  • Waist Deep Review
    By: Kit Bowen June 23, 2006 3:23am EST
    Waist Deep is just another one of those middle-of-the-road action flicks. You know the type, painfully formulaic but with some decent shoot-outs and plenty of pretty—and ugly—people to gawk at. It shouldn’t amount to much, though.
  • 16 Blocks Review
    By: Kit Bowen March 03, 2006 7:25am EST
    One 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.
  • Something New Review
    By: Kit Bowen February 03, 2006 8:52am EST
    The title is deceptive; there’s nothing new in Something New. In fact, it’s a pretty standard Waiting to Exhale-ish dramedy. Still, the sweet and engaging chemistry between the two leads manages to draw you in.
  • Walk the Line Review
    By: Brian Marder November 18, 2005 4:24am EST
    Walk 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.
  • Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang Review
    By: Mike Szymanski October 21, 2005 1:57pm EST
    As one of the best noir crime thrillers since L.A. Confidential, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is also going to make you laugh and laugh.
  • The Greatest Game Ever Played Review
    By: Kit Bowen September 30, 2005 7:34am EST
    Granted, 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.
  • Kingdom of Heaven Review
    By: Kit Bowen May 06, 2005 4:52am EST
    Between the two of them, Ridley Scott and Orlando Bloom have picked up their swords for Gladiator, Troy and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. And that's the problem. If the intriguing but ultimately derivative Kingdom of Heaven had arrived before these recent period epics, it may have stood a better chance of enthralling us.
  • 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.
  • The Chronicles of Riddick Review
    By: Guylaine Cadorette June 17, 2004 12:44pm EST
    The Chronicles of Riddick is a dazzling sci-fi epic that will have Pitch Black devotees marking their calendars for the third installment. But director David Twohy's sequel is unlikely to strike a chord with those unfamiliar with Riddick's world
