	"Young children will be unmoved by the film, but older children will enjoy it, as will adults looking for some mindless fun." -- DVDLaser Posted Jul 16, 2008	Condorman (1981)	25%
	"It is a formula effort, mixing safe thrills and pleasantries, and is fairly harmless entertainment." -- DVDLaser Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Last Flight of Noah's Ark (1980)	40%
	"People can read artistic significance into anything and lots of people have read gobs of it into this, but it is a silly movie with lots of perverse sex and no redeeming values, artistic or otherwise." -- DVDLaser Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Night Porter (1973)	65%
	"Now we don't normally take to the idea that someone should go around murdering critics, since more than one disc producer is after our own head, but the movie is always a treat when it shows up on late night television." -- DVDLaser Posted Jul 1, 2008	Theatre of Blood (1973)	95%
	"It works well as a comedy but one cringes at the thought that it defined, for a while, the social expectations of a generation." -- DVDLaser Posted Jun 25, 2008	Risky Business (1983)	100%
	"t is almost an anti-thriller, but viewers who are willing to steep themselves in the intricacies of Japanese ceremonies and the banal details of evil will find the experience highly rewarding." -- DVDLaser Posted Jun 19, 2008	The Bad Sleep Well (1960)	100%
	" The movie is so fragmented that no real interpretation of the play ever coagulates. As with all of Welles' films, however, there are a number of memorable moments." -- DVDLaser Posted Jun 18, 2008	Macbeth (Restored Version) (1948)	90%
	"A marvelous, very un-stage-like and brisk adaptation that never compromises the spirit of its source." -- DVDLaser Posted Jun 18, 2008	Othello - The Lost Masterpiece (1952)	90%
	"For the most part the film is standard fare, with plot discrepancies countered by the film's atmosphere and star appeal." -- DVDLaser Posted Jun 18, 2008	The Mackintosh Man (1973)	56%
	"Produced, directed and even partially scripted by Newman, the story about a man suffering from a heart condition is hardly exciting or rewarding material." -- DVDLaser Posted Jun 17, 2008	Harry and Son (1983)	22%
	"When a star becomes really successful, the public is inundated with every scrap of celluloid he ever worked on as he learned his craft, and such is the case with this Adam Sandler vehicle." -- DVDLaser Posted May 22, 2008	Going Overboard (1989)	n/a
	"A collection of deliberately unlinked comedy sketches and animated filler, the film is a workable sampler of the group's humor." -- DVDLaser Posted May 14, 2008	And Now for Something Completely Different (1971)	89%
	"Works a little better than the first Power Rangers movie but will not extend its appeal beyond the show's fan base." -- DVDLaser Posted May 14, 2008	Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie (1997)	18%
	"The film celebrates stupidity and would likely have caused an international incident if Canadians weren't so nice, but it essentially lives up to its premise, once in a while coming up with a gag that is halfway funny." -- DVDLaser Posted May 13, 2008	Strange Brew (1983)	70%
	"The film is funnier in concept than it is in demonstration, but it has endured over time and is pleasant, repeatable entertainment." -- DVDLaser Posted May 12, 2008	Francis the Talking Mule (1950)	n/a
	"A cult musical comedy film with a still-growing reputation." -- DVDLaser Posted Apr 1, 2008	The Blues Brothers (1980)	78%
	"Intermittently entertaining and embarrassing." -- DVDLaser Posted Mar 24, 2008	Amazing Grace and Chuck (1987)	29%
	"A wild martial arts feature that combines a prison movie setting with the sort of gore effects one normally finds in a horror film." -- DVDLaser Posted Mar 12, 2008	Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (1991)	80%
	"The film presents a series of utterly charming moments, some magical and some down-to-earth but, considering the setting, equally utopian." -- DVDLaser Posted Mar 10, 2008	Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959)	100%
	"The elaborate production, written and directed by Louis Feuillade, is an epic modern crime thriller, the precursor to many of today's multi-million dollar action films." -- DVDLaser Posted Mar 4, 2008	Les Vampires (1915)	100%
	"One must admire the talents of Melville and Cocteau while watching the film, but the strongest emotions are arch and the biggest plot turns are silly." -- DVDLaser Posted Mar 3, 2008	Les Enfants Terribles (1950)	75%
	"It is the performances, however, that have enabled the movie to retain its vitality." -- DVDLaser Posted Mar 3, 2008	Topkapi (1964)	83%
	"Martin Mull stars and the scenes he appears in are often humorous, but when he is not present, the movie is as bad as they come." -- DVDLaser Posted Feb 27, 2008	Rented Lips (1988)	n/a
	"Robert Flaherty joined forces with Zoltan Korda to produce the terrific adventure film, based upon a Rudyard Kipling tale." -- DVDLaser Posted Feb 26, 2008	Elephant Boy (1937)	100%
	"A captivating murder mystery, and although the viewer finds out fairly early on who the killer is, the mystery of his motive and the suspense of his capture are sufficient to keep one glued to the screen." -- DVDLaser Posted Feb 5, 2008	The List of Adrian Messenger (1963)	69%
	"It is an action film, an engaging one, and covers old ground with a contemporary style which never feels out of place." -- DVDLaser Posted Feb 5, 2008	The Long Riders (1980)	78%
	"The movie is locked into a sixties stylistic approach that can feel dated, but Hoffman�s performance can prevent one from ever tiring of the film." -- DVDLaser Posted Jan 30, 2008	Midnight Cowboy (1969)	90%
	"Ben Kingsley's title performance is amazing, particularly in the way he ages across the five decades which the film depicts." -- DVDLaser Posted Jan 29, 2008	Gandhi (1982)	85%
	"The film runs for 161 minutes and does not have a strongly defined narrative." -- DVDLaser Posted Jan 28, 2008	Out of Africa (1985)	63%
	"The film�s emotions are obvious and blunt, but they get the job done." -- DVDLaser Posted Jan 25, 2008	Brian's Song (1971)	91%
	"Terrific plotting, marvelous music and Toshiro Mifune." -- DVDLaser Posted Jan 22, 2008	Incident at Blood Pass (1970)	n/a
	"It is more of the same, without the same sense of novelty." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 22, 2008	I Am Curious (Blue) (1968)	20%
	"The songs, written by Michel Legrand and Francis Lai, are addictive in the best French pop manner. A few of the dance sequences are spectacular. Only when the scene shifts to a subplot not involving music does the movie get bogged down." -- DVDLaser Posted Jan 15, 2008	Les Uns Et Les Autres (1981)	67%
	"If a viewer accepts Lelouch's approach, the inner strength of the characters is a sufficient replacement for outward heroics, and the period details become intentional artifacts of America's international heritage." -- DVDLaser Posted Jan 15, 2008	Another Man, Another Chance (1977)	80%
	"The film goes nowhere except in circles." -- DVDLaser Posted Dec 20, 2007	Winning (1969)	50%
	"Whether [Edie Sedgwick] is acting or stoned-for-real with a model's instincts propping her up, her performance is wonderful, highly amusing at all the right moments, yet melancholy in a way which is free of self-pity." -- DVDLaser Posted Nov 27, 2007	Ciao! Manhattan (1972)	60%
	"The results made exciting, memorable cinema, but could just as easily have turned into disaster. There seems to be no escaping the darker side of innocence." -- DVDLaser Posted Nov 19, 2007	The Red Balloon (1955)	100%
	"Dylan is the key to liking or disliking the film." -- DVDLaser Posted Nov 9, 2007	Hearts of Fire (1987)	40%
	"The film is a brilliant collision of evil and the mundane, and one of the reasons viewers respond to it so well is that it makes the mundane seem a little sexier in the resulting debris." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 23, 2006	Double Indemnity (1944)	97%
	"A rousing thriller that takes advantage not of the vulnerability of a commercial airplane, but of its confined space" -- Movie City News Posted Jul 21, 2006	Red Eye (2005)	78%
	"the last act is near perfect, and that is the act you come away from the movie remembering." -- Movie City News Posted Jul 21, 2006	Jersey Girl (1993)	n/a
	"The film is not eccentric enough to have a lasting cult appeal, but it is reasonably enjoyable as it unfolds." -- Movie City News Posted Jul 21, 2006	The Butterfly Effect (1995)	n/a
	"A passable supernatural thriller shot in New Orleans shortly before the storm" -- Movie City News Posted Jul 21, 2006	The Skeleton Key (2005)	39%
	"Despite the adulterous start to their relationship, the movie works best as a romance and that is what it is designed to be, with the emotional climax, and best scene, being the event that cements their relationship." -- Movie City News Posted Jul 21, 2006	Walk the Line (2005)	83%
	"one of the most outstanding live action children's films ever conceived" -- Movie City News Posted Jul 21, 2006	Wonderworks - The Chronicles of Narnia - Boxed Set (1988)	n/a
	"Imagine the 'straight A' student who receives, deservedly, a 'B' on his term project and you will capture the quandary surrounding David Lean's 1970 mega-feature" -- Movie City News Posted Jul 21, 2006	Ryan's Daughter (1970)	47%
	"the film still feels very rushed, presenting and then discarding one intriguing fantasy after another, although as compensation, it never drags or gives you time to glance at a watch." -- Movie City News Posted Jul 21, 2006	Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)	89%
	"It delivers the entertainment of a well-made thriller, but reaches for and achieves more, primarily through the editing, using the film as a reflection upon the violent undercurrent of American society, and human nature, without spoiling the rhythm." -- Movie City News Posted Jul 21, 2006	A History of Violence (2005)	87%
	"Domino is a failure because it doesn't entertain well, because its many deliberately unmatching elements never line up, and because ultimately, it doesn't escape Hollywood as much as it is pretending to." -- Movie City News Posted Jul 21, 2006	Domino (1989)	n/a
	"Howard may have replicated the family scenes as accurately as if he'd found film from a camera hidden in the walls of the original Braddock apartment, and yet the movie can't shake the sense that the scenes away from the boxing ring are somehow false" -- Movie City News Posted Jul 21, 2006	Cinderella Man (2005)	80%
