- DirectorPaul HaggisStarsRussell CroweElizabeth BanksLiam NeesonA married couple's life is turned upside down when the wife is accused of a murder.Viewed: 2/4/2012
My Score: 5/10
I haven't seen the original, but I don't see how any version could be much chop. Almost every plot turn relies on a very improbable coincidence, and it just goes on too many times to care anymore. - DirectorTamara JenkinsStarsLaura LinneyPhilip Seymour HoffmanPhilip BoscoA sister and brother face the realities of familial responsibility as they begin to care for their ailing father.Viewed: 3/4/2012
My Score: 7/10
Excellent acting but not as good as a thought it would be. Still enjoyable though. - DirectorMichael HenryStarsDamian de MontemasSophie LoweKestie MorassiA group of young vigilantes seeking revenge for a sexual betrayal fall far from grace. When the truth is out they find themselves on the dark side of justice.Viewed: 3/4/2012
My Score: 7/10
Fairly good but seemingly a bit amatuerish. - DirectorMichael BayStarsShia LaBeoufRosie Huntington-WhiteleyTyrese GibsonThe Autobots learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft hidden on the moon, and race against the Decepticons to reach it and to learn its secrets.Viewed: 5/4/2012
My Score: 5/10
Another disappointing sequel after the surprisingly great first Transformers. - DirectorCatherine HardwickeStarsKristen StewartRobert PattinsonBilly BurkeWhen Bella Swan moves to a small town in the Pacific Northwest, she falls in love with Edward Cullen, a mysterious classmate who reveals himself to be a 108-year-old vampire.Viewed: 5/4/2012
My Score: 6/10
Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, though a gorgeous Kristen Stewart helps make this very watchable. - DirectorJoseph LoseyStarsJeanne MoreauStanley BakerVirna LisiA raw Welsh novelist in Venice is humiliated by a money-loving Frenchwoman who erotically ensnares him.Viewed: 6/4/2012
My Score: 8/10
Very intriguing and well acted film. - DirectorTinto BrassStarsMalcolm McDowellPeter O'TooleHelen MirrenA dramatization of the ascent to Caesar and subsequent reign of Caligula, one of the most notorious leaders of ancient Rome. We see his ambition, his scheming, his perversion and decadence, his brutality and his lunacy.Viewed: 7/4/2012
My Score: 7/10
This is the fully uncensored version, which is much better than the edited version. Things actually make a bit of sense now, and also successfully shocks the viewer, even in this day and age. Still quite hokey, but fun. - DirectorTom McCarthyStarsPeter DinklagePatricia ClarksonBobby CannavaleWhen his only friend dies, a man born with dwarfism moves to rural New Jersey to live a life of solitude, only to meet a chatty hot dog vendor and a woman dealing with her own personal loss.Viewed: 7/4/2012
My Score: 8/10
Very good film. - DirectorGlenn FicarraJohn RequaStarsJim CarreyEwan McGregorLeslie MannA cop turns con man once he comes out of the closet. Once imprisoned, he meets the second love of his life, whom he'll stop at nothing to be with.Viewed: 7/4/2012
My Score: 6/10
I was expecting to really like this, and Jim Carrey is brilliant in it, but couldn't help comparing it to Catch Me if You Can, which is far superior. - DirectorPeyton ReedStarsJim CarreyZooey DeschanelBradley CooperA man challenges himself to say "yes" to everything.Viewed: 7/4/2012
My Score: 6/10
Has its moments but not up to Carrey's other straight comedies. - DirectorRobert SchwentkeStarsEric BanaRachel McAdamsRon LivingstonHenry DeTamble, a librarian, possesses a unique gene that lets him involuntarily travel through time.

A sequel that is superior to the original.

Stephen King horror film has a woman and child trapped in a car by a rabid dog.

My Score: 5/10
A big disappointment that had so much potential. Liam Neeson was a bad casting choice as He played the role way too seriously when in such a ridiculous film He should have hammed it up a bit. Ultimately unpleasing. - DirectorRichard J.
