  • Stardust Review
    By: Robert Sims August 13, 2007 11:38am EST
    Stardust is so witty, enchanting and romantic, it’s destined to become The Princess Bride of the Harry Potter generation. 
  • Delta Farce Review
    By: Kit Bowen June 01, 2007 5:53am EST
    It’s everything you’d expect from a lame comedy called Delta Farce, featuring three dopes in army gear on the movie poster.
  • The Astronaut Farmer Review
    By: Kit Bowen February 23, 2007 6:04am EST
    Billy Bob Thornton finally sheds his Bad Santa-ness to play an everyday hero in the uplifting, if slightly cornball, family drama The Astronaut Farmer.
  • Because I Said So Review
    By: Brian Marder February 02, 2007 4:33am EST
    Because I Said So is a flick to be seen only by the most desperate of chicks—as in mothers desperate to steal some time with their teenaged daughters. Although, any baby boomer females oughtta do.
  • Pan's Labyrinth Review
    By: Scott Huver December 29, 2006 5:24am EST
    A product of singular imagination by a filmmaker at the height of his prowess, Pan's Labyrinth is the kind of gothic fairy tale most movies are not--at once wildly fantastical yet elegantly rich in reality, magically inspiring yet profoundly disturbing.

    Notes on a Scandal is a wonderfully salacious and psychologically controlling character piece, which brilliantly showcases two of the industry’s more gifted actresses.
  • Big Momma's House 2 Review
    By: Brian Marder January 27, 2006 9:34am EST
    Big Momma's House 2 is precisely what you'd expect from a sequel whose title no longer has any affiliation with the current "story": a few harmless, lowbrow laughs, all of which are forever indebted to the formulas of crap past.
  • The Ringer Review
    By: Brian Marder December 23, 2005 6:14am EST
    Masquerading under the guise of an “inspirational story,” The Ringer hits a new low for Hollywood. Producers may have exploited their way into some (intentional, of course) controversy buzz, but don’t expect audiences to be fooled by this unfunny hoax of a comedy.
  • The Family Stone Review
    By: Kit Bowen December 16, 2005 7:40am EST
    As one of the more likable holiday films to come around in a long time, the comedy The Family Stone will also surprise you with its depth and emotional appeal.
  • Friday Night Lights Review
    By: Kit Bowen October 08, 2004 9:39am EST
    Perhaps if Friday Night Lights was the first high school football story to come to the big screen, it would be one of the best. Even though the film does sport some superb performances and tackles gritty realism with gusto, it isn't the first to do that--far from it.
