'King Kong' Movie Review (B)Lee TistaertDecember 20, 2005

Unless you?re a devoted fan of the book, the 145 minutes to endure is just a whopping bore.
'Syriana' Movie Review (C+)Lee TistaertNovember 24, 2005
Syriana feels like one long intellectual conversation about oil and politics, and that?s the problem: it lacks a punch.

The problem is that only one of the three short films works, and the one that does isn?t even ?extreme.?

We?ve seen this kind of story told so many times before that it?s just infuriatingly boring.
'Two For the Money' Movie Review (C)Lee TistaertOctober 2, 2005
Two for the Money is watch-able, but it?s as straightforward as The Recruit, and it is only tolerable thanks to the performances by Pacino and McConaughey.

The film at least tries to say something profound, which is something to be grateful for.

'A Sound of Thunder' Movie Review (D+)Lee TistaertSeptember 6, 2005
It has been a while since I have seen a movie this laughably bad.

Though well acted and terrifically directed, {it} fumbles in its pace and is confused about what type of film it is trying to be.
'Broken Flowers' Movie Review (C+)Lee TistaertAugust 31, 2005
It?s slow and meditates in various settings where not much happens, and features Bill Murray?s constant melancholy expression.
'The Brothers Grimm' Movie Review (C+)Lee TistaertAugust 29, 2005

Armed with one of the most bland and generic titles of the year, The Cave is just that ? bland and generic.
'Sky High' Movie Review (C-)Lee TistaertAugust 28, 2005
Almost every scene forced me to utter some variation of ?Oh please? at its supreme ridiculousness (or bow my head in embarrassment).

This is a bad movie that I found to be pretty funny, and at times, hysterical.

There is not one ounce of creative material, and the movie pulls all the thriller clich?s that it can get its hands on.
'Last Days' Movie Review (C+)Lee TistaertAugust 11, 2005
Art enthusiasts might marvel over the photography and tracking shots, while others will be lulled into a deep sleep before the movie even gets beyond its opening scene.
'The Skeleton Key' Movie Review (C+)Lee TistaertAugust 10, 2005
It?s nowhere near as creepy as the first Ring and is merely an average by-the-numbers horror movie ? what a surprise.
'The Aristocrats' Movie Review (C+)Lee TistaertJuly 26, 2005
