Heavenly Creatures - R September 2, 2008  
N/A
Quick Change - R I had not seen this film for years. It's just as good as ever. Would make a good double-bill with AFTER HOURS. August 25, 2008  
N/A
Death Race - R Anyone who tells you this movie is good is a liar. I'd just assume re-watch ALIEN VS PREDATOR again. C'mon Anderson!? I love RESIDENT EVIL and EVENT HORIZON! You're killing me... August 16, 2008  
N/A
Diary of the Dead - R Hang it up, George. You're concepts are dead.

Here's a great idea for a movie: A should-be retired horror filmmaker struggles to find his inspiration in a wasteland of imitators. He finds loves with a young woman on the set of his most recent re-hashed idea and strives to re-write the film and infuse it with the new found passion he feels for life and unrequited love. And then zombies attack...

N/A
Pineapple Express - R A sloppy mess. James Franco makes it all work though. A brilliant beginning and I simply cannot dismiss the inspired idea for the Huey Lewis theme song - but overall - blahhhhhh... August 16, 2008  
N/A
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Hellboy 2) - PG-13 Where did it go wrong? Great monsters, great production design but none of what the first one work. It pains me to say this, but I was dissatisfied on a whole. August 16, 2008  
N/A
Wild Boys of the Road (Dangerous Days) - Unrated During the Depression, two teen boys leave home to search for work and meet other young adults in similar predicaments. Typical Pre-Code era film with a stinging societal slant; blaming the issues of crime as a problem that rests in all of our hands.
One of the best movies I've watched in a long while.
June 28, 2008  
N/A
The Spiderwick Chronicles - PG Good stuff. Harkens back to the kind of 'dark' kids movies from my youth. And did I just see Andrew McCarthy? February 27, 2008  
N/A
Dolores Claiborne - R I love the passages of time and the transitions from the past to present day. Danny Elfman's music here is sublime. February 26, 2008  
N/A
To Die For - R When Nicole Kidman places the boom box on the grave of her dead husband at her funeral and plays Eric Carmen's "All By Myself" I nearly wet my pants. One of the best movies of the 90s and my favorite Gus Van Sant flick. This little number is pitch black. February 26, 2008  
N/A
King Kong - Unrated Best line in a movie ever. A stampeding stegosaurus is killed by the expedition. One of them looks to the man who killed it and asks what it is. The man replies:

"Something from the dinosaur family."

I rewind and watch that scene endlessly. I need help...
February 26, 2008  
N/A
The Darjeeling Limited - R Sucks. The only thing limited here was my time, so I left. How did it end? February 26, 2008  
N/A
Doctor X - Unrated Mike Curtiz, before he made Casablanca, knocked out this stellar horror picture. Shot in a rare two-strip technicolor process, this has one of the creepiest vilains of early talkie horror films.

"Syn-thetic Fleshhhh!"
February 26, 2008  
N/A
Santo y Blue Demon Contra Los Monstruos Zero - Unrated Santo and The Blue Demon versus Dracula, his vampire bride, Frankenstein's Monster, The Mummy, The Wolfman, A Cyclops, a mad scientist and a hunchback dwarf and his army of zombie henchmen. Need I say more? February 26, 2008  
N/A
Zapped! - R What's all the fuss about? Although Scatman dodging flying sausage rolls is quite a site February 24, 2008  
N/A
The Kid Stays in the Picture - R February 23, 2008  
N/A
Cul-de-Sac - Unrated This may be my favorite Polanski movie right after The Tenant - and I am so surprised that after all this time STILL no DVD in the U.S. Very stylish, funny and peculiar.

Oh, and the soundtrack - awesome. I've got the LP re-issue from a few years back...
February 22, 2008  
N/A
Juno - PG-13 February 21, 2008  
N/A
I Wake Up Screaming - Unrated I just watched this again. This is probably the best film noir ever made, at least I think so... February 20, 2008  
N/A
Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane (Plane Dead) - Unrated I wanted to like it, but just couldn't. I hate to shit talk other people's movies - so I'll just bite me tounge on this one February 11, 2008  
N/A
Reform School Girls - R I told Sybil Danning that I saw this movie at such a young age and I'm reasonably certain that the experience perverted me for life. She was not sure what to make of my comment, but I guess she was flattered. February 11, 2008  
N/A
After Hours - R I may have seen this movie more than any other. Scorsese's best in my opinion.
Sometimes a man is so desperate for sex potential, he'll go after any woman - even if she is manic.
February 9, 2008  
N/A
Rocket Science - R Subversive good fun. You all know that the movies under the radar are the best in the long-run. February 7, 2008  
N/A
There Will Be Blood - R I'm a family man, I run a family business. This is my son HW. I don't like most people. You have a milkshake, I have a straw; I drink your milkshake. February 7, 2008  
N/A
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street - R Hang up your shears, Timmy. You've lost your edge. Some good moments, but overall pretty underwhelming. February 7, 2008  
N/A
