  • Resident Evil: Extinction Review
    By: Mark Burger September 21, 2007 6:40am EST
    Continuing in the grand tradition of this sci-fi/horror franchise, the third Resident Evil installment Extinction is simply more mindless mayhem.
  • Bratz Review
    By: Kit Bowen August 03, 2007 5:36am EST
    The derivative Bratz is a great big pink marshmallow of a movie, aimed at one demographic only: tween girls into fashion and lip gloss. Anyone else, enter at your own risk.
  • Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Review
    By: Kit Bowen July 23, 2007 10:07am EST
    Less flash, more grit, The Order of the Phoenix is definitely the most introspective of the Harry Potter movies. If you’re expecting fast-paced wizardry action at every turn, however, you might be disappointed.
  • The Hitcher Review
    By: Brian Marder January 19, 2007 11:55am EST
    There’s not a shred of originality to be seen in The Hitcher, but it’s still enough of an assault on two of the five senses to tide you over till the next horror remake.
  • John Tucker Must Die Review
    By: Kit Bowen July 28, 2006 5:33am EST
    In the typical vein of high school teen movies full of joie de vivre, John Tucker Must Die is unadulterated fluff. Derivative but somewhat amusing.

    By: Kit Bowen May 26, 2006 5:42am EST
    Ron Howard’s beautifully framed The Da Vinci Code sticks to author Dan Brown’s controversial wild goose-chase thriller pretty religiously. But the movie’s faithfulness to the book poses some inherent problems, including keeping your attention for two and a half hours.

  • Spider-Man 2 Review
    By: Kit Bowen July 02, 2004 3:49pm EST
    Spidey and gang are back in Spider-Man 2--perhaps in need of some therapy--but ultimately bigger and better than ever. Can you feel the money leaving your wallet yet?

  • Catch Me If You Can Review
    By: Kit Bowen March 26, 2003 12:17pm EST
    Fueled by a wonderful performance from Leonardo DiCaprio, Catch Me If You Can is a lighthearted yet heart-wrenching look at the making of a truly brilliant, if somewhat reluctant, con artist.
