Infamous Review
October 17, 2006 6:31am ESTInfamous is a thoughtful, emotional and oftentimes hysterical re-telling of Truman Capote’s life-altering experience in Kansas. It might actually be better than that other Capote movie.

The Last King of Scotland Review
September 29, 2006 6:22am ESTA volcanic, career-defining performance from Forest Whitaker absolutely hijacks The Last King of Scotland and the Oscar race. He also rescues the movie from its disappointing--albeit powerful--mediocrity.

Shortbus Review
September 29, 2006 5:10am ESTShocking, explicit, edgy, writer/director John Cameron Mitchell tries taking over the mantle as a modern-day Federico Fellini with Shortbus.

Crossover Review
September 01, 2006 6:27am ESTDespite a superb cast, Crossover dribbles slowly, with not nearly enough time on the basketball court.

Lady in the Water Review
July 21, 2006 5:13am ESTThe fantastical Lady in the Water—M. Night Shyamalan’s most wildly imaginative yet obscure work to date—will probably disappoint those looking for that certain Shyamalan je n’sais quoi. Still, you can’t fault the guy for being a true original.

The Lake House Review
June 16, 2006 5:15am ESTAlthough a little predictable and more than a little sappy, the refreshing Lake House still isn’t your typical love story.

The Wild Review
April 14, 2006 6:02am ESTIn a cross between Finding Nemo and Madagascar, with a little Lion King thrown in for good measure, Disney’s The Wild is just plain old tired derivativeness. Maybe we should chalk this one up to bad timing.

16 Blocks Review
March 03, 2006 7:25am ESTOne downtrodden detective looking for redemption. One star witness set to testify against corrupt cops who are gunning for him. 16 Blocks to the courthouse. You get the picture.
