Drenched in Hokumnew
The performances are bang-on and there are moments of great beauty throughout, but Lady in the Water ultimately capsizes under the weight of its own goofy story.

Baby Shamblesnew
If you can accept the very idea of Shawn Wayans’ face on the body of an infantilized baby-man in diapers, who’s to care about the quality of anything else in the movie?

Nobody's Homenew
This animated tale of a carnivorous, haunted house and the band of neighborhood kids who decide to put it out of commission feels maddeningly unfinished.
