THOM FOWLER

Agrees with the Tomatometer 65% of the time.

Biography: critic, journalist, novelist, bon-vivant, anarchist, revolutionary, ***. I've sold vintage clothes, taught English in high schools, wrote desperate poetry in a wine drenched haze, had my heart broken and repaired, hiked along majestic ridges, skated on the edge of sanity and foolishly cracked open the bitter sweet fruit of life.

Favorites: Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure Xanadu

Fresh 4/5	Rotten 44%	Luther (2003)	" An inspiring, tightly focused, well-crafted film that tastefully reigns itself in from becoming an epic but pulls back too far on some subplots that could have been more developed." — Hollywood Bitchslap Posted Sep 26, 2003
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 94%	Dirty Pretty Things (2003)	" Stephen Frears turns nuanced, understated performances into an intensely pitched drama." — Hollywood Bitchslap Posted Jul 28, 2003
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 62%	Camp (2003)	" The combination of sap, echoes of truth, and lots of razzle-dazzle, song-and-dance is lethal." — Hollywood Bitchslap Posted Jul 25, 2003
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 85%	Swimming Pool (2003)	" Rampling and Sagnier drive a fiercely provocative film" — Hollywood Bitchslap Posted Jun 20, 2003
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 46%	Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003)	" Homo-erotic, swashbuckling, and magically adventurous" — eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 20, 2003
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 40%	The Hard Word (2003)	" �Honor among thieves� is the film�s unspoken catchphrase and ideas like good and bad and right and wrong side of the law are less important than the bonds of love and friendship." — Hollywood Bitchslap Posted Jun 11, 2003

Fresh 4/5	Rotten 53%	FairyTale: A True Story (1997)	" Representative of the universal childhood, but also the historical childhood of western culture before the adult age of industry, civil engineering and planned growth where everything is now a chart or a graph or a grid or an algorithm and there certainly" — Hollywood Bitchslap Posted May 23, 2003
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 22%	Faces of Death (1974)	" A compendium of grotesque and bizzare film clips documenting different aspects of ... Death.

Fresh 4/5	Fresh 93%	Election (1999)	" List Price: $29.99 Price: $26.99 find out more information Surprisingly sophisticated and complex for what could have been a lighthearted rock driven lifestyle advertisement for the adolescent eMpTyV set." — Hollywood Bitchslap Posted May 23, 2003
