• Boondock Saints, The directed by Troy Duffy (1999)

  [7/10]

  "The Boondock Saints presents an interesting conundrum. When you look back at the plot, the movie really doesn't have too much substance. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed watching The Boondock Saints."

• Brothers Grimm, The directed by Terry Gilliam (2005)

  [6/10]

  "Expect to laugh, but you shouldn't expect comedy on the order of Gilliam's Monty Python days."

• Zathura: A Space Adventure by Chris Van Allsburg (2002)

  [5/10]

  "If you have read Jumanji, Zathura offers no real surprises. You already know that the game will alter reality, so we don't experience any shock when a meteor really does crash through the roof. But I find Van Allsburg's illustrations in Zathura inferior to his work in Jumanji."

• Zathura directed by Jon Favreau (2005)

  [6/10]

  "If you've seen Jumanji, then you pretty much have seen Zathura. In essence, a couple of kids find an old game, start to play, and then realize that the game affects reality in quite serious and perilous ways."
