All things considered, though, I'd much rather just be playing the game.” – eFilmCritic.com Mar 27, 2006 Full Review Waiting ... (2005) 29% 4/5 EDIT “Despite its flaws, it really is a funny, witty, and suprisingly charming slob comedy” – eFilmCritic.com Mar 27, 2006 Full Review V for Vendetta (2005) 73% 4/5 EDIT “solidly anchored by a masked Hugo Weaving and a few stunning action sequences. If only there had been more of them . . .” – eFilmCritic.com Mar 27, 2006 Full Review The Hanging Garden (1997) 94% 5/5 EDIT “” – eFilmCritic.com Mar 11, 2006 Full Review Ten 'til Noon (2005) 70% 4.5/5 EDIT “In an era of increasingly formulaic and mainstream crime thrillers, Ten 'Til Noon is a clear standout and a welcome change of pace.” – eFilmCritic.com Mar 1, 2006 Full Review Kûchû teien (Hanging Garden) (2005) 5/5 EDIT “Toyoda's film is an exploration of the problems that plague a modern Japanese family, giving us a unique view that can be appreciated by those both within and outside of the filmmaker's culture.” – eFilmCritic.com Mar 1, 2006 Full Review Mad Cowgirl (2006) 33% 3/5 EDIT “An orgy of red meat and confused filmmaking” – eFilmCritic.com Mar 1, 2006 Full Review Broken (2005) 3/5 EDIT “” – eFilmCritic.com Dec 31, 2005 Full Review The Arena (2001) 3/5 EDIT “” – eFilmCritic.com Oct 29, 2005 Full Review Serenity (2005) 82% 5/5 EDIT “A love letter to Firefly fans, an open invitation to everyone else” – eFilmCritic.com Oct 1, 2005 Full Review Transporter 2 (2005) 52% 3.5/5 EDIT “A vehicle for Statham to drive fast cars and beat the hell out of people, TRANSPORTER 2 provides a much-needed fix for action fans stuck in the late summer doldrums.” – eFilmCritic.com Sep 9, 2005 Full Review The Skeleton Key (2005) 38% 2.5/5 EDIT “The film's lush atmosphere is a thin smokescreen to hide the fact that its formulaic underpinnings prevent it from approaching anything that is truly scary or unsettling” – eFilmCritic.com Sep 9, 2005 Full Review
