Gangster No. 1 (2002) |
". . .captures the kinetic quality of the 60s with jump-action pacing, groovy camera angles and the occasional split screen treatment that never crosses the line into camp." |

George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008) |
"Romero, with an unerring sense of the puckish in the macabre, teases out the absurdity of people dealing with a twist to their lives for which there is no paradigm, and mines it for all it's worth" |

Tomato 4/5 |
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005) |
"the film works best on that deliciously, subversively subliminal level, twisting its metaphor of exploited underclasses" |

Gigli (2003) |
"transcends merely bad, merely tedious, merely irksome, and plummets into that very special category . . .that so tries and tortures its audience that it no longer fears death" |
Andrea Chase |
Splat 2/5 |
A Girl Cut in Two (2008) |
"It's a very long way to go for a punch line, but Claude Chabrol fearlessly meanders along for the two hours it takes him to get there" |

A Good Year (2006) |
"the best way to sum up [Crowe] is shockingly lacking in anything resembling charm. There is not even a charismatic sort of anti-charm at work here." |

The Gospel of John (2003) |
"as for the text itself that has the Jews egging Pilate on, well, it is what it is. And that would be less than philo-semetic." |

Grindhouse (2007) |
"Both gentlemen have a palpable affection for the kitsch factor at work here, the energy of working on the edge with a low budget, and for the rush of seeing something so bad that it's good, but only one of them can pull off the homage" |
