 3.5/5 |
Soapy and trashy, and more than a little bit ludicrous. But there's quite a bit of subtext if you need it. Full Review |

If Far From Heaven had had any sense of humor, it might have looked a little like this. Full Review |

An extended skit on The Carol Burnett Show with fleeting full frontal nudity. Full Review |

Die Mommie Die! seems more like an amateur revue, perfectly all right for what it is, but not meant to be seen beyond an audience of friends and family. Full Review |

It plugs ahead on the stamina and sheer nerve of its author-star. Full Review |

You quickly start to realize that there's not much of a movie here. Full Review |

2/5 |
This is such a smug, self-satisfied film that it will leave a bad taste in your mouth, whether you're a fan of old melodramas or not. Full Review |

A loving homage to every movie Joan Crawford ever barreled her shoulder pads through. Full Review |

Cheesy, corny and cheap. In other words, it's everything writer-star Charles Busch wanted his spoof of B-movies to be. Full Review |

Aside from meeting a memorable character -- an aging pop diva with self-dramatizing flair -- this comedy thrives on arch melodrama and movie smarts. Full Review |

3/4 |
How can you not like a movie where characters spout ridiculous dialogue such as, 'You can't discard me like one of your false eyelashes!' and believe every word they're hissing? Full Review |
