DARK WATER
"Walter Salles, who previously directed the Oscar-nominated films "Central Station" and "The Motorcycle Diaries," guides this stylish remake through treacherous territory to create a distressing, subtly suspenseful film full of emotional resonance.
"

DARK CITY
"Hypnotic, haunting and, to be sure, dark. It is among the most memorable cinematic ventures in recent years."
                       San Francisco Chronicle

CREEPERS
"If you want to shudder and thrill at things that go bzzz in the night, then be sure and add Creepers to your must-see list."
                              Stacy Layne Wilson

MULHOLLAND FALLS
"One of the key casting decisions was to use Jennifer Connelly as the wounded beauty at the heart of the story. Connelly is sexy in the way Marilyn Monroe was sexy -- as if she doesn't quite believe it, and can't quite help it -- and she finds the right note, halfway between innocence and heedless abandon."
                                         Roger Ebert

HULK
"Though some will complain that "Hulk" is too dark and serious, they're missing Ang Lee's point -- and Stan Lee's as well.
All the actors give performances beyond the call of comic-book movie duty."
                              Michael Wilmington
                                  Chicago Tribune

WAKING THE DEAD
"Jennifer Connelly gives a career-making performance in Waking the Dead as a young woman whose sincerity and fire will haunt the hero his entire life."
                                       Mick LaSalle
                      San Francisco Chronicle

THE HOT SPOT
"Jennifer Connelly, as the innocent bookkeeper down at the office, is perfectly cast as the good girl who has been bruised by an uncaring world ... movie lovers who have marinated their imaginations in the great B movies ... will recognize The Hot Spot as a superior work in an old tradition."
                                         Roger Ebert

THE ROCKETEER
"The kind of movie magic that we don't see much anymore. Billy Campbell and Jennifer Connelly play their underwritten roles with unexpected but welcome relish. Campbell has an appealing klutziness that wards off blandness. And Connelly, a child star (Labyrinth) turned bombshell (The Hot Spot), is equally spirited. Even when the camera plunges down her impressive cleavage (there are more dives here than in The Abyss), Connelly radiates the kind of intelligence that shows she's in on the joke."
                                       Peter Travers
                                       Rolling Stone
