40 T3 Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) - May 25, 2013
"It seems for a while as if a confrontation is being staged between Kirk's Odyssean metis, Spock's stoic rationalism, and the lures of est-style emotional transcendentalism, the key moment being Kirk's impassioned declaration, "I need my pain." All this is, of course, swept away in a farcical third act that recapitulates The Wizard of Oz and ends with a campfire sing-a-long as ode to bachelorhood and the bonds of masculine friendship. Production and script problems are, as usual, obvious."
35 T2 Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984) - May 23, 2013
"The forced compromises and poor decision-making that afflicted the first two films meant that an entire movie had to be devoted to trying to right the ship in the third. For that reason, this is the first entry in the series with a clear, definite narrative, but for the same reason it is also inevitably highly predictable. Also suffers from ill-judged attempts at melodrama. Lloyd is probably the best performer in the film, and look out for Albert from Twin Peaks. But no Kirstie Alley."
40 T3 Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) - May 22, 2013
"More competent than the first film, despite a budget that was a quarter that of the initial instalment, but less thematically ambitious, too. The central themes of ageing and mortality are clunkily handled, partly as a result of production problems and script uncertainty. Even so, there are moments that just about work. Nice to see a young Kirstie Alley."
30 T2 Borderline (2002) - May 22, 2013
"Totally preposterous and silly telemovie that is nevertheless not bad at keeping the viewer guessing."
25 T1 Jack Reacher (2012) - May 21, 2013
"Ludicrous, laboured, predictable junk. Frequently cartoonish in its incompetence. Essentially a one-man A-Team, but less charming, nastier, and far less realistic than the recently-remade 1980s children's TV show, even though that seems to be the era from which it has, inexplicably, sprung. That this could earn $200,000,000 is testament to the power of marketing, even if the producers were probably disappointed. That it received praise from a fair number of critics begs other questions."
45 T4 Ghost (1984) - May 19, 2013
"Painstakingly done, and to some extent gets across the strangeness that comes of long hours of being awake at night, but seems more of an unsuccessful mishmash than other works I've seen by this filmmaker."
60 T6 Zone (1995) - May 19, 2013
"I know of no filmmaker who works harder or more systematically to conjure and convey the photographic uncanny."
50 T4 Spacy (1981) - May 19, 2013
"Very cleverly and carefully constructed, and it does generate an odd sensation. Ten minutes is plenty."
55 T5 The Moon (1994) - May 16, 2013
"Experimental short that does succeed in conjuring an eerie and uncanny feeling over its six and a half minutes, in which the idea is perhaps that the lunar presence represents the operation of some mysterious force beneath or behind the surface of things, that could conceivably be pushing us off course somehow. That's as much as I got."
25 T1 Absence of the Good (1999) - May 15, 2013
"Baldwin delivers a performance of impressively Bressonian inexpressiveness in the role of a cop who quotes Saint Augustine on the problem of evil."
