The Wolfman Movie Review

Considering all of the horrendous production problems The Wolfman faced, it's a miracle we have a completed movie at all. The fact that it's actually rather good comes as icing on the cake.

Lost: What Kate Does Review

Url: http://www.mania.com/lost-kate-does-review_article_120510.html

Two weeks into Lost's final season and we Kate do what she does best. Run. Kate's been a big avoider her entire life, and Safe Landing Universe Kate is just following the blueprint left by Island Bound Kate.

Saw VI Unrated DVD Review

There are those that have proclaimed Saw VI as being the triumphant return of the series but they are easily led…or deluded.

Heroes: Brave New World Review

Url: http://www.mania.com/heroes-brave-new-world-review_article_120496.html

Heroes' latest season comes to an end and as with NBC's previous seasons, the show is all about the build up and not much at all about the finale.
