Bio: http://www.grouchoreviews.com/ This is a fan profile for Groucho Reviews, not the real Groucho Reviews. My name is *Groucho Reviews*, and I hail from San Jose, California. I am a professional film writer and teacher. In what I laughingly refer to as my \"spare\" time, I act, direct, and write. I\'ve been writing film reviews and articles since 1987. My reviews have appeared in the San Jose Mercury News, Palo Alto Weekly, Alternate 101 (a Bay Area arts-and-entertainment weekly), and ON Magazine (a monthly published in San Jose). My reviews also appear at Rotten Tomatoes and Allmovieportal.com. Additionally, I am the chief film critic for Celluloid Dreams, a weekly, local radio show devoted to film (Celluloid Dreams runs on KSJS—90.5 FM—every Monday at 5pm).
Recent Rankings
25 Super 8 (2011) - Jun 19, 2011
Mini-Review: "Lets be honest: the bs sci-fi plot is so much empty machinery, which becomes steadily more apparent as the film wends its way toward a heavy-metal climax that's narratively and emotionally questionable."
40 Kes (1969) - Jun 19, 2011
Mini-Review: "Throbs with a simple truthfulness...Loach shows his complimentary interest in documentary-influences social realism and the improvisational search for the authentic."
30 The Misfits (1961) - Jun 19, 2011
Mini-Review: "Deconstructs Hollywood's cowboy myth with a mythic Hollywood cast: Gable, Monroe and Clift."
20 Green Lantern (2011) - Jun 19, 2011
Mini-Review: "On brightest screen, in threest-D / It's the latest fanchisee. / This superhero's super-slight: / Beware two hours.... Green Lantern bites!"
30 Beginners (2011) - Jun 19, 2011
Mini-Review: "Cuts the whimsy with melancholy.....its case of the cutes isn't terminal."
30 The Trip (2010) - Jun 19, 2011
Mini-Review: "Reunites the delectable pair of Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, real life actor comic friends who play versions of themselves to highly amusing and oddly wistful effect."
20 The American (2010) - Jun 03, 2011
Mini-Review: "If it's half-baked Italian modernism you're after, you've come to the right place."
25 The Matrix Reloaded (2003) - Jun 03, 2011
Mini-Review: "The encoded boom is off the digital rose in The Matrix Reloaded."
35 A Scanner Darkly (2006) - Jun 03, 2011
Mini-Review: "Linklater brings a new novelty to a Dick adaptation: fidelity to the source."
30 THX 1138 (1971) - Jun 03, 2011
Mini-Review: "May be naively simple variation on that other George, but it remains a dazzling triumph of creativity and style over financial limitations."
