Phone Booth
A modern morality tale complete with Kiefer Sutherland as God’s voice. Okay, so he’s a sniper on the other end of the phone, but with the things he says and the stereo sound he might as well be the Almighty.

Holes
Holes amounts to a look that is hot and leaves you grabbing for the Coke in the cup holder, wiping your brow and pondering a way to check your armpits without the person sitting next to you noticing.
Anger Management
I chuckled quite a bit, but when you have Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson teaming up anything less than laugh-out-loud hilarity has to be considered a major disappointment.
Ghosts of the Abyss
Ghosts of the Abyss is all about the spectacle of a six-story screen and the sensory bombardment of a rope flying at you or bubbles heading for the surface right in front of your nose.
A Man Apart
Despite an interesting take on the role of a tough guy, A Man Apart is a boring and visually annoying rouge cop story.
The Core
As predictable as the tides, as clichéd as a poem that compares a rose with love and as inspiring as a ten-year-old public service announcement.
Old School
Normally you go to a gross-out comedy to get some cheap laughs. You’ll find them here, but Old School really does have something to say.
Daredevil
Unable to secure a good balance of character and plot, director [Mark Steven] Johnson ends up providing something that is at times exhilarating but more often tedious.
Pinocchio (2002)
Every good actor needs to do his or her own Hamlet. For Benigni it wasn’t Shakespeare whom he wanted to define his career with but Pinocchio. It might as well have been Problem Child IV.
Serendipity
I can’t get over the complete reliance on fate even if it is what the movie is all about.
