Telephone (2010) - Apr 24, 2011

Mini-Review: Lady Gaga is recontextualizing 70's leatherdaddy mystique and pointing it back at frat boys in the package of an attractive young woman. She's asking lots of questions and ignoring heteronormacy on purpose. Also, she makes awesome pop songs.

Tombstone (1993) - Aug 13, 2007

Mini-Review: I'm your huckleberry.

Drag Me to Hell (2009) - Jun 03, 2009

Mini-Review: This is basically Sam Raimi's love letter to the '70s, from the old-school Universal logo card and beyond. Jump scares and blacker-than-black humor abound, usually at the same time. There's literally nothing not to like other than a slightly-overlong final act.

Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre (2009) - Apr 18, 2011

Mini-Review: This was a really fun grindhouse howler. Completely bugnuts crazy, built on a premise that defies logic. Watch with some friends and some brews, it is absolutely a horror-comedy. Stay for the Bjork song in the credits.

Ginger Snaps: Unleashed (2004) - Jun 16, 2010

Mini-Review: Far better than it has any right to be. Captures the essence of lycanthropy's horror (forced change) and has a great setup for the finale.

West Side Story (1961) - Jun 08, 2011

Mini-Review: Swings wildly in quality, but the highs are as great as any musical in history. It's also fun to pick out the exact analogs for the R&J source material (The Apothecary -> "Doc", I get it!) but the dance moves are really dated and it's really badly directed (ie it's shot like a stage play, not a movie.)
