  • Review: 'Jack the Giant Slayer' Is Large-Scale Fun Best Viewed from Atop the Beanstalk
    By: Matt Patches March 01, 2013 12:32pm EST
    Fairy tale logic is fallible, but not in the hands of X-Men director Bryan Singer.
  • Unknown Review
    By: Thomas Leupp February 17, 2011 9:49am EST
    A decent premise is squandered amidst a torrent of cliches in this derivative conspiracy thriller.
  • The Losers Review
    By: Thomas Leupp April 23, 2010 5:50pm EST
    A sort of ‘A-Team Lite,’ this surprisingly entertaining action thriller makes for an apt prelude to the summer movie season.
  • The Invasion Review
    By: Kit Bowen August 17, 2007 10:41am EST
    Even though it’s a retread, The Invasion’s point of view on body snatching still elicits the right kind of creepy paranoia.
  • Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang Review
    By: Mike Szymanski October 21, 2005 1:57pm EST
    As one of the best noir crime thrillers since L.A. Confidential, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is also going to make you laugh and laugh.
  • House of Wax Review
    By: Scott Huver May 06, 2005 4:39am EST
    How far off the mark is a film when even the prospect of watching Paris Hilton stalked, terrorized and violently snuffed--in a red bra-and-panty set, no less--fails to viscerally deliver its audience-pleasing promise? Way off.
  • Hide and Seek Review
    By: Kit Bowen January 28, 2005 6:57am EST
    Even though Hide and Seek's chilling tag phrase--"Come out, come out, wherever you are!"--may be enticing, just stay right where you are. Don't even bother venturing out to see this unoriginal thriller.
  • Gothika Review
    By: Stacie Hougland August 23, 2004 1:28pm EST
    This plane-crossing load of malarkey is not altogether awful until two-thirds in, the exact point when the music stops, you see the abysmal finale coming at you like a brick-loaded train, and you wish you'd rented The Ring instead.
  • Exorcist: The Beginning Review
    By: Guylaine Cadorette August 20, 2004 2:02pm EST
    Despite a promising start, Exorcist: The Beginning crumbles into a hilarious mess of a story with deplorable dialogue. Think Scare Tactics meets the world of bad, bad CGI.
  • X2: X-Men United Review
    By: Kit Bowen May 02, 2003 3:28pm EST
    X2: X-Men United is a thoroughly exciting and intriguing sequel in the X-Men series, a pure adrenaline ride. But with a weighty--and very important--message attached, the film also makes you think.
