Bewitched (2005) 23% EDIT “Ephron's latest begins as a promising soufflé of a movie and becomes a muddled mess.” – Eclipse Magazine Jun 24, 2005 Full Review The Merchant of Venice (2004) 72% EDIT “Radford's engaging "Merchant" challenges modernized, experimental Shakespeare. His characters are outfitted in corsets and tunics; they speak in flawless verse.” – Eclipse Magazine Jan 29, 2005 Full Review The Manchurian Candidate (2004) 79% EDIT “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 Jul 30, 2004 Full Review The Clearing (2004) 44% B+ EDIT “Despite moments of thriller-esque intensity, "The Clearing" is far more of a realistic character study/romance than a hollywoodized action pic.” – Eclipse Magazine Jul 9, 2004 Full Review The Stepford Wives (2004) 25% B EDIT “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 Jun 11, 2004 Full Review The Day After Tomorrow (2004) 45% D+ EDIT “"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 May 28, 2004 Full Review The Ladykillers (2004) 54% B EDIT “More amusing than laugh-out loud funny, "The Ladykillers" may be entertaining, but it's definitely flawed.” – Eclipse Magazine Mar 26, 2004 Full Review Taking Lives (2004) 21% D EDIT “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 Mar 19, 2004 Full Review Spartan (2004) 66% B+ EDIT “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 Mar 12, 2004 Full Review Twisted (2004) 2% C+ EDIT “In essence, "Twisted" is yet another installment in the Ashley Judd " I know how to kick some ***" series.” – Eclipse Magazine Feb 27, 2004 Full Review Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (2004) 24% B- EDIT “Expecting a total debacle, I'll admit to being pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable the movie was- up until its lackluster finale.” – Eclipse Magazine Feb 27, 2004 Full Review Welcome to Mooseport (2004) 13% EDIT “"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 Feb 20, 2004 Full Review Girl With a Pearl Earring (2003) 73% B+ EDIT “Has done a meticulous job, creating a repressed Dutch world in which unveiled hair is more erotic than the standard nude scene.” – Eclipse Magazine Jan 9, 2004 Full Review Big Fish (2003) 76% A- EDIT “Burton's "Big Fish" Is An Exciting Fantasy for the Entire Family.” – Eclipse Magazine Dec 29, 2003 Full Review Something's Gotta Give (2003) 72% C+ EDIT “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 Dec 12, 2003 Full Review
