  • Lady in the Water Review
    By: Kit Bowen July 21, 2006 5:13am EST
    The 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.
  • Cars Review
    By: Kit Bowen June 09, 2006 1:16pm EST
    Pixar’s latest visual stunner with a heart of gold honors our obsession with the automobile. Although it will make many nostalgic for the open road, especially the historic Route 66, the kids might get a little bored with this one.
  • See No Evil Review
    By: Mike Szymanski May 19, 2006 11:48am EST
    If you like stories about psychotic killers, See No Evil will make Halloween’s Mike Myers look like a sissy.
  • The Wild Review
    By: Kit Bowen April 14, 2006 6:02am EST
    In 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.
  • The Notorious Bettie Page Review
    By: Nicholas White April 14, 2006 5:24am EST
    Hot and bothered, Notorious Bettie Page is a sensual indie, coming from the same irony-splattered, brutal minds who brought us American Psycho.
  • Tyler Perry's Madea's Family Reunion Review
    By: Brian Marder February 24, 2006 10:37am EST
    Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Family Reunion provides little more than very good acting. Tyler Perry’s uneven story matches his uneven story-telling and makes one wonder how this really works so well on the stage.
  • Curious George Review
    By: Kit Bowen February 13, 2006 10:36am EST
    Curious George certainly caters to the six and under set. But take comfort in knowing that bolstered by rich animation, comic antics and a pop soundtrack, Curious George is an adorable and heartening adaptation that does the classic children’s tale justice.
  • Big Momma's House 2 Review
    By: Brian Marder January 27, 2006 9:34am EST
    Big Momma's House 2 is precisely what you'd expect from a sequel whose title no longer has any affiliation with the current "story": a few harmless, lowbrow laughs, all of which are forever indebted to the formulas of crap past.
  • The New World Review
    By: Sharon Knolle January 20, 2006 11:25am EST
    Definitely not Disney’s Pocahontas, but you can still bring the whole family to this gorgeous historical epic, which boasts one of the most beautiful and moving big-screen romances in years.
  • The Ringer Review
    By: Brian Marder December 23, 2005 6:14am EST
    Masquerading 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.
