Riding In Cars ...
Barely OK 5 Points 2001

A melodramatic movie about a teenage girl named Beverly (Drew Barrymore) who becomes pregnant. She marries the drug-addicted father of her child and her life is derailed as a result, leaving her yearning for a better life.

Marketed as a comedy/drama, it really plays more like dark humor, with …

Four Lions
Very Good 5 Points 2010

As a rule, satirical pieces always contain elements of truth. This premise is beautifully portrayed in Four Lions, a humorous film about the unpleasant topic of young men choosing to sacrifice themselves in an attack on “western decadence”.

While the premise of suicide bombing is terrifying …

I'm Still Here
Pretty Awful 5 Points 2010

Either Joaquin Phoenix is a terrible rapper, or he just created an ill-conceived satiric piece that completely trashes his career and image in the film “I’m Still Here.”

Ostensibly a documentary filmed by his brother-in-law Casey Affleck about Phoenix’s career transformation from actor to rap …

Scotland, PA
Good 5 Points 2001

A quirky film that never really seems to rise to it’s full potential, Scotland, PA manages to be entertaining, without taking itself too seriously. Based on William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, about greed, envy and murder, this version is set in a fast-food diner in the 1970’s.

The movie is…

Very Good 6 Points 2008

A very funny and engaging set-up which will keep you laughing and make you go “awwww…” a the same time. Think Juno meets Superbad.

Sex and the City
Barely OK 10 Points 2008

The Sex and the City movie. The show I adore, ruined by what could have been a great movie. The first hour of this movie is perfect. We get hilarious one-liners from Samantha, and some drama stirring up between Big and Carrie. But as the movie goes on, with it’s 2 and a half hour run time, it dra…

Sex and the City
Great 10 Points 1998

HBO is a factory of hit TV shows like Six Feet Under, The Wire, True Blood and Sex and the City. Yes, I’ve come to the conclusion… that I love this show. Is it the ridiculous ways these characters act? The over-exaggerated way these characters view life? Is it the cheesy acting? It’s all of the…

Really Great 16 Points 2006

The whole point of suicide is supposed to be an escape out of the misery that life can pile up on you. However, what if suicide really wasn’t a way out of anything? What if after committing suicide not only did your existence continue but it led you to a more depressing world void of anything a…

The Darjeeling ...
Good 17 Points 2007

An esoteric and funny journey to India with three neurotic brothers. The all over the place nature of this film is the main source of its humor, and while not-quite LOL, you’ll find yourself chuckling the whole way through. Stick with the ironic, wacky and sarcastic twists and turns, and you will…
