"Admittedly, it doesn't have many belly laughs, but if you're tuned into Waters' peculiar, highly intelligent comedy style it's a fascinating watch. " -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Sex and Death 101 (2008)27%
/
 
"The amazing Deschanel once again proves her astonishing ability to exist comfortably within a scene, as well as slightly above it. " -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Flakes (2007)25%
/
2.5/4
 
"Crosses big gross-out shock scenes with more in-the-know jokes about terrorists and nutrition, without ever realizing or acknowledging this chasm. I wish it had been a little smarter -- or dumber." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Poultrygeist (2008)68%
/
2.5/4
 
"Elsa is obsessed with the "Fontana di Trevi" sequence from La Dolce Vita, but that's only a reminder that the aging Fellini once accomplished far more effective films about old age and second chances." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Elsa & Fred (2008)58%
/
3/4
 
"It's a simple-looking film with a complicated center. But there's a kind of sadness in the film that remains untapped, perhaps because Pierre himself isn't ready for it. " -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Before I Forget (2008)86%
/
3/4
 
"Even if you've seen lots of movies of this type and can figure out exactly what's going to happen, Anderson takes great pleasure in the pure form and execution of it. " -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Transsiberian (2008)85%

2/4
 
"The animation looks unfinished, with a kind of lifeless mechanical sheen replacing actual textures. " -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Space Chimps (2008)38%
/
 
"Lloyd's film has no shape or tone; it swings wildly from sunny, haphazard scenes that play like outtakes, to higher-pitched, shrieking, hysterical scenes. " -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
Mamma Mia! (2008)53%
/
3.5/4
 
"I loved The Dark Knight... It's unbelievably dark and uncompromised; it's the film noir we deserve for our terrifying 21st century." -- Combustible Celluloid

The Kid Brother (1927)n/a
/
 
"Has a lot of great looking action, but it moves awfully fast and the comedy and acting is very, very broad" -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 10, 2008
 
Eagle Shooting Heroes (1993)n/a
/
 
"Of [Mann's] various transitional films, none is more consistently fascinating or misunderstood than the masterpiece The Furies." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 10, 2008
 
The Furies (1950)n/a
/
2/4
 
"A bit like Robert Altman's Short Cuts (1993), taking a look at a cross-section of Los Angeles characters, though it runs less than half the length and, conversely, half the depth. " -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 10, 2008
 
Garden Party (2008)12%
/
3/4
 
"Instead of collapsing under thunderous CGI and fart jokes, Brevig crafts a delightfully retro entertainment, light and funny and summery. " -- Combustible Celluloid

Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)60%
/
3.5/4
 
"Del Toro seems to have been given more freedom and more money to create an even more complete universe, packed to the corners with his peculiar, unique ideas and nightmares. " -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 10, 2008
 
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)87%
/
 
"Despite the downward spiral of these two lives, the film never loses its drive or passion; it never wallows in the misery. " -- Combustible Celluloid

"A step in a new direction for the very stylish and always fascinating Hong Kong director." -- Combustible Celluloid

Happy Together (1997)78%

"Oz was no doubt hired to handle the plant monster puppet, but his brisk, lightweight direction spreads satisfyingly across the entire movie. " -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jul 4, 2008
 
Little Shop of Horrors (1986)89%
/
 
"Sam Peckinpah's great, bloody Western shocked most people with its extreme violence upon its original release, but now it's firmly nestled in the American canon." -- Combustible Celluloid

The Wild Bunch (1969)97%
/
3/4

Quid Pro Quo (2008)64%
/
2.5/4
 
"Manages a careful balance of entertainment and realism. It could be a Shirley Temple movie for our current hard times." -- Combustible Celluloid

Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)80%
/
2.5/4
 
"The shaking and almost random cutting destroy the movie's timing and humor, though Smith is skilled enough to sneak a few laughs through." -- Combustible Celluloid

Hancock (2008)38%

"The general consensus on this Mario Bava film is that it's a departure from the traditional Giallo formula and that it's not one of his best, but it's one of my favorites. " -- Combustible Celluloid

The Naked Jungle (1954)80%
/
 
"Though it appears to be a brain-dead comedy, it at least has a little something to say about American suburbia in the 1990s -- a specialty of director Penelope Spheeris." -- Combustible Celluloid
Posted Jun 20, 2008
 
Wayne's World (1992)83%

"No one was more surprised than I was that not only did this "Saturday Night Live" sketch work as a film, it worked twice, and uproariously both times. " -- Combustible Celluloid

Wayne's World 2 (1993)58%

The Love Guru (2008)15%

Bay of Blood (1971)88%

"In the aftermath of the Oscars, it now seems clear that Devil in a Blue Dress was one of the best films of 1995." -- Combustible Celluloid

"Ford spends more time setting up a kind of slow-going Southern atmosphere, where everyone knows everyone and it's always just about time for another mint julep. " -- Combustible Celluloid
