Dario Argento’s Trauma (5/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 5:12 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 5:13 pm

It has its moments, but Trauma suffers from horrible dialogue (even for Argento), a wholly inappropriate score and many bad editing choices that simply kill any suspense. I blame Minnesota.

The House of Exorcism (6/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 5:12 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 5:12 pm

An entertaining rethink of Lisa and the Devil.

Kidnapped (7/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 5:11 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 5:12 pm

In many ways, much tighter than Rabid Dogs, but the ending ruins the film.

The House by the Cemetary (6/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 5:05 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 5:05 pm

Fulci haunted house movie. Pretty slow until the finale.

The Antichrist (5/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 5:04 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 5:04 pm

Starts out interesting but loses focus in the second, exorcist wannbe, half.

Grindhouse (8/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 5:04 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 5:04 pm

Shallow and stupid, but I guess that’s the point. Nonetheless, always entertaining. Tarantino’s section is mediocre but the fake previews are great.

The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg (Parapluies de Cherbourg, Les) (8/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 5:03 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 5:03 pm

Visually stunning French film. If you don’t like musicals, just turn down the sound and read the subtitles… you won’t know you’re watching one.

Indagine su un Cittadino al di Sopra di Ogni Sospetto (Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion) (9/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 5:02 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 5:03 pm

An ingaging film about corruption, power and the law. There are threads of dark comedy mixed in with the tense drama and a bouncy score by Ennio Morricone to boot.

Horton Hears a Who (6/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 5:02 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 5:02 pm

Mildly entertaining, but caters too much to the Shrek crowd.

The New York Ripper (6/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 5:01 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 5:02 pm

You’d be hard pressed to find a movie that hated its female characters any more than this one does. This is some sleazy film making with some effective murder scenes and a nice soundtrack.
