Hamlet (1996)
95%
3.5/4
“A highly charged interpretation that paints the great Dane not so much as a melancholy, morally confused prince but rather a jock with a rapier wit and an unquenchable thirst for revenge.” –

Captain America (1990)
6%
2/4
“The film isn’t as bad as its reputation, with its bold ambitions mainly neutralized by the lack of skill on the part of director Albert Pyun and the lack of finances on the part of notorious cheapo producer Menahem Golan (of Cannon Group infamy).” –

What Lies Beneath (2000)

2/4
“As schizophrenic as any film that comes to mind -- I reasonably wondered if elements from Wuthering Heights or Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood wouldn’t somehow find their way into this crazy patchwork quilt of a movie.” –

Springfield Rifle (1952)
2/4
“Gary Cooper, that most noble of movie heroes, playing a coward and a traitor? Say it ain’t so! It ain’t so.” –

Merry-Go-Round (1923)
3/4
“Too many cineastes unfairly make it sound like Rupert Julian was basically the Uwe Boll of the silent era, taking Erich von Stroheim’s baby and murdering it. That’s hardly the case, as this box office hit stands as an absorbing and often moving melodrama.” –

Just Friends (2005)
42%
2.5/4
“There were so many high-gross-out, low-IQ comedies made during the 2000s that it often felt like they rolled off a conveyor belt. Just Friends is exactly that sort of dumdum fare, yet it fares a bit better than most.” –

Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (1995)

2.5/4
“Thirty years later, when it can breathe on its own, it plays a bit better, even if it still qualifies as an also-ran.” –

Sneakers (1992)
79%
2.5/4
“Sneakers often plays like a kiddie version of Redford’s ‘70s gem Three Days of the Condor, with the paranoia replaced by pranks. Still, there are worse ways to spend 126 minutes.” –

Motor Psycho (1965)
2.5/4
“If nothing else, Motorpsycho should be acknowledged (but generally isn’t) for helping kick off not one but two exploitation genres -- and I’m not even including the usual Russ Meyer classification of sexploitation.” –

Humanoids From the Deep (1980)

2.5/4
“This combines the social conscience occasionally found in Corman productions with the expected nudity and gore, although in this case, more of the latter ingredients were added after the initial shoot in order to provide it with extra exploitation oomph.” –
