"The preposterous "88 Minutes" is a serial killer movie starring Al Pacino's festival of hair." -- Chicago Tribune

"Monaghan’s comic timing saves this go-nowhere affair from 100 percent lousiness, and I couldn’t really tell you why; she doesn’t earn any laughs, exactly; there are none, but she’s charming and she makes tiny bits of a stuporous flop slightly less grim." -- Chicago Tribune

"In its genre writer-director Sue Kramer's film sets a new record for bright shining peepers and dimply smirks. It's enough to kill Buster Keaton's entire family." -- Chicago Tribune

"Now and then one character accuses another of glorifying violence, 'that brute vigilante junk.' Talk about hypocrisy: Without the brute vigilante junk, this 82-minute picture would be approximately 2 minutes long." -- Chicago Tribune

"Is this the best we can do in the realm of star-driven commercial comedy? If so, I'll take Norbit. I'll take Because I Said So. I'll take I'll Take Sweden." -- Chicago Tribune

"Who says they don't write good women's roles anymore? The females on view fall into two prototypes: Hot Tub Chippie No. 2 or Plastic Surgery Fire Sale Victim No. 3." -- Chicago Tribune

Shottas (2006)13%

"Every beat of the picture has the ring of pushy inauthenticity, and despite all the outre eccentricities, a plodding lack of uniqueness." -- Chicago Tribune

Running with Scissors (2006)29%

"A half-silly, half-earnest indie with the soul of a John Hughes-era sex comedy." -- Chicago Tribune

"Gaidry has no real character to play and brings little of her own spark to a desultory character study." -- Chicago Tribune

"Watching scene after scene linger and expire in this haplessly faithful version of the 1946 Robert Penn Warren novel, it's impossible to tell what compelled adapter-director Steven Zaillian to address the material in the first place." -- Chicago Tribune

"My Super Ex-Girlfriend sets the cause of psychotic superheroines back about 30 years. The movie roils with more unexamined hostility towards women than a roomful of Taliban clerics." -- Chicago Tribune

"Islam, Spencer asserts at one point, stands as the only big-league religion that 'mandates violence against non-believers.' Considering what has been done to whom in the name of other religions, that may well end up being the funniest line of 2006." -- Chicago Tribune

"Instead of anti-melodrama laced with surprising moments of comedy, which Chekhov managed, The Sisters settles for bloodless melodrama." -- Chicago Tribune

"No point in labeling this a horror film. This is a sadism film, and while all good and great horror films know what sadism tastes like, a sadism film settles for nothing of lasting, imaginative horror." -- Chicago Tribune

Saw II (2005)36%

"It dares you to care about any of its people or incidents or sentiments, foisting the characters' little comic quirks on the audience like they're fenced goods." -- Chicago Tribune

"It's a long slog, not because what the film says is provocative but because the technique is as slack as the writing." -- Chicago Tribune

"Supercross racing may be an exciting spectator sport and even more rapturous for the participants, but none of that noisy exhilaration has made its way into Supercross." -- Chicago Tribune
