The Ghost Writer (2010) 84% EDIT “Cattrall is still far too reminiscent of Samantha Jones, typecast forever probably, and her permanent sense of slutty double entrendre makes it impossible for her to be convincing as a cool, secretive aide.” – outrate.net Aug 9, 2010 Full Review Brüno (2009) 68% EDIT “Just like with Ali G and Borat, Sacha as Brüno tricks famous faces into doing ridiculous interviews. This includes singers Paula Abdul and Latoya Jackson, who both leave within minutes after being served sushi on a naked Mexican.” – outrate.net Jun 18, 2009 Full Review Doubt (2008) 79% EDIT “As the lemon-sucking, bonnet-shackled Sister Aloysius Beauvier, the godly dragon lady of St Nicholas Catholic school in the Bronx, Meryl Streep delivers the worst performance of her career.” – outrate.net Feb 10, 2009 Full Review Valkyrie (2008) 62% 2/5 EDIT “A one-man Hollywood on legs, Cruise is Eyes by Newman, Nose by Streisand, Body by Brando, Brain by Mickey Mouse.” – outrate.net Jan 28, 2009 Full Review The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) 76% EDIT “when Casey Affleck beats Brad Pitt to a Best Actor Oscar nomination for the film come January, remember that you heard it here first.” – eFilmCritic.com Oct 30, 2007 Full Review The History Boys (2006) 66% EDIT “I never saw the madly popular stage version of The History Boys, but I felt like I had after I sat through this almost amateurishly strange, two-dimensional version of it.” – eFilmCritic.com May 14, 2007 Full Review Somersault (2004) 84% EDIT “The gay subplot is the highlight of the film. \Free of the slack pretensions that saturate the rest of Somersault, the sequences between Joe and Richard (Erik Thomson), an older guy who recognizes Joe's furtive glances, are concise and suspenseful.” – outrate.net Mar 15, 2007 Full Review Butterfly---A Grimm Love Story (2006) EDIT “Armin Meiwes is currently in a German jail for biting and cutting off Bernd Brandes' penis, frying it and serving it as a light meal for the both of them, before slaughtering Brandes, carving his body into choice cuts and storing them in the fridge.” – outrate.net Mar 15, 2007 Full Review Cut Sleeve Boys (2006) 42% EDIT “This dreadful and inane minstrel show takes its title from a poem written by a Han Emperor who cut off the sleeve of his beautiful robe so he could get out of bed without waking his sleeping male concubine.” – outrate.net Mar 15, 2007 Full Review Paper Dolls (2006) 72% EDIT “Heymann seems to be a big-hearted guy who, despite his own admission that he's happy to be alone, wants to push his Paper Dolls into as much happiness as they can find.” – outrate.net Mar 15, 2007 Full Review Broken Sky (2006) 43% EDIT “I agree with Salma Hayek, who exclaimed "so many Mexicans!" while announcing the nominations for the 2007 Oscars ceremony, that the past twelve months have featured a bounty of great Mexican films.” – outrate.net Mar 15, 2007 Full Review Notes on a Scandal (2006) 87% EDIT “Does anyone else note the similarities between Cate Blanchett and Kate Bush? They have the same first names, physically resemble each other, remain aloof from tabloid hoopla, and share the same kind of elysian artistic genius.” – outrate.net Mar 15, 2007 Full Review Adam & Steve (2005) 56% EDIT “Surprisingly, there are some merits in this latest dropping from the despicable Zany Gay Romantic Comedy factory.” – outrate.net Dec 4, 2006 Full Review Yentl (1983) 69% EDIT “Like Yentl herself, the movie is constantly in search of who and what it is, only finds itself thwarted by certain circumstances, and sails off the screen still searching, leaving us unsatisfied rather than uplifted” – outrate.net Dec 4, 2006 Full Review October Moon (2005) EDIT “what a strange choice, to set a weirdo gay stalker loose with some rope and a set of steak knives amid a sea of gay-tolerance platitudes” – outrate.net Dec 4, 2006 Full Review Gay Sex in the '70s (2005) 71% EDIT “the title is rather misleading as though we hear a lot about sex venues and see the odd xxx-pic or clip, there isn't a great deal of gay sex in Gay Sex in the 70's” – outrate.net Dec 4, 2006 Full Review Shortbus (2006) 69% EDIT “Even as Mitchell pursues his gently romantic anti-agenda it's explicit three-way sex scenes or the appearance of remote-control vaginal vibrating-egg sex toys that move his tale along” – outrate.net Dec 4, 2006 Full Review The Object of My Affection (1998) 53% EDIT “a surprisingly gutsy film that gets better as it goes along” – outrate.net Oct 7, 2006 Full Review Law of Desire (1987) 100% EDIT “Antonio Banderas was originally called Jos Antonio Domnguez Bandera (note the missing "s") before Almodvar suggested he change his name” – outrate.net Oct 7, 2006 Full Review Stonewall (1995) 67% EDIT “The Stonewall legend never really knows what to do with itself - we know that drag queens led the riots, but conservative gay activists are always happy to insert their own ancestors into the record.” – outrate.net Oct 7, 2006 Full Review Deathtrap (1982) 75% EDIT “Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve apparently drank litres of alcohol to get through their dreaded male-male kiss scene in Deathtrap, but you'll need something stronger than alcohol to stay interested in this movie.” – outrate.net Oct 7, 2006 Full Review Wild Side (2004) 63% EDIT “Elliptic films of this type invariably drown in their own inscrutability but there's an emotional and psychological authenticity here that elevates Wild Side from the problems of its coma-inducing genre.” – outrate.net Oct 7, 2006 Full Review Jeffrey (1995) 71% EDIT “Jeffrey is, easily, the worst gay-themed film ever made.” – outrate.net Oct 7, 2006 Full Review Burning Money (2000) 77% EDIT “Druggy but expert armed robbers, Angel and Nene escape to Uruguay when a hold-up in Argentina goes wrong.” – outrate.net Oct 7, 2006 Full Review Tying the Knot (2004) 89% EDIT “Tying the Knot's heart-on-its-sleeve makes for several serious missteps.” – outrate.net Oct 7, 2006 Full Review
