A few Saturdays ago, I re-watched Cliffhanger. Now, that's a movie. Why is its director, Renny Harlin, once a dependable big-action guru, making sub-schlock like The Covenant? This is cobbled-together teenybopper tripe about feuding male witches — apparently they can't even be granted the manlier dignity of being called ''warlocks'' — with nothing to offer but classic bad dialogue. The Bad Male Witch taunts the Good Male Witch by asking, ''How 'bout I make you my wee-yotch?'' Seriously, Renny Harlin: What are you doing?
WARLOCK HELL The heartthrob he-witches of The Covenant won't bring you under their spell
