Blade II (2002)
Although I am a fan of comic books, and enjoy Wesley Snipes’ work even when he is playing an expressionless monosyllabic badass, I was disappointed in the first film in what is now a...

13 Ghosts (2001)
I am not exactly sure why schlock horror director William Castle has been such a source for remaking films for today’s audiences, except the idea that his films might be better if they weren’t...
Joy Ride (2001)

Bless the Child (2000)
This stench-fest should definitely have been rated P.U. for stinking up the most theaters around the country. The only consolation to seeing this movie is that you may not have to pay for parking...
