Splat 2.5/4 |
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) |

Splat 2.5/4 |
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) |

Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 4/4 |
Letters From Iwo Jima (2006) |
"With Letters from Iwo Jima, Eastwood has made one of the select genuine, anti-war films." |

Mark Dujsik |

Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2/4 |
Lucky You (2007) |
