Release:
Sep 07 - Review: 28 Feb 09
Black Hat, White Hat, Gray Souls...
...an operatic tale set in the old west, balancing themes of honor, cowardice, heroism, paternalism, on the simplicity of the road movie, the buddy movie, with magnificent performances...

Release: Sep 09 - Review: 4 Feb 10
Sock It To Me.
... jaw-dropping, wonder-making, magnificent animation sight-spectacular, and an ambitious stab at conceptual darkness. Gone awry.

THE 9/11 COMMISSION REPORT
Release: Sep 06 - Review: 11 Dec 08
History rewritten. And rewritten. And rewritten...
We can't even call this propaganda. It's too funny. And by funny, I mean unwatchable.

11:14
 
Release: Oct 03 - Review: 28 Jul 11
A Time to Ill.
An ingenious tripwire thriller, where a series of unrelated events all come together in the wrong place at the wrong time - 11:14 pm.

12 MONKEYS
Release: Jan 96 - Review: 27 Feb 11
BACK TO THE FUTURE by way of BRAZIL.
...a claustrophobic, strangling, time-paradox action stunner; like all Gilliam's films, it's also completely off the rails.

16 BLOCKS
Release: Mar 06 - Review: 30 Jul 08
With Intent To Act...
Rather than Just Another Tough Guy Infurio role, in 16 BLOCKS, Willis has put some nuanced daylight between himself and The John McClane.

17 AGAIN
Release: Apr 09 - Review: 3 Aug 10
Teens and geeks and MILFs. Oh my!
...with all the older and (we presume) more seasoned actors on set, how did the best performance come from the tween idol star of the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL franchise?

Release: Mar 08 - Review: 28 Dec 08
Counting to Dumb.
I don't doubt this may be a true story. That the characters displayed such stupidity, I do doubt.

THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN
Release: Aug 05 - Review: 23 Mar 09
Most fun you can have not having sex.
Judd Apatow's THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN has a premise which is utterly ridiculous, a story utterly preposterous and a cast utterly hilarious.

44 INCH CHEST
Release: Jan 10 - Review: 10 Dec 10
Chest Beating.
Busting at the gray-skied seams with testosterone, 44 INCH CHEST is as blackly humorous and yet as feverishly dramatic as only a cockney London thrasher could be.

50 FIRST DATES
Release:
Feb 04 - Review: 12 May 09
Fuggedaboudit!
Another Adam Sandler movie. Another Chick Flick. Another romantic comedy. Another film that Rob Schneider appears in. All in all, another Spectacular Waste Of Time.

88 MINUTES
 
Release: Apr 08 - Review: 3 Dec 09
87 Minutes Too Long.
Coincidentally, Pacino's hair is so big, he looks like he is auditioning for a pussy-metal band from '88!

THE 99 PERCENT

When Lambs Become Lions.

Arm-ageddon.

300
Release: Mar 07 - Review: 24 Mar 07
Body-shaved for Glory.
...other than that base fact of 300 battle-bred
Spartans smashing up against the insurmountable forces
of Persian King Xerxes, most of this movie is fancy-pants
in a jester's bodysuit.

1408
Release: Jul 07 - Review: 27 Jul 07
Groundhog Day on Smack.
So when he is warned against staying in The Dolphin Hotel’s room 1408, he takes the challenge, only to find actual pants-browning horror awaits.

2001:
A SPACE ODYSSEY
Release: Apr 68 - Review: 31 May 06
Also sprach Kubrick und Clarke.
With the simple placement
of an inexplicable, anachronous object - The Monolith
- Clarke and Kubrick forge the best "true science
fiction" adventure of all time.

2010:
ODYSSEY TWO
Release: Dec 84 - Review: 9 Apr 06
A Midget in the Footsteps of Giants.
Maybe it was this inimitable pedigree
that gave lowly Peter Hyams the impetus to craft such
a reasonably watchable film. 2010: ODYSSEY TWO
is a one-step-forward, one-step-sideways kind of movie.

2012
Release: Nov 09 - Review: 21 Mar 10
And he'll have fun fun fun 'til his daddy takes the CG away...
As disaster movies go, 2012 is definitely the big one. I mean, how do you outrun the world?

MILES TO GRACELAND
Release: Feb 01 - Review: Oct 03
Another Nail In The King's Coffin.
...shreds like shooting-range flak in
the first thirty minutes, which are very Super-Hero, Hard
Guy, flaming-gun-barrel, sneered lips, sequined cloaks
and tight-panted thighs.

10,000 B.C.
Release:
Mar 08 - Review: 11 Sep 08
Mammoth Mistake.
Roland Emmerich's 10,000 B.C. is such an authentic and realistic portrayal of primitive man, it is clear he did all his research by watching THE FLINTSTONES.
