Bad Company (2002)
I’ve heard that Bad Company was originally made before the events of 9/11 and has been postponed because the plot involves terrorists setting up a nuclear bomb in the heart of New York City. Although...

People I Know (2002)
I would be intrigued to be hooked up to all sorts of monitors and brainwave scanners while watching PEOPLE I KNOW to see what reactions and emotions went through me. I suspect that if I were...

The Tuxedo (2002)
I’ve concluded that watching a Jackie Chan film involves some of the same elements as watching a porn flick. Amid all the exciting action, there’s usually a dumb plot set up as a device...
