One of only two movies that I have turned off because they are so bad. Lousy acting, lousy story, lousy characters, stupid situations, etc.... Full review

Great performance by Keeanu Reeves and Cameron Diaz really good, and worth watching unlike some movies. Really fun to watch... Full review

Cameron Diaz and Keanu Reeves are allegedly dating, Spencer Pratt wants to be the next Brad Pitt, Michael Jackson's gay lover speaks, Hayden Panettiere is dating the Pink Taco dude, Lindsay Lohan loses her phone and Penelope Cruz gets thicker. ... Full Article

The set up is normal folks in non-theatrical crime settings. I mean really, sure Travolta was fun to watch in Swordfish , but come on, "The world's most dangerous spy is hired by the CIA to coerce a computer hacker... ... Full Article

In the early '80s, the phrase ''independent film'' was easy enough to define. It meant a movie made outside the Hollywood system, one that starred actors you'd never heard of and, in all likelihood, concerned itself with the higher spiritual... ... Full Article

IF JACK Nicholson and Jessica Lange - in their prime - had starred in "Feeling Minnesota," the movie might have had some sense of sensuality, gravity and humor. ... Full Article

Mention of 1996 will always leave a sour taste in the mouths of critics. In a year with almost 300 films released, I only bothered to see fewer than 100 of them at the theater (typically I see half). ... Full Article
