The X-Files: Season 3

Continues the strengths of old seasons, diversifies storylines.
4 Stars out of Five

Dark City

Creepy and otherworldly, which is what a sci-fi movie should be.
Five Stars out of Five

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Shouldn't be within the franchise because it suggests something contrary to what it purports. Still good fun.
3 Stars out of Five

I Killed My Mother

Like a high school essay perfectly transferred into a film. Hopeful.
Four Stars out of Five

The Descent: Part 2

Undermines every aspect of the first films. Realizes none of that film's strengths and creates a bad, standalone piece of trash.
1 Star out of Five

Garden State

Fun and meandering. Soporific in a good way.
4 Stars out of Five

Film Socialisme

Actually kind of tepid, other than the photography.
