Stop the 'Earth,' We Want to Get On!new

The cheesy new Keanu Reeves film, however utterly unnecessary and half-assedly realized and anticlimactic it may be (quite, it's fair to say), is also, in fact, a model of the true and absolute essence of cinema. I am offering a way to really appreciate this film, if only you can open your mind.

'The Day The Earth Stood Still' is Remote and Affectlessnew

Something's not right when a movie made in the aughts is cheesier than the 1950s movie it's a remake of, a movie famous for its iconic image of a Jiffy-Pop-style flying saucer settling down on the Mall in D.C. so that an alien named Klaatu can deliver a message to mankind.

Satan's Little Helpernew

This yawner fails to amount to much more than an overlong exercise in Jesuit Theosophy 101, played against the backdrop of Law & Order.

Inability to Frighten Is Least of Film's Problemsnew

A superficially slick production and overqualified cast will certainly earn The Exorcism of Emily Rose more attention than the finished product deserves.

Scarier than Bewitched, but Only by a Littlenew

What could be scarier than being possessed by the devil? How about a debate of Darwinism vs. intelligent design not so cleverly disguised in a movie that tries way too hard to freak audiences out of their socks.
