| Sorority Row (2009) | "
The “scary’’ moments are of the sneak-up-on-you-from-behind variety, but there’s little suspense." Posted Sep 14, 2009 |

| Hatchet (2007) | "
It's just not that scary (even the gory sequences are predictable and boring). And it certainly isn't clever or funny." Posted Sep 15, 2007 |

| Redline (2007) | "
Everything you'd expect it to be, and yet so much less: less character development, less believability, and most unforgivably, less escapist entertainment." Posted Apr 16, 2007 |

| Satin Rouge (2002) | "
As improbable as this premise may seem, Abbass's understated, shining performance offers us the sense that on some elemental level, Lilia deeply wants to break free of her old life." Posted Oct 11, 2002 |

| Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars: The Motion Picture (1983) | "
Pennebaker doesn't break any ground here, in what is essentially a linear concert film. But he doesn't need to. Bowie's brilliant -- and, by today's stadium-size standards, intimate -- performance does that for him." Posted Aug 23, 2002 |

| Cuba Feliz (2002) | "
A grittily beautiful film that looks, sounds, and feels more like an extended, open-ended poem than a traditionally structured story." Posted Aug 22, 2002 |

| Ram Dass Fierce Grace (2002) | "
Parts of the film feel a bit too much like an infomercial for Ram Dass's latest book aimed at the boomer demographic. But mostly it's a work that, with humor, warmth, and intelligence, captures a life interestingly lived." Posted Jun 7, 2002 |

Cacoyannis is perhaps too effective in creating an atmosphere of dust-caked stagnation and labored gentility." Posted May 31, 2002 |

A candid and often fascinating documentary about a Pentecostal church in Dallas that assembles an elaborate haunted house each year to scare teenagers into attending services." Posted May 24, 2002 |

It starts slowly, has few dramatic peaks and sketchy character development, and meanders without momentum." Posted May 17, 2002 |

| Deuces Wild (2002) | "
It's tough to tell which is in more abundant supply in this woefully hackneyed movie, directed by Scott Kalvert, about street gangs and turf wars in 1958 Brooklyn -- stale cliches, gratuitous violence, or empty machismo." Posted May 3, 2002 |

| A Walk to Remember (2002) | "
In their zeal to create a character who embodies a wholesome, positive adolescent ideal, the filmmakers have invented an 18-year-old girl with no self-doubt, no emotional weakness, no character flaws, and a crystal-clear complexion." Posted Jan 25, 2002 |
