Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
—— Indie Sex: Censored (2007) " A fascinating subject that deserves all the intelligent attention it gets. Just, with The Celluloid Closet or Pornography: A History of Civilization, there have been better efforts." — Slant Magazine
Posted Jan 28, 2008
96% The Princess Bride (1987) " Lacking the commentaries and home video footage that graced previous The Princess Bride DVD releases, and short any comment from Reiner or Goldman, this pedestrian set hardly excites." — Slant Magazine
Posted Nov 13, 2007
36% As You Like It (2006) " Branagh's film suffers when that boldness does not go far enough, creating an adaptation that trades depth and cultural exploration for a few quick fireworks; it is not so much Kurosawa's Macbeth as Memoirs of a Geisha." — Slant Magazine
Posted Sep 25, 2007
92% That Thing You Do! (1996) " Get this edition if you like the movie, but stick to the theatrical release available as a feature on the first disc." — Slant Magazine
Posted May 9, 2007
2/4 87% Bobby Fischer Against The World (2011) " This is strong and effective documentary filmmaking, but it's only a lengthy prologue to the story on which Liz Garbus clearly wants to focus." — Slant Magazine
Posted Sep 4, 2011
2/4 73% Glastonbury (2007) " It's hard to pin down the intent and even the honesty of the filmmaker." — Slant Magazine
Posted Jun 12, 2007
2.5/4 —— Microphone () " Plays like a film school thesis under construction." — Slant Magazine
Posted Mar 23, 2011
2.5/4 67% Point Break (1991) " In terms of Hollywood history, Bigelow's film is the perfect document of its time." — Slant Magazine
Posted Nov 1, 2006
90% City Slickers (1991) " A different way of tackling the sons-and-fathers story, but right up there with the best of them--and a tremendous western comedy as well." — Slant Magazine
Posted Jun 2, 2008
83% The Ice Storm (1997) " Change, or the struggle to make change fit into the established system, is Lee's most familiar chord. He struck it loudest in The Ice Storm." — Slant Magazine
Posted Mar 24, 2008
3/4 83% The Ice Storm (1997) " As in any joke, destiny is a major character." — Slant Magazine
Posted Mar 24, 2008
91% The Last Emperor (1987) " One of cinema's greatest cinematographic performances combines with a director's epic vision and superb craftsmanship to create a visual masterpiece. Restored by Criterion, this set is well worth remembering." — Slant Magazine
Posted Feb 27, 2008
100% This Sporting Life (1963) " "You'll be what you are, self-reliant." A ringing quote that defines a film, a movement, a director, and a tremendous DVD set." — Slant Magazine
Posted Jan 21, 2008
97% The Lady Vanishes (1938) " Hitchcock and film lovers alike should not pass up this worthy copy of one of the director's British-made masterworks." — Slant Magazine
Posted Dec 26, 2007
97% Full Metal Jacket (1987) " A hyper-violent, foul-mouthed war movie that outpaces Apocalypse Now, Platoon, and a dozen others for sheer motive force. This disc, packaged with so many other Kubrick classics, only makes it better." — Slant Magazine
Posted Nov 19, 2007
97% The Hustler (1961) " The Hustler reaffirms your faith in the movies." — Slant Magazine
Posted Jun 29, 2007
73% Glastonbury (2007) " Sure, the film is about change, but did new culture come from Glastonbury, or did Glastonbury adapt to the culture? Without an answer to this or many similar questions, Glastonbury is a pretty spectacle with no documentary weight." — Slant Magazine
Posted Jun 12, 2007
96% Big (1988) " Marshall's film is gold." — Slant Magazine
Posted Jun 7, 2007
3/4 96% Big (1988) " The consummate '80s film about kid-dom and growing old too fast." — Slant Magazine
Posted Jun 7, 2007
95% The Guns of Navarone (1961) " A cold, hard caper." — Slant Magazine
Posted May 7, 2007
—— James Stewart - Signature Collection (2006) " Cagney's well worth remembering, and this set is a good start to a specific corner of his career." — Slant Magazine
Posted Apr 21, 2007
85% Major League (1989) " With baseball season underway, it's perfect timing to bring back this quotable classic. Remember The Ueck: "Just a bit outside!"" — Slant Magazine
Posted Apr 4, 2007
3/4 85% Major League (1989) " Consider Ward's comic framework and Major League is a top-tier baseball film." — Slant Magazine
Posted Apr 4, 2007
95% Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) " Thirty-one years, plus well over a decade since I was abruptly introduced to the film. It is, as it was then, extraordinary." — Slant Magazine
Posted Dec 1, 2006
67% Point Break (1991) " Surfing. Bank robbery. Skydiving. Johnny Utah. If you can stomach the contents, Point Break is a dumbly entertaining treat." — Slant Magazine
Posted Nov 1, 2006
3.5/4 90% City Slickers (1991) " A comedy that was and is ambitious and counterintuitive." — Slant Magazine
Posted Jun 2, 2008
3.5/4 97% The Lady Vanishes (1938) " What separates Lady Vanishes" — Slant Magazine
Posted Dec 26, 2007
3.5/4 96% The Princess Bride (1987) " A film of remarkable forwardness, honesty, and humor, built, like all fairy tales, around one message, summed up late in the script: "True love is the greatest thing in the world."" — Slant Magazine
Posted Nov 13, 2007
3.5/4 95% The Guns of Navarone (1961) " David Niven is the subservient but stylish chemist Miller, rounding out a film that ranks among the best war movies." — Slant Magazine
Posted May 7, 2007
3.5/4 95% Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) " A wonderful charm filters through these almost collegiate efforts, as if these underfunded Brits, in doing their best, did it better." — Slant Magazine
Posted Dec 1, 2006
4/4 91% The Last Emperor (1987) " The Last Emperor is most decisively a lesson of nobility." — Slant Magazine
Posted Feb 27, 2008
4/4 100% This Sporting Life (1963) " This Sporting Life is a quintessential entrant in Britain's kitchen-sink realism of the late-'50s and '60s." — Slant Magazine
Posted Jan 21, 2008
4/4 97% Full Metal Jacket (1987) " Somehow after the decadence of Barry Lyndon and a philosophical look at horror in The Shining, Stanley Kubrick settled into a film of unrestrained vitriol and aggression." — Slant Magazine
Posted Nov 19, 2007
4/4 97% The Hustler (1961) " This is the purest examination of an athlete's internal struggle ever mounted for the screen." — Slant Magazine
