Splat 2/4
Cadillac Records (2008)

Capote (2005)
"Hoffman's Truman Capote is an exacting portrayal. "

Christmas with the Kranks (2004)
"That Santa Clause guy, Tim Allen, dashes through the winter sludge of another Christmas Carol knockoff."

"Much of what makes the first Narnia movie work is, literally, missing in action in the spiritless sequel."
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005)

Splat 5/10
Crank (2006)

Crossover (2006)
"Clunky, cliché-filled and embarrassingly melodramatic."
Tomato 3.5/4
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
