Reviews

Child’s Play: Chucky’s 20th Birthday Edition

By Evan Sawdey

For a movie to be franchised to death, it has to be great to begin with, and Child's Play, retains all of its punch two decades later. Heidy-ho! [31 October 2008]

Persian Fire by Tom Holland

By Tim O'Neil

Holland manages to synthesize the scope and emotion of his classical sources without sacrificing an iota of historical stringency. [28 September 2006]
