The Dictator (2012)
|
"The Dictator isn't as outrageous or screamingly funny as Borat. There are laughter-free stretches. And yet, the character of Admiral General Aladeen of the North African Republic of Wadiya, begins to grow on us."

The Innkeepers (2012)
|
"Fans of the horror genre can expect to get all nostalgic about the 1970s feel to the action, which most certainly includes people going down the basement, all alone, in the dark, and that sort of thing."

Dragonslayer (2011)
|
"Dragonslayer is an amazing window into a particular part of the culture and how we live now. You'll think about Skreech -- his father's day gift for his son, his new job at a bowling alley -- for a long time after you leave the theatre."

What Women Want (2011)

"This waaay overlong, Mandarin-language remake seems more the result of the kind of marketing-mentality it professes to mock."

Saw III (2006)
|
"Saw III is gross and squirmy, but it's got a lot of brains and heart to go along with its guts. Better than Saw and Saw II combined."

The Others (2001)

"A welcome throwback film to an era when the thriller belonged to actors and the genre was manipulated by directors, not special effects wizards."

Osmosis Jones (2001)

America's Sweethearts (2001)

Baby Boy (2001)
