80 67% A History of Violence (2005)
"Somewhat overrated but an excellent film in the redeemed-bad-guy style of Unforgiven. Ed Harris and William Hurt steal the film as very nasty men, Mortensen is believable as the quiet man, some excellent direction from Cronenberg in his mature 'normal' style (ie - no mutants or mucus)."
70 42% Sleepers (1996)
65 31% The Interpreter (2005)
"Self-important and sluggishly paced. Great performance by N. Kidman's hair though. Sean Penn needs to find a new character to play"
90 94% Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004)
"Confusing if you havent seen the first one, but utterly incredible animation and atmosphere. The story is really a conceit to carry forward some amazing visual images and ponder typical Japanese imponderables. This is not a cartoon for kids - sex and violence abound, in a very thought-provoking way. The first GITS looks to me to have been quite a major influence on the Matrix - this one is just plain breathtaking."
90 94% Bully (2001)
"Great acting and a very dark story make for an unforgettable film. Granted, Larry Clark is a bit of a perv, and lingers perhaps uncomfortably long on the often-nude bodies of his teenage leads, but its worth it to watch career-making performances from Renfro, Phillips, Stahl and Leo Kirkpatrick. Adults might hate to think this is realistic, but it is."
65 31% Jarhead (2005)
40 9% Saw (2004)
"Hilarious melange of genre cliches - ooh, scary. I was too busy laughing at the script. The sequel is actually better (but still al waste of time)."
