Glory Road Review
January 13, 2006 7:08am ESTGlory Road is Beaches for the beer-guzzling, chest-bumping male species. It treats the groundbreaking story like silly putty, but it’s still cinematic enough for boyfriend-girlfriend role reversal in the theaters.

The Ringer Review
December 23, 2005 6:14am ESTMasquerading 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.

Syriana Review
December 09, 2005 3:53am ESTSyriana, which will stir and incite audiences, is important and galvanizing. Still, it feels a bit like bumper-to-bumper Traffic, and at the end of the day, how hard do you really want to work for a movie?

The Greatest Game Ever Played Review
September 30, 2005 7:34am ESTGranted, it's a sports movie about golf. But with winning performances, fancy camerawork and a classic root-for-the-little-guy scenario, The Greatest Game Ever Played tees off with the best of them.

Broken Flowers Review
August 05, 2005 7:40am ESTJust because the Academy will most likely snub a low-budget, character-driven gem like Broken Flowers doesn't mean you should. In fact, run to the theater, and don't be deterred if it's mostly empty, because you'll need all the room you can get to get a hold of this one.

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.

The Polar Express Review
November 10, 2004 8:37am ESTEven though it may lack a human touch here and there, The Polar Express is still a brilliant effort in CGI-animation and will certainly evoke the Christmas spirit in us all.

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.
