Bad Boys II (2003)
Although I am not a fan of any other Michael Bay mega-blockbusters, I did enjoy the original Bad Boys, mostly because it did manage to make me laugh quite a bit. Even so, I came...
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)
As a video game, “Tomb Raider” is a slick and fun diversion, mixing lots of action with some good old fashioned problem-solving. Plenty of eye candy is provided, but none more pleasant than that...

Kill Me Later (2001)
Kill Me Later is based on a short film of the same name, and that’s probably how it should have stayed. At 90 minutes, there just isn’t enough to sustain heavy interest without a lot...
