	"*With its French Canadian setting and strong (rather, strong-looking) cast, Taking Lives* is elevated above its genre cliches.*" -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA)* Posted Apr 16, 2004	Taking Lives (2004)	22%

	"The Perfect Score is amenable, enjoyable and as quickly forgotten as all those tricks you learned in your SAT prep class." -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted Apr 16, 2004	The Perfect Score (2004)	16%
	"Coming up short on just about everything � from the casting and dialog to the action sequences � Woo rides the high of a strong story into the ground." -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted Jan 8, 2004	Paycheck (2003)	28%
	"...It does achieve, if only intermittently, the aching feelings of love and loss, for both country and countrymen, that Frazier depicted so unforgettably in his novel." -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted Jan 8, 2004	Cold Mountain (2003)	72%
	"The Return of the King delivers the same awe-inspiring visuals as Jackson�s two previous films without ever coming off like it�s simply 'more of the same.'" -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted Dec 23, 2003	The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)	94%
	"...Winds up trying to tug at your heart strings more than strike your funny bone" -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted Dec 18, 2003	Stuck on You (2003)	61%

	"...Although the story�s high on gore and low on almost everything else, Leatherface still inspires a hell of a lot more fear than Freddy or Jason." -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted Nov 5, 2003	The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)	35%

No Rating	"*Seeminlgly not too much more than another tale of a kid trying to make it through the treachery of growing up, Thirteen* shows signs of a nuanced character study.*" -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA)* Posted Oct 1, 2003	Thirteen (2003)	81%
	"*Thankfully the director who made Dances With Wolves* shines through here, mostly overshadowing that guy who gave us Waterworld and The Postman.*" -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA)* Posted Aug 20, 2003	Open Range (2003)	78%
	"*Played out like a cop show that should have been cancelled seasons ago, S.W.A.T.* is nothing if not boring.*" -- Pulse Weekly* Posted Aug 13, 2003	S.W.A.T. (2003)	49%

	"*Clocking in at a shockingly long two and a half hours, this campy Evil Dead* homage from director Gore Verbinski is nonetheless giddy fun.*" -- Pulse Weekly* Posted Aug 13, 2003	Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)	79%
	"The amusing freshness of T2 is unsuccessfully recycled in this less superior carbon copy." -- Pulse Weekly Posted Aug 13, 2003	Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)	70%
	"*A wonderful pastiche of seventies and eighties pop culture, Full Throttle* is a kitschy joyride complete with wonderful cameos, joyous dance numbers and acrobatic *-kicking." -- Pulse Weekly Posted Aug 13, 2003	Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003)	41%
	"The tepid lead characters, housed by actors who don�t even share any chemistry, finally have nowhere to go in a film as flat as its interior dime-store novel." -- Pulse Weekly Posted Aug 13, 2003	Alex and Emma (2003)	10%
	"...a buddy cop picture looking for a punch line and a plotline." -- Pulse Weekly Posted Aug 13, 2003	Hollywood Homicide (2003)	29%
	"A crude, sloppy, four-wheeled extravaganza; the best thing about this sequel is that it�s not quite as bad as its ridiculous title indicates." -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted Jun 6, 2003	2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)	36%
	"Finding Nemo is a witty and epic adventure packed in unlikely wrapping." -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted May 29, 2003	Finding Nemo (2003)	98%

	"...doesn�t offer much beyond cute faces and forgettable poop jokes." -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted May 14, 2003	Daddy Day Care (2003)	28%
	"An infectiously good time, X2 will no doubt make you forget about the doldrums of human existence and leave you wondering what kind of mutant you�d most like to be." -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted May 1, 2003	X2: X-Men United (2003)	87%
	"*Filmed on a set that looks as if it has been lovingly and skillfully resurrected from the Bates Motel lot, Identity* deftly weaves a familiar yarn around an homage to a screen classic.*" -- Fast Forward Weekly (Calgary)* Posted Apr 25, 2003	Identity (2003)	63%
	"At best [The Real Cancun] is 90 minutes spent with a group of mind-numbingly uninteresting exhibitionists who would have served themselves, and America, better with a half-hour on The Jerry Springer Show." -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted Apr 24, 2003	The Real Cancun (2003)	35%
	"As the star and chief writer of Malibu�s Most Wanted, Kennedy is writ large here, delivering the same hit-and-miss antics that regularly crop up on his TV show." -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted Apr 17, 2003	Malibu's Most Wanted (2003)	30%
	"Coming off of roles in which they both brilliantly played against type, Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler...return to form with this standard comedy." -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted Apr 11, 2003	Anger Management (2003)	43%
2.5/5	"While there are some beautifully shot, subtle moments in the film that encapsulate the desperation and degradation of the characters, the director ends up alienating his audience in an attempt to display the alienation of his characters." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Mar 31, 2003	Unknown Pleasures (2003)	61%
	"...a refreshing action movie that relies more heavily on solid filmmaking than poorly executed, computer-generated effects." -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted Mar 17, 2003	The Hunted (2003)	32%
	"*With too little Li and too much DMX, Cradle* would have been better served if these players had been allowed to stick to what they do best, with Li fighting and DMX singing.*" -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA)* Posted Mar 7, 2003	Cradle 2 the Grave (2003)	25%
	"In this ill-conceived comedy of errors...racial stereotypes and bottom-of-the-barrel humor abound." -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted Mar 7, 2003	Bringing Down the House (2003)	34%
3/5	"An unusually smart entry into the thriller/mystery genre." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 26, 2003	Ripley's Game (2002)	95%
	"Payne constructs a hilarious ode to middle America and middle age with this unlikely odyssey, featuring a pathetic, endearing hero who is all too human." -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted Jan 2, 2003	About Schmidt (2002)	85%
	"Director Peter Jackson delights with seamless CG-effects, strong storytelling, and more compelling characters than anything found in that galaxy far, far away." -- Ace Weekly (Lexington, KY) Posted Dec 23, 2002	The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)	96%
	"Writhing under dialogue like 'You�re from two different worlds' and 'Tonight the maid is a lie and this, this is who you are,' this schlock-filled fairy tale hits new depths of unoriginality and predictability." -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted Dec 13, 2002	Maid in Manhattan (2002)	41%
	"*...Although Solaris* finally embraces a more hopeful ending than it should, the journey there is an incredibly fruitful one.*" -- Pulse Weekly* Posted Dec 11, 2002	Solaris (2002)	64%
3.5/5	"The kind of film that you hope makes it onto the TV screens of every high school class in the country." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Dec 1, 2002	Power and Terror: Noam Chomsky in Our Times (2002)	72%
	"Returning to Jurassic Park a second time wasn't the most fruitful journey ... it's no surprise that the third trip back to the dinosaur-ridden island borders on the offensive." -- Baltimore City Paper Posted Nov 18, 2002	Jurassic Park III (2001)	48%
	"Though writer/director Maggie Greenwald wraps her story around a wincingly trite yarn ... she keeps her film afloat by focusing on the music. But, when the tunes stop, so does the magic." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Nov 18, 2002	Songcatcher (2001)	72%
	"An unfortunate hybrid of Oedipal and Peter Pan complexes, Singleton's film is a mishmash of half-cocked ideas and unrealized sentiments." -- Baltimore City Paper Posted Nov 18, 2002	Baby Boy (2001)	69%
	"*Focusing on the relationship between Sally and Joe ... The Anniversary Party* reveals itself as a devastating parable about love, unfolding much like a stage play.*" -- Boxoffice Magazine* Posted Nov 18, 2002	The Anniversary Party (2001)	62%
	"*A stunning and stylish update of The Reckless Moment* (1949), the sophomore effort from Siegel and McGehee is a taut psychological drama that lingers long after its credits roll.*" -- Baltimore City Paper* Posted Nov 18, 2002	The Deep End (2001)	81%
	"*Although November 1 seems a bit early to get into the Christmas spirit, even for the most ardent holiday fanatics ... The Santa Clause 2* is enough to set any scrooge aglow with the X-mas bug.*" -- Pulse Weekly* Posted Nov 13, 2002	The Santa Clause 2 (2002)	55%
	"As Norton and Hopkins exchange barbs and witticisms, the desire to see the Dr. Lechter of yore chatting it up with a pensive, redheaded, Jody Foster never quite dissipates." -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted Nov 8, 2002	Red Dragon (2002)	68%
	"...Mendes manages once again to use his overt direction to create a quietly powerful film." -- Local Planet Weekly (Spokane, WA) Posted Nov 8, 2002	Road to Perdition (2002)	82%
