Date Movie Review
February 17, 2006 9:22am ESTDate Movie is as crude, tasteless and cheap as a movie the Farrelly brothers might’ve made during adolescence. And since the year has only just begun, let’s tack on 2005 and proclaim this the worst movie of the last year and a quarter… Oh, what the hell—the last decade.

Tristan & Isolde Review
January 13, 2006 10:09am ESTTristan & Isolde strives to be the good old-fashioned medieval kind of romance that stirs the soul. But due to the somewhat lackluster performances from the doomed young lovers, the film doesn’t quite hit the mark.

The Family Stone Review
December 16, 2005 7:40am ESTAs 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.

Walk the Line Review
November 18, 2005 4:24am ESTWalk the Line arguably boasts two of the most dazzling, Oscar-worthy performances of the year from Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. It's just a shame the biopic isn't as brave. After all, Johnny Cash wasn't "The Man in Black" just for his wardrobe alone.

Waiting... Review
October 07, 2005 11:53am ESTWaiting is a mix of perverse highs and hopelessly pathetic lows. Still, there's a few more of the former than the latter, enough to force a depraved smile. Just be sure to steer clear of the buttered popcorn at the concessions.

Just Like Heaven Review
September 16, 2005 5:05am ESTJust Like Heaven is sweet enough for some but it's going to be "just like hell" for boyfriends who are dragged kicking and screaming to this boring chick flick.

Batman Begins Review
June 17, 2005 5:42am ESTFar more than just "Batman, Again?," Batman Begins is indeed a fresh start for the film franchise, capturing the best aspects of the Dark Knight's dark beginnings and--in the film's greatest strength--the noblest aspects of his caped crusade against crime. Like the Batmobile itself, the superhero icon has been retooled and supercharged, roaring to ferocious new life for a new generation.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Review
April 29, 2005 7:17am ESTHitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy fans will admire the striking visual effects, laugh at familiar scenes and leave the theater satisfied, though a little disappointed with the left-out bits. But the inside jokes and loopy antics could throw the general population into a panic--a violation of the Guide's golden rule.

Hide and Seek Review
January 28, 2005 6:57am ESTEven 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.

Friday Night Lights Review
October 08, 2004 9:39am ESTPerhaps 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.
