Reviews

Get Shorty (Special Edition) (1995)

By Jesse Hassenger

Sonnenfeld keeps all of this under two hours by cutting the movie at a dazzling clip. The film moves like Travolta, quickly and with style. [17 February 2005]

Men In Black II (2002)

By Cynthia Fuchs

What the sequel does make abundantly clear is that the apparently accidental harmonies of the first can -- indeed must -- be turned into calculation. [8 July 2002]
