  • Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story Review
    By: Kit Bowen October 21, 2005 2:02pm EST
    As yet another underdog/family flick that tugs mercilessly at our heart strings, Dreamer just doesn’t offer anything new and exciting in this well-worn genre.
  • Just Like Heaven Review
    By: Jennifer Simonovic September 16, 2005 5:05am EST
    Just Like Heaven is sweet enough for some but it's going to be "just like hell" for boyfriends who are dragged kicking and screaming to this boring chick flick.
  • Rize Review
    By: Nicholas White June 30, 2005 10:37am EST
    Rize is an 85-minute head-nodding maelstrom of pent-up human energy, bustin' to get out. Its larger themes are mostly effective, if familiar. See it for an appreciation of not only music, but the resiliency and sensitivity of the human spirit.
  • Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith Review
    By: Kit Bowen May 19, 2005 9:57am EST
    If you can use Jedi mind tricks to gloss over the trite dialogue and stiff acting, Revenge of the Sith is going to give you the big Star Wars payoff you've been waiting for. And we do mean big.
  • The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Review
    By: Shawn Dwyer April 29, 2005 7:17am EST
    Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy fans will admire the striking visual effects, laugh at familiar scenes and leave the theater satisfied, though a little disappointed with the left-out bits. But the inside jokes and loopy antics could throw the general population into a panic--a violation of the Guide's golden rule.
  • Racing Stripes Review
    By: Kit Bowen January 14, 2005 7:18am EST
    Save for a few hilarious performances by the most unlikely of farm animals, Racing Stripes is pretty standard family fare without too many charming moments.

  • Alexander Review
    By: Steven Trautmann November 24, 2004 5:58am EST
    Oliver Stone has delivered the quintessential Hollywood version of Alexander. Action, sex, treachery, conspiracy, the film puts the "pick" in "epic."
  • 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.
