Red Planet

Not only shamelessly rips off the best of the genre, but also fails to even put it into a nice sheen or an entertaining package.

Remember the Titans
Jacksonville Film Journal

With such volatile and interesting subject matter, we could have gotten more than a safe Really Good Bad Movie. We could have gotten a Good Movie.

Requiem for a Dream
Jacksonville Film Journal

It's a film that burrows under the skin, latches on to a viewer, and refuses to let go.

It's a blast of energy that one really can refer to (without the slightest hint of reservation) as 'good for the whole family.'

It lacks an understanding of the harmonies and contrasts in the very society he is trying to expose to ridicule.

The Stone Angel
Jam! Movies
Kevin Williamson
Ultimately, though, the story is defined by searing turns from the enjoyably crotchety Burstyn and Horne, who shepherds Hagar from prideful wild child to soul-sapped middle-aged mother.

To the credit of everyone involved with Disney's Glory Road, all things familiar still become exhilarating and inspirational.

21 And Over
Jam! Movies
Bruce Kirkland
If you like your movies stupid, loud, crude and profane, with a touch of racism and misogyny as extra flavouring, the new comedy 21 and Over is just about right.

The movie's overall cleverness makes up for its derivativeness.
