Jeepers Creepers 2 In JC2, many of the scenes are quite thrilling and Victor Salva (director/writer) does a good job of building thrilling scariness to otherwise a basic premise. Reviews/Film 08/29/2003
Freddy vs. Jason If you are a fan of either the Nightmare on Elm Street Film Series or of Friday the 13th Series, you will love Freddy Vs. Jason. The film is full of all its schlock, a touch of suspense, inane plot, dim witted but pretty teens and plenty of gratuitous violence and blood. Reviews/Film 08/15/2003
S.W.A.T. After a summer of underwhelming, poorly performing sequels, S.W.A.T. indulges in its uniqueness as a film that adds spunk to the summer season. Reviews/Film 08/08/2003

In an interview with blackfilm.com, Harrison Ford talks about his role in the comedy film, Hollywood Homicide and being on "low mileage" in the business. Features/Interviews 06/20/2003
Hollywood Homocide The pairing of Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett is cute but the chemistry I found wanting along with the numerous plot holes that continuously open up in the movie. Reviews/Film 06/13/2003

X2 (X-Men United) : An Interview with Rebecca Romijin-Stamos The 5’11 former supermodel Rebecca Romijin-Stamos is a statuesque beauty.

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. Reviews/Film 04/04/2003
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. Reviews/Film 04/04/2003

Biker Boyz Biker Boyz is based on an article that appeared in the Los Angeles New Times in 1999. It detailed the rarely heard of world of black motorcycle clubs that fraternize and compete in races up and down southern California.
