S.W.A.T. (2003) |
"It has a totally loony narrative, but it is supported by some first class production values and performances, so its silliness never seems tiresome." |
Douglas Pratt |

The Savages (2007) |
"A small, intimate look at a family... but it is, within its own boundaries, nearly perfect." |
David Poland |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Seabiscuit (2003) |
"(Seabiscuit) is a mixed feedbag of hackneyed cliche and inspired drama. In a curious way it has a pace and momentum not unlike a racehorse. It is a slow starter with a pecular gait that rapidly builds up speed and finishes a winner by a nose at the wire." |
Leonard Klady |
Splat |
Shrek the Third (2007) |
"I can't say that it hurt to watch. Truth is, it was so nothing that it inspired no feelings at all%u2026 other than disappointment." |

Tomato |
The Skeleton Key (2005) |
"A passable supernatural thriller shot in New Orleans shortly before the storm" |

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004) |
"If you accept that the 2004 film is an animated cartoon adventure, then the movie can be fully enjoyable." |

The Soloist (2009) |

"Something's Gotta Give news and pictures from all over." |

The Spanish Apartment (2003) |
"While there’s considerable craft, artistry and entertainment in the film, the enterprise is a bit too chaotic and unfocused to wield much of a punch." |

"Spidey 2 News from Across The Globe" |

Splat 7.5/10 |
Star Trek (2009) |
"Amazing sound, a ton of fury, signifying nothing... So densely orchestrated that the film never gives the audience a moment to breath it all in." |
David Poland |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Star Trek (2009) |
" The battle sequences in the first seven or so minutes of opening sequence, with Kirk's mother laboring to bring him into the world while his father fights to buy enough time to save everyone, are worth the price of admission alone." |
Kim Voynar |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Star Trek (2009) |
"The movie, typically for Abrams, is almost continuously exciting." |
Michael Wilmington |
Splat C- |
Star Trek: Generations (1994) |
"Just having William Shatner and Patrick Stewart share the screen is a fan's nocturnal emission, but the hoped-for grand finale is a fizzle." |

Summer Hours (2009) |
"One of my favorites of the year is this wonderful French family ensemble film ..." |
Michael Wilmington |
Splat |
Superman Returns (2006) |
"It's terribly cast, poorly conceived, extremely light on action, features a romance that is not remotely romantic, doesn't feature a single memorable, "gosh, that was great" repeat-to-your-friends moment in a positive way..." |
David Poland |

Superman Returns (2006) |
"News, rumours, features and everything Superman." |
MCN Staff |

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) |
