REVIEWS
Inception Movie Review
Url: http://www.mania.com/inception-movie-review_article_124073.html
Christopher Nolan's Inception officially joins Toy Story 3 as the savior of the summer. The two films stand so far beyond anything else onscreen right now that comparisons seem almost quaint.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice Movie Review
Url: http://www.mania.com/sorcerers-apprentice-review_article_124005.html
Jerry Bruckheimer has been producing empty-headed crowd pleasers for over thirty years, and by now, you either have to accept him at face value or give up on the entire notion of summer movies.
True Blood: 9 Crimes Review
Url: http://www.mania.com/true-blood-9-crimes-review_article_123964.html
The fourth episode of True Blood this season raises an uncomfortable question: has too much soapiness entered into the equation? True Blood stands as the most prominent grown-up response to teeny-bopper vamps of the Twilight and Vampire Diaries variety.
Haven: Welcome to Haven Review
Url: http://www.mania.com/haven-welcome-to-review_article_123946.html
The pilot for Haven aptly demonstrates both its modest strengths and its copious weaknesses. Its principal failing is that it doesn't feel significantly different than Eureka, Warehouse 13 or any of Syfy's other bastard X-Files stepchildren.
