Recent Rankings
60 T6 Showgirls (1995) - Mar 10, 2014
"Less satire than hyper-melodrama, this film has great energy and takes big chances. As a result, some scenes inevitably don't work, but it seems likely that the film's failure was due to more than just its general misanthropy (represented by Las Vegas, land of assholes), and more than just resentment at the fact the writer was paid $2 million for a back-of-a-napkin screenplay. Could it be that what frightens audiences and critics alike is still anything like a close-up look at female sexuality?"
25 T1 Rambo (2008) - Mar 09, 2014
"Some pretty scenery."
45 T4 White House Down (2013) - Mar 06, 2014
"Extremely generic action fantasy about a divorced father who misses his daughter's performance, a crime for which, as has long been established, nothing short of saving the entire world from nuclear cataclysm can provide redemption. Helped by the fact that none of the performers or filmmakers are taking it seriously. The highlight is probably when one of the bad guys declines an offer of cake from fellow bad guy James Woods on the grounds that he is diabetic. Moral of the film: "Daughters!""
55 T5 You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet (2012) - Mar 06, 2014
"Resnais plays around in some unusual ways, and by the conclusion it begins to seem like quite a personal statement about mortality and loss, but to this viewer it did not seem quite to work, possibly due to the limitations of the perhaps dated source material."
30 T2 Live Free or Die Hard (2007) - Mar 02, 2014
"A man who knows little about computers convinces his daughter he is a heroic figure, and a younger man who does know about computers convinces the older man that he too is heroic. The FBI are basically good and the NSA are more or less bad. Relies heavily on the charms of Willis and Long. Orange and teal."
55 T5 Cane Toads: An Unnatural History (1988) - Mar 01, 2014
"Cane toads are comin', cane toads are comin', main roads are hummin' with the cane toad blues."
40 T3 We Are What We Are (2013) - Feb 27, 2014
"The attempt to conjure tense but low-key horror is not very successful, with mediocre dialogue and performances, the result being that when the dramatic climax arrives the contrast with what came before fails to heighten the impact and is very hard to buy into."
20 T1 The Matrix Reloaded (2003) - Feb 22, 2014
"Poor aesthetic choices at every turn make this a tedious and unpleasant experience. Score based on partial viewing."
45 T4 Ai no mukidashi (2008) - Feb 06, 2014
"Unusual pro-perversion movie, but too hysterical for this viewer's taste, and the final hour is very drawn out. Sion Sono has said he hates Ozu, and this is, indeed, about as far from the world of Ozu as it is possible to get, both in terms of art and in terms of the representation of society and family. That some audiences would love it is understandable. But I'll take Ozu. Also, the Allegretto movement of Beethoven's 7th always works, but could it be that we have now reached saturation point?"
75 T9 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2007) - Feb 03, 2014
"Carefully constructed in terms of camerawork, characterisation, narrative, and also audience. Certainly conveys the frustration and suffering that results from bad laws in oppressive societies."
