Off the Map (2003)
I should point out that one character that makes the biggest impact is the landscape itself.

Kinsey (2004)
Neeson's portrayal of Kinsey is letter-perfect and helps us sympathize with a man who is often misunderstood and even vilified by some.

The movie, well, it stinks like a rotting beached whale.

Platoon (1986)
Stone takes us into the hell that was the Vietnam War and turns out a provocative film.

Team America: World Police (2004)
I give credit to satirists Parker and Stone for having the wherewithal to slaughter sacred cows and show that hypocrisy is evident on both sides of the political aisle.

Hess knows his characters -- sad sacks and misunderstood nerd geniuses who inhabit straight-laced Middle America.

The R.M. (2003)
It's a pretty swell flick, with an amusing storyline, endearing characters, fine acting, great music, and quality production.

Dear God (1996)
This shows Greg Kinnear at his most forced. Director Garry Marshall should've given Kinnear and the other actors more depth before taking it to the silver screen.

Darkman (1990)
Fourteen years later, I'm still talking about this dark and amusing film. Sam Raimi is a magnificent filmmaker and deserves far more credit than he receives.

Friday Night Lights (2004)
We see just how serious Texans -- fans and players alike -- take their football.

I'm going to bet that this film heralds a resurgence of interest in blimp travel.

Woman Thou Art Loosed (2004)
While the acting is adequate, it has a low-budget, melodramatic 'ABC Afterschool Special' quality to it that would make it more appropriate for airing on Lifetime or BET.

There is a lot of imagination in this wacky ride of a film that would make 'The Dude' from The Big Lebowski very happy.
