BAD SANTA

BALLS OF FURY
Release: Aug 07 - Review: 11 Sep 08
Kung Fu Ping Pong Panda.
Walking that fine comedy line just above Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell, BALLS OF FURY is so wilfully asinine it succeeds...

BANGKOK DANGEROUS
Release: Nov 99 - Review: 18 Feb 10
I was a Teenage Hitman.
...his only education was the snarling underbelly of Thailand: brutal mobs, dirty dance clubs, seedy streets, bashings, blood and bullets. And he is deaf and mute. And you thought YOUR teen years were screwed up.

BANGKOK DANGEROUS 2008
Release: Sep 08 - Review: 14 Feb 10
Bangkok Mildly Threatening.
...not as compelling due to Cage's powerful hitman not having as much of a crutch to overcome as 1999's deaf teenager, but otherwise it is a well-constructed piece of second hand trashiness.

 | BARB
WIRE
Release: May 96 - Review: 21 Apr 06
Livin'
Large on Marketable Melons.
If
you've seen CASABLANCA, you don't want to watch this movie. It will bring
the pain - knowing that resting on that classic movie's shoulders, are this movie's
breasts.

 | BATMAN
Release: Jun 89 - Review: 12 May 07
Part Noir, Part
Comicbook, All Knight.

 Release: Jun 95 - Review: 25 Mar 10 
From Dark Knight to Boogie Knight.
In this third installment of the Modern Batman Legacy, BATMAN FOREVER, Val Kilmer is the fruit bat whom we cannot be sure is hero - or victim (of Schumacher).

| | BATMAN
AND ROBIN
Release: Jun 1997 - Review: 10 Sep 05
The Battiest of them all.
And in camping it up, Schumacher
seemed oblivious on where to draw the line: primary colors shriek in anguish and
gobos coruscate like an LSD afternoon delight...

| BATMAN
BEGINS
 Release: Jun 05 - Review: 2 Aug 05
Dark Knight Reconstructionist
Theory.
...if there was
one modern legend that needed fixin', it was the laughable vamp and clamorous
camp of Gotham's fruity caped crusader, the Bat Man. As Michael Caine might opine,
"About bloody time!"

BE KIND REWIND
Release: Feb 08 - Review: 27 Aug 08
Be Kind - Put this movie out of its misery.
This is one of those films where you prime yourself to laugh because you love the comedians involved, and then that fake smile kinda freezes on your face after the first few false no-jokes.

| THE
BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS
Release: 1953 - Review: 28 Jul 05
There Were Giants
In Those Days - and Harryhausen was the largest.
...a
level of pseudo-realism attained that magnificently satisfied those Pre-CGI audiences
and allows even a post-EPISODE-III audience to appreciate at least the towering
aspirations...

BEDTIME STORIES
Release: Dec 08 - Review: 26 Jun 09
Wish it into the Cornfield.
Idiotic and contradictory messages fly at us like fart jokes in a movie bankrupt of ideas, which BEDTIME STORIES is. Without the fart jokes.

BEERFEST
 Release: Aug 06 - Review: 25 Mar 09
Roaring, Rogering, Gorging and Puking... sign me up.
...a
drunken, disorderly, swelling knob of a film, as quirkingly funny as it is quakingly stupid, chock full of pissing, puking, belching, swilling, swearing, skulling, vomiting and giant jugs. Of beer.

BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD
Release: Sep 07 - Review: 27 Jan 09
Doing the business on the family business.
Walking a fine line between pulp noir and terrifying reality, BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD succeeds on its tortured performances...

JOHN MALKOVICH
Release: Sep 99 - Review: 17 Jun 06
The Importance
Of Being Malkovich.
For originality alone,
it deserves the highest accolades. Like its eponymous subject matter, it is inexplicable
and indefinable.

BEOWULF
Release: Nov 07 - Review: 6 Jan 08
So Close... Yet So Beowulf.
... to tackle another incarnation one needs to bring something pretty extraordinary to the table. And Robert Zemeckis’s BEOWULF is definitely extraordinary – in one sense. And definitely mediocre in all others…

BIG CHILL
Release: Sep 1983 - Review: 6 Nov 05
Nostalgia

A chick-flick clothed in

characters, with their yuppie elitism and consumerist élan...

DADDY
 Release:

Daddy Stupidest.
At its worst, it stoops to asinine scripting and punchlining gays

BIG FAN

Drama is Easy, Comedy is Hard.
I'm no fan of Patton Oswalt as a comedian. But what a remarkable dramatic actor!

BILLY MADISON
 Release: Feb 95 - Review: 21 Jul 07
For Moron Eyes Only.
...Adam Sandler, playing the eponymous Billy Madison with every ounce of talent the christian god forgot to give him. A fine businessman he is; a writer and comedian he's not.

THE BIRTH OF A NATION
 Release: Mar 1915 - Review: 16 Feb 10 
The Bitch Of A Nation.
Nearly a century after its release (1915) it stands today on the horns of a grand dichotomy: that of being a pioneering film - and a racist piece of shit.

 | BLACK
SNAKE MOAN
Release: Mar 07 - Review: 31 Mar 07
Soft-Porn Groan.
If you really want a porno, watch a porno. Yet pornography (albeit
heavily diluted) is this film's only selling point, for when Ricci is offscreen,
not showing off her rounded ta-tas and tight-pantied pubis, we're not really interested
in much else.

How much gayer can BLADES OF GLORY possibly be? Answer: None more gay.

 | BLOOD
DIAMOND
Release: Dec 06 - Review: 24 Jan 07
A Rough in the
Diamond.
Though it is against the horrors perpetrated
by the rebels and their leveraging of "blood diamonds," the movie recreates
their atrocities so well that it will rake in millions on the depiction of those
atrocities.

Pants on Fire!
Both Leo's ruthless inside man and Crowe's stolid bureaucrat would not be sellable had not the Ku Bush Klan already "sold" the necessity of their fake war. And in the acceptance of the war, the acceptance of the despicable things these characters do...

Scapegoat for a far more evil government.
George W. Bush’s and Dick Cheney’s Amerika offers absolutely zero moral high ground to crow about OTHER people selling secrets to enemies.

THE BREAKFAST CLUB
Release: Feb 85 - Review: 4 Jan 09
The Neo Maxi Zoom Dweeby of Teen Agnst.
THE BREAKFAST CLUB is rare in the pantheon of "teen comedies" because it is dialog driven. It's TWELVE ANGRY MEN in detention with hormones.

BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE
Release: May 07 - Review: 23 May 08
Bury the Truth at Wounded Knee.
Though it is supposedly a tribute to the indomitable spirit of the Native Americans, it is yet another White-Perspective slur-fest that dishonors that wild race with every bigoted frame.
