Posted Jun 18, 2010
81% Solitary Man (2010) " Sparkling showcase for Michael Douglas as a disgraced businessman attempting a comeback but brought down by his libido. A strong supporting cast and a witty script almost compensate for a facile finale." — Film Journal International

Posted Sep 25, 2009
82% Paranormal Activity (2009) " The banality of the couple's day-to-day existence when they're not hearing unwelcome guests enhances the sense of realism, but it can be awfully trying for viewers who just want to get to the good stuff already." — Hollywood Reporter

Posted May 28, 2009
33% Terminator Salvation (2009) " McG's revival of the Terminator franchise is a solid actioner, but lacks the entertainment value of James Cameron's landmark originals." — Film Journal International
Posted May 20, 2009
87% Earth (Disneynature's Earth) (Planet Earth) (2009) " Spectacular footage and a low-key ecological message make this first release from the Disneynature label a valuable family offering." — Film Journal International
Posted Apr 20, 2009
72% Monsters vs. Aliens (2009) " Fond 3D salute to old-fashioned monster and alien movies, with a little girl power adding to the demographic, should be a solid hit for DreamWorks Animation." — Film Journal International
