A movie about a 16-year-old girl's unplanned pregnancy, Juno manages to avoid any significant emotional depths, despite its plainly complex subject.  Film ReviewThe Kingdomby Cynthia Fuchs[28.Sep.07] :.

Film DVD ReviewCatch and Release (2006)by Matt Mazur[14.May.07] :.

Lo glow, the promotional blitz, the Marvel machine. No matter. Bring the pain. Daredevil (2003)by Todd R. Ramlow[13.Feb.03] :. The good news is that Johnson's Daredevil follows Marvel's disability politics. Catch Me If You Can (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[26.Dec.02] :. Steven Spielberg's zippy new film is about the kind of 'truth' that might only be apprehended in its telling. PopMatters - Television - Reviews - Time of Your Lifeby Susan BrownTime of Your Life, Jennifer Love Hewitt’s first starring vehicle since leaving Party of Five, is, if nothing else, an interesting failure. At first, it seemed like ideal... Aliasby Cynthia FuchsWhen Syd learns, in the first episode of 'Alias', that she's been working for the bad guys all along, she wants out. But of course, they won't let her out. Tres 'La Femme Nikita'. Dude, Where’s My Car? (2000)by Susan GlenIt comes down to this: it's pretty pathetic when you go to the $5 matinee and want $4 back at the end.
