American Psycho 2 (2002)
24%
“This inoffensive and relatively tame so-called sequel is nothing more than formulaic campus frolics with a light twist and just enough surprises to keep the viewer's attention.” –

The Power and the Glory (1933)
86%
“The Sturges script pulls its punches and Howard's direction is not in the business of suggesting that redemption isn't the normal outcome of rapaciousness. Having said that, it's worth seeing if only for Tracy's performance.” –

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains (1982)
69%
“While Ladies And Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains falls short of being the word on the movement, it is a fascinating, entertaining and authentically grimy trawl through the seamy side of the music-biz.” –

Reefer Madness (1936)
39%
“Perhaps the mother of all bad movies, however, the didactic film, unlike later stinkers, takes itself extremely seriously, seeing itself as an important instrument in the campaign against drugs. However, the film's ignorance is the audience's bliss.” –

4/10
“The story, spread thin over two hours, owed something to better films but is entirely devoid of charm, wit, acting skill or excitement.” –

Cherry 2000 (1988)

“It's tolerably entertaining while the characters are in motion and Griffith is blasting the bad guys, but it grinds to a rusty halt whenever she feigns emotion.” –

“Director and writer Roger Kumble serves up a delicious feast of piquant evil one-liners which are delivered superbly by Geller, on great form, and the suave Phillippe.” –

The Amityville Horror (1979)
31%
“A scary movie that does not frighten or surprise you is as bad as a comedy that is not funny, and there's nothing here to have even the most mousish ducking under covers.” –

Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970)

“The zoom-frenzy direction of Ted Post, and a vague satire of Vietnam featuring some hysterical protesting peacenik chimps, does little to cover-up the film's difficulties. But it does have its moments.” –
