By Jeffrey Chen (849) for Window to the Movies (638) on 12 Feb 2009

Review of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)

By Jeffrey Chen (849) for Window to the Movies (638) on 09 Feb 2009

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Jeffrey Chen (849) for Window to the Movies (638) on 31 Dec 2008

Stiller's parody of Hollywood opportunism and insecurities is fairly lacerating, but perhaps could've been more so had not the whole thing…

Review of Wendy and Lucy (2008)

By Jeffrey Chen (849) for Window to the Movies (638) on 31 Dec 2008
