Mel Gibson Crosses the Line in 'Edge of Darkness'new
In the pair of emotionally contradictory images that open Mel Gibson’s Edge of Darkness, swollen corpses surfacing on a moonlit river are followed without pause by grainy home video of a little girl playing in the surf.

Looking Back: Mel Gibson Atones, Defeated
Acting in his first film since 2003, Mel Gibson is a bit rusty as retiring Boston homicide detective Thomas Craven in a part corporate-thriller and part old-school revenge fantasy that feels dated from the start.

The Best Superspy Yet
Daniel Craig more than capably fills 007's shoes in a Bond film that shatters formula constraints and delivers nail-biting action in a considerably darker mode.

Unmaskednew
Whereas the Zorro of yore was a cunning subversive with a libidinous guerrilla panache, this new take with a tyke added is more like Leave It to Zorro.

Sequel Taints Your Memory of First Filmnew
Despite reuniting Antonio Banderas, Catherine Zeta-Jones and director Martin Campbell, The Legend of Zorro proves so sloppy, silly and over-acted that the signature "Z" should stand for "Zero."
