Conman 1999 (1998)
Why my review of this film seems to be the only negative one I can find is a mystery to me. I’m actually quite surprised myself, since the other films stemming from the God of...

Supernova (2000)
What starts out as intriguing if derivative sci-fi soon descends into meaningless horror and in the end a real letdown from a cast and crew of professionals who should know better. From the fact...
Traffic (2000)
It should be abundantly clear after the year 2000 that Steven Soderbergh is the best director no one’s ever heard of working in Hollywood today. Arguably his two films (Traffic and Erin Brockovich) could legitimately claim...

The plot: Eighteen years after their cult science fiction show is cancelled, the actors of TV’s “Galaxy Quest” are still together, appearing at “GQ” conventions and ribbon-cutting ceremonies, living off their association with the...
Network (1976)
A film that seems more relevant as the years progress. Shockingly, some of the programming decisions that were considered ridiculously over the top back then seem almost within the realm of possibility in this...
