Sin City (2005,  R)
Sin City 5.0 Stars
Perfect down to the most subtle components. Never did it betray its source material and in this day and age that is a true feat. The film is also a good example of an appropriate use of CG effects mixed with make up effects. Neither overshadows the other. Overall this is a gloriously gritty translation of Frank Miller's art.

Saw (2004,  R)
Saw 5.0 Stars
The old addage "sequels will never ruin the original" doesn't hold true here. While I can still see how great it is, the subsequent Saw films take away the power Jigsaw has. This horror film has a moral to it and it doesn't tell it through haplessly slaughering teens who drink. When you get down to it, this film is great. Any naysayers clearly miss the point or get wrapped up in the copycat films made after it (which don't have a point). Tobin Bell triumphs as Jigsaw in a brilliant mind game.

Dick Tracy (1990,  PG)
Dick Tracy 5.0 Stars
The ensemble cast compliments the style director Beatty brought from the strip. It's really interesting how this movie works as the end of a trilogy of stories (told in comic book form). Beatty had a great deal of material they could have adapted, but decided to begin with the end. At any rate, it's an underrated film that deserves a second chance at greatness.

Tarantino's best work. This is writing at it's best. All the characters are unique and it's their conversations that drive this film home.

Friday the 13th, Part VI - Jason Lives 5.0 Stars
Jason Voorhees' single greatest romp through Crystal Lake. He's finally undead (thanks, Tommy) and ready to kick totall ass. It's very rare that a sequel trumps the original, but in case you ever need an example, look to this one.

The single greatest giant anything movie! It mixes realistic effects with kooky anamatronics in such a way that just can't be done nowadays. A true classic.

Romero's direction and Ken Foree's action are flawless! The cold start of this film sucks the viewer into Romero's world and never lets go until the credits roll. There are some pacing issues, but that is a minor issue compared to how awesome the rest of the movie is.

A film that oozes style and substance. The writing is brilliant. Diehard fans of the manga and newcomers to the story alike will find this version of the story on par, if not superior, with the others, As far as I can tell, the acting is spot on. Each character is literally and truly realized in live action. Ryuk looks great, to top it off. One of my favorite films.

A fantasticly crude gorefest! Jeffrey Combs simply nails the part of Herbert West. For a horror movie, the story had a lot going for it. It was unique in that West is the villain of this story but doesn't end up being the main antagonist. They don't get much better than this.

This movie is so much more than a romantic comedy. It is the apex of physical comedy. The whistle gag had me laughing so hard I cried. The dramatic scenes are also done to perfection, so it's not a string of skits put together in movie format. It is a truly realized masterpiece.
