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	Fresh 80%	Loved Ones (2009)	" One of the coolest Aussie offerings of the past several years. Horror-wise, anyway." — FEARnet Posted Sep 21, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	N/A	Laid To Rest (2009)	" Earns a comfortable spot next to Hatchet, Cold Prey, and Behind the Mask as a basic but sincere "love letter" to the best of the '80s horror flicks" — FEARnet Posted Apr 6, 2009
Fresh 4.5/5	Rotten 42%	The Last House on the Left (2009)	" A fascinating and confrontational horror film that deals with terrors a lot more chilling than some dude swinging a machete." — FEARnet Posted Mar 12, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 17%	The Lodger (2009)	" *Ready-made for 3am HBO viewing, The Lodger* is an unnecessary remake of a story that's already been covered more than enough times, thanks.*" — FEARnet* Posted Feb 17, 2009
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 0%	Lost Boys - The Tribe (2008)	" Precisely the cheap-end, cash-grab non-movie I expected it to be. This is insultingly bad." — FEARnet Posted Jul 31, 2008
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 98%	Let the Right One In (2008)	" *Please be sure to keep an eyeball out for this one, horror fans. Let the Right One In* is very smart, very sweet, very sick, and very special indeed.*" — Cinematical* Posted May 7, 2008
Rotten 2/5	N/A	Lake Placid 2 (2007)	" Follow the basic "killer croc" template if you must, fellas, but jeez, would it kill you to try something even remotely different?" — FEARnet Posted Jan 29, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 17%	The Last Legion (2007)	" While it's almost certainly guaranteed to be a box office bomb, I'm suspecting this goofy little adventure will earn a few bemused fans once it hits DVD." — Cinematical Posted Aug 26, 2007
Fresh 4/5	N/A	Legends of the Silver Screen: A&E Biography ()	" Logically, if you're a huge fan of the actors covered in these episodes then you'll find a lot to enjoy in this box set." — DVDTalk.com Posted May 28, 2007
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 90%	The Living and the Dead (2006)	" A devious and admirably twisted little mind-bender of a genre flick." — Cinematical Posted Apr 20, 2007
Rotten 2.5/5	N/A	Loving Annabelle (2006)	" If you're looking for a bare-bones story about girl-on-woman love that goes precisely where you're expecting it to go, you could do worse." — DVD Clinic Posted Feb 9, 2007
Rotten 2/5	N/A	Living Death (2006)	" Living Death markets itself like a Saw wannabe, and it does get a little nasty in its final frames, but for the most part the flick is a very familiar tale of meanness, adultery, and revenge." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jan 13, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 59%	Labyrinth (1986)	" A long and colorful quest filled with crazy critters and creative set design." — DVD Clinic Posted Nov 15, 2006
Fresh 4/5	N/A	Lie Still (2005)	" A confident and compelling little ghost story." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Oct 2, 2006
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 94%	The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)	" *Double-dip it may be, but it'd take 30 years and 40 re-releases before I could find something nasty to say about ROTK." — DVDTalk.com* DVD REVIEW Posted Sep 20, 2006
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 96%	The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)	" If you don't already own the (Extended Edition) DVDs, this Limited Edition comes highly recommended." — DVDTalk.com DVD REVIEW Posted Sep 20, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 26%	The Lost City (2006)	" It's by no means a flawless film, but it's a meaty one, and if you're a big fan of Andy Garcia, I'd definitely recommend it. (Plus, Bill Murray's in there.)" — DVD Clinic Posted Aug 30, 2006
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 17%	Ladybugs (1992)	" The flick feels like the pilot episode for a sitcom that never even came close to getting picked up for a full season." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jul 20, 2006
Fresh 4/5	N/A	Lurking in Suburbia (2004)	" A sly, personal, and low-key indie comedy that manages to become more accessible and likable the longer it goes on." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jun 23, 2006
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 44%	Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure (2001)	" Sadly, and this annoys me to no end, 94% of the Disney sequels are just rotten. But that won't stop the studio from re-releasing the things." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jun 17, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 100%	LOL (2006)	" LOL makes a pretty solid case that, despite our being able to reach anybody at any time, most of us still lack the ability to really 'reach' anyone at all." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Mar 21, 2006
Fresh 3.5/5	N/A	The Last Western (2006)	" *Quiet, well-shot, and enjoyably melancholy, The Last Western* is a simple little story about a brief chapter in the history of the American Western.*" — eFilmCritic.com* Posted Mar 10, 2006
Rotten 2/5	N/A	Love 101 (2000)	" *This story's been covered a hundred times before; Love 101* offers very few viable reasons to sit through it yet again.*" — DVDTalk.com* DVD REVIEW Posted Feb 1, 2006
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 25%	The Legend of Zorro (2005)	" Nope, it's not as good as the first one. But considering how chintzy and auto-piloty most sequels are these days, I'll take what I can get." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jan 15, 2006
Rotten 1/5	N/A	Loose Screws (1985)	" Nowadays you can see bare knockers by pushing three random buttons on your keyboard, and you don't have to sit through 78 minutes of pitiful comedy to get to 'em." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jan 13, 2006
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	Love Thy Neighbor (2002)	" The sort of movie that's probably pretty entertaining to the people who made it, but are you one of those people? Me neither." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jan 7, 2006
Rotten 2/5	N/A	Last Resort (1986)	" The thing looks like it was shot in six days for seven dollars." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jan 7, 2006
Rotten 2/5	N/A	Left Behind - World at War (2005)	" I don't remember much of my New Testament, but someone might have to remind me what chapter it is where the president breaks into a top-secret bio-lab and uncovers Satan's Death-Bible gambit." — DVDTalk.com Posted Dec 19, 2005
Rotten 2/5	N/A	Left Behind II: Tribulation Force (2002)	" *I mean no disrespect to the religious folks, but heck, movies like these just make Christianity seem more* weird.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Dec 19, 2005
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 12%	Left Behind - The Movie (2001)	" *These folks get eternity in heaven, while I'm stuck here watching the Left Behind* trilogy. I'm calling my rabbi.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Dec 19, 2005
Rotten 2.5/5	N/A	Love at Stake (1988)	" Might wring a few chuckles out of you, but certainly not much more than a few." — DVDTalk.com Posted Nov 20, 2005
Fresh 3.5/5	N/A	The Lenny Bruce Performance Film (1965)	" *Worthwhile mainly as a historical piece for the old-school Lenny Bruce buffs, the 60-minute Performance Film* is infinitely more heartbreaking than it is funny.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Nov 3, 2005
Rotten 2.5/5	N/A	Looney Tunes - Movie Collection: Vol. 3 (2005)	" The first movie at least offers the shorts in their original form; the other flick ... terrible stuff across the board." — DVDTalk.com Posted Nov 2, 2005
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 55%	Lords of Dogtown (2005)	" The flick's watchable enough, but if you want an exhilarating look back at the exact same folks, I'd just stick with the documentary version." — DVD Clinic DVD REVIEW Posted Oct 18, 2005
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 73%	The Lady in White (1988)	" The sort of spooky flick you can watch in the dark with your pre-teen-ish progeny and not have to worry about the sex, smut, or splatter." — DVDTalk.com Posted Sep 19, 2005
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 75%	L'Enfer (2005)	" A multi-layered tale that's as compelling on a surface level as it is laden with food-for-thought underneath." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Sep 12, 2005
Rotten 2.5/5	N/A	The Longest Drive (1976)	" A mid-70s curiosity piece with lots of cows, gunfights, and a young Kurt Russell in silly costumes. " — DVDTalk.com Posted Sep 4, 2005
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 40%	A Lot Like Love (2005)	" *While not as aggressively mindless as many of its ilk, flick suffers from simple fatigue, as in: We're tired* of seeing the exact same love story over and over.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Sep 4, 2005
Fresh 3.5/5	N/A	Life As We Know It ()	" The cast is charming and the presentation is unquestionably slick, but there's only so much talk of "doing it" one can take before you just wish "it" would get "done" already." — DVDTalk.com Posted Sep 2, 2005
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 80%	Layer Cake (2005)	" Fun stuff indeed, even if you might need the subtitles to help decipher all the Britspeak." — DVD Clinic Posted Aug 23, 2005
Rotten 2.5/5	N/A	The Locals (2003)	" Half a "kids gets lost in the woods" stalker-thriller and half a fairly amorphous "haunted patch of land" concept borrowed from an old Twilight Zone episode." — DVDTalk.com Posted Aug 22, 2005
Rotten 2.5/5	N/A	The Lightship (1986)	" Much of the narrative is airy at best -- deadly dull at worst." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jun 20, 2005
Rotten 2.5/5	N/A	Lifeguard (1976)	" Lifeguard is worthy of a weekend rental -- but only if you're actually old enough to look back on 1976 and chuckle knowingly." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jun 11, 2005
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 55%	Lords of Dogtown (2005)	" *The Lords* aren't all that compelling, but their exploits are really cool to watch.*" — eFilmCritic.com* Posted Jun 3, 2005
Rotten 2.5/5	N/A	Last Stand at Saber River (1996)	" It's not an awful TV flick in any particular way, but there are so many better Westerns you could be watching instead." — DVDTalk.com Posted May 28, 2005
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 31%	The Longest Yard (2005)	" Yeah, who needs talented actors like Burt Reynolds, Bill Fichtner, and James Cromwell when you can just hit someone in the crotch for 105 minutes?" — eFilmCritic.com Posted May 26, 2005
Fresh 4.5/5	Rotten 52%	The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004)	" *Expect the absurd, the bizarre, the sweet, and the occasionally surreal, and you'll probably have a darn good time with The Life Aquatic." — DVD Clinic* Posted May 25, 2005
Rotten 2.5/5	Fresh 60%	The Last Shot (2004)	" *It's got some really solid actors and even a fairly amusing premise ... so where are all the laughs?" — DVD Clinic* Posted May 25, 2005
Rotten 1/5	N/A	The Las Vegas Serial Killer (1986)	" Yes, I'm well aware that Steckler's filmography is considered a joke the world over, but there's just no excuse for movies this iredeemably worthless." — DVDTalk.com Posted May 14, 2005
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 9%	Leonard Pt. 6 (1987)	" Movies this bad should be handled with Teflon gloves and a pair of tongs." — DVDTalk.com Posted May 3, 2005
