"My grandfather's work...was...doo-doo!""

Agrees with the Tomatometer 75% of the time.

Biography: http://www.livejournal.com/users/sweinberg // Born and raised in Philadelphia, I got bit by the movie bug at a very early age. After my father brought home a massive Betamax, I began hanging out at the local Video Village (anyone remember those?) and they put me to work. For a few hours of work after school, I got all the free rentals I could handle. (If I told you how many movies I watched between the ages of 13-20, you wouldn't believe it...and yes, I did have a social life!) From West Coast Video to General Cinemas to Tower Video... if it dealt with movies, I worked there. After studying journalism and film at Temple University, I found myself quite unemployed. The Internet afforded me the option to pursue my goal of becoming a film critic, and it's a wonderful life indeed. Hopefully impressive-sounding resumé-type bio-blurb: Scott Weinberg is the author of over 1,900 movie reviews and is currently a member of the Online Film Critics Society, an organization that represents over 190 of the world's finest online film critics. Scott is the Managing Editor of eFilmCritic.com / HollywoodBitchslap.com, where he focuses on new theatrical releases, classics on DVD, cult films both obscure and atrocious, and extensive coverage of the Sundance, South By Southwest, Toronto, and Philadelphia film festivals. His reviews can also be found on websites such as Cinematical, DVD Talk, JoBlo's Movie Emporium (DVD Clinic), Horror.com, Daily-Reviews.com, The Apollo Movie Guide, Monsters at Play, MrSkin.com, and Netflix, while his opinionated movie rants can regularly be heard on WGN radio in Chicago and WMET radio in Washington D.C. Scott also writes features (and the daily Newsday Reports) for Rotten Tomatoes ... plus he just started doing a DVD column for Femme Fatales Magazine, which is pretty darn cool for a geek like him.

Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date (default)

Fresh 4/5	Rotten 50%	Antichrist (2009)	" A confrontational film that dances between the sublime, the mundane, and the shocking with little to no regard for audience expectations." — FEARnet Posted Oct 19, 2009
Fresh 3/5	N/A	Autopsy (2008)	" A dry set-up and a familiar setting, but its got an admirable devotion to old-fashioned, over-the-top, Fango-friendly gore-gasms." — FEARnet Posted Mar 30, 2009
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	Against the Dark (2009)	" Every 15 minutes a few blood-covered stuntmen leap out from the shadows and get involved in some uneventful carnage. You'll hardly notice." — FEARnet Posted Feb 12, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 100%	Alien Raiders (2008)	" Suffice to say that Alien Raiders has a few modest surprises up its sleeve, and that's more than most low-budget genre concoctions even attempt." — FEARnet Posted Oct 13, 2008
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 67%	The Auteur (2008)	" *If you don't mind a lot of smutty gags mixed with a strange concoction of wit, warmth, and (yes) melodrama, I'm betting you'll become a fan of The Auteur." — Cinematical* Posted May 2, 2008
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 50%	Automaton Transfusion (2006)	" More than enough energy, mayhem and gore to keep the serious horror freaks entertained." — FEARnet Posted Mar 4, 2008
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 24%	Adventures of Power (2009)	" A pretty agonizing affair." — Cinematical Posted Jan 28, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 13%	Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)	" *If your ONLY complaint about Alien vs. Predator* is that it wasn't graphically violent enough, then you're going to love this movie.*" — FEARnet* Posted Dec 26, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 24%	Awake (2007)	" Unloads a volley of plot twists that'll have you slapping your head in disbelief, provided you haven't figured them out by the end of Act I." — FEARnet Posted Dec 16, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 69%	Alone With Her (2007)	" *A novel spin on an oft-told tale, Alone with Her* is a fine little indie indeed. What could have been just another gimmick flick turns out to be a pretty intense ride.*" — DVD Clinic* Posted May 24, 2007
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 35%	The Abandoned (2007)	" *This is coming from a guy who really enjoys a "slow burn" ghost story: The Abandoned* is a grade-A snoozer.*" — Cinematical* Posted Feb 24, 2007
Rotten 3/5	Rotten 44%	Adrift in Manhattan (2007)	" Throw a rock into any year's Sundance guide and you're guaranteed to hit at least two or three multi-pronged grave and oh-so-earnest weep-dramas like this one." — Cinematical Posted Jan 23, 2007
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 67%	A Scanner Darkly (2006)	" Destined to become one of those movies that college kids love to rent and smoke bongs with." — DVD Clinic Posted Jan 17, 2007
Rotten 2.5/5	N/A	Altered (2006)	" Devoted genre fans should feel free to give it a rental, but don't expect to be blown away." — DVDTalk.com Posted Dec 26, 2006
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile (2006)	" *I don't know who's out there buying the American Pie* video sequels, but I sure do wish they'd stop.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Dec 26, 2006
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 33%	Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker (2006)	" An instantly forgettable confection that'll bore more kids than it entertains." — DVDTalk.com Posted Dec 21, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 60%	Ali G Indahouse: The Movie (2002)	" It's got 12 or 15 moments of inspired comedy ... stuck in an 88-minute frame packed with full-on wheel-spinning." — DVDTalk.com Posted Dec 21, 2006
Rotten 3/5	Rotten 36%	Accepted (2006)	" Not a very memorable little college flick." — DVD Clinic DVD REVIEW Posted Nov 22, 2006
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 58%	Abominable (2006)	" I dug it." — DVD Clinic DVD REVIEW Posted Nov 1, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 74%	Addams Family Values (1993)	" *The second Addams flick is actually funny, too. And obviously that goes a long way." — DVDTalk.com* Posted Oct 25, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 57%	The Addams Family (1991)	" The plot is a threadbare thing indeed." — DVDTalk.com Posted Oct 25, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 50%	All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2009)	" All the Boys Love Mandy Lane is what we call a "thinking man's slasher flick." Hell, it might just be the first one ever." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Sep 13, 2006
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	Absolute Zero (2005)	" *I've always had a soft spot for B-level disaster movies, but Absolute Zero* is so silly, so wooden, and so stunningly inert -- I'm kinda surprised it didn't launch a new TV series.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Aug 28, 2006
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 36%	Accepted (2006)	" It's a mildly diverting concept that's been brought to the screen with a notable lack of style and effort." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 17, 2006
Fresh 4/5	N/A	Animaniacs - Vol. 1 ()	" Animation buffs will no doubt enjoy the Maniacs' first season, but it's the movie geeks who'll probably get the biggest kick out of the cartoon." — DVD Clinic Posted Aug 9, 2006
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 72%	Awesome! I... Shot That! (2004)	" My opinion of this unique and exciting concert flick may be influenced by the fact that I simply L-O-V-E the band, but really; who else was this movie made for except the old-school Beastie faithful?" — DVDTalk.com Posted Jul 28, 2006
Rotten 2.5/5	Fresh 62%	ATL (2006)	" A well-meaning and good-hearted urban melodrama -- that doesn't really seem to have anything new to say." — DVD Clinic Posted Jul 25, 2006
Rotten 2/5	N/A	Asphalt Wars (2004)	" Another 'urban racer' flick that employs only the oldest, hairiest, and most reliable cliches, plot points, and stereotypes." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jul 24, 2006
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 10%	Annapolis (2006)	" The innumerable "saw it coming" plot contrivances begin to stack up like so much cinematic cord wood." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jun 29, 2006
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	Amazon Jail (1982)	" If all you're after is 90 minutes of bare boobage, you can certainly find better ways to acquire them. " — DVDTalk.com Posted Jun 18, 2006
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 12%	An American Haunting (2006)	" Spacek and Sutherland could do work like this in their sleep ... and now we have the proof." — eFilmCritic.com Posted May 5, 2006
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 58%	Abominable (2006)	" *An entirely familiar yet slyly entertaining little throwback to the days of Grizzly, Pumpkinhead, and Prophecy* -- with a big dose of Rear Window tossed in, just to amp the tension up a little.*" — eFilmCritic.com* Posted Apr 15, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 84%	Air Guitar Nation (2007)	" *I wouldn't exactly call Air Guitar Nation* the next important documentary, but as a colorful look at an admittedly goofy activity, the flick's a pleasant little winner.*" — eFilmCritic.com* Posted Mar 20, 2006
Fresh 3/5	N/A	Archie Bunker's Place - The Complete First Season (1979)	" It doesn't have the magic of the original series, but it's not a terrible spinoff sequel." — DVDTalk.com Posted Feb 18, 2006
Fresh 4/5	N/A	Action - The Complete Series (1999)	" *Acidic, acerbic, trenchant, and amazingly ballsy for a prime-time network series, Action* was doomed from its premiere episode. (Let's hear it for DVD!)*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Feb 5, 2006
Fresh 4/5	N/A	The Adventures of Mark Twain (1985)	" There's more than enough weird and wise material to keep you entertained -- especially if you're an animation buff or a Samuel Clemens aficionado." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jan 17, 2006
Fresh 3/5	N/A	All Souls Day: Dia de los Muertos (2005)	" *I'd rather sit down with a knowingly tacky little horror indie like All Souls Day* than a shameless husk of a studio remake like The Fog.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Jan 15, 2006
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	American Pie Presents: Band Camp (2005)	" Because nothing makes a bad movie better than the presence of a former porn star who's now being asked to do comedy." — DVDTalk.com Posted Dec 30, 2005
Fresh 3.5/5	N/A	Arizona (1940)	" It's not as gritty as John Wayne or as romantic as Louis L'Amour, but the flick's a solid enough black & white throwback to keep the Western fans suitably entertained." — DVDTalk.com Posted Dec 19, 2005
Fresh 4.5/5	N/A	The Amazing Race - The Seventh Season (2005)	" *Like I said before: The Amazing Race* is not only (and easily) one of the best reality shows; it's one of the best things on television, period.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Dec 14, 2005
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 10%	Aeon Flux (2005)	" It's as if someone just swept up the floor at the Sci-Fi Factory, and instead of tossing the junk into the garbage, they glued it together and called it a movie." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Dec 6, 2005
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 71%	Alone in the Dark (1982)	" *Palance, Pleasance, and Landau ensure that, while it might get a little dry and silly at times, Alone in the Dark* sure isn't boring.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Nov 18, 2005
Rotten 2/5	N/A	American Movie Musicals Collection - Vol. 1 (1955)	" *'Pan & scanning' West Side Story* is like peeing on a Picasso.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Nov 18, 2005
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 67%	Anzio (1968)	" Anzio's not exactly considered a "classic" in the war-story genre, but it'll absolutely do for a rainy Saturday matinee." — DVDTalk.com Posted Nov 9, 2005
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 19%	Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005)	" No amount of bells & whistles can salvage a screenplay this half-baked." — DVDTalk.com Posted Sep 25, 2005
Fresh 5/5	N/A	The Amazing Race - The Complete First Season (2001)	" The Amazing Race: Season 1 is digital quicksand. Stick one toe in, and you won't be able to extricate yourself until it's all over." — DVDTalk.com Posted Sep 22, 2005
Fresh 3/5	N/A	Ascension (2000)	" Exceedingly well-directed and periodically quite fascinating, yet almost helplessly lifeless in several spots." — DVDTalk.com Posted Aug 29, 2005
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	After Image (2001)	" It's not like the world's clamoring for yet another hopelessly arid serial killer procedural. Let alone one that stars John "Don't call me Cougar" Mellencamp." — DVDTalk.com Posted Aug 7, 2005
Fresh 3.5/5	N/A	Alien Planet (2005)	" *A "What If?" peek at the beasts that might live on a planet six light-years away, Alien Planet* is more than cool enough to keep the sci-fi geeks (like me) entertained.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Jul 28, 2005
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	The Adventurers (1970)	" This movie takes a solid three hours to tell a story that could have (easily) been disseminated in about thirty minutes." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jul 21, 2005
