1.5/4.0
     (2008)      "The feel-good Japanese horror remake vehicle of the year! No, that's a bad thing." [movie review]      MovieCrypt.com

1.0/4.0
     (2007)      "... why not just film an intergalactic reality show where eager young predators can prove their worth for fabulous prizes by surviving 24 hours on the alien homeworld?" [movie review]      MovieCrypt.com

3.0/4.0

2/4
     (2007)      "... a guarded comedy too gun shy to take its concept to the zany, over-the-top heights fans of Sandler have come to expect." [movie review]      MovieCrypt.com
