A group of people clash in a summer house. Nothing substantial happens here in one of Woody Allen's more annoying movies. D
Bullitt (1968)
Directed by: Peter Yates
Written by: Robert L. Fish; Harry Kleiner + Alan Trustman
Starring: Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn, Jacqueline Bisset, Don Gordon, Robert Duvall, Simon Oakland, Norman Fell
A policeman is assigned to guard a witness from the mob. The movie is famous for a chase scene, that isn't even that impressive by today's standards. The rest of the movie is so slow it's hard to keep track of the plot, or remain interested. C
Time After Time (1979)
Directed by: Nicholas Meyer

Starring: Malcolm McDowell, David Warner, Mary Steenburgen, Charles Cioffi, Kent Williams, Andonia Katsaroos, Patti D'Arbanville
H.G. Welles travels back in time to present day San Francisco to track down Jack the Ripper. Despite the subject matter, it's more of a fish out of water comedy than a thriller. C
Darkman (1990)
Directed by: Sam Raimi
Written by: Sam Raimi + Chuck Pfarrer + Ivan Raimi + Daniel Goldin + Joshua Goldin
Starring: Liam Neeson, Frances McDormand, Colin Friels, Larry Grant, Nelson Mashita
Like most of Sam Raimi's films, this one, about a scientist scarred in a chemical fire turned vigilante, is obnoxious, overblown, loud and ultimately hollow. C+
