1.5/4
     (2003)      "Cabin Fever lived up to its title; I felt trapped inside the theater and had an itchy feeling because I wanted out so badly." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
4/4
     (2005)      "Sometimes movie biographies (even when dealing with fascinating people) are dry and familiar. Capote, on the other hand, is full of life." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3.5/4
     (2006)      "If you've enjoyed the other Pixar entries, then Cars won't disappoint. It's another grand slam from the masters of animation." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2006)      "Casino Royale maintains Bond on the same level quality-wise; it's good but not the great film I keep waiting for." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2002)      "A fascinating what-if story of the rich and famous." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "The movie takes subject matter that seems depressing and infuses it with humor and warmth." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3.5/4
     (2002)      "This is a movie with just about everything going for it: great acting, solid direction, and a story you won't soon forget." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2001)      "So much fun you may want to lick yourself." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
1.5/4
     (2004)      "The complete absence of a distinct visual style robs Catwoman of its imagination and wonder. It looks and feels utterly flat, which is the kiss of death in this genre" [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
1.5/4
     (2005)      "Just watch the last half-hour of The Cave when it hits HBO or Cinemax. That’ll be all you need to see, and you won’t have to waste eight bucks on it." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
1/4
          "The Cell 2 takes one of the most original and disturbing horror movies of recent years and turns it into a generic torture porn flick." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2004)      "Good acting, solid direction, and some genuine cleverness carry you right over the plot holes." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2009)      "This is a fun movie, as well as an interesting peek into what entertains audiences in a different culture." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3.5/4
     (2008)      "The film is nothing less than riveting. What hooked me above all else was the chance to peer into a different era where trust went a lot further than it does today." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
4/4
     (2002)      "The movie understands - and depicts - the self-destruction inherent in trying to make somebody else pay." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
2/4
     (2008)      "The cast is good and the themes are compelling, but the execution is a bit of a mess." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2005)      "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is, pardon the pun, the ultimate eye candy. It’s every bit as enjoyable as sinking your teeth into a great big Hershey bar." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "You won't likely be blown away by the film, and it's not as hard-hitting as it probably ought to be. Still, it's a solid picture with enough good elements to sell it." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2003)      "Anyone going to this movie expecting substance, subtlety, or sophistication is barking up the wrong tree. Like its predecessor, the sequel simply asks you to surrender yourself to the fun." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
4/4
     (1997)      "Many films try to explore the romantic and sexual dynamics between men and women. Few do it as provocatively, humorously, or bravely as Chasing Amy." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
2/4
     (2004)      "The total familiarity of the plot wore on my nerves, especially since the movie could have been better than it is." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/3
     (2003)      "Not a brilliant comedy, but sturdy and reliable, with plenty of laughs." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
4/4
     (2002)      "One of the movie events of the year." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2005)      "The movie is fun for all ages, and besides – who could resist this charming, insecure, heroic little clucker?" [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3.5/4
     (2006)      "There is something satisfying about a movie that forces you to hang onto it %u2013 one where the impact grows greater the more you think about it." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
1.5/4
     (2004)      "Imagine someone telling you the joke about the chicken crossing the road repeatedly for 98 minutes. You have now imagined this film." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
1/4
     (2008)      "This sorry sequel is so boring, so unimaginative, and so blandly by-the-numbers that it's almost like [an affront] to the very audience members who made the original a worldwide hit." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
2.5/4
     (2005)      "In some ways it is a very good picture, yet it also should have been better than it is...You can feel The Chronicles of Narnia trying too hard to be the Next Big Thing." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
2.5/4
     (2004)      "Have you ever tried to watch a TV series, like “The Sopranos” or “Twin Peaks,” without starting at the beginning? It's disorienting. That's what watching this movie is like." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2000)      "A funny, observant, and smart look at how differences in values can take place within one family." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2005)      "It might not move your soul, but it at least puts a smile on your face." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
1.5/4
     (2009)      "Starts off strongly, which only makes its drastic eventual decline that much more disappointing. What could have been a really quirky, edgy teen horror comedy instead turns into a crushing bore." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2002)      "City by the Sea is a good film that yearns to be a great one." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3.5/4
     (2008)      "I found City of Ember to be one of the most pleasant moviegoing surprises of the year. Imaginative, exciting, dramatic, and even fun." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3.5/4
     (1998)      "The performances are solid and Oscar-worthy." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3.5/4
     (2006)      "Clerks II is a perfect example of what a sequel should be. It takes characters and situations that were created in the original, then expands and deepens them." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2006)      "It's a flawed film, but most people go to Adam Sandler movies to just unwind and have fun. It works at that level." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2008)      "Cloverfield is a real 21st century kind of movie; it's a horror film for the You Tube generation. It's also bleak and scary." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3.5/4
     (2003)      "Not many movies have characters you can warm up to the way Cold Mountain does. That makes it a real treasure." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2004)      "The movie is intense, not for the scenes of action, but for the way evil and decency fight it out on the conversational battleground of two men." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2002)      "Collateral Damage works on a level of wish-fulfillment. I say, put Arnie on a plane to Afghanistan now." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2002)      "Kaufman, Clooney, and company have interpreted Barris's story beautifully, but it was a flawed story to begin with." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2003)      "Confidence has a nifty scam at its core, but it also has enough confidence of its own to let the fine performances be the real star of the show." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2003)      "Confidence has a nifty scam at its core, but it also has enough confidence of its own to let the fine performances be the real star of the show." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3.5/4
     (2005)      "This is one of those rare movies that feels genuinely alive; it’s about something substantial and there wasn’t a moment when I wasn’t involved." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2005)      "This is by no means a perfect movie, but it’s stylish, eerie, and better acted than you might expect. It also has at least half a brain in its head." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2003)      "Although the ending is a let-down, it’s still interesting to see the lessons luck ultimately teaches each of the characters." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3.5/4
     (2009)      "Coraline is just dazzling to look at, the kind of film where the frame seems to be bursting with things to discover." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
3/4
     (2003)      "When we are living in a post-terrorism era (and in a current war situation), it's kind of nice to sit down and watch a movie in which everyone is worrying about something we in the audience really don't have to worry about." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat   
  
2.5/4
     (2002)      "The bottom line is that this movie is well worth a $3.00 video rental but not necessarily a $7.00 ticket price." [movie review]      The Aisle Seat
