Baker, Simon R.

• Shanghai Noon (2000)

  [7/10]

  "Shanghai Noon offers slightly better than usual Jackie Chan dialog, typical improvizational martial arts, and fun but merely average stunts (at least for Jackie)."

• Smoke Signals (1998)

  [8/10]

  "Smoke Signals succeeds on many levels: as a coming-of-age movie where two young men learn that they have more in common than they thought; as a road-trip movie; as a light comedy; and as a portrait of Native American life. Alexie successfully weaves these aspects together into a story that you can watch again and again."

  Average score: 7.50
