  • 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.
  • Monster House Review
    By: Brian Marder July 21, 2006 5:13am EST
    In the age of movies as financial entities, it’s hard to see precisely which “group”--age or otherwise--Monster House appeals to. But one possible explanation is that, aside from the loud-criers “group,” it may just appeal to everyone.
  • The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift Review
    By: Kit Bowen June 19, 2006 10:36am EST
    The high octane Tokyo Drift is a worthy third installment in the Fast and the Furious franchise. Of course, the story is pretty predictable and farfetched but that’s not why you’re seeing this. It’s all about the drift, baby!
  • Annapolis Review
    By: Kit Bowen January 27, 2006 9:30am EST
    Annapolis isn’t anything but an over-boiled, corn-fed version of An Officer and a Gentleman.
  • The Whole Ten Yards Review
    By: Guylaine Cadorette April 09, 2004 9:47am EST
    Although stars Matthew Perry, Bruce Willis and Amanda Peet shine in this sequel, The Whole Ten Yards fails to go the distance and, just like the title's dubious twist on the common expression, no one seems to know what it means.
  • Spartan Review
    By: Kit Bowen March 12, 2004 3:08pm EST
    As a thriller, Spartan will hold your attention, but unfortunately writer/director's David Mamet's style doesn't fit well in this milieu.

  • Box Office Analysis: April 13
    By: Kit Bowen April 13, 2003 7:55pm EST
    The new comedy Anger Management expectedly beat the bejeezus out of the competition with a whooping $44.5 million*, making it the highest opener of 2003.

  • Better Luck Tomorrow Review
    By: Stacie Hougland April 11, 2003 10:30am EST
    Better Luck Tomorrow is an edgy morality tale with a universal yet stereotype-bucking story told from a perspective you've likely never seen before.
  • The Core Review
    By: Guylaine Cadorette March 28, 2003 5:23am EST
    The Core doesn't rise above schlocky predecessors such as Deep Impact and Armageddon. The film's formulaic script is too predictable and the special effects are unimpressive.
