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 4.5/5	Fresh 66%	The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009)	" If you've seen how imaginative Terry Gilliam can be with "practical" effects, then you'll probably be dazzled by Imaginarium's finest moments." — Cinematical Posted Sep 21, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 77%	The Informant! (2009)	" A "happy medium" between Soderbergh's "star-laden" flicks and his smaller, yes slightly brainier, movies. Obviously that's a good thing." — Cinematical Posted Sep 21, 2009
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 14%	The Informers (2009)	" An ugly, blank slate of a film, one that feels like a rough outline for one of the better Ellis adaptations." — Cinematical Posted Feb 2, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 66%	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	" *You could retitle this flick The Hulk is Bourne, and it would be a perfectly appropriate description -- albeit a really awful pun." — Cinematical* Posted Jun 11, 2008
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 77%	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	" *To expect ANY movie to live up to the Raiders* standard is simply unfair, but Crystal Skull fits very excellently next to both Temple of Doom and Last Crusade.*" — Cinematical* Posted May 19, 2008
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 93%	Iron Man (2008)	" Mr. Downey delivers the best popcorn flick performance since Johnny Depp first played pirate." — Cinematical Posted Apr 29, 2008
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 79%	In a Dream (2009)	" Easily one of the most 'personal' documentaries I've ever had the pleasure to see." — Cinematical Posted Mar 19, 2008
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 4%	In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)	" If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Uwe Boll just spent 126 minutes telling Peter Jackson how thin, talented and gorgeous he is." — Cinematical Posted Jan 11, 2008
Rotten 2.5/5	Fresh 69%	I Am Legend (2007)	" *Before the diseased-yet-oddly superhuman villains start to appear en masse, I Am Legend* works surprisingly well. Then they do.*" — FEARnet* Posted Dec 16, 2007
Rotten 1/5	N/A	In the Spider's Web (2007)	" We're treated to some of the most hilariously sloppy CGI work you've ever seen, followed by (get this) rubber spiders dangling from strings! And not just a few of 'em. They're everywhere!" — FEARnet Posted Nov 29, 2007
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 92%	Inside (2007)	" Powerfully gory, admirably unsettling, bleakly amusing, and at its best moments, the movie is deliciously suspenseful." — Cinematical Posted Sep 13, 2007
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 19%	The Invasion (2007)	" A huge mess of celluloid that, frankly, never should have made it past the "Hey let's do BODY SNATCHERS again!" stage." — FEARnet Posted Aug 26, 2007
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 8%	I Know Who Killed Me (2007)	" *The most ridiculous film of its sort since the arrival of the equally ridiculous Boxing Helena. (Yeah, it's that kind of bad.)" — FEARnet* Posted Jul 29, 2007
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 20%	The Invisible (2007)	" A mixed bag, to be sure, but it's a bit slicker and smarter than most flicks of this type." — FEARnet Posted Apr 30, 2007
Fresh 3/5	N/A	I Drink Your Blood (1971)	" *Before it's all over, I Drink Your Blood* has turned into a decidedly stupider version of Romero's Night of the Living Dead, but the thing whizzes along like a really bad hit of acid.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Nov 20, 2006
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	I, Vampire: Trilogy of Blood ()	" Even if you happen to like the three movies that were cannibalized here, I doubt pretty highly that you'd enjoy these miniature versions." — DVDTalk.com Posted Nov 15, 2006
Fresh 3.5/5	N/A	In Memorium (2005)	" Delivers more satisfying jolts than most of the big-budget horror movies I've seen this year." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 11, 2006
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 0%	I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer (2006)	" I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer is entirely worthy of the dismissive derision that you felt when you first read the title." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jul 10, 2006
Rotten 3/5	Rotten 32%	Imagine Me & You (2006)	" It's a fluffy little concoction that'll capably fill 90 minutes, but it's not destined to become anybody's newest favorite." — DVD Clinic Posted Jun 27, 2006
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	If Only (2004)	" If Only this weren't one of the sappiest, stupidest, silliest, and most vacuously meaningless romantic comedies I've ever had the misfortune to waste 96 minutes of my life upon ... I'd have some nicer things to say." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jun 18, 2006
Fresh 4.5/5	Rotten 45%	The Ice Harvest (2005)	" 90% cynicism / 10% hope, and it's jammed full of funny performances, dark divergences, and a low-key air of existential angst that you simply don't see in many multiplex movies. I love this one." — DVDTalk.com Posted Feb 18, 2006
Fresh 3/5	N/A	I Never Promised You a Rose Garden (1977)	" An autobiographical tale of attempted suicide, horrific schizophrenia, and frequent trips to a rather unpleasant mental hospital." — DVDTalk.com Posted Feb 7, 2006
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 21%	Into the Blue (2005)	" *Reminsicient of nothing more than several wealthy persons' salaried vacation trip, Into the Blue* is an absolutely merciless chore of a movie.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Dec 21, 2005
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 40%	The Island (2005)	" *I may end up being among the minority when all's said and done, but The Island* simply worked for me, and at times it worked supremely well.*" — DVDTalk.com* DVD REVIEW Posted Dec 21, 2005
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 82%	Inside Deep Throat (2005)	" A cool, confident, and colorful documentary." — DVD Clinic DVD REVIEW Posted Oct 6, 2005
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 67%	Isolation (2005)	" A grim, gruesome, and gloriously gross horror flick about mutated cows and the poor saps stuck on an isolated farm with the bloody bovines." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Sep 13, 2005
Fresh 3/5	N/A	Invasion (2005)	" If you just love the Alien Invasion stories, you could certainly do a whole lot worse. In fact, you probably have within the past year alone." — DVDTalk.com Posted Sep 7, 2005
Rotten 2.5/5	N/A	It Started in Naples (1960)	" It's a quaint and pretty old movie, to be sure, but it's also more than a little boring." — DVDTalk.com Posted Aug 16, 2005
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 40%	The Island (2005)	" I don't care what anyone says: A Michael Bay movie that boasts a few thought-provoking ideas is absolutely a step in the right direction." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 21, 2005
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 23%	In My Country (2005)	" Points for trying and all, but this particular chapter of South Africa's history deserves a movie a bit more sincere -- and a lot less corny." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jul 21, 2005
Fresh 3.5/5	N/A	Infection (2004)	" Infection is more interested in getting under your skin than provoking you to jump out of it." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jul 3, 2005
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 20%	I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can (1982)	" I'm Dancing as Fast as I Can hasn't exactly aged all that well. And that's me being kind." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jun 20, 2005
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 35%	Imaginary Heroes (2004)	" A "personal" sort of story that might just hit you like a ton of bricks. Me? Not so much." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jun 3, 2005
Fresh 72/100	Fresh 78%	Ice Age (2002)	" A pleasantly diverting and quite amusing family flick." — Apollo Guide Posted May 13, 2005
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 82%	Inside Deep Throat (2005)	" A grown-up and eminently entertaining reflection of where we were in 1972 - and how one little porno flick caused such an astonishing uproar." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Feb 4, 2005
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 97%	The Incredibles (2004)	" The Incredibles is the finest of Pixar combined with the best parts of Spider-Man, Superman and Batman...plus it's pretty damn funny too." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Nov 5, 2004
Fresh 4.5/5	N/A	The Invisible Man: The Legacy Collection (1933)	" Universal's classic tale of transparent antagonism...and its four unrelated sequels." — Monsters At Play Posted Nov 5, 2004
Rotten 35/100	Rotten 0%	Invasion (1997)	" Feels like a science-fiction concept from 1951 that has been strained through a soap-opera sieve and left to moulder on the counter for six weeks." — Apollo Guide Posted Aug 23, 2004
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 58%	I, Robot (2004)	" I, Robot is a movie destined for fast-forward buttons the world over." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 15, 2004
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	In Hell (2003)	" As long as movies are not required to play theatrically before hitting the DVD shelves, we'll have plenty of new Van Damme flicks to make fun of." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 1, 2004
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	Inspector Gadget 2 (2003)	" *Featuring a truly awful screenplay and more overbaked CGI detritus than you can shake a claw at, IG2* is a loud and garish and oppressively off-putting experience.*" — eFilmCritic.com* Posted May 16, 2004
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 0%	Implicated (1999)	" *Look past a narrative cobbled together from a half-dozen good movies and you're still* stuck with 90+ minutes of some of the worst acting imaginable.*" — eFilmCritic.com* Posted Apr 11, 2004
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 87%	The Italian Job (1969)	" It's the sort of smoothly entertaining and slyly intelligent crowd-pleasing spectacle that will never go out of style." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Mar 31, 2004
Fresh 3.5/5	N/A	IPO (2005)	" First-time writer/director Daniel Gamburg clearly has a canny ear for the way the 'office folk' communicate." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Feb 18, 2004
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 73%	The Italian Job (2003)	" There are a few sequences in the film (one atop a dam, the other a lengthy chase) where I felt like I was watching John McTiernan back when he knew what he was doing." — Daily-Reviews DVD REVIEW Posted Feb 18, 2004
Rotten 67/100	Rotten 36%	I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)	" Often feels more like a perfume commercial than a “horror movie”." — Apollo Guide Posted Jan 24, 2004
Rotten 62/100	Fresh 70%	It (1990)	" Too vanilla, too banal and too earnest to do the source material any justice." — Apollo Guide Posted Oct 29, 2003
Rotten 1/5	N/A	Invitation to Hell (1984)	" *Other than as a time capsule back to a much sillier era - or as something to laugh at incessantly - Invitation to Hell* is every bit as torturous as its title implies.*" — eFilmCritic.com* Posted Oct 22, 2003
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	Infested (2002)	" *Save the stunningly poor FX and the presence of a few vaguely familiar C-list character actors, Infested* offers next to nothing of entertainment value.*" — eFilmCritic.com* Posted Sep 25, 2003
Fresh 3/5	N/A	Insaniac (2001)	" Hardcore horror fans tired of the same old hack & slash may find something to enjoy here, though it’s tough to imagine Average Joe Movie Renter getting a whole lot out of it." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Sep 18, 2003
