Reviews Featuring Alison Lohman

Matchstick Men
Just when the confidence trick film seemed to have breathed its last, Ridley Scott has come along and given it new life by expanding its horizons. Not just a pretty scam (although it certainly is that), but also a redemptive drama whose deeply flawed central character is allowed to develop and change. Not a world changer, but far more intelligent and moving than 'Gladiator'.

Big Fish
This is already looking like a strong contender for best film of 2004.

White Oleander
An unremarkable women’s flick.

Drag Me to Hell
Sometimes funny, often scary, Drag Me To Hell is exactly what a horror gal likes in her movies—blood, goats, bugs, and people I don’t want to see die.

Beowulf
This was never going to be a classic but it's got a timeless story, great animation and is a fun watch to be taken with a pinch of salt.
