    It's all quite precious, just not in a good way: "Postmodern" to a fault, deeply shallow, infuriatingly trite.

    You'll definitely feel cheated -- especially when you keep on finding yourself thinking how Mulder and Scully would have handled it all.
    • Metascore: 37
    • Gemma Files 30
    About an hour after you've seen it, you'll already be fuzzy on just who was screwing who, and why
    • Metascore: 40
    • Gemma Files 30
    Visually stunning but emotionally shallow.
    • Metascore: 29
    • Gemma Files 30
    Appalling, repetitive, utterly predictable.
    • Metascore: 59
    • Gemma Files 20
    Sarandon prostitutes her blazing talent and sharp political sensibility to the service of a pile of misogynistic bullflop.
    • Metascore: 16
    • Gemma Files 20
    Basically a dressed-up piece of drivel, a self-referential pseudo-thriller with pretensions to pretensions of classic Hollywood suspense.
    • Metascore: 46
    • Gemma Files 20
    Has its - very - occasionally funny moments, so does a car crash.
    • Metascore: 41
    • Gemma Files 20
    Tired, overcomplicated mix of macho bullshit.

    Ephron is still a director whose movies veer uncomfortably between the good -- make that adequate -- "You've Got Mail", the bad "This Is My Life" and the ugly Lucky Numbers. Pity.

    Mr Kumble: Keep your hands off the classics! You don't deserve to read them, let alone paraphrase them.

    Lyonne, as usual, does her best...but she's running uphill.
    • Metascore: 21
    • Gemma Files 20
    Borderline incoherent.
    • Metascore: 25
    • Gemma Files 20
    An endlessly contrived exercise in self-referential "black comedy", can't help but strike me as no kind of triumph of anything over anything.
    • Metascore: 14
    • Gemma Files 20
    Good intentions, bad writing.
    • Metascore: 17
    • Gemma Files 10
    Good vs. Evil For Dummies....and I, for one, dislike being treated like a Dummy.
    • Metascore: 22
    • Gemma Files 10
    If you're looking for something child-appropriate that'll actually keep the little darlings awake for two hours straight, you'd do better...and cheaper...to just stay at home with the Discovery Channel.
    • Metascore: 16
    • Gemma Files 10
    An almost total waste of time.
    • Metascore: 45
    • Gemma Files 10
    Some things just don't translate . . . not with Lipnicki attached, at any rate. Stick with the books.

    Valentine simply mines the same tired, predictable slasher-movie vein as everything else he's (Blanks) done thus far. Send this one back unopened.
