Superman Returns (2006) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
Great direction, decent script. But dragged down by the utterly miscast Kate Bosworth. Lois is too great a part of the story to have such a terrible, wrong actor in the role.

Sirens (1994) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
Overlooked gem about an early 20th century Anglican clergyman sent to Australia to censor a lacivious painter, and the sexual awakening of his wife that ensues. One of the most sensual and yet thoughtful films of the period.

Shooting Livien (2005) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
This story of a man obsessed with John Lennon has a great premise and is shot beautifully, but lacks a good lead and needs a better script.

Cocoon (1985) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
So sentimental it makes your back teeth ache, but if you're not completely jaded, or happen to be an old fart looking for alien Viagra, you'll like it.

Encino Man (1992) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
It's hard to say if Pauly Shore makes or ruins this movie. It wouldn't be the same without his orignal style, but that's also what makes it nearly unwatchable. Rent it for the first 30 minutes if you want to see a nearly naked Brendan Fraser at his prime.

Tron (1982) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
Amusing as heck to watch with 21st century technology, but it's a classic of the genre. Ignore the lousy script and acting. You're there to have fun watching neon people pretend to be inside a computer.

Alien Nation (1988) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
I haven't watched it in years, so this may be an exaggerated score, but I do remember enjoying it at the time.

Star Trek: First Contact (1996) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
I like this one better than any of the others, partly because of the time travel, and partly because the characters are more real and don't take a back seat to the action.

Young Frankenstein (1974) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
Everyone must see this film at least once. Yes, this means you. Some of the humor is dated, but it's a total classic. Sit down with your best friend Abby and watch it.

Videodrome (1983) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
I barely remember watching this late one night and freaking out. Debbie Harry is a glazed out mess. Recommended if you're into mindfracks, but perhaps a little too weird for most.
