American Psycho 2 (2002) 24% “Anonymously directed by Morgan J. Freeman, Psycho 2 trades its predecessor's sharp social satire for a mixture of dumbed-down irony, groan-inducing black comedy, and gratuitous bloodshed. ” – AV Club Mar 31, 2025 Full Review Dont Look Back (1967) 91% “Don't Look Back is a spellbinding portrayal of a gifted artist at the peak of his creative brilliance.” – AV Club May 9, 2022 Full Review Mishima (1985) 79% A “Just as his subject sought to reconcile intellect and action, words and deeds, Schrader finds a perfect union between sound and image, weighty ideas, and giddy sensual rapture.” – AV Club Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Dare (2009) 59% B+ “I didn't expect much from Dare going in but was pleasantly surprised by its willingness to take chances and push its characters and its audience out of their comfort zones.” – AV Club Aug 4, 2021 Full Review The Secret of My Success (1987) 48% “The profound moral and spiritual emptiness at the core of The Secret Of My Success keeps it from being the dumb fun promised by its premise, title, and extensive use of Yello.” – The Dissolve Jun 9, 2021 Full Review The Decline of Western Civilization (1981) 100% “The film's style is as brutal, stripped-down and purposefully devoid of frills as the music of its subjects.” – Globe and Mail May 8, 2021 Full Review The Stunt Man (1980) 90% “It's a carnivalesque lark whose brevity and gravity are both attributable to the remarkable, pitch-perfect performance of O'Toole...” – The Dissolve Mar 7, 2021 Full Review Buddha of Suburbia (1993) “Unfortunately, the movie's four hours seem to pass almost as slowly as the eight years of the protagonist's life covered in the film.” – AV Club Feb 18, 2021 Full Review Patrick (1978) 36% “Unfortunately, Patrick has one huge liability in its comatose killer: Everyone's best efforts still can't make the film's heavy even slightly scary.” – AV Club Oct 23, 2020 Full Review The Girl (2012) 70% “The Girl fatally lacks a strong take on its story, though Hitchcock himself might have treasured the irony that a film about the ultimate auteur would be undone by the dearth of a strong authorial voice behind the camera.” – AV Club Aug 4, 2020 Full Review Pretty Ugly People (2008) “Pretty Ugly People has a premise so staggeringly, insultingly stupid that it would require brilliant execution to pull it off. (Unfortunately, the execution isn't even good, let alone brilliant.)” – The Dissolve May 15, 2020 Full Review Hardball (2001) 41% “Director Brian Robbins' film ultimately seems as uninterested in penetrating the graffiti-scarred walls of its Cabrini Green setting as its white-bread protagonist is.” – AV Club May 13, 2020 Full Review 61* (2001) 86% “What begins as a lively, vibrant evocation of one of baseball's greatest seasons ends as a frustratingly conventional tale of sports heroism, a sort of upscale movie-of-the-week for the Classic Sports Network crowd.” – AV Club Mar 25, 2020 Full Review How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) 49% “Director Ron Howard aims for the beautifully stylized mayhem of Frank Tashlin and Tim Burton, but he comes closer to the clamorous, headache-inducing visual overkill of Joel Schumacher's Batman movies.” – AV Club Nov 6, 2019 Full Review Just Friends (2005) 43% “This movie had some good ideas, but never gelled.” – AV Club Nov 6, 2019 Full Review The Original Kings of Comedy (2000) 83% “As a testament to the vitality of black comedy, The Original Kings Of Comedy is a success. As a comedy, however, it's sluggishly paced and not nearly funny enough to justify its two-hour running time.” – AV Club Aug 7, 2019 Full Review Robin Williams: Live on Broadway (2002) 40% “While Williams is noticeably less hyperactive than in past appearances, he still relies heavily on a quaint combination of antiquated stereotypes and frantic mugging.” – AV Club Aug 6, 2019 Full Review The Way of the Gun (2000) 46% “Devoid of even one sympathetic character, sluggishly paced, and full of unnecessary subplots and supporting players, The Way Of The Gun is bad enough to suggest that, three films into his career, McQuarrie's best moments are already behind him.” – AV Club Jun 17, 2019 Full Review Postal (2007) 9% C- “With Postal, Boll clearly set out to make history's most offensive, hateful movie. As is his custom, he failed spectacularly.” – AV Club Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Man on Fire (2004) 38% “Scott's latest exercise in assaultive excess nevertheless lingers for two and a half hours, like a drunken houseguest who won't leave.” – AV Club Apr 17, 2019 Full Review Equilibrium (2002) 40% “Though ultimately silly, Equilibrium's shopworn but stylish synthesis of ammo and ideas is surprisingly engrossing.” – AV Club Apr 17, 2019 Full Review Cruel Intentions (1999) 54% “Cruel Intentions is smarter and funnier than anything in the recent cycle of high-school sex comedies... but it's little more than a wildly uneven, sporadically enjoyable guilty pleasure.” – AV Club Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Cabin in the Sky (1943) 81% B+ “Cabin In The Sky can feel a little claustrophobic and stage-bound, but it develops a jazzy, infectious rhythm (especially in its third act), and it's a rare treat to see so many supernovas of the black entertainment universe together in one movie.” – AV Club Feb 22, 2019 Full Review Lady Sings the Blues (1972) 71% “For all the liberties the film takes with the facts of Holiday's life, the bottomless hurt in Ross' voice as she channels Holiday's tartly tragic spirit rings true.” – AV Club Feb 1, 2019 Full Review Pitch Black (2000) 59% “Pitch Black falters a bit in its last half-hour-the film's darkest moment reduces Diesel to delivering a pithy one-liner-but for the most part, it's terrific.” – AV Club Oct 17, 2018 Full Review
