Reviews Featuring Kate Beckinsale
Underworld
Some people will think that a film about vampires and werewolves is inherently silly, and should be watched only for its visceral thrills (which 'Underworld' certainly has). Yet at a time when mainstream American discourse would have us believe that in war everything is black and white, 'Underworld' represents an important voice of reasoned dissent in its suggestion that war is in fact a morally messy business, with complicated and often misunderstood causes - which makes 'Underworld' not just a kick-ass monster free-for-all, but also a vampire film with unexpectedly political bite.
Van Helsing
This hundred-mile-an-hour goth-romp leaves you gasping for breath – but not for more.
Laurel Canyon
Empty-skulled drama that just doesn’t have anything to say.
Brokedown Palace
Enough to put you off Thailand for life!! And drug-smuggling, for that matter.
Shooting Fish
An instantly forgettable experience.
The Golden Bowl
Torture has a new name, and ‘The Golden Bowl’ is it.
Serendipity
All you need is (g)love(s).
Pearl Harbor
It’s big, it’s loud, and it’s a bit of an all-American mess – but it’s not quite as bad as you might expect.
The Aviator
In this stunning period biopic, Scorsese exposes the American dream to the law of gravity.
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.
