By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 08 Jan 2018

By Noel Murray (1,901) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 04 Jan 2018

Review of Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 04 Jan 2018

Review of Insidious: The Last Key (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 04 Jan 2018

Review of Cocaine Cowboys (2006)

By Noel Murray (1,901) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 03 Jan 2018

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 03 Jan 2018

Review of Son of the Mask (2005)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 01 Jan 2018

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 01 Jan 2018

Faris has mostly logged time in dire vehicles like The House Bunny, which are dumb-dumb to her smart-dumb…

Review of Batman Begins (2005)

By Keith Phipps (1,177) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 31 Dec 2017

Review of Beauty Shop (2005)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 30 Dec 2017

Beauty Shop's shtick gets old and tired pretty quickly, but a breezy tone and air of easygoing likeability carry it a long way…

Review of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 25 Dec 2017

Review of Bright (2017)

Review of Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool (2017)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 21 Dec 2017

Review of Father Figures (2017)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 21 Dec 2017

Review of All the Money in the World (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 21 Dec 2017
