Open Water (2003)
Open Water is an attempt at a realistic thriller, which some have compared to The Blair Witch Project, but I have to disagree with this comparison. Blair Witch tried to push forward a notion of realism to the...

Steel (1997)
Unintentional humor abounds, in this very poor attempt at trying to start up another franchise superhero (based on an actual DC Comics character spun off of Superman) with Shaquille O’Neal in the lead role. ...
Smokey and the Bandit II (1980)
I’m not sure what it is about Hal Needham that he can make a couple of fun and entertaining films like The Cannonball Run and Smokey and the Bandit, and yet completely lose his mind when trying to...

“2LDK” is the abbreviation in Japan for a 2 bedroom apartment, with a living room, dining room, and a kitchen. It’s also the title of this engaging, but an ultimately disappointing movie about two...
Marnie (1964)
A commercial and critical failure upon its release, Marnie is one of the Master’s failures that has gained a following over time, and some critics actually rank it among his very finest of films. I...
