Garage Days (2002) Spyder Darling Despite plenty of drugs and a fair amount of sex, Garage Days asphyxiates from a lethal lack of rock'n roll.

Son of the Mask (2005) Prairie Miller If nothing else, Son Of The Mask's bad seed baby serves up an all natural commercial for mental birth control.

Hip Hop 2000 (2001) Prairie Miller More than just a film about music, this journey through African hip hop is a greater story of over-coming. And prevailing against the re-colonizing invasion of US corporate music culture into Kenya.

3/5
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) Spyder Darling Strong off the starting line, it stalls before reaching the second reel due to a distinct lack of "Diesel" power.

3/4
The Italian Job (2003) Spyder Darling Gets the audience into the sensational if superficial story and lets Wahlberg get even with naysayers who predicted he'd never work again after The Truth About Charlie.

Dillinger (1973) Spyder Darling Warren really feels his oats as the title gangster of this gruesome but gripping true crime drama.
Posted May 13, 2003  Edit critic review
4/5
The Matrix Reloaded (2003) Spyder Darling A passionate, over-powered and mostly unfathomable upgrade of 1999's groundbreaking, breathtaking and equally cryptic original.

Posted Feb 21, 2003  Edit critic review
3/5
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003) Spyder Darling Not for one frame does it seem possible that these two cutesy twenty-somethings won't see the errors of their wagers in time to take the exit to happily-ever-after land.

Posted Dec 16, 2002  Edit critic review
2/5
Narc (2002) Spyder Darling So brutal, cynical and just plain not nice it makes Training Day seem like Police Academy 6.
Posted Dec 16, 2002  Edit critic review
1/5
Squirm (1976) Spyder Darling This movie about killer worms really buggged me.
Posted Nov 07, 2002  Edit critic review
4.5/5
8 Mile (2002) Spyder Darling Even if...your idea of (w)rapping has more to do with leftover bologna than improvisational street slang, 8 Mile still goes the distance.
Posted Nov 07, 2002  Edit critic review
2/5
The Truth About Charlie (2002) Spyder Darling Apallingly absurd...the chemistry or lack thereof between Newton and Wahlberg could turn an Imax theater into a 9" black and white portable TV.
Posted Oct 24, 2002  Edit critic review
4/5

B+
Blood Work (2002) Spyder Darling The Good, The Bad and the Elderly
Posted Aug 08, 2002  Edit critic review
B
Minority Report (2002) Spyder Darling ...Spielberg has at last decided to make his audience's pulse pound rather than need the assistance of a life support system as in last year's A.I. Artificial Interlligence.
Posted Jun 19, 2002  Edit critic review
B

Posted Jun 14, 2002  Edit critic review
Insomnia (2002) Spyder Darling Robin Williams is cooler than a frozen cod in his most menacing part since Mrs. Doubtfire.
Posted May 25, 2002  Edit critic review
American Psycho (2000) Spyder Darling Despite American Psycho’s high-caliber cast, museum-quality art direction and slavish attention to debauched detail, the story and its creepy characters are so generally repulsive that it's barely worth the price of attention.
