• Red Cliff 4-star-rating.gif
John Woo's mega-budget war history impresses with spectacular battle sequences, mindless fun.

• Mammoth 3-5-star-rating.gif
A deeply touching and personal family drama... but a little plot would've been nice.
For the full review, click here.

• Broken Embraces 3-star-rating.gif 
A wonderful vehicle for Penelope Cruz, but a clunky, soap opera-like story surrounds her. 
For the full review, click here.

• The Twilight Saga: New Moon 2-5-star-rating.gif
Vastly better than the original Twilight, but still dragged down by a vapid story. 
For the full review, click here.

• Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans 2-star-rating.gif
Port of Call New Orleans - Herzog and Cage make for a baffling combo in this lost remake.
For the full review, click here.

• The Missing Person 2-star-rating.gif
A wannabe postmodern noir, but its rigid structure keeps it from capturing the right mood.
