Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
More time seems to be spent on giving Schwarzenegger corny one-liners than establishing the TX as a genuine threat.

Shoulder Arms
Although it’s been a long time since 1918, there are still lessons to be learned from Shoulder Arms.
The Shape of Things
Thank you Neil LaBute, you bastard. If only there were more like you to challenging us to look a little deeper in the mirror everyday.
Triumph of the Will
As sickening as it might be to watch, it’s this alternate point of view that is important in helping us learn from the past.
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.
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.
Storytelling
While Solondz tries and tries hard, Storytelling fails to provide much more insight than the inside column of a torn book jacket.
Possession
A stuffy film disguised as a romance/ thriller/ Nancy Drew-Hardy Boys team-up.
Signs
Shyamalan has done it again. He’s taken a well-used genre, the alien invasion, and given it a spin that focuses on the human psyche rather than the surrounding events.
