What are QuickRatings?

Approved Tomatometer critics rate and provide brief quotes to movies seldomly reviewed in our database - mainly older films and obscure limited releases. Full-length reviews are not necessary, and thus, will not be available. QuickRatings are counted towards The Tomatometer.

They Live

" John Carpenter's They Live has cult favorite written all over it, and part of the reason is the way it regenerates the cheap, juicy, surprisingly potent sci-fi of the 1950s. "

Jaws

" It may be the most cheerfully perverse scare movie ever made. Even while you're convulsed with laughter you're still apprehensive, because the editing rhythms are very tricky, and the shock images loom up huge, right on top of you. "

Jaws

" The result is a fast-paced, straight-line thriller that moves without pause toward the climactic contest at sea between three men and a 25-foot, 3-ton great while killer shark. "

First Family

" Unfunny farce about an inept president, his alcoholic wife and their motley family and aides. "

The Last Exorcism Part II

" There's a lot to be said for restraint in a horror film, but the filmmakers went for too far of an extreme here. "

Deuces Wild

" It not only promotes every stereotype and invokes every cliché of Brooklyn lore, it combines them all into an insulting composite, fuses that to the chrome-and-fins of the pointless Fifties, and then -- weirdly -- pretends it's Shakespeare. "

Battlefield Earth

" With this kind of epic ineptitude -- hell, the flick is set in the year 3000 -- you go for "worst of the millennium." "

Phil Spector

" As we're treated to another nonsensical, repetitive soliloquy about the victimization of a violent millionaire, it's worth noting that the Wall of Sound required an echo chamber. "

Private Resort

" The movie claims it is a comedy, though a laugh or even a chuckle is a rarity. "

Star Trek Into Darkness

" More of the same from J.J. "Lens Flare" Abrams. No substance. All action. Discredit to Gene's legacy. Review pending. "
