16 Blocks (2006) |
|
"Rock music puts emphasis on the beat, jazz puts emphasis off the beat. 16 Blocks is jazz music: It's an action film, but its high points can be found in the punctuation, in the quiet moments between chases or shootouts." | |

Gia (1998) |
|
"Teasing, but hard-to-watch, biography of a famed model struck down by ’80s extravagance. NOTE: Angelina Jolie gets naked … a lot. Hooray!" | |

Men at Work (1990) |

Mighty Joe Young (1998) |
|
"King Kong has never looked so … drowsy. Sleepy, boring tale of kind-hearted gorilla gets old real quick, but with Charlize Theron though, Disney proves men can have dirty thoughts while their children are entertained. Hooray Charlize!" | |

The Presidio (1988) |
