Phone Booth
This slick thriller about a slimy agent type who picks up a phone and is told he will die if he hangs up is about as high concept as it gets. However, Director Joel Schumacher flips the script when the story becomes a predictable and tedious tale of truth and redemption.

A Man Apart
A Man Apart, the latest Vin Diesel vehicle, falls delving into a tedious game of menacing stares, vapid confrontations and nonsensical dead-end plot lines.

DysFUNKtional Family
DysFUNKtional Family tries to combine the stand-up of Eddie Griffin with the outrageousness of his close family members. The problem, however, is that outside of a few jokes, it is terribly unfunny.
