The Cannonball Run (1981)
Cannonball Run was a childhood favorite of mine and is one of my all-time guiltiest pleasures. The reason I like the film doesn’t stem from the usual things — I am not a fan...

Love and Bullets (1979)
Without the ridiculous and typical Charles Bronson ending, Love and Bullets might have gotten a modest recommendation. Within this rather routine thriller, there are a number of things to like. For starters, the storyline removes...
Zig Zag (2002)
David S. Goyer’s previous work includes screenwriting credits on such films as Blade (and Blade II), Dark City, The Crow: City of Angels, Death Warrant and Kickboxer 2. Not exactly work brimming with character development. Curiously, Goyer’s first time directing a film...

Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001)
Sometimes it takes a first-time director to breathe new life into what might otherwise be a run-of-the-mill romantic comedy. Such is the case with the refreshing comedy Bridget Jones’s Diary, thanks in large part to...
Legally Blonde (2001)
It’s time Reese Witherspoon finally comes to terms with the fact that she could very well be the most appealing comedienne working in films today. If she were to do more comedies and fewer...
