Nelson, Tim Blake

• Holes (2003)

  [7/10]

  "I would have to guess that the book provides more satisfactory development of Stanley's character than the film. I liked the film, and as with any good underdog story, we cheer for Stanley and Zero as they work to overcome both the oppression of their immediate situation and their family history."

• Syriana (2006)

  [6/10]

  "In spite of good performances by an amazing cast, the preachy message of Syriana turned me off."

  Average score: 6.50
