40 4% Hulk (2003) - Rated 20 Aug 2011
"Ang Lee tries to make the movie look like a comic book with bright colors and visually abrasive editing... and it just looks terrible. Add bad writing and a nearly incoherent plot about daddy issues, and you're left with this piece of garbage."
80 29% The Thin Red Line (1998) - Rated 10 Aug 2011
"Some solid acting and tragic sequences, but there's little overarching purpose within the plot. Lots of men have parts of their lives revealed, experience moments of terror, and wax eloquent on the horrors of war. The numerous nature shots, while beautiful, add to a sense that the movie might be trying a little too hard."
84 45% Black Death (2010) - Rated 27 Jun 2011
"It is extremely dark and morbid, but no other tone would do the subject matter justice. Though the story isn't really anything special, the movie does an excellent job showing the root of fanaticism and the terrible cost of fear."
10 0% Battlefield Earth (2000) - Rated 21 Jun 2011
"Almost too dumb to be funny... almost."
88 64% Ip Man (2008) - Rated 02 Jun 2011
90 77% There Will Be Blood (2007) - Rated 02 Jun 2011
98 98% The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) - Rated 01 Jun 2011
96 96% The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) - Rated 01 Jun 2011
"The very meaning of "epic." Its multiple endings drag on a bit, and a few moments are a little over the top in one way or another. But these brief weaknesses are balanced by the most epic battles in the trilogy and incredibly personal losses and triumphs. It could be considered lacking only in comparison to the rest of the trilogy."
98 98% The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) - Rated 01 Jun 2011
"An absolutely incredible movie. From the breathtaking scenery to the rousing battles to the touching emotions on display, Fellowship is a momentous achievement. The storytelling is at its strongest in this installment of the trilogy: the adventure moves at a personal level, without massive armies. Black riders, the Mines of Moria, and even Gollum are genuinely scary here, and help develop a powerful atmosphere. Jackson's trimming of Tolkien's text is generally for the best (esp. Bombadil)."
70 11% Leaves of Grass (2009) - Rated 01 Jun 2011
