  • The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio Review
    By: Shawn Dwyer September 30, 2005 8:01am EST
    Julianne Moore gives a shining performance as a mom whose gift for words keeps her struggling family out of the poorhouse. Though glossing over the more unseemly topic of spousal abuse as if it was just another dishwasher arrived on the front porch, Prize Winner nonetheless swings the emotional pendulum of laughter and heartache.
  • House of Wax Review
    By: Scott Huver May 06, 2005 4:39am EST
    How far off the mark is a film when even the prospect of watching Paris Hilton stalked, terrorized and violently snuffed--in a red bra-and-panty set, no less--fails to viscerally deliver its audience-pleasing promise? Way off.
  • The Polar Express Review
    By: Kit Bowen November 10, 2004 8:37am EST
    Even 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.
  • Gothika Review
    By: Stacie Hougland August 23, 2004 1:28pm EST
    This plane-crossing load of malarkey is not altogether awful until two-thirds in, the exact point when the music stops, you see the abysmal finale coming at you like a brick-loaded train, and you wish you'd rented The Ring instead.

  • Matchstick Men Review
    By: Kit Bowen September 12, 2003 11:29am EST
    With an excellent cast and expert direction, Matchstick Men just may con you into having a rollicking good time. The bonus is you won't mind being "taken" at all.

  • Peter Jackson Hits Pay Dirt With "King Kong"
    By: Guylaine Cadorette August 12, 2003 12:57pm EST
    Although eight-figure salaries are not unheard of for stars such as Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson, they are something of a rarity among Hollywood directors.
  • Ghost Ship Review
    By: Guylaine Cadorette October 25, 2002 1:51pm EST
    Just in time for Halloween, Ghost Ship packs enough scares to make it entertaining, but not enough attention is paid to the story to make it plausible.
