Recent Rankings
85 12 Monkeys (1995) - Jun 24, 2008
Mini-Review: Great performances and a great overall film; a little bit of story taken from The Terminator and other such films, but it also paved the way to themes presented in films like The Matrix. One of Brad Pitt's more memorable roles.
75 Miller's Crossing (1990) - Jun 23, 2008
Mini-Review: This is proof that the Coens worst is comparable to the best of other filmmakers. Miller's Crossing is near the bottom of their barrel (not counting The Ladykillers; but we all forgive them for that), but when that barrel has Fargo, Big Lebowski, No Country For Old Men, and Raising Arizona; being the worst isn't that bad.
90 Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) - Jun 23, 2008
Mini-Review: It is hard to believe that this was eighteen years ago, and the visual effects still look better than CGI gophers in Indy 4 (and the story is better too).
0 Epic Movie (2007) - Jun 23, 2008
Mini-Review: How dare the first word in the synopsis be "satire"! This is anything but a satire. Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Airplane!, Not Another Teen Movie, Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz; those are satires. This is shit.
20 Smokin' Aces (2007) - Jun 23, 2008
Mini-Review: Grossly misrepresented by advertisements, and actually fairly boring up until the grand finale, I was really let down by this film. Ryan Reynolds keeps it afloat by performing the best of the bunch.
0 Date Movie (2006) - Jun 23, 2008
Mini-Review: I almost had to move this score up a few points after Friedberg/Seltzer only got worse (Epic Movie) and worse again (Meet The Spartans) from here, but in the end, a one is just too high a score.
95 Psycho (1960) - Jun 23, 2008
Mini-Review: A truly terrifying performance by Anthony Perkins that has absolutely stood the test of time, nay, defined standing the test of time. I remember my sibling of a young age watching Psycho and being more frightened than she had with any modern horror film.
95 There Will Be Blood (2007) - Jun 23, 2008
Mini-Review: A bit long? This is proof that if the screenplay, the acting, the characters, and the direction are all incredible; a film could go on forever. I could've easily gone the length of the Lord Of The Rings extended trilogy with Daniel Plainview, and I really cannot find a flaw with this film. At all. None.
80 Hostel (2005) - Jun 23, 2008
Mini-Review: This is the best type of satire, one that is so clever that the majority of the audience doesn't even think it is one. Subtle messages about degradation of women around the world and the lack of multiculturalism to be found in a typical American young adult, all while remaining tense and a bit suspenseful.
2 The Grudge (2004) - Jun 23, 2008
Mini-Review: Nowhere near as scary as the Japanese original (which is truly a frightening and unforgettable experience). Come to think of it, I don't remember a moment that I would call remotely scary or disturbing. Sadly, this film led to a trend with many American adaptations that never live up to the originals (except for, possibly, Pulse).
