War of the Worlds (2005) D.K. Holm WotW is a great film and entertainment that can be taken seriously; Shyamalan and Emmerich must be quietly shaking their fists, realizing he still does it better. EDIT

Posted Feb 8, 2005

Posted Feb 8, 2005

Posted Jan 15, 2005
0/4 Phantoms (1998) Michael Dequina Quickly degenerates from X-Files to Baywatch Nights once the culprit is ultimately revealed. EDIT
Posted Jan 8, 2005

Posted Nov 5, 2004
Garden State (2004) D.K. Holm Peter Saarsgard's role in Garden State is one of the main reasons to see the film. EDIT
Posted Oct 29, 2004

Posted Oct 29, 2004
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) D.K. Holm The Day After Tomorrow is enjoyable in its junky way. EDIT
Posted May 30, 2004
The Saddest Music in the World (2003) D.K. Holm If I were to recommend one work to someone who had never seen a Maddin movie it would be Saddest Music. EDIT
Posted May 15, 2004

Posted Apr 25, 2004

Posted Mar 12, 2004
Twisted (2004) D.K. Holm Twisted's tale could have done with a little bit of Joe Eszterhas flamboyance. EDIT

Against the Ropes (2004) D.K. Holm The horror of Against the Ropes is that a screenwriter had a real person in front of her with an interesting, complicated story yet deemed her not "cinematic" enough. EDIT

Posted Feb 9, 2004

Posted Nov 5, 2003
