Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (2000) 60% EDIT “In Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, not only don't we know where we are, we also don't know how seriously we're supposed to take the movie.” – PopMatters May 22, 2019 Full Review The Grace of Jake (2015) 80% 7/10 EDIT “A sincere picture, with a lot of interesting, ambitious writing that these blips mostly punctuate.” – PopMatters Feb 3, 2017 Full Review We Are the Flesh (2016) 73% 8/10 EDIT “We Are the Flesh is a work of art masquerading as an atrocity.” – PopMatters Jan 12, 2017 Full Review Abattoir (2016) 37% 5/10 EDIT “There's a reach on the part of Abattoir's makers that exceeds their grasp.” – PopMatters Dec 8, 2016 Full Review Nekromantik (1987) 50% C- EDIT “NEKROMANTIK is first and foremost a blatant and childish (though successful) attempt to disgust the most jaded conceivable audience, and doesn't have many aspirations beyond this.” – AboutCultFilm.com Sep 4, 2003 Full Review Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1966) 74% A EDIT “[The] subtext of childhood trauma that makes Faster, Pussycat a subtler movie than you might expect.” – AboutCultFilm.com Sep 2, 2003 Full Review The Driller Killer (1979) 64% B+ EDIT “Any fool can make a movie that's just frankly obscene, but it takes an edge of intelligence to make a film that crosses the line into the unspeakably abominable. DRILLER KILLER is such a film.” – AboutCultFilm.com Sep 2, 2003 Full Review The Curious Dr. Humpp (1969) A EDIT “Absolutely does not give a f*** about conventional film narration... spins a yarn with the deviant coherence of a paranoid fantasy or a death-bed vision.” – AboutCultFilm.com Sep 2, 2003 Full Review Bloody Pit of Horror (1965) B- EDIT “Peguri did the soundtrack for this film, and I mention him by name so that you will know to beat him senseless if you happen to see him in the street.” – AboutCultFilm.com Sep 2, 2003 Full Review Interview With the Assassin (2002) 67% EDIT “A Blair Witch-inspired mockumentary that, while based on a brilliant premise, is disappointingly bumpy nonetheless.” – PopMatters Jan 12, 2003 Full Review Someone Like You (2001) 41% EDIT “” – PopMatters Oct 31, 2001 Full Review Rock Star (2001) 53% EDIT “By using metal primarily to promote values at odds with the music's expressed philosophies ... it sadly misses an opportunity to be much more vivid and compelling than it is.” – PopMatters Sep 7, 2001 Full Review Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) 21% EDIT “All questions of religious symbolism aside, if you think about Illuminati, eyes, and triangles, while looking at the back of a dollar bill (right over where it says, you may get a better sense of which Almighty this movie really worships.” – PopMatters Jun 15, 2001 Full Review Pearl Harbor (2001) 24% EDIT “Hackneyed script and posterboard characters” – PopMatters May 25, 2001 Full Review The Dish (2000) 96% EDIT “Suffers from a halting execution.” – PopMatters Apr 6, 2001 Full Review Enemy at the Gates (2001) 53% EDIT “As an occasionally somber meditation on the toll war takes on the human soul, it's not without its moments.” – PopMatters Mar 16, 2001 Full Review The Watcher (2000) 11% EDIT “The Watcher's hemmed-in, pervasively technological urbanscape only allows for one superstitious -- though maybe not entirely irrational -- belief: that the one who photographs you can steal your soul.” – PopMatters Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Me, Myself & Irene (2000) 47% EDIT “If you like intentionally offensive comedy, then parts of Me, Myself & Irene will undoubtedly make you laugh.” – PopMatters Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Rules of Engagement (2000) 36% EDIT “Utterly nauseating.” – PopMatters Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Galaxy Quest (1999) 90% EDIT “It's a pretty funny movie, and thinking about all this too much while seeing it will just ruin all the jokes.” – PopMatters Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Dinosaur (2000) 65% EDIT “The sad story of the dinosaurs is one of the few Walt Disney got right the first time.” – PopMatters Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The Perfect Storm (2000) 47% EDIT “For audience members familiar with the story, the protagonists' journey is liable to feel like a simple, and dull, waiting game.” – PopMatters Jan 1, 2000 Full Review U-571 (2000) 67% EDIT “Resembles more the bulk of war movies before Vietnam than it does anything made in the last quarter-century.” – PopMatters Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Dr. T & the Women (2000) 58% EDIT “We're stuck, the movie seems to say. Men and women: this is simply how we are.” – PopMatters Jan 1, 2000 Full Review
