| "Secret Window" is another one of those eerie thrillers where danger
lurks within the shadows. We can almost feel it, and so can the hero,
as he walks through his house, armed with a weapon, ready to defend

| Johnny Depp is usually at his best in low-key performances where his tics and
eccentricities pay off and you're left with an entertaining, mannered
performance. I think back to "Ed Wood," "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" and
"Blow." But when he is stuck in...more |

| "Secret Window" is the kind of film that you walk
into with all sorts of reservations. And then
when you walk out, you're not sure what to make
of it. That feeling stems initially from a bland
trailer that teases us into believing that it is
some sort...more |

| In 1997 a modest little thriller called "Breakdown" caught me quite off
guard. The film starred Kurt Russell as a convincing Everyman whose
wife, during a cross-country road trip, inexplicably goes missing. As
directed by Jonathan Mostow (who...more |

| As many latter-day Stephen King film adaptations seem to be growing
more and more forgettable, it always sparks my interest when a gilded
cast such as this decides to (on paper) slum their way through
another one. John Turturro, art house favorite...more |

| Maybe my expectations of Secret Window were too high. But can you blame me?
It stars the world's greatest actor who doesn't look like Charles Bronson
