Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
D 22% Taking Lives (2004) " A good thriller ought to make you leave the theater frightened and exhilarated. I left the theater hoping Jolie would someday make another decent movie." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Mar 19, 2004
25% Bewitched (2005) " Ephron's latest begins as a promising soufflé of a movie and becomes a muddled mess. " — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Jun 24, 2005
14% Welcome To Mooseport (2004) " "Mooseport" isn't nearly as good as it could have been, and I couldn't help blaming that on Ray Romano's dreadfully unfunny presence." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Feb 20, 2004
D+ 45% The Day After Tomorrow (2004) " "The Core." "Armageddon." These are disastrously bad disaster films "The Day After Tomorrow" has the under-whelming task of topping- and it doesn't raise the bar one bit." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted May 28, 2004
C+ 2% Twisted (2004) " In essence, "Twisted" is yet another installment in the Ashley Judd " I know how to kick some ***" series." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Feb 27, 2004
C+ 71% Something's Gotta Give (2003) " If life was like a Nancy Meyers' movie, it would be glossy, gift rapped, and always have a happy ending. It would also offer no surprises." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Dec 12, 2003
B- 23% Dirty Dancing - Havana Nights (2004) " Expecting a total debacle, I'll admit to being pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable the movie was- up until its lackluster finale." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Feb 27, 2004
B 26% The Stepford Wives (2004) " If the 1975 adaptation "The Stepford Wives" is the film equivalent of black coffee, director Frank Oz's version seems chock full of cream and sugar." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Jun 11, 2004
B 55% The Ladykillers (2004) " More amusing than laugh-out loud funny, "The Ladykillers" may be entertaining, but it's definitely flawed." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Mar 26, 2004
72% William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice (2004) " Radford's engaging "Merchant" challenges modernized, experimental Shakespeare. His characters are outfitted in corsets and tunics; they speak in flawless verse." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Jan 29, 2005
81% The Manchurian Candidate (2004) " Jonathan Demme's "The Manchurian Candidate" explodes on the screen in red, white, and blue- the kind of mock patriotism that can only add to "Farenheit 911"'s stir." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Jul 30, 2004
86% Nowhere in Africa (Nirgendwo in Afrika) (2001) " ...historically enriching, always entertaining, Nowhere in Africa is a DVD worth purchasing." — DVDFanatic.com
Posted Sep 25, 2003
79% Gas Food Lodging (1992) " Gas Food Lodging is a quiet, introspective film with several remarkable scenes, the most effective of which occur in silence." — DVDFanatic.com
Posted Sep 23, 2003
B+ 43% The Clearing (2004) " Despite moments of thriller-esque intensity, "The Clearing" is far more of a realistic character study/romance than a hollywoodized action pic." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Jul 9, 2004
B+ 64% Spartan (2004) " Mamet creates a slew of characters that sometimes play like animated Walmart dolls. Despite this, the plot is just terrific- taut, tense, and constantly exciting." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Mar 12, 2004
B+ 72% Girl With a Pearl Earring (2004) " Has done a meticulous job, creating a repressed Dutch world in which unveiled hair is more erotic than the standard nude scene." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Jan 9, 2004
A- 77% Big Fish (2003) " Burton's "Big Fish" Is An Exciting Fantasy for the Entire Family." — Eclipse Magazine
