Man of the House (2005) 9% 0.5/4 EDIT “Mindless, vapid fare.” – New York Post Feb 28, 2005 Full Review Sunset Story (2003) 93% 3/4 EDIT “Gabbert expertly delivers a far more powerful message with honesty, humor and palpable respect.” – New York Post Feb 25, 2005 Full Review Harry and Max (2004) 5% 1/4 EDIT “Director Christopher Munch deftly raises disturbing questions, but he fumbles badly when groping for answers.” – New York Post Feb 18, 2005 Full Review Bigger Than the Sky (2005) 12% 1.5/4 EDIT “Nearly two hours of an earnest, predictable comedy about a pathetic schlemiel who hopes to redeem himself by acting in the community theater.” – New York Post Feb 18, 2005 Full Review The Religion Hour (My Mother's Smile) (2002) 83% 2.5/4 EDIT “An edgy drama unwinds with an emotional letdown.” – New York Post Feb 11, 2005 Full Review The Nomi Song (2004) 94% 2.5/4 EDIT “A thorough if predictable Behind the Music episode.” – New York Post Feb 4, 2005 Full Review Assisted Living (2003) 76% 1.5/4 EDIT “Playing jokes on old people isn't funny.” – New York Post Feb 2, 2005 Full Review Daybreak (2003) 50% 2.5/4 EDIT “By the time the sun rises and these tormented parallel lives finally intersect, they've all achieved redemption -- as has the movie.” – New York Post Feb 2, 2005 Full Review Hide and Seek (2005) 12% 1/4 EDIT “It's become almost trite to criticize him for his recent string of dubious movies, but we'll do it anyway, because he's capable of so much better.” – New York Post Jan 28, 2005 Full Review Head-On (2004) 91% 3.5/4 EDIT “Any sense of predictability is extinguished by these two thoroughly engaging actors. Despite their less-than-saintly behavior, you won't be able to take your eyes off either.” – New York Post Jan 21, 2005 Full Review Watermarks (2004) 96% 3/4 EDIT “A moving, poignant tale about triumph in the face of the unthinkable.” – New York Post Jan 21, 2005 Full Review Coach Carter (2005) 63% 2/4 EDIT “The inspirational tale becomes just another by-the-numbers, clich-ridden sports film.” – New York Post Jan 14, 2005 Full Review Murder-Set-Pieces (2004) 30% 0/4 EDIT “Aspires to be a highly stylized exploration of the mind of a serial killer, but it's nothing more than a gory, bloodsoaked snuff film, reveling in its own shock value as women are stabbed, strangled, raped and mutilated.” – New York Post Jan 7, 2005 Full Review
