  • Fever Pitch Review
    By: Kit Bowen April 08, 2005 4:47am EST
    The Farrellys' endearing Fever Pitch might not hit it completely out of Fenway Park. But with the entirely likable and believable performances from its lead players, along with a real-life underdog baseball team that made history, it scores a triple.
  • Wimbledon Review
    By: Kit Bowen September 17, 2004 5:19am EST
    Even with an appealing Paul Bettany on the back line, Wimbledon's cross-court love match mostly fumbles along rather than running up to the net for the kill shot. (How about that for a bunch of tennis clichés?)
  • Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid Review
    By: Kit Bowen August 27, 2004 1:41pm EST
    You know exactly what you're getting into when you sit down to watch a movie in which there is not only one but many giant super snakes, eating a bunch of really stupid scientists and slithering amok in a jungle they aren't really suppose to be in. Please tell me you know.
  • Without a Paddle Review
    By: Gregory Freitas August 24, 2004 5:02am EST
    While sporadically hilarious, Without a Paddle is a regurgitation of every fish-out-of-water comedy since 1987. Even still, it would make for a funny and frequent rental, if the audience it was intended for wasn't nearing 40 years old.
  • Van Helsing Review
    By: Kit Bowen May 11, 2004 12:47pm EST
    For the love of all that's unholy, drive a wooden stake, shoot a silver bullet, do whatever it takes to put Van Helsing out of its misery.
  • 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.
  • Outkast, BeyoncĂ© Win Big at Grammys

    Winners list for the 46th annual Grammy Awards.
  • Looney Tunes: Back in Action Review
    By: Kit Bowen November 13, 2003 1:17pm EST
    It's James Bond! It's Indiana Jones! It's Ocean's Eleven! It's too much. Looney Tunes: Back in Action misses out on a brilliant opportunity to tell a simple story about a rabbit vs. a duck.
  • Love Actually Review
    By: Kit Bowen November 12, 2003 8:58am EST
    A breath of fresh air in a season full of downer dramas and horror films, Love Actually allows you to sit back and enjoy the romantic, comical and bittersweet consequences of being under Cupid's spell.
