King Arthur (2004) |
Historical epics produced by Jerry Bruckheimer have every right to be battle-filled and extremely loud. Extremely boring is not acceptable, however. - Palo Alto Weekly

The Ladykillers (2004) |
Each of the characters is occasionally laugh-out-loud funny, and if you can go into this comedy with low expectations, you may emerge refreshed. Considering what this movie might have been, though, makes me long for the old Coen Brothers magic. - Palo Alto Weekly

Starsky & Hutch (2004) |
The zany buddy-picture chemistry of Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson works wonderfully... - Palo Alto Weekly

50 First Dates (2004) |
This is a potentially sweet and interesting romantic comedy which keeps going for the poo-poo jokes. - Palo Alto Weekly

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004) |
If Disney Pictures is looking to pander to the lowest urges of emerging girlhood, they have succeeded in this tacky and boring after-school special. - Palo Alto Weekly

Duplex (2003) |
DeVito keeps hurling handfuls of well-funded excrement on the screen and expects us to think it's funny. - Palo Alto Weekly

28 Days Later (2002) |
Though this movie is not for the faint of heart, it was made with an inventiveness and panache which somewhat sweetens the dismayingly dark vision of the future it explores. - Palo Alto Weekly

My Fellow Americans (1996) |
It's a buddy film. It's a conspiracy thriller. It's a political parody. What it isn't is a particularly funny movie. - Palo Alto Weekly

She's All That (1999) |
Considering that all of us (even, one surmises, the young viewers smack in the hairlines of this movie's demographic gunsights) can guess where this story is going, why is the last third of this film so unrelentingly slow? - Palo Alto Weekly

Eyes Wide Shut (1999) |
There is a lot of frustrating, rough going in this supremely controlled and visually enticing enterprise. Still, it is Kubrick, and confused intensity from this director is a better bet than nearly anyone else's best work. - Palo Alto Weekly
