2.5/4
 
"As a champion for the beautiful and the strange, I'll take bottom-shelf Korine over just about anything else currently playing in theaters." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Apr 28, 2008
 
Mister Lonely (2008)48%
/
 
"We still await the definitive DVD release of Lost Highway, a film crying out for rediscovery." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Apr 1, 2008
 
Lost Highway (1997)53%
/
3.5/4
 
"It's pensive male anxiety, and for some cultural reason it's easier for audiences to accept female hysteria than the insecurities of men." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Apr 1, 2008
 
Lost Highway (1997)53%

"See the Baron dance with Venus! See a man outrun a speeding bullet! See the beautiful, mad fiasco that is The Adventures of Baron Munchausen%u2014see it if you dare!" -- Slant Magazine
Posted Mar 31, 2008
 
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)85%
/
2.5/4
 
"Making your way through the film is like eating an entire beautifully sculpted wedding cake." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Mar 31, 2008
 
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)85%
/
2.5/4
 
"Alternately terse and elegiac, Shotgun Stories works best when it observes the lives of its main characters, three lower-class brothers from southeast Arkansas." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Mar 23, 2008
 
Shotgun Stories (2007)87%
/
2/4
 
"Brisk, peppy, light on its feet, and trying awfully hard to be reminiscent of a fast-talking Depression-era rags-to-riches comedy, the film can be best described as inoffensive." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Mar 3, 2008
 
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)76%
/
1/4
 
"It's mind-numbingly tedious, perhaps because the rhythm, the plot, even the seemingly indestructible veteran secret service agent Barnes seem lifted wholesale from any random episode of 24." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Feb 19, 2008
 
Vantage Point (2008)37%
/
1/4
 
"The lazy regard for David's moral crisis, or lack thereof, is pitiful." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Feb 13, 2008
 
Jumper (2008)16%
/
 
"One of the greatest and most representative movies of the 1980s is still able to ironically laugh at the savagery and stupidity happening in our world right now." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Feb 13, 2008
 
Walker (1987)40%
/
4/4
 
"Walker is the dark, neurotic flipside of Repo Man, where the antiheroic title character is not interested in any form of individual self-expression other than a single-minded pursuit of fame and glory." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Feb 13, 2008
 
Walker (1987)40%
/
3/4
 
"Chicago 10 is a reminder of a time when the counter-culture was out on the street making noise--a history lesson so removed from our present political climate it feels almost like science fiction." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Feb 11, 2008
 
Chicago 10 (2008)77%
/
3/4
 
"Some filmmakers do their best work when they don't have much money and their back is against the wall." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Feb 6, 2008
 
George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)60%
/
 
"Don't watch the trailer on the extras, because like so many of these low-budget shockers it shows all the best parts in advance, so why bother watching the rest? Then again, maybe that's not such a bad idea." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Feb 4, 2008
 
Tragic Ceremony (1972)n/a
/
1.5/4
 
"Tragic Ceremony isn't scary enough to induce terror, unintentionally funny enough for camp, or bizarre enough for mad surrealism." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Feb 4, 2008
 
Tragic Ceremony (1972)n/a

"Ricco the Mean Machine is a throwback to when men could smack women around if they talked back too loud. In other words, it has a broad appeal to cultural anthropologists, ironic hipsters, bad movie buffs, and chauvinist pigs." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Jan 30, 2008
 
Ricco the Machine (1973)n/a
/
2/4
 
"If you're feeling nostalgic for some 1970s Euro-sleaze, Ricco the Mean Machine is a guilty pleasure for stoners eager to revisit the land of shag carpeting, bellbottoms, and free love." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Jan 30, 2008
 
Ricco the Machine (1973)n/a
/
3/4
 
"None of Greenaway's films take place in anything resembling naturalism or realism, and they don't feel modern. They're like archaic storybook adaptations of Jacobean plays illustrated by Vermeer." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Jan 22, 2008
 
A Zed and Two Noughts (1985)78%
/
 
"Greenaway creates his thesis over the decaying corpses of animals, which doesn't inspire a middle-of-the-road kind of viewer response." -- Slant Magazine

The Freethinker (1994)n/a
/
2.5/4
 
"Even if it's good for you, it feels like you're taking medicine." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Jan 4, 2008
 
The Freethinker (1994)n/a
/
 
"Unflinching, uncompromising, and finally available in an uncensored version in America, this is one of the dark hidden gems of 1970s Euro horror." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Nov 27, 2007
 
Who Can Kill a Child? (1976)n/a

"Eyes Wide Shut merits reevaluation and reappraisal." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Nov 19, 2007
 
Eyes Wide Shut (1999)78%
/
4/4
 
"Misunderstood as a psychosexual thriller, Stanley Kubrick's final film is actually more of an acidic comedy about how Tom Cruise fails to get laid." -- Slant Magazine
Posted Nov 19, 2007
 
Eyes Wide Shut (1999)78%

"The fiercely ironic A Clockwork Orange has held up over time as a provocative comic horror show." -- Slant Magazine

The Two Jakes (1990)64%

4/4
 
"Whether taken as a historical drama or a horror film, The Devil is unabashedly a parable about misappropriated anger against the forces of evil." -- Slant Magazine

The Devil (1972)n/a
/
 
"This respectable piece of 1980s splatter cinema gets a classy DVD treatment." -- Slant Magazine

3/4
 
"Though hampered by bad distribution deals and multiple title changes, word of mouth helped Spider Baby to connect with fans of schlock cinema." -- Slant Magazine

"Here's a bit of saucy punk dialogue that sums up the movie. Boy: "Hey Casey, do you like sex with death?" Girl: "Yeah, so **** off and die."" -- Slant Magazine
Posted Sep 27, 2007
 
Return of the Living Dead (1985)88%
