...Mothman Prophecies begins with some intriguing title credits—unfortunately, it pretty much rolls downhill from there. The film stars Richard Gere (who seems to have reached the pinnacle of his acting career with Robert Altman’s sorely underrated Dr. T and the Women) as John Klein, a star reporter for The Washington Post who loses his wife (Debra Messing) in a car accident that may or may not have been predicted by a mysterious Mothman. A certain spark, courtesy of director Mark Pellington, energizes these opening scenes: the car accident itself is well-staged and slightly...

Roque was a hunky, sensitive improvement over the losers she says she had married before. He looked more like Richard Gere than Richard Gere does; he held a steady job, was warm to Martinez' two young kids, washed the dishes and never hit her. And he was a hero--a Cuban air force pilot who three years earlier had bolted Fidel Castro's communist dictatorship...
