8/10
The Founder (2016) Chris Bumbray Exceptionally well-acted, with a powerhouse performance from Keaton.

Dog Eat Dog (2016) Chris Bumbray Totally demented but so much fun.

3/10
Devil's Knot (2013) Chris Bumbray Manages to turn a thoroughly gripping true story into an absolutely pedestrian, very dull film.

2/10
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 (2012) Chris Bumbray A tepid end to a tepid saga. The CGI is bad enough that you'd think this came from the mid-nineties.

Here Comes the Boom (2012) Chris Bumbray Better than you'd think.

8/10
Tyrannosaur (2011) Chris Bumbray This is a profoundly depressing film at times, but in the end, it also proves to be a surprisingly hopeful one. If you have the stomach for it, TYRANNOSAUR is an intensely rewarding film

9/10
Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011) Chris Bumbray The finest film of the 2011 Sundance film fest. One of the few films I've seen in a while that truly filled me with dread.

7.5/10
The Girl Who Played With Fire (2009) Chris Bumbray More like a good TV movie than a full-on film, but still a good adaptation of the novel. Rapace is excellent.

The Switch (2010) Chris Bumbray Not bad bad as the poster makes it out to be, but not good either.
Posted Aug 20, 2010  Edit critic review
9.5/10
Mesrine: Part II - Public Enemy 1 (2008) Chris Bumbray The film PUBLIC ENEMIES should have been. An incredible gangster epic packed with balls-to-the-wall action!

1.5/5
Porky's Revenge (1985) Scott Weinberg Cheap-looking, witless and amateurish to the extreme.
Posted May 29, 2007  Edit critic review
1.5/5
Porky's II: The Next Day (1983) Scott Weinberg Let's just say the first hour of the original film has more chuckles than both sequels put together.
Posted May 29, 2007  Edit critic review
4/5
Flags of Our Fathers (2006) Scott Weinberg A pretty darn good, but not completely great, war movie that pays overdue homage to the WWII veterans who never made it home.
Posted May 25, 2007  Edit critic review
4/5
Alone With Her (2006) Scott Weinberg A novel spin on an oft-told tale, Alone with Her is a fine little indie indeed. What could have been just another gimmick flick turns out to be a pretty intense ride.

3.5/5
Hellboy: Blood and Iron (2007) Scott Weinberg Fans of the Hellboy property, particularly younger ones, should find enough to enjoy here.
Posted May 18, 2007  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Summer School (1987) Scott Weinberg Reiner keeps everything moving while letting Harmon do the heavy lifting as his young co-stars sprinkle the chuckles around.
Posted May 14, 2007  Edit critic review
4/5
Off the Black (2006) Scott Weinberg Just a simple little "people drama," nothing more, but a very well-crafted and heartfelt one all the same.
Posted May 02, 2007  Edit critic review
2/5
Black Christmas (2006) Scott Weinberg The fans will dig the brief-yet-nasty FX work, but they'll have to slog through a pretty tiresome movie just to get their hands on those nuggets.
Posted Apr 28, 2007  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Tideland (2005) Scott Weinberg Gilliam's weirdest -- and most disappointing.
Posted Apr 03, 2007  Edit critic review
3/5
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (2004) Scott Weinberg Once the characters start spewing out reams of dialogue about "geostigma," "sephiroth," and "genova," my eyeballs involuntarily start to glaze over.
Posted Mar 07, 2007  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Man About Town (2006) Scott Weinberg Binder's made some really fine movies and some curiously weak ones; my opinion is that this one falls firmly in the latter group.
Posted Mar 01, 2007  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Loving Annabelle (2006) Scott Weinberg If you're looking for a bare-bones story about girl-on-woman love that goes precisely where you're expecting it to go, you could do worse.
Posted Feb 09, 2007  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Conversations With Other Women (2005) Scott Weinberg One of the most realistically romantic movies I've seen in a while. And I'm not easily impressed by what generally passes for "movie romance."
Posted Jan 23, 2007  Edit critic review
3/5
Beerfest (2006) Scott Weinberg Five pounds of (funny) stuff in a 12-pound bag.
Posted Jan 23, 2007  Edit critic review
3.5/5
A Scanner Darkly (2006) Scott Weinberg Destined to become one of those movies that college kids love to rent and smoke bongs with.
Posted Jan 17, 2007  Edit critic review
2/5
Mozart & the Whale (2005) Scott Weinberg Shapeless and redundant, this flick is exactly the sort of movie you'd envision if I said "mildly retarded yet physically gorgeous young romance."
Posted Dec 12, 2006  Edit critic review
4/5
World Trade Center (2006) Scott Weinberg It's plainly evident that all of the filmmakers approached the subject matter with appropriate honor and respect. (In other words, this movie is no Pearl Harbor.)
Posted Dec 08, 2006  Edit critic review
3.5/5
The Transformers: The Movie (1986) Scott Weinberg It's good mindless fun, and a flick that no doubt holds a lot of Nostalgia Value for several members of my generation's sci-fi geeks.
Posted Nov 20, 2006  Edit critic review
3.5/5
The Dark Crystal (1982) Scott Weinberg Points to the Henson team for trying to broaden the scope of their creatures -- and there's little denying that this particular flick still seems to hold up pretty darn well.
Posted Nov 15, 2006  Edit critic review
4/5
Labyrinth (1986) Scott Weinberg A long and colorful quest filled with crazy critters and creative set design.
Posted Nov 15, 2006  Edit critic review
4/5
Edmond (2005) Scott Weinberg It's not exactly a "happy" movie, but it sure is a fascinating one.
Posted Nov 15, 2006  Edit critic review
4/5
Body Double (1984) Scott Weinberg It's a mystery, a romance, a horror flick, and a straight-faced parody all rolled into one unique little movie.
Posted Nov 01, 2006  Edit critic review
4.5/5
The Fox and the Hound (1981) Scott Weinberg Disney may have gone off the rails for a few years after The Fox and the Hound, but this one still feels like a classic. Or at very least, a mini-classic.
Posted Oct 21, 2006  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Point Break (1991) Scott Weinberg There's fun to be had, but there's also a few chapters worth skipping through.
Posted Oct 05, 2006  Edit critic review
1.5/5
Bottoms Up (2006) Scott Weinberg Jason Mewes woos Paris Hilton. Everything else is just roadkill.
Posted Sep 20, 2006  Edit critic review
3/5
The Lost City (2005) Scott Weinberg It's by no means a flawless film, but it's a meaty one, and if you're a big fan of Andy Garcia, I'd definitely recommend it. (Plus, Bill Murray's in there.)
Posted Aug 30, 2006  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Marathon Man (1976) Scott Weinberg Although best-known for its infamous "Is it safe?" sequence, Marathon Man is a whole lot better than just one horrific scene.
Posted Aug 30, 2006  Edit critic review
2/5
Three (2006) Scott Weinberg The chick's in a white bikini, you see, and her breasts are really large. Yeah, now you're getting it.
Posted Aug 15, 2006  Edit critic review
2.5/5
ATL (2006) Scott Weinberg A well-meaning and good-hearted urban melodrama -- that doesn't really seem to have anything new to say.
Posted Jul 25, 2006  Edit critic review
3/5
Imagine Me & You (2005) Scott Weinberg It's a fluffy little concoction that'll capably fill 90 minutes, but it's not destined to become anybody's newest favorite.
Posted Jun 27, 2006  Edit critic review
3/5
The Sisters (2005) Scott Weinberg Just goes to show you that you can be rich, smart, beautiful, and accomplished ... and still be as miserable as us middle-class drones.
Posted Jun 23, 2006  Edit critic review
3.5/5
The Boondock Saints (1999) Scott Weinberg While I don't think the flick really has much of a brain in its head ... it sure isn't boring.
Posted Jun 10, 2006  Edit critic review
1.5/5
Date Movie (2006) Scott Weinberg The kind of spoof that doesn't so much "poke fun" at its targets as it does "lazily reference" them.
Posted Jun 07, 2006  Edit critic review
2/5
Something New (2006) Scott Weinberg Anyone who finds something new in Something New is obviously looking a whole lot closer than the movie deserves.
Posted May 25, 2006  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Tristan & Isolde (2006) Scott Weinberg A strong visual style and a violent streak only partially undone by the PG-13 rating.
Posted May 08, 2006  Edit critic review
2/5
Mercenary for Justice (2006) Scott Weinberg Those who enjoy Seagal's stuff will probably dig this one a little more than, say, OUT OF REACH FOR A SUBMERGED SUNBEAST'S BLACK BELLY FOREIGN DAWN KILL.
Posted May 03, 2006  Edit critic review
4/5
Moonstruck (1987) Scott Weinberg A warm and funny little ensemble piece that still holds up pretty darn well after almost 20 years.
Posted Apr 17, 2006  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Ghostbusters (1984) Scott Weinberg The perfect marriage of big-budget sci-fi spectacle and character-based comedy schtick.
Posted Apr 03, 2006  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Ghostbusters II (1989) Scott Weinberg Feels like a blueprint concocted by the bean-counters at Columbia Pictures.
Posted Apr 03, 2006  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Eros (2004) Scott Weinberg Feels like an experiment that you'd be happy to catch during a film festival ... right before you nodded off for a solid 90-minute catnap.
