Flashbacks of a Fool (2008)

" Craig’s shaken-but-not-stirred charisma makes the most of an underwritten part, but the movie nearly flat-lines when the actor’s not onscreen, which is often." — L.A. Weekly

The Pink Conspiracy (2007)

" The Pink Conspiracy's solitary gag posits female bonding as a process so deeply malevolent it might give the most embittered misogynist pause." — L.A. Weekly
