Rotten Just Before Dawn
"Leaden pacing and a serious lack of the scares make this negligible in just about every department."
Rotten Smile Pretty
"Well-intentioned but rather underwhelming with barely-interesting characters, mediocre acting, and writing that doesn't cut nearly as deep as it would like to think."
Rotten The City of the Living Dead
"Another run-of-the-mill zombie flick with neither the ingenuity nor the technical prowess to distinguish itself from dozens of its insipid ilk."
Fresh Imagine That
"No great shakes, to be sure, but it's got plenty of color and bounce with first-rate performances across the board. Murphy's best work in ages."
Rotten Keoma
"Disjointed and clunky, it's the opposite of Lucio Fulci's underrated Italian western Four of the Apocalypse that was oodles more confident and affecting."

Scott Weinberg
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.
