Torn, Rip

• Down Periscope (1996)

  [6/10]

  "A fairly formulaic underdog-overcomes-all-odds movie with some good acting and better-than-average action."

• Marie Antoinette (2006)

  [5/10]

  "I find Marie Antoinette an interesting mood piece that doesn't tax the actors involved, except maybe with their period wardrobe. The soundtrack distracts from the tone of the film, and I got bored at many places, probably due to so much attention to detail in the costumes and sets at the expense of true biographical information."

• Zoom (2006)

  [2/10]

  "I don't think that I have ever seen a movie that tried harder than Zoom only to fall flat on its face. It wants to make you laugh. It wants you to have fun. It wants you to like the characters. It wants to do a lot of things, but it just can't muster up enough energy to do any of these things."

  Average score: 4.33
