"No audience member left behind. Asleep maybe, but not behind." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Daredevil (2003) |
""Daredevil" is presented as a far more interesting character than the villains he fights... while Daredevil may not be the most famous comic book character in the Marvel universe, this film interpretation is in no danger of being mistaken for another Roge" |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 4.0/4.0 |
The Dark Knight (2008) |

Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Darkness Falls (2003) |
"There are more than a few images in this film that may linger once the theater empties... just imagine how much money parents could save if they let their little ones watch this...!" |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Splat 1.0/4.0 |
Date Movie (2006) |
"Looting the key scenes and plot points of hit movies is the bread and butter of spoof comedies, but the script for Date Movie is about as funny as dry white toast." |
Kevin A. Ranson |

Deadwood Park (2007) |
"A haunting, cerebral thriller that dangles secrets like candy and pays off sweetly." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.0/4.0 |
Death Race (2008) |
"While the premise creates plenty of entertaining opportunities for violence and destruction, how much better could this have been as a true "cannonball run" coast-to-coast..?" |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Death to Smoochy (2002) |
"... this film embraces an R-rating that can cause damage to a small child's fragile mind (or educate them prematurely.)" |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Splat 1.5/4.0 |
Deja Vu (2006) |
"With two lines of dialogue, The Matrix had more to say about the phenomenon of deja vu than an entire movie with the same title." |

"Should have stayed in the funny pages." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Die Another Day (2002) |
"... there are some inspired sequences, such as an egomaniac's sword duel from hell... but next time, somebody needs to trim the fat to keep the superspy and his film a little less overindulgent." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.0/4.0 |
Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007) |

"Remember when Demi looked good naturally?" |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 2.5/4.0 |
Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009) |
"If you're remaking a classic merely to one-up whoever remade it previously, is it really worth the effort? Fortunately, Jim Carrey decided not to waste a wasted opportunity." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.5/4.0 |
District 9 (2009) |
"... transcends its inspirations by focusing on story, character, and the very human disregard for others until you've walked a mile in their shoes." |

"Get your Mad Max mutant-maniacs-in-monster-machines on." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.5/4.0 |
Doubt (2008) |
"For interplay and intrigue, Doubt weaves a tense, gun-free thriller where the only special effects are a light bulb and a wind machine." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.0/4.0 |

"The evil is back. The Oldsmobile is back. Horror director Sam Raimi is back. What's not to love?" |
