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 3.5/5	Rotten 44%	The Box (2009)	" As a dark, strange and enjoyably paranoid little sci-fi thriller, I'd say the good points outweigh the bad by a long shot." — FEARnet Posted Nov 6, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 80%	Book of Blood (2008)	" A one-timer all the way, and even then I'd only recommend it to the most ravenous and thorough of horror aficionados." — FEARnet Posted Sep 21, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 100%	Best Worst Movie (2009)	" Of course people are always drawn together by movies, but do the movies at hand always have to be GOOD ones? (TROLL 2 tells us the answer is no.)" — FEARnet Posted Apr 3, 2009
Fresh 4/5	N/A	Blood River (2009)	" The 'scary stuff' ranges from sexual tension and psychological torture to theological threats and simple fear of death by dehydration..." — FEARnet Posted Apr 3, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 78%	Bronson (2009)	" Dark, intelligent and disturbing, supported by a force-of-nature lead performance and a clever screenplay." — Cinematical Posted Feb 2, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 82%	Black Dynamite (2009)	" One of those eminently quotable comedies that frat guys and movie geeks will come back to time and again." — Cinematical Posted Feb 2, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 41%	Brief Interviews with Hideous Men (2009)	" Feels like 25 very brief stage plays jammed together -- maybe five of which are worth sitting through." — Cinematical Posted Feb 2, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 67%	The Burrowers (2009)	" Sets you up for 'predictability' in both the western and horror departments, and then subverts those expectations time and again." — FEARnet Posted Oct 8, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 7%	Babylon A.D. (2008)	" Did we actually NEED a brain-dead action version of Children of Men? I say no." — FEARnet Posted Sep 2, 2008
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 47%	Battle for Terra (2009)	" Has a basic-yet-admirable statement to make about the best and worst of human nature, and it makes the statement colorfully, sincerely, and succinctly." — Cinematical Posted May 7, 2008
Fresh 3.5/5	N/A	The Boys From Baghdad High (2008)	" Will undoubtedly prove very insightful to those who believe all Iraqis are 'the enemy.'" — Cinematical Posted May 7, 2008
Fresh 3.5/5	N/A	Blip Festival: Reformat the Planet (2008)	" These guys make funky dance music out of old Nintendo games!" — Cinematical Posted Mar 19, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 43%	Broken (2008)	" It's not a stalker flick or a ghost story, although it's sort of a combination of both." — FEARnet Posted Jan 28, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 77%	Baghead (2008)	" A sly poke at indie filmmaking, a non-stop roller-coaster of sexual and romantic politics, and (yes) a slightly scary thriller when all is said and done." — FEARnet Posted Jan 28, 2008
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 35%	Blind Date (2009)	" The characters are barely introduced before we're plunked right into their angst-fest." — Cinematical Posted Jan 28, 2008
Rotten 2.5/5	N/A	Boogeyman 2 (2007)	" A whole lot gorier than the first one. I love how the beloved PG-13 gets tossed in the dumpster once the letters "DTV" are brought up." — FEARnet Posted Dec 26, 2007
Fresh 2.5/5	N/A	Bikini Bloodbath (2006)	" There's a tongue-in-cheek absurdity to the flick that, after a rough start, actually started to win me over." — FEARnet Posted Dec 16, 2007
Rotten 3/5	N/A	Believers (2007)	" *One can't help but think this C-minus movie would have made for a B-plus episode of Masters of Horror, with just a few trims here and there." — DVDTalk.com* Posted Nov 20, 2007
Rotten 2/5	N/A	Blood Monkey (2007)	" *Surely one doesn't toss something called Blood Monkey* into their DVD player with the expectation of something brilliant in return, but there's stupid and there's stupid.*" — FEARnet* Posted Nov 20, 2007
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 79%	Black Water (2007)	" There's something to be said for a chomp-em-up tale that exhibits some class, intensity, and restraint." — FEARnet Posted Nov 20, 2007
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 71%	Beowulf (2007)	" Stands as an unapologetically enthusiastic marriage between old-school heroism and modern-day wizardry. Plus it kicks ass!" — Cinematical Posted Nov 15, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 71%	Black Sheep (2007)	" If there were a whole list of movies about killer mutated sheep and the horrific things they do to people, this would undoubtedly be the very best of the bunch." — FEARnet DVD REVIEW Posted Oct 12, 2007
Fresh 3.5/5	N/A	The Burning (1981)	" The body count is admirably high, the splat comes fast and furious, and the whole dang formula feels strangely comfortable after all these years." — FEARnet Posted Oct 7, 2007
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 77%	Big Man Japan (2009)	" A flick tailor-made for the midnight slate at your favorite film festival. Especially if it's a festival that allows you to drink beer during screenings." — Cinematical Posted Sep 11, 2007
Rotten 2/5	N/A	Beneath (2007)	" *About as scary as an episode of Unsolved Mysteries." — FEARnet* Posted Aug 13, 2007
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 7%	Bratz: The Movie (2007)	" Just when you think the agony has subsided and the kids have to go home for supper, a freakin' music video breaks out." — Cinematical Posted Aug 6, 2007
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 93%	The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)	" Not only an improvement over its very fine predecessors -- it's easily one of the best movies of the year." — Cinematical Posted Aug 3, 2007
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 11%	Blood and Chocolate (2007)	" *A junior version of Underworld, minus the vampires, the action scenes, the cool FX, and the half-a-brain." — DVDTalk.com* Posted May 20, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 59%	Bug (2007)	" This "smaller" experiment turns out to be William Friedkin's best film in over 20 years." — FEARnet Posted May 17, 2007
Fresh 4/5	N/A	Born to Fight (2004)	" Born to Fight exists solely for the action, and there's no denying that the flick delivers it. And how." — DVDTalk.com Posted May 3, 2007
Fresh 3/5	N/A	Born to Fight (1986)	" The guys basically drive right into trucks and fling their bodies through billboards with no fear whatsoever. It's pretty wild." — DVDTalk.com Posted May 3, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 17%	Black Christmas (2006)	" The fans will dig the brief-yet-nasty FX work, but they'll have to slog through a pretty tiresome movie just to get their hands on those nuggets." — DVD Clinic Posted Apr 28, 2007
Rotten 2/5	N/A	Beneath Still Waters (2005)	" You'd think a southern-fried stew full of Lovecraft, Carpenter and Spielberg influences would make for a fairly decent way to spend 91 minutes. Nope." — DVDTalk.com Posted Apr 8, 2007
Rotten 2/5	N/A	Blood Trails (2007)	" *The flick feels like it wants to be a stark, dark and female-empowered shocker like High Tension, yet it fails on nearly every count." — DVDTalk.com* Posted Apr 6, 2007
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 69%	Blades of Glory (2007)	" *The textbook definition of a Passable Matinee Comedy, Blades of Glory* will please Will Ferrell's fans and irritate those who think figure skating is an activity worthy of reverence.*" — eFilmCritic.com* Posted Mar 30, 2007
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 91%	Bang the Drum Slowly (1973)	" Mention this flick to any guy over 40 and watch him get all weepy." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Mar 21, 2007
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 100%	Borderland (2007)	" Berman balances the weight of the actual events with the desire to mount a simply effective horror story, and I think he pulls it off quite well." — Cinematical Posted Mar 20, 2007
Fresh 3/5	N/A	Butterfly: A Grimm Love Story (2007)	" While I doubt I'll ever see the flick a second time, I've no problem recommending it to fans of dark and disturbing cinema." — Cinematical Posted Mar 20, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 39%	Beerfest (2006)	" Five pounds of (funny) stuff in a 12-pound bag." — DVD Clinic Posted Jan 23, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 27%	Beer League (2006)	" When a small delivery of casual swearing from Seymour Cassell earns your movie's biggest laugh, there's definitely a problem." — DVDTalk.com Posted Dec 10, 2006
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 22%	Barnyard: The Original Party Animals (2006)	" The animation is perfectly colorful and the voice actors earn their paychecks, but it's blatantly obvious that this thing started production without a screenplay -- and hit the screens without a plot." — DVDTalk.com Posted Dec 8, 2006
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 44%	Brooklyn Lobster (2006)	" Comes from a sincere (as in autobiographical) place, and, despite its familiar trappings, it's presented with an admirable lack of B.S." — DVDTalk.com Posted Dec 8, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 84%	Body Double (1984)	" It's a mystery, a romance, a horror flick, and a straight-faced parody all rolled into one unique little movie." — DVD Clinic Posted Nov 1, 2006
Rotten 2.5/5	N/A	Behind Enemy Lines 2: Axis of Evil (2006)	" Will offer a mild diversion to the action aficionadoes, but even those who like the flick will probably erase it from their memory banks in less than a week." — DVDTalk.com Posted Sep 20, 2006
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	Bottoms Up (2006)	" Jason Mewes woos Paris Hilton. Everything else is just roadkill." — DVD Clinic Posted Sep 20, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 71%	Black Sheep (2007)	" Pretty impressive work from a first-time filmmaker who aimed for equal portions of broad humor and gore galore -- and nailed both genres right on the mutton." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Sep 11, 2006
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 91%	Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)	" One of the funniest movies ever made. Yes, ever." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Sep 9, 2006
Fresh 4.5/5	N/A	Broken Trail (2006)	" I don't care if the thing was originally made for cable, theatrical, network, or Quicktime. This is one of the very best films I've seen all year." — DVDTalk.com Posted Aug 29, 2006
Rotten 2/5	N/A	Bone Sickness ()	" Genre fans will appreciate the naked hooters and the frequent gore-geysers, but you'll have to lean pretty heavily on the FF button if you want to get through the whole thing." — DVDTalk.com Posted Aug 28, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 48%	Beowulf & Grendel (2005)	" If you're game for a strange and beautiful-looking new version of the (very) old legend, you can safely give this one a rental." — DVDTalk.com Posted Aug 9, 2006
