American Psycho (2000) 68% 1/4 EDIT “It is unlikely that this film will become any kind of cult item at all, given its lack of visual interest, and the violence is really only suggested in its bloody aftermath, rather than shown, thus frustrating the lowbrow gore geeks.” – DVDJournal.com Apr 2, 2025 Full Review The Skeleton Twins (2014) 86% EDIT “Along with Obvious Child, it is one of the worst films of the year.” – Cinemonkey Sep 27, 2014 Full Review The Unknown Known (2013) 82% EDIT “"It's really more of a very minor TV broadcast, both because of its lack of substance but also because of its cinematic obviousness."” – Cinemonkey Apr 12, 2014 Full Review The Raid 2 (2014) 82% EDIT “" 2 is complicated, with a lot of names and relationships needing to be memorized quickly ..."” – Cinemonkey Apr 12, 2014 Full Review Under the Skin (2013) 83% EDIT “"Mr. Glazer is attempting something powerful and unusual in cinema, a visually-aurally told story."” – Cinemonkey Apr 12, 2014 Full Review Jodorowsky's Dune (2013) 97% EDIT “"distinguishes itself by finding true inspiration in the shattered fragments of what was left."” – Cinemonkey Apr 12, 2014 Full Review The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) 90% EDIT “Talk about starvation!
