At least half of this action flick is brilliant and inspired; the rest lets us down, but overall it's much more interesting than your average chick-in-spandex-with-guns movie.

Pluck Offnew

Heaven Can Waitnew
Expect wire-fu, recognizable Hong Kong stars, or even a plot that makes you think, and you'll be both disappointed and bored with Warriors. But hang in there until the second half, and the payoff arrives.

Monster Bash: Evil Space Critters Get Ready to Rumblenew
Part of the reason this film finally got made is that director Paul W.S. Anderson pitched a story set in the budget-friendly setting and location of present-day Earth, rather than across galaxies to multiple futuristic planets.
