  • Hideous Kinky

    Cast: Kate Winslet Studio: Columbia Rating: 6/10 A little girl runs through a dark cavern screaming frantically for her mother. As the girl falls, Julia (Kate Winslet) awakes from the dark nightmare to find that her daughter, Lucy (Carrie Mullan), is asleep close to her. The picturesque scene begins in an exotic room with colorful […]

  • Hollow Man

    Cast: Kevin Bacon Studio: Columbia Rating: 2/10 “It’s amazing what you can do when you don’t have to look at yourself in the mirror anymore.” That’s the quote of all quotes from this summer’s special effects extravaganza, Hollow Man, perfectly spoken by Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Caine. Even though he parades through half of the […]

  • The Haunting

    Cast: Liam Neeson Studio: Dreamworks Rating: 3/10 It must be disheartening for the makers of The Haunting to hear that the lobby poster is more frightening than the movie. A remake of the 1963 film based on Shirley Jackson’s 1959 book, the 1999 version is not much more than an embarrassment to the legacy. Directed […]

  • Go

    Cast: Katie Holmes Studio: Columbia Rating: 9/10 She has little cash and the rent is due. Ronna (Sarah Polley) must make quick bucks or she’ll be evicted, so she pressures Claire (Katie Holmes) into assisting her in committing a crime. Simon (Nathan Bexton) goes to Las Vegas and steals a car, then gets laid by […]

  • Final Destination

    Cast: Devon Sawa Studio: New Line Cinema Rating: 6.5/10 I went in expecting nothing and came out with a thrill. The big problem now is figuring out how to write my review without spoiling it for the rest of you. Before a plane loaded with high school students is ready to take off for a […]

  • Detroit Rock City

    Cast: Edward Furlong Studio: New Line Cinema Rating: 6.5/10 If you liked Dazed and Confused, you’ll love Detroit Rock City. I sat in a crowd full of people I thought might be a few decades older than the movie’s intended teen audience, but I quickly realized that revisiting the ’70’s is just what they were […]

  • Cookie’s Fortune

    Cast: Patricia Neal Studio: Columbia Rating: 6/10 In a small Mississippi town lives a lonely old woman, Jewel Mae “Cookie” Orcutt (Patricia Neal). Her manor home is a shrine to her late husband, Buck, whom she desperately misses. She shares it with loyal caretaker Willis Richland (Charles S. Dutton), a caring, middle-aged, African-American man who […]

  • Bats

    Cast: Lou Diamond Philips Studio: Dimension Rating: 5/10 If you hear shrieking in the night, it just might be people complaining about wasting their money on Bats, easily one of the worst films I’ve seen in years. I don’t know what in the world makes film companies think movies about super-animals are ever a good […]

  • Battlefield Earth

    Cast: John Travolta Studio: Warner Bros. Rating: 4/10 When an alien race called the Psyclos turns the Earth into a mining colony, it’s up to rebel hero, Johnny Goodboy, to lead a revolt and save the planet from the giant alien species. What a simple synopsis; it’s just too bad Battlefield Earth is the same […]

  • Being John Malkovich

    Cast: John Cusack Studio: USA Rating: 9/10 What in the hell did I just see? At first thought, Being John Malkovich seems to reflect the dreams of every one of us, and our desire to live vicariously through others. That’s my opinion; I urge you to form your own. Although the film’s title is Being […]
