Tomato 3/4 |
Eastern Promises (2007) |

Matt Brunson |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Elf (2003) |

Matt Brunson |
Splat 1/4 |
Enough (2002) |
"A sleazy exploitation flick disguised as a serious message movie about a nutcase who beats his wife, this ultimately has as much to do with spousal abuse as The Wizard of Oz does with agriculture in Kansas." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 1/4 |
Envy (2004) |
"Barry Levinson, an accomplished director whose bombs are now starting to outnumber his hits, can do absolutely nothing with newcomer Steve Adams' perfectly dreadful script." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Escape from New York (1981) |
"Russell's iconic character is so enjoyable to watch that it's a shame his only other screen appearance was in the dim-witted sequel Escape from L.A." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) |

The Express (2008) |
"There's nothing daring in the least about The Express, which, like most real-life sports stories co-opted by Hollywood, strips the achievements of any individuality or historical worth and renders them all part of the same gumbo of sticky cliches." |
