Spider-Man (2002)
Initially, it was somewhat of a disappointment to hear that what once was supposed to be a James Cameron project would eventually digress into the hands of Sam “Evil Dead” Raimi. Raimi was the...

Riders (2002) | Steal
You’d have thought I would have learned my lesson to stay away from any more “extreme sports” movies after suffering through XXX and Extreme Ops earlier this year. I guess I figured that without an “x” in...
Clockwatchers (1997)
Although not as funny as the “office comedy” predecessor, OFFICE SPACE, CLOCKWATCHERS scores more of its points by being more realistic in its absurd look at the trivialities of office life. In so doing, it’s...
The Salton Sea (2002)

The Rookie (2002)
Forget Hardball — The Rookie is the movie to see for truly inspirational baseball action. What’s more, it’s based on the true story of Jim Morris (Quaid), a 35-year-old who thought his pro career was over when...
