    William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice (2004)

    " Is it unreasonable to reserve lauding an actor until he's actually made eye contact with another and convinced me that he is in and of that moment?"

    Calendar Girls (2003)

    " As throwaway as last year's calendar... lacks credible dramatic tension."

    In the Cut (2003)

    " [an] increasingly over-cooked stew of allegory and metaphor "

    Prey for Rock & Roll (2003)

    " After covering rape, child abuse, revenge, patricide, and death...the film's valedictory justification for Jackie's carrying on with the band--"I just love rock and roll"--is trite."

    Dummy (2003)

    " Star Illeana Douglas and writer/director Greg Pritikin answer questions about the new romantic comedy DUMMY, also starring Adrien Brody and Milla Jovovich."

    Dummy (2003)

    " Packing in a clutch of well-rounded characters in farcical (but just short of far-fetched) situations, DUMMY takes its lead from the romantic-screwball comedies of the 1930s and '40s."

    Short Eyes (1977)

    " Davison's performance aside, Short Eyes is barely more than a period curio."

    Bend It Like Beckham (2003)

    " Chadha's slight comedy-drama might have found itself in the same league as Billy Elliot, Brassed Off, or The Full Monty, but instead is strictly second division fare."

    Solaris (2002)

    " Prolonged shots of Clooney's naked rear may interest some, but his limitations as an actor are equally exposed."

    The Four Feathers (2002)

    " Without a meatier subtext, all we are left with is the bones of the story, the cheekbones of the actors, and the finery of the costumes."

    Possession (2002)

    " La Bute contrasts the richness of the Victorians' lives with the blandly post-modern Roland and Maud, suggesting that living life vicariously is no match for the real thing."

    Spider-Man (2002)

    " Shot with the panache and bold stylistic form of the comic books, but there is a static feel to the large-scale action scenes."
