Drama Rated PG-13

"How many of us were first introduced to the giddy, gory glory of the movies at a friend’s house?"

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)

Action/Adventure Rated PG

“One of those occasional Steven Spielberg disasters…”

Smart People (2008)

Drama Rated R

“The more rumpled Dennis Quaid has become, the more interesting he’s gotten as an actor…

Chaos Theory (2008)

Drama Rated PG-13

“…has more ludicrous plot developments than an entire season of soap opera, which would be OK if this were a farce.

Drama Rated R

"…ostensibly about the last few days in Chapman’s life, but it’s really about how much Leto’s belly bulges over his waistband."
