10,000 B.C. (2008) |
|
"Ready to rumble, scantily clad Neanderthals gone wild, gliding around the globe faster than high speed Internet. And while dodging seemingly nearsighted menacing reptiles with bad manners, whose oversized choppers repeatedly miss their mark." | |

21 (2008) |
|
"Treating card playing as an exciting spectator sport rather than, say, about as thrilling as watching fishing for two hours, this offbeat cautionary tale warns all those impulsive casino-bound eggheads out there, that losers come in all IQ's." | |

638 Ways to Kill Castro (2006) |

And Then Came Love (2007) |
|
"For those not willing to buy into mandatory motherhood, there are still a few roles left for women here and there, as dragons ladies, sluts and psychos." | |

Bach: Cathedrals of Silence (1995) |
|
"Challenges and perhaps confounds with its concept, the silence posibly referring not only to the composer's revolutionary musical inception, but also to the far from insignificant silence preceding inspiration." | |

The Corporation (2004) |

Cowboy Del Amor (2006) |
|
"Classified ads of aging US males seeking young Mexican mates are placed in newspapers across the border, men who make it clear that they're seeking docile alternatives to US women. Conjugal imperialism?" | |

Crazy Love (2007) |

DOA: Dead or Alive (2007) |

The Life Before Her Eyes (2008) |

"An anti-abortion movement propaganda screed masquerading as a teen angst drama. All that's missing are the religious right pamphlet tables in the theater lobbies. There's apparently a new kind of female road movie out there, called the guilt trip." | |
