Kate & Leopold
No chemistry between the stars dooms the picture, but it's Meg who's out of place, not Hugh.

Crank
Actually, the best scene is from the beginning: he passes the Porsche by to get into a 70s muscle car.

The Bridge
The filmmakers knew they had documentary gold, but to actually film the bridge for a year waiting for a death...that's the wrong approach.

Choke
How do you see the world? Pretty sure Palahniuk has an ultra-skewed view.

Alien Trespass
Meh. If I wanted to see an old B-movie sci-fi flick, I could just watch Plan 9 again.

Love's Labour's Lost
With synchronized swimming, floating dancing, and old-time tap, what can go wrong? Actually, the entire second half.

Children of Dune (mini-series)
Once again, James McAvoy lifts technically sub-standard fare to something far more compelling.

Probably been said before, but this is Shakespeare set in the Old West.

Beowulf
Gaiman made Beowulf a letch? And just to create a more complete storyline? Shame on him.

Amazing Grace
After pre-screening 30-odd films for the local film festival, anything with decent production values is a gale of fresh air.

Truly moving. A heartfelt testament to childhood, and discovering how to care for those around you.
