Zodiac
"The film mostly reminded me of HBO's "The Wire" as it just nails the minutia of police work and epiphanies aren't these grand dramatic moments but often something you quietly discover. This is a film of small victories and defeat stretched out over the course of years. It's rather depressing but not in the way Fincher's previous films have been.

"It was one hell of a show. The script was a masterful balance between horror, intrigue, and even some comedy. Despite the patches of time that you start to feel its length, the story still holds and engages you. I can't wait to see the final condensed cut..." (full review)

I never got distracted by any poor animation or plot holes. The families around me seemed to enjoy it enough, and I hope that a lot of families do go to see this flick..." (full review)


Superman Returns
"Like his superhero, director Bryan Singer carries an Atlas-like burden [but]...with thorough, fan-friendly fetishism, Singer honors the Superman mythos..." (full review)

"Drab looking, underwhelming and inferior to all four of the Superman films that starred Christopher Reeve...But at least it's better than Supergirl..." (full review)

"Superman Returns is a pleasant enough piece of hackwork, anonymous in all the right ways so that it neither offends nor thrills..." (full review)
