SCOTT WEINBERG

""One dollar and NINE CENTS!"

"Not unless round's funny."

"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 3.5/5	N/A	The Entrepreneur (2009)	" A compelling and low-key documentary about the American Dream ... and how we often have to go overseas to find it." — Cinematical Posted Oct 7, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 83%	Eden Lake (2008)	" It's not your typical "wooded horror" movie, but Eden Lake works exceedingly well, and will probably stick in your gut for a little while." — FEARnet Posted Nov 6, 2008
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 73%	Eden (2008)	" Eden is almost achingly personal, and it's a testament to the small-but-powerful Irish film industry that tiny little personal stories like this one get funding." — Cinematical Posted May 7, 2008
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 53%	Elite Squad (2008)	" A very compelling movie that's almost ruined by a horrible narration track." — Cinematical Posted May 2, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 57%	Explicit Ills (2008)	" A film that wants to speak out (loudly and clearly) about some of our nation's most obvious maladies, and it does so in an impressively honest, angry, and semi-hopeful fashion." — Cinematical Posted Mar 19, 2008
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 22%	The Eye (2008)	" Takes a B-minus import and turns it into a D-minus retread." — FEARnet Posted Feb 2, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 27%	Evening (2007)	" Frankly I could watch Danes, Collette, Streep, Close, Richardson, etc., as they go food shopping, which just goes to show what a bunch of great actors can do for a fairly conventional tear-jerker." — DVDTalk.com Posted Oct 25, 2007
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 18%	The Ex (2007)	" *Aspiring filmmakers should check it out as a lesson plan from Bizarro World: Make a movie that's the exact opposite of The Ex* and it could be the funniest film ever made.*" — Cinematical* Posted May 11, 2007
Fresh 4/5	N/A	End of the Line (2007)	" A tight-fisted and hard-hearted little "under the radar" horror flick that I quite enjoyed." — Cinematical Posted Apr 20, 2007
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 82%	Exiled (2007)	" While certainly an entertaining enough romp through the world of bullet-defying tough guys, the movie could use perhaps 10% more action or 15% less chit-chat." — Cinematical Posted Apr 20, 2007
Rotten 1/5	N/A	The Eden Formula (2006)	" If you're looking for a movie so bad it could teach small children what bad filmmaking is all about, here's the first thing you should pull off the shelf." — DVDTalk.com Posted Apr 3, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 54%	Eagle Vs. Shark (2007)	" The humor is fast-paced and character-based, and the two leads are nothing short of hilarious." — Cinematical Posted Jan 29, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 2%	Epic Movie (2007)	" Because nothing in the universe is funnier than watching Jack Sparrow or Willy Wonka break out into hip-hop gyrations." — Cinematical Posted Jan 26, 2007
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 16%	Eragon (2006)	" *You'll probably spot eight or nine different pieces of uncredited source material as the garish smear of Eragon* washes over you.*" — Cinematical* Posted Dec 21, 2006
Rotten 1/5	N/A	Evil Behind You (2006)	" The thing starts out fun-bad, kind of like a novelty, but then gradually turns into a certifiable chore of biblical proportions." — DVDTalk.com Posted Nov 25, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 46%	Edmond (2006)	" It's not exactly a "happy" movie, but it sure is a fascinating one." — DVD Clinic Posted Nov 15, 2006
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 9%	Eaten Alive (1976)	" One is tempted to wonder aloud if drugs and booze didn't actually direct this relatively woeful flick." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jul 10, 2006
Fresh 4.5/5	N/A	Entourage: The Complete Second Season (2006)	" *In the hands of lesser actors and producers, Entourage* could have been a stunningly obnoxious experience. Happily for all involved, it is not.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Jun 6, 2006
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 70%	Enemy of the State (1998)	" It's got some great action moments, just enough energy to jolt you through the exposition deliveries, and a ridiculously colorful cast to keep your eyeballs busy." — DVDTalk.com Posted May 14, 2006
Rotten 2/5	N/A	End Game (2006)	" It all plays out like a wanna-be episode of 24 or a screenplay that was deemed "just a little too good" for Seagal or Van Damme to anchor the thing." — DVDTalk.com Posted Apr 15, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 21%	Event Horizon (1997)	" While this 2-disc Special Edition might not be the Director's Cut we were all hoping for, there's little denying that Paramount's put together an excellent little release here." — DVDTalk.com DVD REVIEW Posted Apr 13, 2006
Rotten 2/5	N/A	Evil Dead Trap 2 (1991)	" The thing starts out with the flimsiest of premises, and then runs around in circles for an hour before crashing back to earth with one of the goofiest finales I've ever seen." — Horror.com Posted Mar 29, 2006
Fresh 3.5/5	N/A	Evil Dead Trap (1988)	" The first hour has a grim and gritty anti-charm that's quite devilishly entertaining. And then the wheels kinda come off." — Horror.com Posted Mar 29, 2006
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 35%	Eros (2005)	" Feels like an experiment that you'd be happy to catch during a film festival ... right before you nodded off for a solid 90-minute catnap." — DVD Clinic Posted Mar 29, 2006
Fresh 3/5	N/A	Evilenko (2004)	" I was happy just to watch Malcolm McDowell go insane for two hours." — DVDTalk.com Posted Feb 18, 2006
Fresh 3.5/5	N/A	The Escapist (2001)	" *As a simple yet satisfying pulp-crime story from across the pond, The Escapist* is quite a lot more entertaining than you'd logically expect.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Jan 1, 2006
Rotten 2/5	N/A	Excessive Force II: Force on Force (1995)	" Every time our heroine blows a chance to shoot her enemy in the head because she's too busy monologuing, drink a shot of bourbon. You'll never get drunker." — DVDTalk.com Posted Nov 26, 2005
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 98%	Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn (1987)	" Evil Dead 2 is a grade-A masterpiece of morbid mayhem. Find me a horror geek who doesn't agree and I'll take a chainsaw to a body part of your choice." — DVD Clinic Posted Oct 4, 2005
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 64%	Evil Aliens (2005)	" It's splattery and loud and frantic and laden with wall-to-wall gore of the nastiest kind. And yes, I mean that in the nicest way possible." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Sep 12, 2005
Fresh 4.5/5	N/A	ER - The Complete Third Season (1995)	" ER is that very rare example of a series that’s steeped in realistic, fascinating science yet never loses sight of the most important thing in any story: the characters." — DVDTalk.com Posted Apr 27, 2005
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 10%	Elektra (2005)	" Giving a spec/polish script to a neophyte director and demanding a low-end vehicle for today's hot eye-candy is not the way to bring superheroes to life. Just ask Halle Berry." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Jan 13, 2005
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 11%	Exorcist: The Beginning (2004)	" This is what happens when an entire movie is created via reshoot." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 19, 2004
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 40%	Evilspeak (1981)	" *Recommendable only to the staunchest of horror geeks, like myself, Evilspeak* is a fairly noteworthy little horror chestnut for a variety of colorful reasons.*" — Monsters At Play* Posted Jul 29, 2004
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 93%	Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)	" If this one doesn't make my year-end Top 10, that means we're due for at least ten more movies as brilliantly entertaining as this one. Somehow I doubt that's going to happen." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Mar 19, 2004
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 46%	Eurotrip (2004)	" This one's so laughless, so charmless, and so resoundingly amateurish that one wonders why it doesn't carry a "National Lampoon Presents" in front of the title." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Feb 20, 2004
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 64%	The Eye (2003)	" Fans of crackerjack 'beyond the grave' thrillers and Japanese flicks in general should find much to enjoy." — Daily-Reviews DVD REVIEW Posted Feb 18, 2004
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 32%	Eulogy (2004)	" Go in expecting not much more than a lot of breathless actors verbally sparring and sniping with each other, and you'll probably have a pretty good time." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Feb 13, 2004
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 21%	Empire (2002)	" The leads make it watchable (plus it's always a hoot to see Denise Richards onscreen in any form)..." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Feb 13, 2004
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 11%	Employee of the Month (2005)	" ...feels a whole lot like watching three hard-working actors who are feverishly trying to extricate one another from an entire planet made of quicksand." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Jan 27, 2004
Fresh 81/100	Fresh 100%	An Evening with Kevin Smith (2002)	" If it’s Kevin Smith’s uncanny knack for witty wordplay and memorable dialogue that made you a fan, odds are you’ll find a whole lot to enjoy in this unique film." — Apollo Guide Posted Jan 24, 2004
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 83%	Elf (2003)	" *The humor ranges from silly-sweet to actively arcane, and the schmaltzy stuff is offset by a hipness that could only come from the guy responsible for Swingers." — eFilmCritic.com* Posted Nov 6, 2003
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 76%	Expiration (2003)	" Heffernan and company have crafted a film both entertaining on its surface - and possessed of a heart and soul underneath." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Oct 16, 2003
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 100%	Easy Riders Raging Bulls (2003)	" A two-hour history lesson on the world's most fascinating subject, and it goes without saying that a flick like this is a Movie Animal's fondest wish." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 19, 2003
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 36%	Equilibrium (2002)	" 50% homage to the classic science fiction touchstones and 50% damn solid in its own right." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 8, 2003
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 71%	The Experiment (2002)	" ...takes its time with what it has to say, but very little of it is uninteresting - and the whole thing is capped off by a third act that will have you squirming in your seat." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 7, 2003
Fresh 4/5	N/A	Evenhand (2003)	" A young cop in a new setting; a cynical veteran is his new partner. Think you've seen this flick already? Nope." — eFilmCritic.com Posted May 14, 2003
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 64%	The Eye (2003)	" Given that the current state of American Horror is usually so watered-down and generic, even a 'pretty good' horror import is reason to rejoice." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Mar 12, 2003
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 15%	Eye See You (2002)	" So we got Ten Little Indians meets Friday the 13th by way of Clean and Sober, filmed on the set of Carpenter’s The Thing and loaded with actors you’re most likely to find on the next inevitable incarnation of The Love Boat." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Feb 25, 2003
Rotten 34/100	N/A	Erotic Survivor 2 (2001)	" *Does anyone working for Seduction Cinema know what the word “erotic” even means?" — Apollo Guide* Posted Feb 21, 2003
Rotten 35/100	N/A	An Erotic Vampire in Paris (2002)	" I’ve long since given up looking for quality entertainment in the wares of Seduction Cinema, and now I judge the films based solely on the quality of the ‘nude content’ and the sexiness of the non-stop lesbian activity." — Apollo Guide Posted Feb 21, 2003
