What could have been an interesting Shakepeare-inspired revenge yarn gets thoroughly diluted by Hollywood’s need for special effects. Hopefully, Jet Li has a better one coming.

Campbell Scott’s wonderfully sardonic performance and freshman writer-director Dylan Kidd’s bristling dialogue make this night in the life of a Manhattan player trying to show his young nephew the ways of the world an incisive exploration of modern social customs.

Hideo Nakata’s meandering, misguided attempt to stretch out the already-thin premise of ‘Ringu.’ The scariest part is how it somehow succeeds only in making the original film seem much worse.

There just isn’t all that much you can do with the killer-video-tape gimmick, but director Hideo Nakata milks it for all it’s worth, with occasionally spooky results.

Handing over the reins to the equally unremarkable director Andrew Witt, video game adaptation specialist Paul WS Anderson pens another underwhelming entry to another underwhelming franchise, this one marred by subpar performances and far too few zombies. In the midst of it all, though, Milla Jovovich proves to be getting good at this action hero thing.
