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."

Jay Antani
Well, I like long walks and poetry and watching sunsets. No, seriously, I do like those things on occasion, but, generally, I like movies, discovering cool new stuff to read and music to listen to, hanging out with fun, stimulating, intelligent, open-minded humans (and cats). Philosophically, I like to think of myself as a work-in-progress. More
