The Exorcist Review
Director William Friedkin’s adaptation of William Peter Blatty’s horror classic is still scary after all these years thanks to a beautiful and much-deserved restoration.
Director William Friedkin’s adaptation of William Peter Blatty’s horror classic is still scary after all these years thanks to a beautiful and much-deserved restoration.
A sadly, surprisingly, almost disturbingly dull retread of ‘Ghostbusters’ by director Ivan Reitman. The cast and the audience’s time are sorely wasted.
Writer Charlie Kaufman spins another tale of the search for love among the maladjusted, this one a head-spinning combination of “Groundhog Day” and “Memento”, featuring Jim Carrey’s best performance to date.
Steven Soderbergh tones down his signature style for this rote Hollywood David and Goliath story supported by fine performances by Julia Roberts and Albert Finney.
‘Entrapment’ wants to be a throwback to the gentleman-thief caper films of the 60s.
Relentlessly silly holiday tale about a human raised by elves who travels to New York to find his long-lost father. The perfectly cast Will Ferrell supports the entire film until its ridiculous Central Park finale.
There is an inherent irony in Ron Howard’s new film, but is that enough?
"Election,", Alexander Payne’s alarmingly insightful film about adolescent ‘morals and ethics,’ happily continues a new trend in recent films.
An attempt to do for the mutant insect genre what “Scream” did for Slasher movies fails to rise above its iffy source material. Even the giant spiders don’t look very into it.
Director Ron Howard adapts the classic Dr. Seuss tale into a wildly uneven mess that even a near-brilliant performance by Jim Carrey can’t save.
