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

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.

Fresh 3/5	Rotten 20%	The New Daughter (2009)	" Feels a bit like a made-for-cable thriller that borrows liberally from similar flicks, but is still perfectly watchable on a dull Wednesday night." — FEARnet Posted Dec 22, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 73%	Night of the Creeps (1986)	" Scattered across the whole of Night of the Creeps is horror-nerd nirvana." — FEARnet Posted Nov 16, 2009

Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 83%	A Necessary Death (2008)	" A thoroughly engrossing little film that's also quite slyly entertaining, despite its rather unsavory subject matter." — FEARnet Posted Mar 19, 2008
Rotten 2.5/5	N/A	Nightmare Detective (2006)	" *An Asian combination platter of Dreamscape, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and just about every technology-obsessed J-horror flick you can think of." — FEARnet* Posted Feb 28, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 31%	National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007)	" More than content to simply toss the same exact formula into the microwave and deliver its lukewarm cinematic leftovers to an always-hungry audience." — Cinematical Posted Dec 21, 2007
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 42%	The Ninth Gate (1999)	" Sometimes dry, sometimes wacky, but surprisingly compelling throughout." — DVDTalk.com Posted May 13, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 29%	Next (2007)	" Straddles a fence between adequately clever and surprisingly stupid ... but most of it is still fun anyway." — FEARnet Posted Apr 27, 2007
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 9%	Norbit (2007)	" *A few more movies like Norbit* and Eddie Murphy won't have a fanbase to kick around anymore.*" — eFilmCritic.com* Posted Feb 9, 2007
Rotten 2.5/5	N/A	Night Skies (2006)	" *Despite its small handful of quality components, Night Skies* is a pretty standard affair.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Jan 6, 2007
Fresh 4/5	N/A	NHL Philadelphia Flyers Greatest Games Set (2006)	" No frills, no extras, just one classic hockey game per disc." — DVDTalk.com Posted Dec 26, 2006
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 19%	National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002)	" I know it's harder to write good jokes than it is rotten ones, but based on what's displayed here, it doesn't seem like the effort was even made." — DVDTalk.com Posted Dec 2, 2006
Fresh 3.5/5	N/A	The Northville Cemetery Massacre (1976)	" Some of it is unintentionally amusing; some if it's pretty smart and shocking." — DVDTalk.com Posted Nov 18, 2006
Fresh 3/5	N/A	Nails (2006)	" *Capably held my interest for its scant running time, I'd be hard-pressed to tell what I think the thing is about." — DVDTalk.com* Posted Nov 15, 2006
Fresh 3.5/5	N/A	Nightmares & Dreamscapes Collection ()	" While N&D certainly does have its rough spots, I'm thinking it's just good enough to warrant the three-disc Netflix rental, provided you're a big fan of Stephen King." — DVD Clinic Posted Nov 15, 2006
Fresh 4/5	N/A	Nip/Tuck: The Complete Third Season (2005)	" *Still one of the most exciting and insightful pieces of television out there ... especially now that Six Feet Under* has gone out of business.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Aug 13, 2006
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 39%	Nacho Libre (2006)	" Film Jack Black doing anything for 80 minutes and you're bound to wring a few yuks from the footage, but the chuckles delivered here are distressingly few and far between." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 15, 2006
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	Naina (2005)	" ...about as scary as a soap commercial." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jun 10, 2006
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 21%	Navy Seals (1990)	" Not entirely bereft of entertainment value, even if most of it comes in the "unintentional" variety." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jun 2, 2006
Rotten 2/5	N/A	Nate and Hayes (1983)	" The movie shoots for light-hearted adventure but sinks like a lead anchor." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jun 2, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 75%	Nine Lives (2005)	" It's as if we're randomly eavesdropping on the private concerns of one particular neighborhood ... a neighborhood that sure has its fair share of heartache." — DVD Clinic Posted Mar 28, 2006
Fresh 4.5/5	Rotten 50%	Nobelity (2006)	" My advice would be to find a copy of this fantastic documentary, settle down for an 80-minute piece of enlightenment, and then maybe use its lessons to help make the world a better place." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Feb 28, 2006
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 90%	Network (1976)	" *Rare is the social satire that rings as true as Network* does, and the film is even more topical today than it was thirty years ago.*" — DVD Clinic* Posted Feb 28, 2006
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	The New Kids (1985)	" The protagonists are paper-thin caricatures; the villains are ridiculously, stupidly, evil; the plot is dirt-dry and predictable; and the hairstyles are just plain nutty." — DVDTalk.com Posted Sep 27, 2005
Fresh 3.5/5	N/A	NFL Philadelphia Eagles NFC Champions ()	" But even with the Eagles on the losing side of the Super Bowl equation, this season gave the fans a whole LOT to cheer about." — DVDTalk.com Posted Sep 23, 2005
Fresh 5/5	Rotten 55%	The Notorious Bettie Page (2006)	" Tells the fascinating tale of a world-renowned sex-kitten, and it does so with copious doses of heart, wit, beauty, and a palpable sense of respect." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Sep 15, 2005
Fresh 4.5/5	N/A	Nip/Tuck: The Complete Second Season (2004)	" I still say Season 1's better, but by this point I'm so invested in the tone, the humor, and the characters -- it would take a lot to knock me off the bandwagon now." — DVDTalk.com Posted Aug 20, 2005
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 79%	New Jack City (1991)	" *It's basically Scarface* with a hip-hop mentality, but it's also a slickly entertaining and consistently engaging crime thriller.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Aug 5, 2005
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 28%	Not Another Teen Movie (2001)	" I can happily label this raunchy little spoof a hardcore "guilty pleasure" of the silliest kind." — DVDTalk.com DVD REVIEW Posted Jul 31, 2005
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 40%	Nadine (1987)	" An innocuous little wisp of a romantic comedy, spiced up with some chases, escapes, and even a few gunfights." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jul 3, 2005
Fresh 4/5	N/A	NBA Dynasty Series: The Philadelphia 76ers ()	" This 6-disc retrospective of all things Sixers-related should prove to be a veritable gold mine of basketball bliss." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jun 4, 2005
Fresh 3.5/5	N/A	NFL's Football Follies Collection Gift Set ()	" *NFL Films has been producing the Football Follies* collections since way back in 1968, and this new 2-disc DVD set delivers some of the coolest compilations.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted May 13, 2005
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 43%	National Treasure (2004)	" *After a second visit, I still don't consider it a movie worth recommending. But hey, I liked Sahara, so what do I know?" — DVD Clinic* DVD REVIEW Posted May 12, 2005
Fresh 4.5/5	Rotten 58%	Never Been Thawed (2006)	" Never Been Thawed is a fantastic little mockumentary, and a movie it was an absolute joy to discover." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Apr 11, 2005
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 0%	National Lampoon's Gold Diggers (2004)	" Truly this is one of the most off-putting, unpleasant and earth-shatteringly unfunny "comedies" I've ever seen." — DVD Clinic Posted Mar 29, 2005
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 43%	National Treasure (2004)	" Safe, simplistic and stylistically inert film fodder meant only for the least discerning multiplex zombies." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Nov 19, 2004
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 71%	Napoleon Dynamite (2004)	" *There's a depth of character and droll humor in Napoleon Dynamite* that recalls a dash of the Coens and a pinch of Wes Anderson.*" — eFilmCritic.com* Posted May 17, 2004
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 89%	Nobody's Fool (1994)	" Nobody's Fool offers a hell of a lot more than just Paul Newman at his very best, although that alone would make the flick worthy of your attention." — eFilmCritic.com Posted May 10, 2004
N/A	Rotten 52%	Natural Born Killers (1994)	" Quentin T. on DVD: Movie Fan Bliss" — eFilmCritic.com ESSAY Posted Nov 3, 2003
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	Night Scream (1997)	" A wholly forgettable little TV flick - one that may serve its purpose should it pop up on cable one night - but certainly nothing worthy of actual money." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Oct 21, 2003
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 12%	National Security (2003)	" My mouth slowly widened, until I realized that I was indeed illustrating what "jaw-droppingly bad" truly means." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Jan 29, 2003
Rotten 2/5	N/A	The Night Evelyn Came out of the Grave (1971)	" *It’s tough to knock a movie entitled The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave* - but the dreary pacing, unconvincing performances and meandering narrative help make things a bit easier.*" — eFilmCritic.com* Posted Dec 5, 2002
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	Night Hunter (1995)	" *Sure, calling a film “better than Bloodfist 8” is damning with faint praise, but fans of genre-melding B-grade kickboxing flicks may find a little something to enjoy." — eFilmCritic.com* Posted Nov 29, 2002
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 0%	Nobody's Baby (2002)	" If you like your movies described as “quirky” and “kinda weird”, here’s a not-awful dark comedy that at the very least, offers one enjoyably bizarre cast." — DVD Clinic Posted Sep 17, 2002
Rotten 2/5	N/A	No Contest (1995)	" No Contest is proof positive that not only is it completely fine to blatantly rip off a movie, but the copycats need not even TRY to hide their plagiarism." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Sep 4, 2002
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 19%	National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002)	" *What's next? The Porky's Revenge: Ultimate Edition?" — DVD Clinic* DVD REVIEW Posted Aug 27, 2002
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 7%	The New Guy (2002)	" Nothing more than four or five mild chuckles surrounded by 86 minutes of overly-familiar and poorly-constructed comedy." — DVD Clinic Posted Aug 16, 2002
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 29%	No Such Thing (2002)	" *Laced with liberal doses of dark humor, gorgeous exterior photography, and a stable-full of solid performances, No Such Thing* is a fascinating little tale.*" — DVD Clinic* Posted Jul 30, 2002
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 0%	New Port South (2001)	" *If the poster for New Port South* had any truth to it, it would read "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing".*" — eFilmCritic.com* Posted Jul 25, 2002
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 0%	National Lampoon's Movie Madness (1981)	" Leave this one as history has intended: unknown, forgotten, and detested by the unfortunate few who’ve actually seen it." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 8, 2002
