Abandon (2002)

by Brian Holcomb

[26.Jul.07] :. This is one of the best horror films in some time; not sacrificing itself to irony or parody but committed to the dark corners of human nature and the complex labyrinths that exist in the mind.

Batman Begins (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition with Comic Book) (2004)

First Daughter (2004)

by Cynthia Fuchs

by Cynthia Fuchs

Wonder Boys (2000)

by Jonathan Beller

Wonder Boys (2000)

by Todd R. Ramlow

As writer-thinker-upper of the first two Screams, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and the WB's hugely popular Dawson's Creek (and even given the failure of this past fall's network-offering, Wasteland), he has spread out before him a vast space of Yes.
