85/100 95% The Trials of Henry Kissinger (2002) This documentary, far from a trial and not for geeks only, presents a focused, ferocious attack on a beloved target long overdue for his comeuppance. - Apollo Guide EDIT
Read More | Posted Jan 27, 2004
70/100 No Score Yet Virgin Machine (1989) Has the power to quietly dazzle with a luscious black and white look, but neglects to deliver any drama with its message of lesbian liberation. - Apollo Guide EDIT

80/100 100% ...And God Spoke (The Making of '...And God Spoke') (1994) Clever humour, a lack of pretension, and crafty weaving of actual reality throughout the plot delivers a bounty of laughs minus the pandering of mainstream Hollywood satire. - Apollo Guide EDIT

Read More | Posted Nov 17, 2003
40/100 No Score Yet Critters 4: They're Invading Your Space (1991) A dearth of adolescent ideas and cheap effects that appeal to the intellect of a nine-year-old. - Apollo Guide EDIT
Read More | Posted Nov 17, 2003
38/100 No Score Yet Critters 3 (1991) Suffers from an anemic, episodic plot, weak special effects, and most damning, membership in a virtually worthless film genre - little monster comedies. - Apollo Guide EDIT

58/100 No Score Yet Invitation to Hell (1984) It's faint praise indeed, but you won't find a much better laughable, made-for-television, B-movie horror than this. - Apollo Guide EDIT

50/100 No Score Yet Soft Skin on Black Silk (1964) Titillation completists might be interested, or undiscriminating Francophiles, but the average moviegoer will find little of interest in this quaint, sexual film noir. - Apollo Guide EDIT

76/100 57% Fritz the Cat (1972) Those who consider themselves un-cool can still take pleasure in viewing this strange adult-oriented feature length cartoon, the likes of which flourished briefly in the 1970s but never became established as mainstream entertainment. - Apollo Guide EDIT

70/100 64% The Dancer Upstairs (2002) A bit like an adolescent - desperate to be taken seriously, yet still self-consciously goofy and immature. - Apollo Guide EDIT

65/100 No Score Yet Stranger in Our House (1978) There is some small enjoyment, besides that found in wasting a few minutes with television history, in the silly, pulpy quality of the proceedings. - Apollo Guide EDIT
