    Brush with Danger
    Although the characters repeatedly express their worship of “original art” in gilded frames, the script consists of singularly unoriginal dialogue.

    Think Like a Man Too
    Things turn loud and desperate and stay that way.

    Burning Blue
    The script, by Mr. Greer and Helene Kvale, rolls along with lifeless, profoundly unimaginative dialogue.

    The Second Meeting
    Their meeting was arranged by the filmmaker, and their encounters reek of false bonhomie.

    The Oil Factor: Behind the War on Terror
    Most of this is old news. And the filmmakers never make a coherent case, at least not to the layperson. As a result, the film, which runs about 90 minutes, seems painfully long.

    Dead & Breakfast
    Not a shred of suspense enlivens the proceedings, and the movie's idea of humor is having a man slip and slide on a floor covered in blood.

    Date Movie
    Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg, who wrote the screenplay, have crammed dozens of movie parodies into this deliberately juvenile spoof of romantic comedies. Mr. Seltzer, who directed, has made very few of them funny.

    El Cortez
    The script, by Chris Haddock, leaves numerous questions unanswered. It also reflects the character depth and conversational complexity of a 14-year-old’s first effort at fiction.
