|
John Oliver
|
"After experiencing 'The Two Towers' you'll realize that 'The Fellowship' was merely a nice appetizer to the extravagant main course. Now we can't wait for dessert!"

Ultimately, "The Hours" just beats us over the head one too many times with its depressing message.

XXX (2002)
|
Ron Bishow
|
A PlayStation game come to life, XXX is a movie almost exclusively dependent on the special effects department and the charm of its leading man, Vin Diesel. But it's sound and fury signifying nothing.
