Bio: My film rating scale: if it's over 80--it's a damned good movie; if it's between 80-70 it's either notably flawed or one of those 'different strokes for different folks' movies; if it's between 70-60 it's still enjoyable and/or has some artistic merit; if it's below 50 it's inexcusable, utter crap.

68 Slow Southern Steel (2011) - Feb 08, 2012
Mini-Review: It's worth a watch for fans of the genre if only for the interviews. However, as a documentary it's shoddily made, tacky, cliched and does not imbue any real insight to the subject matter. What's worse it feels like many of the interviews were expurgated to fit what the filmmaker thought was "the essence of southern metal". This creative license really makes the film seem like fanboy propaganda rather than a real documentary
92 Pontypool (2008) - Feb 07, 2012
Mini-Review: A truly unnerving exploration of an idea that comes straight out of the scholarly journals of postmodern linguists. Gallons of theory were subtly injected into what seems like a straight-up zombie flick. Which is perhaps why it went over the head of the viewers expecting a standard gory romp. A one-of-a-kind horror of a whole different dimension, a companion piece to House of Leaves, this brilliant film seems like it will always be undeservedly under-appreciated.
69 Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (2011) - Jan 30, 2012
Mini-Review: For a good half the movie you don't know what the hell is going on. And, honestly, it's hard to care enough to figure it out. Too many meaningful glances, code-talk, implicit double-meanings. There's too much going on and little actual pathos to really engage the audience.
80 Brother (1997) - Jan 29, 2012
Mini-Review: Essentially the Russian Scarface.
69 Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) - Jan 18, 2012
Mini-Review: a.k.a. The Animated Adventures of Indiana Jones Meets Ancient Aliens.
79 Tucker & Dale vs Evil (2010) - Jan 07, 2012
62 Red (2010) - Jan 04, 2012
78 Frantic (1988) - Jan 04, 2012
81 Knife in the Water (1962) - Jan 04, 2012
70 The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010) - Dec 30, 2011
