The 11th Hour - PG

Has lots of good info, but is a bit too academic. The constant barrage of information gets a bit heavy after a while.

Hellboy - PG-13

3.5 for the movie and an extra.5 for the bonus features. Guillermo has a talent for bringing fantasy to the screen.

Cronos - R
|

This low-budget Guillermo flick provides an interesting spin of films of the same genre, but suffers from poor character development and plot holes.

El Orfanato (The Orphanage) - R

Better than Devil's backbone. Belen Rueda is excellent, the story is very good and the unusual un-hollywood-like ending made it even better.

The Descent - R

Not even remotely scary unless you're scared of blood. It's better with the original ending though.

Battle Royale (Batoru Rowaiaru) - Unrated
|

If Tarantino and the WWE made a movie together it would be this movie; It's totally absurd, sadistic, mindless violence (but without the clever dialogue). As one character dies, her last words are "you're so cool".

Beowulf - PG-13

I never read Beowulf but I did like this movie. It's like Fight Club meets Lord of the Rings. The strong gore and sexuality may be a bit inappropriate for the kiddies though.

Right at Your Door - R

It's the low budget cousin of Bug. Implausible scenario, mediocre acting, and a twist so stupid that M Nigh Shyamalan no doubt had his hands on it at some point all make this a "wait for it on cable" movie.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail - PG

Part hilarious, part goofy. When it works it's funny as hell. When a skit doesn't work it just goes on WAY too long.

Plan 9 from Outer Space - Unrated
|
|
Yes, it's bad but it's very watchable. The dialogue is so bad that it'll either be confusing or funny. "...and remember my friends - future events such as these... will affect you in the future." At 2 hrs it is long though.

In the Shadow of the Moon - PG

Feels like it's missing something. Not nearly as interesting a film as I would have hoped. Not even up to par with a Discovery Channel documentary.

Diary of the Dead - R

With all due respect, Mr. Romero, it's time to hang it up. EVEN if the acting hadn't been as bad as it was, lines like, "at first it was us against us - now it's us against them - only they are us" (cheesy) ensure that even Meryl Streep couldn't have saved this turd.

Although not one of my favorite Terry Gilliam films, Brazil is interesting and worth watching. it does run a little too long for my taste though.

Real Dirt on Farmer John - Unrated

Has moments that will make you laugh and a few that will definitely jerk some tears (if not make you cry), but over all Siegel turns an extraordinary subject into an ordinary documentary.

The Devil and Daniel Johnston - PG-13

Although Daniel isn't technically strong, the guy is very creative and prolific. The film and Daniel are both inspirational though at times feels as though his creativity is being exploited at Daniel's expense.

Has lots of good music and is very informative. The documentary format doesn't have the same energy as seeing it live BUT it gets great energy from the very entertaining cast including the Skratch Piklz, Shadow, Premo, Babu and others.
