The Jacket (2005)
"Starts out like a ball of jittery fire ... but becomes increasingly, distressingly square as it nears the homestretch. Its theory could stand a little more chaos."
Andrew Wright
Jarhead (2005)
"Puzzlingly hollow .... Although its portrayal of war as tedious hell scores points for novelty, the lack of a discernable point of view considerably limits the film's impact."

"Interview with George Ratliff"
Tomato
"Supremely assured ... a creepily black comedy that eschews huge campy shocks in favor of a bunch of little nonchalant stings that add up to something fierce."
Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)
"The comin'-at-ya effects are certainly state of the art ... but any hopes that the film might blaze new trails are squashed the first time someone picks up a paddleball. Kids should lap it up; for anyone else, Dramamine is advised."
