Land of the Lost (2009) |

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) |

The Last Days of World War II (2004) |
"If there's anything the main docu on this set (and indeed, the set itself) proves, it's that my history teachers, for the most part, sucked." |

The Last Samurai (2003) |
"The film is decent, but it's not great. It really needed an editor and a good script doctor to come in and make the thing move like it was at least somewhat alive." |

Lathe of Heaven |
"Either get the book or rent the 1980 PBS version. And if you see this version in the video store, hide it behind the candy so no one else can be subjected to it." |

Law & Order: Criminal Intent - The Premiere Episode (2001) |
