Final Destination 3

It’s not going to nab any golden statuettes, mind you, but this shocker takes such exuberant, gleeful delight in the unspeakably gory dispatch of assorted teenagers that it may well be the most fun you’ll have at the movies all week.

Black Christmas

Although this horror remake isn't as suspenseful or emotionally draining as its influential 1974 predecessor, the film almost makes up for that with its overriding weirdness.

"...for the bizarro reimagining of Willard, the increasingly freakish Final Destination body-part-du-jour franchise, and Jet Li's The One? Well,..."

Mr. Bean's Holiday

The comic Mr. Bean provides a so-so late-summer diversion, unlikely to reignite Beanmania – or repeat the previous film’s boffo box office.

Captivity

Captivity, wherein 24's Elisha Cuthbert is abducted and tortured, is the kind of film that gives torture porn a bad name; it's just soulless, hateful, and freakishly monotonous.
