Gone in 60 Seconds
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday June 9, 2000 If "Gone in 60 Seconds" were a car, you'd say it had more muscle than finesse. Fast and flashy in spurts, it has a tendency to run ragged and spends an unhealthy amount of time idling pointlessly at intersections. It's not the...Tags: Scott Caan, Robert Duvall, Crime, Law and Justice, Robert Stone, Christopher Eccleston

Jesus' Son
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday June 23, 2000 In an age of known quantities, "Jesus' Son" is almost indefinable.

Movie review, 'The Mothman Prophecies'

Movie review: 'The Punisher'

In "The Punisher," the...Tags: Comedy (genre), Laura Harring, Crime, Law and Justice, Drug Trafficking, Organized Crime

'The Punisher'
