Inland Empire Review
December 08, 2006 5:09am ESTDavid Lynch’s wildly eccentric INLAND EMPIRE is one of the more challenging films you’ll ever endure, if you make it through the whole 179 minutes. It’s a self-indulgent swerve into a ravine of non-sequential, visceral madness

Flags of Our Fathers Review

Basic Instinct 2 Review
March 31, 2006 9:23am ESTGreat sexpectations, nothing more: Despite potboiler moments, Basic Instinct 2 is much more fizzle than sizzle and arrives much too long after the once racy original. We can only hope that Sly uses this as his Rocky VI cautionary tale.

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.

Tyler Perry's Madea's Family Reunion Review
February 24, 2006 10:37am ESTTyler 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.
