The Wire - The Complete First Season (2002)n/a
/
4.5/5
 
"A multi-generational tale of bad money, it is the defining American movie of the 1990s; Scorsese hasn’t made a film half as good since its 1990 release." -- Filmcritic.com

Twist of Faith (2005)100%

3/5
 
"For a flick with a non-existent budget (well, $30,000) and relative amateurs in front of the camera, everybody’s lines are practically howler-free." -- Filmcritic.com
Posted Jun 1, 2005
 
Carnival of Souls (1962)82%
/
3/5
 
"best appreciated as a sort of adult version of teenage hygiene films from the '40s and '50s" -- Filmcritic.com

/
2.5/5

The Untouchables (1987)82%
/
5/5

/
3.5/5
