Filed under: Horror , Thrillers , Trailers and Clips Is it really fair to judge a movie by its trailer? Maybe not, but I've been a moviegoer long enough to know to trust my instincts. So after watching the trailer for the Mischa Barton thriller, Walled In , I am going to have to go with my gut and stay far away from this one. Barton stars in the adaptation of the French novel Les...

Megan Fox has been named the world's sexiest woman . Well, I think we all know what's coming now, so sit back, get comfortable, and let's enjoy... 30 Women (give or take) who are sexier than Megan Fox. (nothing personal, Megan) Amber Benson .

Sigh...somehow, I never thought I'd miss Veronica Mars as much as I do. Kristen Bell is an "it" girl of the moment and I'm happy for her...but it's just not the same. As the lovelies of That '70s Show go, I've always had more of a thing for Laura Prepon, but I've gotta say Mila Kunis is darned cute. Kim Kardashian. I'm sorry...but those things just have to be diverting blood from her brain. Apparently,...

A movie as astoundingly awful as 88 Minutes requires more than the critical drubbing and box-office punting it is guaranteed to receive.

A slop bucket of misconceived tricks, rigor-mortis mood, and laughable intentions, Jon Avnet's 88 Minutes certainly isn't the first bad movie that the still-feral Al Pacino has top-lined but, for one reason or another, it feels like the first time that the actor hasn't tried to save himself from the sinking ship. In the vein of , another vacuous thriller too hard-nosed to play it loose or be creative,...

Al Pacino tries hard to make this squirrelly thriller worth your time.

From its murderous opening scene - a smarmy, voyeuristic nighttime attack on twin sisters in their apartment, in their underwear - to the preposterous, bodies-dangling-on-ropes-and-pulleys climax, 88 Minutes proves itself to be a maddeningly mediocre, ineptly manipulative "real-time" thriller. (A real-time thriller that's almost 20 minutes longer than its title suggests.)

Bad news: Al Pacino's "88 Minutes" loiters around for 19 minutes longer than the title suggests. Worse, it feels like 188 minutes.

As the opening credits roll here, you find yourself wondering just why this barely slipped out straight to DVD. Directed by Jon Avnet, Al Pacino, Alicia Witt, Deborah Kara Unger, Leelee Sobieski, William Forsythe, Amy Brenneman … I only needed the names of Pacino and Witt earlier this year to make me think, “Oh dear [...]
