On Thin Icing
This ensemble piece makes the least of a decent cast of Amerindie and TV veterans and fully embraces trivialization.

Just Skidding
This film violates the axiom that a movie with all the intellectual rigor of a Hot Wheels commercial or a Street Low issue should at least feature charismatic stars.

Hugging the Middle-of-the-Road
In the middle of the cliche sandwich is a surprisingly engaging movie about the impact of high-school sports on a group of exceptional young women.

Realistic Sucking Action

People Who Film in Glass Boxes -- Shouldn't
Slow-moving, unengaging, and ultimately unsatisfying this film has more than its director to blame.
