War of the Worlds Review

The visual effects are impressive and the crew does a technically competent job. The heart and warmth we've come to expect from Spielberg is missing.

Ladder 49 Review

This movie took an intriguing idea and ran it straight into the ground with a weak script and lousy direction.

The Ring Two Review

Sadly, this superfluous sequel follows the time-honored Hollywood tradition of being vastly inferior to its predecessor.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Review

Who knew Charlie Kaufman could write a compelling love story? Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet are perfectly cast in this movie.

Robert DeNiro in Hide and Seek
Hide and Seek Review

A disappointing mess. The script and direction are sub-par, and you could open a fish market with all the red herrings in the story.

House of Flying Daggers Review

While sometimes visually stunning this, movie suffers tremendously from a weak script. Mostly, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a better movie.

The poster for The Polar Express
The Polar Express Review

An instant classic that illustrates what the true spirit of Christmas is all about (from a secular perspective anyway).

The Boondock Saints Review

This movie took a half-baked idea and executed it so poorly that the end result is almost unwatchable. This is a cinematic disaster.

The Grudge Review

Very scary and creepy, but very similar to The Ring. In most aspects, The Ring is a better movie.

Star Wars A New Hope Poster
Star Wars Trilogy DVD Review

There aren't a ton of extras here, and purists will be annoyed by George Lucas' changes, but picture and audio is excellent.

Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning on the Man on Fire poster
Man on Fire Review

A dark, morbid and depressing movie that will leave you feeling unsatisfied and, for lack of a better term, icky.

Exorcist The Beginning movie review
Exorcist IV (The Beginning) Review

A major disappointment that relies more on jump scares than genuine scares. The script is sub-par, and Renny Harlin's direction is even worse.

Spoorloos (The Vanishing) Review

If you're looking for excellent character development with a healthy dose of disturbing creepiness, don't miss Spoorloos (The Vanishing).

Cover art for The Exorcist 3
Exorcist III Review

The storyline takes a back seat to mood and effect, and the ending is weak, but if you like movies that scare you and/or creep you out, don't miss it.

House of Sand and Fog Review

House of Sand and Fog is mostly overlooked by audiences, but this movie is very well done, and worth seeing.

SR
Fahrenheit 9-11 Disney Secrets
Fahrenheit 9/11 Review

Fahrenheit 9/11 has a few valid points to make, but the rest of it either falls flat or comes across as disingenuous.

Dungeons and Dragons Review

Dungeons & Dragons is one of the most unintentionally funny movies ever made & one of the worst. Perfect for those who can appreciate terrible movies.
