| 70/100 | 38% | The Great Gatsby (1974) |
Though lush in nearly every way, under the reproachful eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg, The Great Gatsby becomes ineffectual and rudderless.‐ Apollo Guide

| 50/100 | 8% | The Order (2003) |
As the movie's promotion intimates, 'There is a fate worse than death,' and you got it - it's sitting through this movie.‐ Apollo Guide

| 84/100 | 60% | Fidel (2002) |
A landmark work that should have viewers across the world reaching for history books to learn not only politically expedient accounts of Fidel's life, but also the real deal.‐ Apollo Guide

| 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

| 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

| 93/100 | 94% | Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) |
Despite an acidic world-view, it generates a real feeling of the worth of artistic achievement and personal struggle.‐ Apollo Guide

| 74/100 | No Score Yet | The Magnificent Butcher (1998) |
Not a thoughtful story or meaningful character arc, but viewers who enjoy the grace and exhilaration of a good martial arts battle will find plenty to enjoy.‐ Apollo Guide

| 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

| 42/100 | 0% | Repossessed (1990) |

| 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

| 38/100 | 0% | 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

Unless you're willing to wade through a ton of offal to see some cool bikes, you're better off at the Honda showroom.‐ Apollo Guide

| 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

| 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

| 76/100 | 58% | 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

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
