The Machinist
With time as a buffer, it’s now easier to see The Machinist for what it is: a labyrinthine leap down the rabbit hole into a nightmarish wonderland.

Enemy at the Gates
While it does have some solid moments of action, the film as a whole is laughable.
El Dorado
Hawks and his cast and crew make El Dorado seem so easy. It’s like a refined blockbuster that’s confident in hitting its ability to hit the right notes.
Three Days of the Condor
It’s got the mystery aspect down beautifully, but because I wasn’t given a chance to get behind the characters and get to know them, I had a hard time getting into the film itself.
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
The best film about bullying ever made.
Yes Man
A film that has little plot until the last act, yet Carrey rises above it to bring it to an acceptable level.
Bedtime Stories
Enjoyable, silly and a wee bit whimsical. It’s also treacherously predictable at times, the two leads lack chemistry and it has the token horrible Rob Schneider cameo.
Marley & Me
Marley & Me is a film of moments and many of them are cute. For anyone who has ever had a dog or a close pet, there’s bound to be some connection.
Bolt
Focused, fun and action-packed, Disney’s Bolt proves that it doesn’t need the Pixar banner to make an excellent CG animated film.
Quantum of Solace
As an action movie, Quantum of Solace is solid, albeit nothing memorable. But this is James Bond.
