    So many romantic cliches it's laughable.

    If only they had the courage of their crassness.

    Double Take
    An ostensible action-comedy that can't seem to get either side of its genre equation right.
    • 25 Metascore
    • 10 Paul Malcolm
    Enough
    Mechanical revenge fantasy that skirts every serious issue it raises along a slick, cynical trajectory.

    • 10 Paul Malcolm
    Juwanna Mann
    So what in this high-concept lame-a-thon makes screenwriter Bradley Allenstein think he can diss the Clippers?
    • 24 Metascore
    • 10 Paul Malcolm
    Universal Soldier: The Return
    A mind-numbing exercise in high body counts and big tits.
    • 21 Metascore
    • 10 Paul Malcolm
    Highlander: Endgame
    While the film is well-paced, visually it is deathly dull.

    Thomas and the Magic Railroad
    If you're above the target age of 5, Thomas may coax you into a naplike stupor.

    Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever
    Thai director Kaos (a.k.a. Wych Kaosayananda), making his inauspicious Hollywood debut, still can't breathe any life into it. You'll just want to get back to your Game Boy.

    Halloween: Resurrection
    If, as it appears, Rosenthal is competing with the knife-wielding Myers for the title of biggest hack, he wins by unanimous decision.

    • 10 Paul Malcolm
    Valentine
    Highly reductive and deathly dull slasher flick.
    • 16 Metascore

    The Learning Curve
    Opens the floodgates of cartoonish villainy and pitiful sentiment.
    • 16 Metascore
    • 20 Paul Malcolm
    Simon Sez
    A pretty miserable time at the movies.
    • 16 Metascore
    • 20 Paul Malcolm
    Urban Legends: Final Cut
    Wears its lack of originality in a crowded slasher marketplace like a red badge of desperation.
    • 14 Metascore
    • 0 Paul Malcolm
    Rollerball
    Rollerball pushes the Hollywood action movie to stratospheric new levels of incoherence; pounding at the senses, it's mashed story, character, time and space into a chunky hash.
    • 14 Metascore
    • 20 Paul Malcolm
    The Sculptress
    A hodgepodge of psychosexual horror gimmicks, from the virginal psychic artist to the impotent psychotic actor.
    • 14 Metascore
    • 10 Paul Malcolm
    Dungeons & Dragons
    A cheap "Star Wars" rip-off with swords instead of light sabers.

    • 10 Paul Malcolm
    State Property
    It almost appears like a little thought went into this otherwise grim exercise in soullessness.

    • 40 Paul Malcolm
    The Last Confederate: The Story of Robert Adams
    A film that plays like warmed-over "Cold Mountain."
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Paul Malcolm
    Ambush
    Director Olli Saarela, who co-wrote the script with Antti Tuuri, offers up a trembling romanticism that gradually hardens -- like Eero's consciousness -- with exposure to the horrors of war.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 20 Paul Malcolm
    Downward Angel
    Screams straight-to-video.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 10 Paul Malcolm
    Sorority Girls' Revenge
    It's a nice try, but the film remains a pinhead's idea of softcore fetish material.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Paul Malcolm
    A Galaxy Far, Far Away
    Jalil penetrates a carnivalesque subculture of self-reinvention and obsession, emotional need and materialist greed, with a camera that is, by turns, cruel, kind and incisive.
