Getting Straight (1970)
It's an irritating and shallow film that sends the wrong message on college protests and proves Hollywood has little understanding of the counter-culture movement.

Border Feud (1947)
A typical low-budget B Western from the 1940s, reminding one of the prototypical TV westerns of the 1950s.

It's as bad as any videogame movie I've seen, as the plot is muddled, never explained and the acting is worse than bad.

Armored (2009)
No-nonsense B crime thriller.
Posted Apr 28, 2018

C
Cymbeline (2015)
It gives us Shakespeare, but with a murkiness and lack of poetics and too many story-lines converging all at once.
Posted Apr 27, 2018

Kingsley gives a hammy performance.

Dawson City: Frozen Time (2017)

Taken 3 (2015)
A stinker.
Posted Apr 22, 2018

C+
The Hunted (1994)
A mostly risible graphic martial-arts thriller, that's not for the squeamish or the critical.
Posted Apr 21, 2018
35
C+
Morgan (2016)
A robotic and joyless sci-fi film that never comes alive.
Posted Apr 20, 2018

B-
Raw (2017)
This stylishly, dark, perverse. Gallic, coming-of-age horror pic is too arty to be considered merely an exploitation film--but it's close.

The Betrayed (2008)
A tense kidnapping thriller.
Posted Apr 14, 2018
44
B
Night of the Strangler (1973)

B Western.
Posted Apr 13, 2018

The appealing Academy Award-winning documentary shows the celebrated American poet Robert Frost (1879-1963) lecturing and giving a reading ... .
