By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 12 May 2006

Review of Wah-Wah (2005)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 12 May 2006

Review of Hoot (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 04 May 2006

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 20 Apr 2006

Review of Scary Movie 4 (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 18 Apr 2006

Thin on plot even by spoof standards, Scary Movie 4 runs like clockwork for 80 minutes. It's a movie strangely lacking in both comedic highs and lows…

Review of Hard Candy (2005)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 18 Apr 2006

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 06 Apr 2006

Review of Friends with Money (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 06 Apr 2006

Another plot-lite, character-heavy portrait of woman dealing with love, friendship and self-worth and Holofcener has little interest in…

Review of Slither (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 30 Mar 2006
