| The Producers (2005) | "
There's a song in the stage musical version of 'The Producers' that, if you flipped the title to pose the opposite question, could summarize the letdown diehard fans will feel if they catch the new movie of Mel Brooks' gloriously retro Broadway smash." Posted Dec 27, 2005 |

| Proof (2005) | "
The play, with all of its key surprises and biting exchanges intact, is up there on the screen. But given the depth and fascinating pull of Auburn's writing, that's a good thing." Posted Sep 23, 2005 |

| Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003) | "
Fantastic images aside, Sinbad isn't much more than the tale of a 'bad' guy getting in touch with his good side, as well as a love story that makes monster-loving little boys go 'yuck!' And that's what's too bad about Sinbad." Posted Jul 2, 2003 |

| Daddy Day Care (2003) | "
Daddy Day Care is one of those 'trailer' movies: All the good stuff, such as it is, is shown in the previews. But padded to feature length, the movie is mediocre." Posted May 9, 2003 |
