Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark
Sticks to the familiar but he does it in such a way that it’s still extremely creepy, a little bit campy and, at times, quite a lot of fun.

American Son
Several anti-war films have come along in the past couple of years calling out the war in Iraq. They’ve covered various conspiracies, big personalities and the front lines. But, perhaps, none have been as human as Neil Abramson’s American Son.
Adventureland
Adventureland finds much of its comedy in its often brutal honesty.
Confessions of a Shopaholic
Charm can go a long way in making a film. Or, in the case of Confessions of a Shopaholic, the charm of Isla Fisher makes the film bearable.
Enemy at the Gates
While it does have some solid moments of action, the film as a whole is laughable.
El Dorado
Hawks and his cast and crew make El Dorado seem so easy. It’s like a refined blockbuster that’s confident in hitting its ability to hit the right notes.
Bedtime Stories
Enjoyable, silly and a wee bit whimsical. It’s also treacherously predictable at times, the two leads lack chemistry and it has the token horrible Rob Schneider cameo.
Bolt
Focused, fun and action-packed, Disney’s Bolt proves that it doesn’t need the Pixar banner to make an excellent CG animated film.
Dead Like Me: Life After Death
Life After Death is a disappointing continuation and maybe letting go will be for the best rather than let it continue at an inferior level.
Angel of Mine
With its subject matter, it could have easily delved into the depths of a TV movie of the week filled with melodramatics and distant characterizations.
