 Something's Gotta Give
(2003)

7 / 10		 Lots of funny dialogue, but the movie drags on forever. I was ready for it to be over about 30 minutes before it actually was.
12/14/2003 The Last Samurai
(2003)

9.5 / 10		 By far, the best movie I've seen this year. I usually don't like these kind of movies (fighting, set in the past), but I loved this movie. Don't miss this one!!! No Ticket Stub
(snuck into theater!)
12/14/2003 Stuck On You
(2003)

6 / 10		 Not that funny. Only one or two laughable lines. I'm not sure what Matt Damon was thinking.
11/9/2003 Elf
(2003)

7 / 10		 Predictable plot, but pretty funny.
10/31/2003 Scary Movie 3
(2003)

6 / 10		 Didn't expect much from this. Just wanted to go to a movie and laugh a little and that's what I did.
10/18/2003 Runaway Jury
(2003)

6 / 10		 What a disappointment. After reading such a great book, the movie didn't do it for me. The whole plot is completely changed in the movie from the book.
10/17/2003 School Of Rock
(2003)

7 / 10		 Pretty funny. I like Jack Black's style of humor a lot, but not much of a plot and very predictable.
9/13/2003 Matchstick Men
(2003)

9 / 10		 Wow, what a great movie. Don't miss this one!
9/6/2003 Italian Job
(2003)

8 / 10		 This was much better than I expected. Some really funny dialogue and good action scenes.
9/1/2003 Seabiscuit
(2003)

8 / 10		 A very good movie, but I didn't love it as much as most people. It's slow in parts, but still a good movie to see in the theater.
7/4/2003 The Hulk
(2003)

7 / 10		 It was better than I thought it was going to be. A lot of people didn't care for this movie, but I found it interesting.
6/1/2003 Anger Management
(2003)

7 / 10		 Jack and Adam are pretty funny together. Another good rental.
5/24/2003 Bruce Almighty
(2003)

7 / 10		 Pretty funny. A good rental.
3/29/2003 Basic
(2003)

5 / 10		 Another not-so-great John Travolta movie.
3/8/2003 Tears Of The Sun
(2003)

8 / 10		 Great war movie. Appropriate for the times. Bruce is perfect for this role. I kind of felt like I was watching Top Gun mixed with Die Hard. But those are two of my favorite movies, so it works for me!
3/8/2003 Bringing Down The House
(2003)

4.5 / 10		 The only reason this movie gets more than a 0 is because I respect the actors in this movie (Steve Martin, Queen Latifia). This movie was not good. The entire movie consists of one racial slur after another and seems like it was made 50 years ago. It tries way too hard to be funny and falls short.
2/15/2003 Chicago
(2002)

9 / 10		 Who would have thought that I would ever give a musical a 9 out of 10? Well, this might be the only one. Everyone in this movie is great. Even Richard Gere who usually overacts every part he plays. You can't even think about missing this one. See it in the theater too to feel it's full potential.
2/13/2003 About Schmidt
(2002)

9 / 10		 Wow! What a great movie! Definitely slow for some at times, but worth the wait! Jack is amazing in this movie. See it now!
1/18/2003 25th Hour
(2002)

8 / 10		 Surprisingly and strangly good. Showed lots of post-9/11 New York scenes.
12/28/2002 Catch Me If You Can
(2002)

8 / 10		 Very good movie. Can't go wrong with Tom Hanks.
11/28/2002 Solaris
(2002)

8 / 10		 Really good movie. Not what most people in the theater expected. It's slow, but in a good way. I could have done without seeing George's butt, but I guess it sells tickets.
11/16/2002 8 Mile
(2002)

8 / 10		 Pretty good, but I expected a little more after hearing how great this movie was. Eminem is not too bad of an actor, but is he really acting in this movie? It's the story of his life, right?
10/12/2002 Red Dragon
(2002)

7 / 10		 Better than I expected. Not too bad for a sequel.
10/12/2002 White Oleander
(2002)

9 / 10		 One of the best movies of the year!
10/5/2002 Sweet Home Alabama
(2002)

6 / 10		 Very predictable, but still funny in parts.
4/13/2002 Changing Lanes
(2002)

9 / 10		 This movie was so much better than what I thought it was going to be after seeing the trailer. Ben Affleck was made to play this role (the arrogant lawyer). Samuel L. Jackson's character was very similar to his character in Unbreakable, but he was still very good. Definitely a good movie to see in the theater!
3/23/2002 Stolen Summer
(2002)

9 / 10		 This is the movie that was made on HBO's Project Greenlight show. I got totally hooked on the HBO show and couldn't wait to see this movie. The movie did not disappoint. One of the best movies this year by far.
2/23/2002 Dragonfly
(2002)

7 / 10		 This movie was pretty average until the end. The ending is why I gave this movie a 7. If only the whole movie would have been as good and surprising as the end!
2/17/2002 John Q
(2002)

7 / 10		 Much better than I expected. Denzel Washington is great in this movie. Kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end.
1/13/2002 The Shipping News
(2001)

7 / 10		 Another great Kevin Spacey movie. Definitely slow at times, but still enjoyable.
12/30/2001 A Beautiful Mind
(2001)

9 / 10		 A little slow at times, but worth the wait! One of the best movies of the year! Never before have I become so interested in someone's life that I previously knew nothing about. See it!
12/29/2001 Not Another Teen Movie
(2001)

3 / 10		 The only reason this movie gets a 3 is because Molly Ringwald makes a cameo appearance at the end. no ticket stub
(snuck into theater!)
12/29/2001 Ali
(2001)

6 / 10		 Will Smith was great. Jon Voight was amazing. The rest of the movie is not worth seeing. Very slow, very long, not much of a plot.
12/16/2001 Vanilla Sky
(2001)

9 / 10		 A lot of people don't like Tom Cruise's latest movies including Eyes Wide Shut and Magnolia. I think these are some of the best movies he's ever made. This movie also fits into that category. It's not really about what you think it's about after seeing the trailers. There is a very interesting twist at the end that really makes you think. I think this is one of the best movies of 2001. See it!
12/8/2001 Ocean's 11
(2001)

8 / 10		 A very entertaining movie. Some people said it wasn't as funny as they thought it was going to be. I always enjoy movies about heists and any movies set in Las Vegas!
11/17/2001 K-PAX
(2001)

8 / 10		 Kevin Spacey never fails to amaze me. Excellent performance. I'm not the biggest Jeff Bridges fan, but this movie is still one to see.
11/15/2001 Monsters, Inc.
(2001)

8.5 / 10		 Very funny! Animation is amazing. If you see it, watch the detail of animation in Sully's hair throughout the movie.
11/13/2001 Life As A House
(2001)

8 / 10		 A good "real-life" plot. Similar to "American Beauty" but not nearly as good.
10/6/2001 Serendipity
(2001)

6 / 10		 Not too bad. A typical love story. John Cusack has made much better movies than this.
9/22/2001 Hearts In Atlantis
(2001)

9.5 / 10		 One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I highly recommend it!
9/16/2001 The Deep End
(2001)

7 / 10		 I kept expecting the plot to grow, but it never did. I don't understand how this movie won so many film festival awards.
9/8/2001 Rock Star
(2001)

7.5 / 10		 A lot better than I expected. Jennifer Aniston and Mark Walberg are very convincing.
8/25/2001 Tortilla Soup
(2001)

8.5 / 10		 A very good movie! Makes you want to go home and cook a huge dinner!
8/4/2001 Jurassic Park III
(2001)

7.5 / 10		 Not too bad. Better than I expected.
