Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) - Rated 04 Jul 2009
"Michael Bay is a terrible human being who hates you."
Into the Wild (2007) - Rated 22 Sep 2007
"Fairly disappointing hagiography of a contradiction of a young man, the brave, brash, and unprepared Chris McCandless. Beautiful nature photography obscures the fact that this turned the book's wily, unpredictable protagonist into some profound hippie bastard."
Wild Zero (2000) - Rated 22 Sep 2007
"Surprisingly fun and acerbic zombie rock comedy, with lots of great music and a mind-melting set of plot twists. The DVD drinking game bumps this up to 100."
Eastern Promises (2007) - Rated 22 Sep 2007
"Unerrving crime saga with a beguiling structure that reveals more upon a second glance."
Playtime (1967) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
"Wonderfully elegant, timeless dadaist comedy, with impeccable mis-en-scene, detailing the futile comedy of regular life. Let it wash over you."
Little Man (2006) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
"Leagues better than "White Chicks". Otherwise, a litmus test."
Fata Morgana (1971) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
"Gorgeous hagiagraphy of a time that doesn't exist. Herzog the humanist."

A treastie on drug addiction but also effectively denouncing the dehumanizing involved in the current war on terror, its also a bouncy, often hilarious tale of a man torn apart by outlandish bueracracy and a social pecking order."
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
"Typically ho-hum summer blockbuster, not dumb enough to dislike, and not complex or thematically rewarding enough to really enjoy. You'll remember each of the action setpieces- you won't remember, however, how they end and connect to the next dialogue scene. Spectacular special effects."
Superman Returns (2006) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
"As affecting and thematically resonant as any superhero film has been. Granted, there are minor transgressions- his flightus interruptus to Krypton remains clouded in pointless mystery, left as more of a plot contrivance than actual significant story point. Still, Bryan Singer makes up for it with the first ever auteur superhero film, where loneliness and isolation take precedence over whiz-bang special effects. And finally, the previously-unrealized potential of the Supes-Lex dichotomy makes"
