IN THEATERS*
ALICE IN WONDERLAND
"Alice in Wonderland is tremendous. It really, really is. Now, settle down, children, and I shall tell you a story." -- Rachel Hyland
AVATAR
"Yes, you’re quite Pocahontas-y/ And reminiscent of animated Fern Gully/ They, too, had princesses and the raping of land/ But you, Avatar, have Jake Sully..." -- Rachel Hyland
PERCY JACKSON AND THE LIGHTNING
THIEF
"The director of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone? You mean… Chris Columbus? And this is supposed to recommend this film to me, preview? You’re kidding, right?" -- Rachel Hyland

MOVIE MARATHON
ALIEN
"Alien's tech does not hold up well. All the characters chain-smoke, staring intently at their 70’s monochrome monitors (Star Wars at least had some holograms)." -- William Cashin
STARGATE
"Yes, it’s cliché; yes, the acting is unremarkable; but Stargate is all about a spectacle which captures the imagination with an intriguing “what if?" -- Rachel Day
UNDERWORLD
"Blade with werewolves and a leather-clad, super-hot Kate Beckinsale. Honestly, they probably would have been onto a winner with just that." -- Brad Crammond
