IN THEATERS*
GNOMEO
AND JULIET
(2011)
"Well, this movie is just… bizarre. Oh, cute certainly, and it definitely has its moments of utter adorability, but one simply has to wonder how such an idea ever came about." -- Rachel Hyland
I
AM NUMBER FOUR
(2011)
"In a perfect world, the convoluted mess called I Am Number Four could have been great." -- David Baldwin
THE EAGLE
(2011)
"There is a whole lot about this period piece that is unpleasant and makes one very glad to have been born in modern times, but the concept of conquest and slavery, taken so much for granted, is the most distasteful of all." -- Rachel Hyland
THE
ROOMMATE
(2011)
"This movie is not a horror in the slasher-flick sense, but it is very, very creepy. Mostly, it's Leighton Meester who is creepy... in a good way." -- Rachel Hyland

DELLAMORTE
DELLAMORE
(1994)"This is that old story of boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, girl dies, girl comes back as a zombie, boy kills girl, girl comes back as a real zombie, boy realizes last time she wasn’t a zombie, boy kills girl again." -- Brad Crammond
EDWARD
SCISSORHANDS (1990)"Regardless of whether or not you’re fond of the Burton-esque style, you should like this film, because at the end of the day it’s just a damn good flick.." -- Joe O'Brien
ENCHANTED
(2007)"Enchanted has some great gut-busting moments. The first time I saw the musical numbers in Central Park, I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe." -- Sara Paige
HELLBOY
(2004)"Hellboy and Liz are imperfect beings who are perfect for each other. Both outcasts. Both surrounded by people yet isolated and alone. ." -- Malcolm Matthews

(1987)"Was ever a movie so endlessly quotable as The Princess Bride?" -- Rachel Hyland
