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.

Love's Labour's Lost

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

Once again, James McAvoy lifts technically sub-standard fare to something far more compelling.

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.

Where the Wild Things Are

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