Bio: Films have always been a passion of mine. I love the way a great film can truly transport you out of the mundane and everyday, and actually make you experience a new reality. I also appreciate how bad films can remind you of time ticking, and your life ebbing away. BTW, I'm a philosopher, if you haven't already guessed.

90 95% Gravity (2013) - Rated 27 Aug 2014
"First avoided because I'm not a big Bullock fan. But HOLY SHIT is it a great survival film! Disorienting, tense, and at times really poignant, this is a superb thriller."
85 83% The Cabin in the Woods (2012) - Rated 27 Aug 2014
"Well made and clever."
50 21% American Pie (1999) - Rated 27 Aug 2014
"I'm giving this movie a grade that reflects a weighted average of 1) this film and 2) every other execrable "pie" movie they have made since this one. Alone, this would probably be in 80 territory, but the fact they made so many more afterwards, milking the same tired premise, makes me think of this one as an unfortunate precedent, and not as a funny as I first remember it."
70 29% Into the Wild (2007) - Rated 27 Aug 2014
"I began watching this film with high hopes, as I was aware of the true premise and wanted to see if the movie could wring some more insight out of the story, like why was McCandles so determined to run away from his seemingly great middle class life? Also, the movie runs with the (generally discredited) idea that he died because of some bad stuff he ate. Most now agree he died just because he got in over his head and didn't know what he was doing. Still, not terrible."
3% This Is It (2009) - Rated 27 Aug 2014
"This is Shit. A cash grab on the part of the producers, this "documentary" consists of a series of scenes demonstrating a clearly past-his-prime Michael Jackson try to sing and dance like he did 30 years ago. If you are a Michael Jackson fan and want your heart broken, watch this."
10% Killing Season (2013) - Rated 27 Aug 2014
"Cinematic equivalent of elevator music or wallpaper. Bad, but not in any especially egregious or noticeable way, with one already oft-commented exception - Travolta's accent. Amazing that a character with such a "thick n' pasty" Balkans accent (it's actually more faux-Russian) nevertheless speaks every line perfectly and never drops a word or makes a grammatical mistake."
85 83% Shallow Grave (1994) - Rated 13 Sep 2013
"Twisty!"
80 55% Pirate Radio (2009) - Rated 13 Sep 2013
"Alright."
84 75% Rocky Balboa (2006) - Rated 13 Sep 2013
"A really sweet, poignant, and surprisingly solid entry in this underdog franchise. Highly recommended for anyone, although obviously fans who have seen the entire series will get a lot more out of it."
30 19% Hostel: Part II (2007) - Rated 31 Aug 2013
"Just like the first one, we're given the premise of torture, and then we're also given a bunch of characters who are really annoying, so... what, so we' re supposed to enjoy when they get tortured? Like, what is the point? And why do I keep wanting to see these dumb, shockey movies? Have I become so numb to everything I see on TV or film that I need to seek out depictions of torture to become intrigued? Blech, I want to shower my body and mind."
