21 titles
- DirectorWolfgang PetersenStarsBrad PittEric BanaOrlando BloomAn adaptation of Homer's great epic, the film follows the assault on Troy by the united Greek forces and chronicles the fates of the men involved.A brawny, entertaining spectacle, but lacking emotional resonance.
- DirectorStephen SommersStarsHugh JackmanKate BeckinsaleRichard RoxburghThe famed monster hunter is sent to Transylvania to stop Count Dracula, who is using Dr. Frankenstein's research and a werewolf for nefarious purposes.A hollow creature feature that suffers from CGI overload.
- DirectorAndrew AdamsonKelly AsburyConrad VernonStarsMike MyersEddie MurphyCameron DiazShrek and Fiona travel to the Kingdom of Far Far Away, where Fiona's parents are King and Queen, to celebrate their marriage. When they arrive, they find they are not as welcome as they thought they would be.It may not be as fresh as the original, but topical humor and colorful secondary characters make Shrek 2 a winner in its own right.
- DirectorMark WatersStarsLindsay LohanJonathan BennettRachel McAdamsCady Heron is a hit with The Plastics, the A-list girl clique at her new school, until she makes the mistake of falling for Aaron Samuels, the ex-boyfriend of alpha Plastic Regina George.Elevated by a brilliant screenplay and outstanding ensemble cast, Mean Girls finds fresh, female-fronted humor in the high school experience.
- DirectorTony ScottStarsDenzel WashingtonChristopher WalkenDakota FanningIn Mexico City, a former CIA operative swears vengeance on those who committed an unspeakable act against the family he was hired to protect.Man on Fire's solid action and top-shelf cast are undone by a relentlessly grim story that gets harder to take the longer it goes on.
- DirectorDaniel TaplitzStarsJamie FoxxGabrielle UnionMorris ChestnutInspired by his fiancée (who dumped him), a man publishes a break-up hand-book for men, becoming a best-selling author in the process.This formulaic screwball comedy is weighed down by a contrived, overly complicated plot.
- DirectorGary WinickStarsJennifer GarnerMark RuffaloJudy GreerUnpopular schoolgirl Jenna Rink makes an unusual wish on her birthday. Miraculously, her wish comes true and the 13-year-old Jenna wakes up the next day as a 30-year-old woman.Although the plot leaves a lot to be desired, 13 Going on 30 will tug at your inner teenager's heartstrings thanks in large part to a dazzling performance from Jennifer Garner.
- DirectorDennie GordonStarsMary-Kate OlsenAshley OlsenEugene LevyTwo sisters who just can't get along have to travel to New York City together and find themselves on numerous misadventures in order to accomplish their goals.Feels more like a calculated product designed to expand the Olsens' brand than an actual movie. Also, it contains ethnic stereotyping and sexual innuendo.
- DirectorPeter HowittStarsPierce BrosnanJulianne MooreParker PoseyAmidst a sea of litigation, two New York City divorce lawyers find love.A bland and forgettable copy of Adam's Rib.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsUma ThurmanDavid CarradineMichael MadsenThe Bride continues her quest of vengeance against her former boss and lover Bill, the reclusive bouncer Budd, and the treacherous, one-eyed Elle.Kill Bill: Volume 2 adds extra plot and dialogue to the action-heavy exploits of its predecessor, while still managing to deliver a suitably hard-hitting sequel.
- DirectorBarry LevinsonStarsBen StillerJack BlackRachel WeiszA man becomes increasingly jealous of his friend's newfound success.Jack Black and Ben Stiller fail to wring laughs from a script that's essentially one extended poop joke.
- DirectorFrank M. CaloNick HammStarsRobert De NiroGreg KinnearRebecca RomijnA couple agree to have their deceased son cloned, under the supervision of an enigmatic doctor, but bizarre things start to happen several years after his rebirth.A murky thriller with few chills, Godsend features ludicrous dialogue, by-the-numbers plotting, and an excess of cheap shocks.
- DirectorMorgan SpurlockStarsMorgan SpurlockDaryl IsaacsChemeeka WalkerWhile examining the influence of the fast food industry, Morgan Spurlock personally explores the consequences on his health of a diet of solely McDonald's food for one month.Entertaining doc about the adverse effects of eating fast food.
- DirectorWill FinnJohn SanfordStarsJudi DenchCuba Gooding Jr.Jennifer TillyTo save their farm, the resident animals go bounty hunting for a notorious outlaw.Though Home on the Range is likeable and may keep young children diverted, it's one of Disney's more middling titles, with garish visuals and a dull plot.
- DirectorSergio ArauStarsCaroline AaronTony AbatemarcoMelinda AllenWhen a mysterious fog surrounds the boundaries of California, there is a communication breakdown and all the Mexicans disappear, affecting the economy and the state stops working missing the Mexican workers and dwellers.A Day Without a Mexican is a preachy and heavy-handed satire that fails to deliver anything of substance.
- DirectorKevin BrayStarsDwayne JohnsonAshley ScottJohnny KnoxvilleA former U.S. soldier returns to his hometown to find it overrun by crime and corruption, which prompts him to clean house.The Rock makes a competent hero, but the movie is content to let a 2x4 do all the talking.
- DirectorChristopher ErskinStarsCedric The EntertainerShannon ElizabethShad MossBuckle up for the wildest road trip of the year. A comedy adventure about a misfit family trying to survive outrageous obstacles (including one another) on a cross-country trek to their annual family reunion.The poorly crafted Johnson Family Vacation squanders its talented cast in a bland family road comedy that draws unfavorable comparisons to Chevy Chase's Vacation movies.
- DirectorRaja GosnellStarsFreddie Prinze Jr.Sarah Michelle GellarMatthew LillardThe Mystery Inc. gang must save Coolsville from an attack of their past monsters brought to life by an evil masked figure trying to take down the gang.Only the very young will get the most out of this silly trifle.
- DirectorMel GibsonStarsJim CaviezelMonica BellucciMaia MorgensternDepicts the final twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem.Director Mel Gibson's zeal is unmistakable, but The Passion of the Christ will leave many viewers emotionally drained rather than spiritually uplifted.
- DirectorMichel GondryStarsJim CarreyKate WinsletTom WilkinsonWhen their relationship turns sour, a couple undergoes a medical procedure to have each other erased from their memories forever.Propelled by Charlie Kaufman's smart, imaginative script and Michel Gondry's equally daring directorial touch, Eternal Sunshine is a twisty yet heartfelt look at relationships and heartache.
- DirectorTommy O'HaverStarsAnne HathawayHugh DancyCary ElwesElla is under a spell to be constantly obedient, a fact she must hide from her new stepfamily in order to protect the prince of the land, her friend for whom she's falling.Hathaway is a charming heroine, but the simple storyline gets overwhelmed by silly gimmickry.
