"It's basically a war, with arguing, strategy sessions and long, boring battle sequences, and very little in the way of character development, humor or joy." -- Combustible Celluloid

"While The Fall of the Roman Empire is even more technically assured than El Cid, it's less interesting narrative-wise." -- Combustible Celluloid

3/4
 
"He likes to shoot his actors from distances, so that they look a bit like the real McCoys. It's disappointing to find that they're not, but it's also even more intriguing to wonder: who are they, then?" -- Combustible Celluloid

"It all wears thin pretty fast, but patience pays off; as the film approaches its final turn, Gornick allows refreshingly messy moments to creep in. " -- Combustible Celluloid

My Blueberry Nights (2008)49%

Zombie Strippers (2008)36%
/
2.5/4
 
"It's too bad that the film isn't actually about Jackie or Jet; rather, it's about a bland, annoying, white kid." -- Combustible Celluloid

The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)62%
/
1.5/4
 
"If only the film actually ran 88 minutes instead of 108, the many glaring logic loopholes might have whizzed by without notice. But like a bad apple, that extra 20 minutes of wasted film has rotted the rest." -- Combustible Celluloid

The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (1975)90%

2/4
 
"In the "B" movie days, a story like this would shoot by in about 70 minutes without time to pick holes in the motives. But Assayas takes a bloated, boring 106 minutes." -- Combustible Celluloid

Boarding Gate (2007)26%

"Juno's dialogue was artificial but sounded good; it was musical. This dialogue sounds like writing, like gears turning. " -- Combustible Celluloid
