We need a baby-sitter we can trust while nursing the last of the season's hangovers. Just try and stay out of the room for the excruciatingly sunny cover of David Bowie's Heroes. Go to Full Review

A sort of sequel to "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl," this film gives kids exactly what they want. Adults? Not so much. Go to Full Review

Donavin D @Hiyromedia Dec 13 Robert Rodriguez has always been a mixed bag of a director, on the one hand the movies he produces are usually on the less expensive side but he does write them charmingly enough — they are a good time even if they aren’t always a good film. We can be Heroes, on the other hand, is unfortunately devoid of his charm and cheesy filmmaking and is my least favorite of his films because of it.
