Autumn in New York—Rottentomatoes.com tracks movies by what fraction of reviews they get are positive. Of 47 reviews for Autumn in New York, 37 of them are negative. All of them say pretty much the same thing: the movie is trite, cliched, and generally boring. Make of that what you will.

What Women Want—What women want is not, if you ask me, for men to read their minds. However, despite the strange premise, this flick is quite well done. It has been accused of being a "chick flick" but I would say it’s just the opposite. I liked it because I could root for the guy.

Snatch—Have you seen Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels? From the same director, Snatch has a similar staccato style of action and machine-gun dialogue. Not quite as good as Barrels, this flick is still very entertaining, particularly if you find most modern movies to be too plodding or slow.
