Victoria Alexander |
Splat |
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) |
"It’s a movie about luggage." |
Victoria Alexander |
Tomato |
The Dark Knight (2008) |
"Elevates the genre. Ledger triumphs and I loved the bromance between Wayne/Batman and Harvey Dent. Why Maggie Gyllenhaal?" |
Victoria Alexander |
Tomato |
Dawn of the Dead (2004) |
"This remake does not want to annoy us with philosophical trappings. There is no sociological subtext.

Tomato |
The Departed (2006) |

" |
Victoria Alexander |
Tomato |
Derailed (2005) |
