Reviews

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

I've never been so eager to skip past the story to get to the special features. [1 February 2009]

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Amid all the poorly edited, atrociously written tumult, the silly CGI and the tragic misuse of Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh, Rick remains an appealing throwback hero. [1 August 2008]

Stealth (2005)

Kara's a lovely, leggy, perfectly made-up figure whose primary purpose is to provide moral framing for the boys' brilliant strikes and calculations. [29 July 2005]

XXX (2002)

Xander is a bad ass with a heart of gold. [9 August 2002]

The Skulls (2000)

There is creative genius behind The Skulls. Someone, somehow, managed to pull together a pretty intriguing trailer for this thriller. [1 January 1995]

The Fast and the Furious (2001)

But the movie isn't really about breaking laws, being punished, lamenting Ja Rule's teeny part, or even learning how to be a man. It's really about cars. If that sounds like a metaphor, well, okay.
