" Not every movie that is billed as 'erotic' deserves that distinction, but director Julio Medem's Sex And Lucia certainly does. It's the kind of intelligent, thoughtful film about sex and love that Hollywood just can't make." -- Request Magazine

Sex and Lucia (2002)71%

4/10
 
" Many of the characters aren't even likable throughout the first half of the movie, and while they evolve positively over time, it is barely enough to win anyone over." -- Citysearch

6/10
 
" While the filmmakers send up the genre's cliches and expected audience empathy with the villains, it still feels like the ludicrous dialogue and one-dimensional characterizations were written by teenagers." -- Citysearch

8/10
 
" Just how scary is it? Even the film's daytime confrontations are enough to cause a severe jolt, but one nocturnal sequence involving a moaning old woman could leave viewers shuddering for days." -- Citysearch

The Eye (2003)65%

" The plot is paper-thin, supporting players like the bumbling Team Rocket baddies are mere window dressing and the devious designs of Annie and Oakley are generic at best." -- Citysearch

" Amplifying the story's eroticism, Maddin cleverly transforms Stoker's timeless tale into an allegory about both Victorian sexual oppression and xenophobia." -- Citysearch

4/10
 
" Despite some gruesomely colorful sets, a few scares and Sid Haig's droll performance as the wise-cracking Captain Spaulding, the disjointed narrative is as messy as the blood-splattered corpses littering the film." -- Citysearch

" "Feardotcom" has the makings of an interesting meditation on the ethereal nature of the internet and the otherworldly energies it could channel, but it simply becomes a routine shocker." -- Citysearch

Fear Dot Com (2002)3%

" The fourth "Pokemon" is a diverting--if predictable--adventure suitable for a matinee, with a message that cautions children about disturbing the world's delicate ecological balance." -- Citysearch

" Some of Seagal's action pictures are guilty pleasures, but this one is so formulaic that it seems to be on auto-pilot." -- Citysearch

" With an unusual protagonist (a kilt-wearing Jackson) and subject matter, the improbable "Formula 51" is somewhat entertaining, but it could have been much stronger." -- Citysearch

" Impassioned performances and direction make this a riveting recreation of a reprehensible period neglected by historians." -- Citysearch

" "Undisputed" could have been compelling, but it ultimately plays out as a standard prison action movie." -- Citysearch

" While "Ziggy" is obviously more of interest to hardcore Bowie fans than anyone else (some critics have trashed it for that reason), it should be required viewing for rockers-in-training who really want to learn about good showmanship." -- Citysearch

Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars: The Motion Picture (1983)71%

" With its charged themes, Dark Blue is a lot to swallow in only two hours, but a thought-provoking ride for those up to the task." -- Citysearch

" Though it feels at times like a direct-to-video release, director Tuck Tucker's movie is still well-paced and funny." -- Citysearch

" Director Paul Cox's unorthodox, abstract approach to visualizing Nijinsky's diaries is both stimulating and demanding." -- Citysearch

" Rangers aspires to be a classic Western but falls short, despite large doses of bravado and machismo, thunderous shoot 'em ups and stirring symphonic fanfare." -- Citysearch
