Joel Schumacher

"The Number 23"
There are at least 23 things wrong with this dunderheaded semi-psychological thriller -- Jim Carrey's only one of them.
"The Phantom of the Opera"
Andrew Lloyd Webber's crowd-pleasing musical lands on the screen with a big, gaudy splat.
"Veronica Guerin"
Cate Blanchett's portrayal of the murdered Irish journalist is a blatant Oscar bid. But Joel Schumacher's crude bio-drama never comes close to asking the real questions.
"Phone Booth"
Kiefer Sutherland is on the line, and he'll say anything to Colin Farrell to steal 80 minutes of your precious time. Just hang up!
"Bad Company"
This cookie-cutter spy thriller depends on the chemistry between Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock. Um, wait, there isn't any.
David Cronenberg
For more than three decades, his films have been taking you to the weirdest of worlds. Lucky for you, you can always walk out -- unless you're too terrified to move.
"Flawless"
"As Good as It Gets" goes downtown in a lame stab at indie credibility from hack director Joel Schumacher.
