Vanilla Sky
Cast: Tom Cruise Studio: Paramount Rating: 5/10 Vanilla Sky has a lot going for it. Great actors like Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz and a pretty good director in Cameron Crowe. But was this remake better to have just been given the Crouching Tiger treatment and dubbed for English? David Aames (Tom Cruise) appears to…

Ocean’s Eleven
Cast: George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Catherine Zeta-Jones Studio: Warner Bros. Rating: 5/10 Ocean’s Eleven is a loose remake of a film made way back when the Rat Pack was where it was at.

Smash Mouth – Smash Mouth
Artist: Smash Mouth Title: Smash Mouth Label: Interscope Rating: 5/10 Smash Mouth has a new album out? Who cares? That sounds harsh, but even after listening to the self-titled album, I’m still wondering. Smash Mouth is so content just making the same old happy la la music, as usual. That is all well and good,…

MX Rider
Game: MX Rider Platform: PS2 Studio: Infogrames Rating: 5/10 MX Rider is a pretty good motocross simulation. Look: With a game that’s high octane, you expect it to react well. Infogrames did a great job in that respect. There never seems to be a lag as the graphics are quick and clear. It’s pretty impressive…

Shaun Palmer’s Pro Snowboarder
Game: Shaun Palmer’s Pro Snowboarder Platform: PS2 Studio: Activision Rating: 5/10 You’d assume that because Activision also made Tony Hawk, Shaun Palmer’s Pro Snowboarder couldn’t go wrong. Look: This really is the only positive in the game: the characters look good, the terrain looks great. Feel: The game is set up a lot like Tony…

Kid Rock – Cocky
Artist: Kid Rock Title: Cocky Label: Atlantic Rating: 7.5/10 There is nowhere for Kid Rock to go, is there? It’s up or it’s down. Now with Cocky, the Kid is back and he wants to prove he’s more than a one trick pony. The album’s first single, “Forever”, is nothing great. If anything, it’s pretty…
