Made of Honor (2008)

Romantic Comedy Rated PG-13

“Something didn’t feel quite right, but it wasn’t until the climax when it hit me…

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

Action/Adventure Rated PG

"…makes Spurlock look like the Junior Whopper of Michael Moore-style documentarians."

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008)

Documentary Rated PG

"…raises some interesting questions about the fallibility of evolutionary theory, but does so in such a smug, disingenuous and self-serving manner that it’s hard to take it seriously."
