Craig YounkinMarch 12, 2005
A standard by-the-book film that only breaks out of its shell on certain occasions thanks to taut direction.
'Robots' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinMarch 10, 2005
Shamelessly hacked together, and relies on all the fart jokes and pop culture music it can get its soulless hands onto.
'The Jacket' Movie Review (C+)Craig YounkinMarch 6, 2005

A play that I know very little about, and after watching the movie I wish I could have stayed ignorant.

Nowhere near as fresh as the original, but if you're undemanding and looking for a few cheap laughs, this is for you.
'Ocean's 12' Movie Review (D+)Craig YounkinDecember 11, 2004

It's worth seeing for Jamie Foxx's incredible performance, but the rest of the film feels sadly less important.
