Angels in America (2003) |
|
"The movie not only puts a face on the early days of the AIDS crisis but it is also a re-minder that more needs to be done to rid the planet of this horrible plague." | |

Darkman (1990) |
|
"Fourteen years later, I'm still talking about this dark and amusing film. Sam Raimi is a magnificent filmmaker and deserves far more credit than he receives." | |

Dear God (1996) |
|
"This shows Greg Kinnear at his most forced. Director Garry Marshall should've given Kinnear and the other actors more depth before taking it to the silver screen." | |

Gypsy 83 (2001) |
|
"The lesson here is that gay Goths should never trust frat dudes and bosomy Stevie Nicks wannabes should avoid handsome, hitchiking Amish guys. They'll only break your heart." | |

Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) |
|
"There is a lot of imagination in this wacky ride of a film that would make 'The Dude' from The Big Lebowski very happy." | |

Kinsey (2004) |
|
"Neeson's portrayal of Kinsey is letter-perfect and helps us sympathize with a man who is often misunderstood and even vilified by some." | |

Latter Days (2004) |

"This semi-autobiographical film has its charming moments, and while a bit cliched in parts, makes for an interesting drama." | |

Off the Map (2005) |

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005) |

Team America: World Police (2004) |
|
"I give credit to satirists Parker and Stone for having the wherewithal to slaughter sacred cows and show that hypocrisy is evident on both sides of the political aisle." | |

Woman, Thou Art Loosed (2004) |
|
"While the acting is adequate, it has a low-budget, melodramatic 'ABC Afterschool Special' quality to it that would make it more appropriate for airing on Lifetime or BET." | |
