All the Queen's Men (2001)

Rating: 60
Percentile: 23.2558
Review: I thought that (Matt LeBlanc + Eddie Izzard) X Crossdressing = Comedy, but it got too dramatic at times, and tried to take itself seriously. It felt strangely hollow, and I couldn't get into it, if not for the fairly good ensemble of actors that tried their best to make it work.

Review: Interesting concept, very much like a low-rent "Outer Limits" episode. Still, impressive given the filmmaker's resources.

Live and Let Die (1973)

Rating: 60
Percentile: 23.2558
Review: Not a big fan of the Moore bond movies, as I found them overly campy. This effort is just the first step on that road to uber-corniness that is just too over-the-top to be enjoyable.

Review: Worlds better than the abysmal first movie, this one, while having that direct-to-video sensibility, felt much more like a D&D game put on film.

A Christmas Story (1983)

Rating: 80
Percentile: 61.6279
Review: Quite the classic Christmas film for a more cynical generation. Brings up a lot of good childhood memories, and there's a reason TNT shows it for the entirety of Christmas Day.

Three Amigos! (1986)

Rating: 80
Percentile: 61.6279
Review: Fantastic effort from three comedic geniuses of the 1980s. Though the kitsch factor is high at times, it's still an incredibly fun satire of show business.

Tron (1982)

Rating: 70
Percentile: 37.2093
Review: Strangely enough, the pic for the movie is from the computer game Tron 2.0, but I digress. This is a classic Disney film, and one of the first to use extensive CGI. The look is so incredibly unique, though the script and acting could use a little work. All in all, a unique film.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)

Rating: 40
Percentile: 5.814
Review: I am a huge Star Trek fan, but I recognize that this film is insanely boring. The cast phones it in, the costumes are ridiculous, and the pacing is too slow for words. the score is good, but we're basically treated to two hours of fancy optical effects and people in pajamas staring goggle-eyes at a viewscreen.

Hook (1991)

Rating: 80
Percentile: 61.6279
Review: I like Hook - it really throws a curveball at the Peter Pan mythos, and Robin Williams is good in one of his earlier film performances. (Would he be outbilled by Dustin Hoffman today? The world may never know.)

Review: The peak of Chris Farley's career, this movie made him into a star before his untimely demise. Good jokes, a fantastic setup for the SNL film formula.

The Hills Have Eyes (2006)

Rating: 70
Percentile: 37.2093
Review: An effectively gory, if repetitive and ineffective, horror remake. the cast is pretty good, but the mutants look more like orcs than anything, and most of the "horror" is concentrated on one scene. All of the movie before it is suspense, and all of the movie after it is action.

Rating: 75

Review: A pretty good, if lifeless, adaptation of the book. Gene Wilder's Wonka was more caring, and therefore more creepy when he was. Johnny Depp's Charlie just seems to try too hard. This was basically an exercise for Tim Burton's production designer.

Review: It was okay, but it dragged a bit at times. The characters were all interchangeable. Omar Sharif looked like he didn't want to be there. You can tell that they switched directors halfway through.

Rating: 60
Percentile: 23.2558
Review: Tries way too hard, and Richard Roxburgh hams it up way too much as Dracula. This film was a CGI-fest, but that's good sometimes when it's used effectively, instead of gorging on it like this film did. Shame on you Stephen Sommers; you did well with the Mummy, and then you give us this.

Review: Not bad, and a vast improvement over the abysmal Episode I, but still needs a lot of work. It's a feast of pleasant and involving CGI, but the actors and script need polishing, as well as the direction.

Review: Not the best of the Lecter flicks, but it's better than Hannibal. Pretty good cinematography, good cast (though some are underutilized), and it looks way better than a Brett Ratner film has any right to.
