All About Eve (1950) |
Screenwriting students, you have your Bible. Movie lovers, you have a film that is impervious to the rigors of time, not to mention an inspiration for every prime-time soap opera. - Filmcritic.com

Inside Moves (1980) |
There is so much high drama and splendid triumph that the movie loses any basis in reality, so it's impossible to relate to what anyone's enduring - Filmcritic.com

Bustin' Down the Door (2008) |
What makes Bustin' Down the Door so appealing is that it's not about sports but rather about the passion and dedication of some bronzed, mop-haired kids on a mission to become legitimate against all odds - Filmcritic.com

Miami Vice (2006) |
I have no idea why studio executives think Mann is a go-to-guy for summer fare. He's so serious and so concerned with setting a scene and establishing grit that his movies lack coherency or, far more important, fun. - Filmcritic.com
