Deep Blue Sea

A team of scientists discovers a way to regenerate human brain tissue using extracts from the brains of mutated mako sharks. The film's sharks are convincing, its characters less so.

Cedar Rapids

A wonderful cast turns Cedar Rapids into a semisweet charmer that fluxes between edgy comedy and palpable pathos.

Piranha 3D

Finally, 3-D is being put to its optimum use. Who cares how it holds up as a remake?

Lady in the Water

The performances are bang-on, and there are moments of great beauty throughout, but Lady in the Water ultimately capsizes under the weight of its own goofy story.

"...very nearly snatches Lady in the Water from the jaws of hokum – performances are bang-on, and characters are..."

The White Countess

The final collaboration between director Ivory and producer Ismail Merchant is a gorgeous slice of Merchant Ivoryisms (thanks in large part to the lushly vertiginous cinematography of DP Christopher Doyle) that nevertheless fails to equal the team’s greatest works.

"...damn slow, but the film is snatched from the jaws of tedium by Doyle’s resplendently lush camerawork and Fiennes..."

War of the Worlds
