Mark of the Devil |
7 |
Interesting and well-acted witch hunt movie. Lots of torture. |
Hostel |
8 |
Good, suspenseful and gross. |
Frenzy |
9 |
Hitchcock does giallo! Nice character development and twisted humor. |
Opera |
9 |
A lame ending and some bad music choices hinder this otherwise great Argento movie. |
Manhattan Baby |
5 |
Lots of really nice close-up facial photography, but a dull plot. Only high point is the stuffed bird attack at the very end. |
Alucarda |
7 |
Stylish Mexican horror movie. Surreal imagery overshadows the weak plot. Sorta falls apart towards the end of the second act. |
Howl's Moving Castle |
6 |
The plot is a mess, even by Miazaki's standards. The art is nice though. |
The Cat o' Nine Tails |
7 |
A decent thriller, but it needed more Karl Maulden and less handsome guy. |
Four Flies on Gray Velvet |
7 |
I probably would have like this better if the sound was in tact. The story and mystery is obvious, but some of the stalker... more |
Lizard in a Woman's Skin |
8 |
Good mystery. Lucio Fulci is a bit of a clumsy director, but manages to provide a few surprises even though it lacks the... more |
Rear Window |
9 |
Hitchcock at his finest. |
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire |
7 |
Not as good as #3, but the ending is worth all the cheesy dragon fighting. |
Blood and Black Lace |
8 |
My first Mario Bava movie. The blue print of the modern slasher film. There's lots of stylized lighting but didn't quite hold... more |
Bio Zombie |
5 |
Low, low budget Japanese zombie movie. Terrible make-up. No scares. There are a few funny gags though: finger sushi and a... more |
Drunken Master |
6 |
Nowhere near as good as the sequel. |
Deep Red |
9 |
Great music and a twist that will have you immediately rewatching the first few scenes when it's over. I hesitatingly think the... more |
The Aristocrats |
8 |
Interesting documentary co-produced Penn Jillete that dissects a single raunchy joke. Lots of funny moments and lots of... more |
Robot Monster |
4 |
One of the worst movies ever made. |
Dementia 13 |
8 |
Francis Ford Coppola's first feature. A low budget triller with good twists and nice pacing. The ending is a little weak and... more |
Assignment Outer Space |
3 |
Low budget sci-fi from the 50s. Only noteworthy for its hard-scifi aspirations. |
Living Doll |
7 |
British production from the producer of Pieces. Pretty good but suffers from mediocre acting in what is essentially a character... more |
Spongebob Squarepants Movie |
7 |
As good as any episode but not S.B. at his best. |
Curious George |
4 |
Very boring. Music gets annoying after a while. |
Wallace and Grommit and the Curse of the Were Rabbit |
9 |
Much better than Chicken Run. Funny for adults and kids. |
Triplets of Bellville |
8 |
Crazy stylized animation about cycling. |
March of the Penguins |
7 |
Somewhat cheesy in its anthropomorphic overkill, but very good nonetheless. |
March of the Penguins |
7 |
Somewhat cheesy in its anthropomorphic overkill, but very good nonetheless. |
Sister Streetfighter |
5 |
This sequel has nothing to do with the other 2 Streetfighter movies except for a few shared actors (who aren't even reprising... more |
Zombie Genocide |
5 |
Sixty minute homemade zombie film. Admirable for a bunch of Scottish undergrads, but sloppy as all get out. |
My Neighbor Totoro |
8 |
Miyazaki film with beautiful characterization and animation. The plot is a bit thin and just seems to end at the wrong place. |
Gattaca |
7 |
Slow moving sci-fi ala Brave New World. The DNA distopia idea isn't very interesting, but a decent formula mystery. |
The Return of the Streetfighter |
6 |
Mediocre sequel. Too many flashbacks and not enough story. A few good fights make up for the bad spots. |
