Cast: James Van Der Beek Studio: Paramount Rating: 4/10 Though it would seem that Varsity Blues is only a football movie, you’ll soon realize that it’s really about being young and struggling to do the right thing now before the rest of your life finds you with regrets. The movie’s target audience is obviously teens,…

Cast: Robin Williams Studio: Tristar Rating: 2/10 Robin Williams has established himself as one of the most bankable actors to date. His history in film covers a wide spectrum of outrageous comedy and some downright serious drama. After an Academy Award nomination for his role in Dead Poet’s Society, it seems he has found his…

Cast: Rebecca Gayheart Studio: Tristar Rating: 2/10 Never has a movie so wanted to be a movie it wasn’t. Jawbreaker wishes more than anything that it could be Heathers. Sometimes it wants to be Clueless. Strangely, I think it even wanted to be Grease. Instead, Jawbreaker is a Frankenstein of better high school movies, unable…

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…

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…

Cast: Katie Holmes Studio: Columbia Rating: 9/10 She has little cash and the rent is due.
