Review of Wolf Creek (2005)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 03 Jan 2006

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 31 Dec 2005

Review of Waterworld (1995)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 10 Dec 2005

The script doesn't do a great job with either the spiritual or the physical trek, but the spectacular action sequences occur with enough regularity…

Review of The Devil's Own (1997)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 07 Dec 2005

Part of the reason The Devil's Own is endurable is because, in spite of various script deficiencies, both of the stars -- Pitt and Harrison…

Review of The World's Fastest Indian (2005)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 06 Dec 2005

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 06 Dec 2005

Review of Match Point (2005)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 06 Dec 2005

Not only could one argue that this is the best serious work the director has ever attempted, but it's presented in a way that even the most…

Review of The Rocketeer (1991)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 24 Nov 2005
