• Flightplan directed by Robert Schwentke (2005)

  [5/10]

  "Flightplan recreates Jodie Foster's character in Panic Room but puts her in a much bigger room (a jumbo jet) and with a bigger cast."

• Horse Whisperer, The directed by Robert Redford (1998)

  [5/10]

  "In order to enjoy The Horse Whisperer, you must meet at least five of the following six criteria: you like horses or movies about horses, you like to look at Robert Redford, you like movies with panoramic scenes of the American West, you like semi-tragic romance movies, and you are a woman. If you meet these criteria, then you will not even notice that 160 minutes passed by while watching The Horse Whisperer."

• Mission to Mars directed by Brian De Palma (2000)

  [5/10]

  "As an avid science fiction fan, I find the ideas in Mission to Mars stale and hardly worth the effects budget. Like Lost in Space, the Mission to Mars producers seem more concerned with creating a visually appealing film than creating an interesting plot or hiring some really good astrophysicists as consultants."

• Nightmare before Christmas, The directed by Henry Selick (1993)

  [7/10]

  "The typical and unsurprising plot doesn't provide much satisfaction, but visually Nightmare provides a fun, creative atmosphere that has so much detail that you can see something new every time you watch."

• Shanghai Noon directed by Tom Dey (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)."

• Step Up directed by Anne Fletcher (2006)

  [5/10]

  "When you watch a movie like Step Up, you wish the producers had just left out the lame, connect-the-scenes plot and just given us twice as much dancing."

• Village, The directed by M. Night Shyamalan (2004)

  [5/10]

  "Shyamalan has assembled a stellar cast, and the actors do their best with the script's questionable motivation and silly dialogue."

  Average score: 5.57
