  • Upcoming on Dvd


  • 93% Tell No One - An intense, well-crafted thriller, Tell No One is equal parts heart-pounding and heart-wrenching.
  • 59% RocknRolla - Mixed reviews for Guy Ritchie's return to his London-based cockney wideboy gangster movie roots, but most agree, it's a step in the right direction following two major turkeys.
  • 48% Lakeview Terrace - This thriller about a menacing cop wreaking havoc on his neighbors is tense enough but threatens absurdity when it enters into excessive potboiler territory.
  • 39% The Rocker - With a predictable and lightweight story, the earnest efforts of the cast are squandered by The Rocker's bland script.
  • 34% Pride and Glory - Formulaic in its plotting and cliched in its dialogue, Pride and Glory does little to distinguish itself from other police procedurals.
