Good. Gangs of New York is like a really good looking (but boring) date. You hope there's some sugar waiting for you if you persevere, but you've got to get through three hours of monotony before you reach it. And like a boring date, there's not enough substance here to bring you back for a repeat performance.

Final Destination 2
Bland. Absolutely nothing new or interesting. Dreary thrills and pointless gore. Bad acting from the relative unknowns and a terrible plot that had seen better days in the first movie. Let's just pray there wont a sequel and this hackneyed series has reached its final destination.
Far From Heaven
Despite parts of the movie not sitting at all well with Haynes' intended period recreation, Far From Heaven undeniably takes a fascinating look at American racism (and, to a lesser extent, homophobia) which is as relevant today as it was in the 50s.
Equilibrium
Laughably bad sci-fi noir.
Eight Legged Freaks
Average. A few laughs and little else. If you hate spiders, this film is definitely not for you.
Dreamcatcher
Awful but hilariously so.
