| I heard the tigers got better reviews than you did, Boyd ... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Wookiee door sounds and falling-down-stairs scene were funny, but not enough to make up for the rest of it. * |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skeleton Key | Could have been good. Wasn't. Spanish moss just isn't scary on its own. * |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Real nourishment, even though I couldn't stop staring at that bump between Russell Crowe's eyebrows and the supposedly ravishing Kim Basinger was a wax museum horror. ***** |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Smart, funny, great characters, especially Boyd as an officious nerd of a cop. ***** |
L.A. Confidential | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mrs. MacCready says: Too much snipers, not enough Danilov. I think her brain is frostbitten. **** |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Interesting (and bloody) war story on the Russian front. *** |
Enemy at the Gates | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Two Brothers | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Predictable and corny, but Mrs. MacReady says the cute tigers and cute Boyd make up for that. **** |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I'm not a sentimental fellow, but those tiger cubs would melt a heart of stone. Boyd gets handcuffed again. ***** |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It's like one good movie about a sweet, cute guy and one bad movie about a loathsome, disgusting guy, twisted together like taffy and poo. ** |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Going All the Way | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Good God, Toffler! Who talked you into doing this? You're lucky I disembowelled you so you don't have to live with the shame. ZERO |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The Time Machine | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mrs. MacCready says: A sweet story about the power of the human spirit. You don't always have to be crushed by tragedy; with will, courage and a lot of luck, sometimes you get a second chance. And you get to see Boyd's belly button. ***** |
The Eloi and their fruity bamboo anemometers annoyed me, as did the holographic librarian guy. I laughed at the Morlock costumes until it got old. ** |

| More entertaining than your usual exorcism movie; didn't rely just on the scary exorcism parts to keep you interested. The courtroom scenes kept it tied to reality so you didn't drift into brainless, watching-special-effects mode. The characters weren't as stereotypical and the plot wasn't as predictable as you'd expect. And the ending leaves it open to you to make up your own mind about it. **** |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Exorcism of Emily Rose | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Manages to be frightening without pea soup or pee on the carpet. Legal, medical, anthropological and religious experts present the arguments for and against demon possession in a tense courtroom drama/horror show. **** |
