Nothing we haven’t seen before, Pandorum is still a suspenseful take on the “lost in space” theme that sci-fi fans will enjoy.
Fame
There’s just no reason to recommend this plot-free, bland, choppy musical that may one day be the most embarrassing listing on some of its cast’s resumes.
The Informant!
Often funny and always well-acted, it’s sometimes a bit inconsistent, but still proof that Matt Damon can handle just about anything.

More character-driven spy romantic comedy than espionage movie, this film harkens back to the classic days of the “star” film, and for the witty back and forth alone, this is better than you may have heard.
Whiteout
Whiteout could’ve been a taut, suspenseful crime thriller, but instead, it’s a lot of bad dialogue and dull mystery that leads up to a lackluster climax — but the snow is pretty.
