Featured Reviews
93 Kick-Ass (2010) - Apr 20, 2010
Mini-Review: "Kick-Ass" rules.
100 Apocalypse Now (1979) - Jun 24, 2009
Mini-Review: The best movie of all time? It has the best everything: cinematography, performances, editing, pacing, music, etc. And when you learn about how hard it was to make, it's absolutely shocking that Coppola was even able to finish the film, let alone create the greatest movie in history. It seems as though a good amount of people now truly love "Apocalypse Now." A fair amount now consider it to be superior to "The Godfather." Hopefully they'll eventually agree with me that there's nothing better.
98 Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985) - Sep 29, 2010
Mini-Review: Is it possible that one of the best movies ever made has been seen by virtually no-one? Yes, it is, because that's exactly the case here. "Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters" is without a doubt one of, if not the, greatest statements about art ever made. Whether you look at the subjects the movie deals with or the sublime presentation of the movie itself, it's clear that something special is unfolding before you onscreen. This movie is the world's most underrated film and a definite masterpiece.
99 Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (1991) - Mar 19, 2010
Mini-Review: This movie is incredible. Is it perfect in terms of cinematography? No. How about writing? Or directing? Or any facet of the fundamentals of filmmaking? Still no. What "Riki-Oh" is, however, is the most entertaining movie I have ever watched, and that's because that's what it set out to be. If you only look at the individual pieces, "Riki-Oh" isn't very good. But if you finish the movie and think about how much fun you had watching it, then "Riki-Oh" is the best film ever made.
100 Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion (1997) - Jul 26, 2009
Mini-Review: Climax. That's what this film is. Due to it being the conclusion to eight hours of exposition, the entire movie is a 3rd Act. And, because we have grown so attached to these characters, everything they suffer affects you much harder than whatever happens to characters in other movies. Anno's style is brilliant, and if I become a director in the future, I doubt any film will influence me as much as this one. "The End of Evangelion" is the most underrated masterpiece out there.
64 Shutter Island (2010) - Feb 26, 2010
Mini-Review: "Hey, I have an idea! Let's make a two-and-a-half hour movie centered around a twist but reveal it in the first five minutes. And let's get a great director who totally isn't suited to this type of picture. Oh, and we can't forget giving the movie absolutely no re-watch value. Yup. Oscar Gold."
60 Inception (2010) - Jul 16, 2010
Mini-Review: The more I think about this movie, the more it pisses me off. I guess having a dozen shitty subplots, terrible dialogue and a gross misuse of concept lead to something being "movie of the year." And to think that people are actually claiming that it challenges the audience's intelligence. Well, I didn't feel challenged, I felt insulted. But, hey, it's like #4 on IMDB so I clearly don't know shit, right?
56 Animal Kingdom (2010) - Nov 30, 2010
Mini-Review: This movie is stupid. No cohesion, an obnoxious score and a terrible protagonist do not a good movie make. Plot threads appear and disappear in minutes and you don't even care because the characters are so uninteresting. I guess it's getting so much praise because Australia finally made a movie that isn't completely fucking terrible, but it's still not good at all. At least the lighting was nice, I guess.
100 The Social Network (2010) - Oct 24, 2010
Mini-Review: My favorite movie. It's the best. If you don't understand why, that's your own problem.
