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...
The Last Castle (2001)

Zoolander (2001)
Ben Stiller’s first directorial effort in five years sees the comedic actor improving in terms of comic imagery, but taking a step down in comic execution. Zoolander is an occasionally funny film that could have actually...
