"...produces tons of laughs in its compact 90 minutes and doesn't overstay its welcome. The bad jokes are bad, but the good ones are great." |

"Whether or not you believe in close encounters, 'The Fourth Kind' is legitimately scary enough to keep you in your seat. (Just don't Google the flick before you see it.)" |

"Had 'Confessions' been truer to its chick-lit novel inspiration, the movie could have been fizzily enjoyable instead of sickening. It's hard to sympathize with Becky..." |
