Review of Snow Day (2000)

By William Arnold (1,101) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 02 Sep 2009

It's an original and rather clever premise, but first-time director Chris Koch doesn't do anything with it…

Review of The Mothman Prophecies (2002)

By Ellen A. Kim (27) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 28 Aug 2009

It would have made for a cool fictional thriller, but The Mothman Prophecies' attempt to stick to true-life roots paralyzes it from being satisfying…

Review of The Host (2006)

By Sean Axmaker (1,564) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 28 Aug 2009

The sudden turns of temperament are a treat after the smart-ass attitude of American horror flicks, and the film is full of minor surprises,…

By William Arnold (1,101) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 27 Aug 2009

Review of Get Smart (2008)

By Andy Spletzer (26) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 20 Aug 2009

By William Arnold (1,101) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 16 Aug 2009

Its heart is in the right place, and it doesn't flinch an iota from its duty of rubbing our faces in the horror of the Third World over the…

Review of Fatal Instinct (1993)

By William Arnold (1,101) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 15 Aug 2009

By William Arnold (1,101) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 13 Aug 2009

Review of South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999)

By Paula Nechak (219) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 11 Aug 2009

Review of Casa de los Babys (2003)

By William Arnold (1,101) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 07 Aug 2009

Review of Cheaper by the Dozen (2003)

By Sean Axmaker (1,564) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 04 Aug 2009

Review of Shrek the Third (2007)

By William Arnold (1,101) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 03 Aug 2009

A fairly underwhelming experience for man or child -- not so much bad as just more of the same, with little of the original's novelty or freshness…

Review of Stranger Than Fiction (2006)

By William Arnold (1,101) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 02 Aug 2009

The bad news is that Ferrell's modestly likable performance is the ONLY good thing about this misguided comedy that's so tiresomely written,…

Review of Fool's Gold (2008)

By William Arnold (1,101) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 02 Aug 2009

The script is fatally stupid, most of the gags fall flat, the secondary characters add little, Hudson fails to make anything interesting out…

By Sean Axmaker (1,564) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 01 Aug 2009

Review of Liberty Heights (1999)

By William Arnold (1,101) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 21 Jul 2009

As good as the film is in so many ways, it also altogether rings a bit false and contrived…

By Sean Axmaker (1,564) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 09 Jul 2009

I can't imagine how Smith can capture a big enough audience to pay off this private joke, but the inner geek in me had too much fun to care…
