- DirectorSam RaimiStarsTobey MaguireKirsten DunstTopher GraceA strange black entity from another world bonds with Peter Parker and causes inner turmoil as he contends with new villains, temptations, and revenge.** Tons of potential wasted due to a messy script.
- DirectorBrett RatnerStarsPatrick StewartHugh JackmanHalle BerryThe human government develops a cure for mutations, and Jean Grey becomes a darker uncontrollable persona called the Phoenix who allies with Magneto, causing escalation into an all-out battle for the X-Men.*** a great movie was possible, god knows X2 left potential for X3 to be great but it's just fun if you are bored. When it's over, you wish it was more.
- DirectorRichard LesterStarsChristopher ReeveRichard PryorMargot KidderSynthetic kryptonite laced with tar splits Superman in two: good Clark Kent and bad Man of Steel.**1/2 A Lex Luther rip/off plots to make Superman evil.
- DirectorJoe AlvesStarsDennis QuaidBess ArmstrongSimon MacCorkindaleA giant thirty-five-foot shark becomes trapped in a SeaWorld theme park and it's up to the sons of police chief Brody to rescue everyone.**
- DirectorJoel SchumacherStarsVal KilmerTommy Lee JonesJim CarreyBatman must battle former district attorney Harvey Dent, who is now Two-Face and Edward Nygma, The Riddler with help from an amorous psychologist and a young circus acrobat who becomes his sidekick, Robin.**1/2 Not as bad as Batman & Robin but Jim Carrey who looked great as the Riddler blew it by over-acting and being way too damn hyper. Other people have a problem with Batman smiling but turning the villains into the sort of goofballs Adam West would have gone up against is what I didn't like. The dialogue sucked too.
- DirectorDavid S. GoyerStarsWesley SnipesKris KristoffersonParker PoseyBlade, now a wanted man by the FBI, must join forces with the Nightstalkers to face his most challenging enemy yet: Dracula.**1/2
- DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossThe human city of Zion defends itself against the massive invasion of the machines as Neo fights to end the war at another front while also opposing the rogue Agent Smith.**1/2
- DirectorJohn LandisStarsEddie MurphyJon TenneyJoey TravoltaAxel Foley, while investigating a car theft ring, comes across something much bigger than that: the same men who killed his boss are running a counterfeit money ring out of a theme park in Los Angeles.**1/2 Axel Foley up against bad guys at an amusement park is amusing but a sad direction for the series.
- DirectorWes CravenStarsDavid ArquetteNeve CampbellCourteney CoxWhile Sidney and her friends visit the Hollywood set of Stab 3, the third film based on the Woodsboro murders, another Ghostface killer rises to terrorize them.*** Not horrible at all but come on, a voice changer that lets you sound like anyone? Oh and a new cast that's not too good, except for Parker Posey. If you shut your brain off and watch with some friends and beers you'll enjoy it.
- DirectorFred DekkerStarsRobert John BurkeNancy AllenMario MachadoRobocop saves the day once more. This time the half man/half robot takes on ruthless developers who want to evict some people on "their" land.*1/2
- DirectorRobert RodriguezStarsDaryl SabaraAlexa PenaVegaAntonio BanderasCarmen's caught in a virtual reality game designed by the Kids' new nemesis, the Toymaker. It's up to Juni to save his sister, and ultimately the world.**1/2
- DirectorBrett RatnerStarsJackie ChanChris TuckerMax von SydowAfter an attempted assassination on Ambassador Han, Lee and Carter head to Paris to protect a French woman with knowledge of the Triads' secret leaders.**1/2
- DirectorSimon WincerStarsPaul HoganLinda KozlowskiJere BurnsAustralian Outback adventurer Mick "Crocodile" Dundee travels to Los Angeles with his young son while his longtime companion suspects foul play at a movie studio.**1/2
- DirectorMarcus RaboyStarsIce CubeMike EppsJohn WitherspoonWorking as security guards, Craig and Day-Day run into the thief who stole their Christmas presents.**
- DirectorRobert LiebermanStarsEmilio EstevezJeffrey NordlingDavid SelbyThe unruly team of hockey misfits grows up a bit and receives scholarships to a prestigious prep school, where they take on the snotty varsity team.** Not enough....Emilio!
- DirectorJohn WarrenStarsScott BakulaCorbin BernsenDennis HaysbertA lousy minor league baseball team full of many different personalities gets a new manager, an aging minor league pitcher.*1/2 I guess Charlie Sheen was driving Bree Olson to Jr. High when this was being made.
- DirectorMichael BayStarsShia LaBeoufRosie Huntington-WhiteleyTyrese GibsonThe Autobots learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft hidden on the moon, and race against the Decepticons to reach it and to learn its secrets.**1/2 Better than the 2nd but Sam Witwicky has to go and the Transformers need to be actual characters and built up in the 4th and just not there to blow stuff up to entertain Michael Bay. Character build-up helps, for the heroes, not just human ones, so we care if they die or not.
- DirectorChris MillerRaman HuiStarsMike MyersCameron DiazEddie MurphyReluctantly designated as the heir to the land of Far, Far Away, Shrek hatches a plan to install the rebellious Artie as the new king while Princess Fiona tries to fend off a coup d'état by the jilted Prince Charming.**1/2, Too much Justin Timberlake as the whiny and uninteresting Artie.
