The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - December 16th, 2003 - Movie ReviewsUltimately, if The Return of the King isn’t quite the thrilling conclusion we were all hoping for, it is still very much a rousingly successful culmination to what may be the most satisfying cinematic trilogy of all time.

The Haunted Mansion (2003)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - November 26th, 2003 - Movie ReviewsDespite a winning moment here and a wonderful one there, The Haunted Mansion has more in common with The Country Bears than it does Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, and that’s too bad.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - October 17th, 2003 - Movie ReviewsThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre wants you to look these demonic figures in the eye and see how long it takes a person to flinch. My bet is said flinching will happen long before the chainsaw purrs.
