Review of Frailty (2012)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

So grim, dim, and formulaic, that there is no room for any kind of visceral connection or genuine suspense…

Review of The Curse of the Jade Scorpion (2001)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

A little Woody goes a long way. His cloying nebbishness gets old quickly, though he does have a singular wit and some kind of indefinable charm…

Review of Dick Tracy (1990)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

Lame and tedious comic book film. Try THE SHADOW or THE ROCKETEER instead…

Review of Freejack (1992)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

Weak and miscast sci-fi actioner. The likes of Hopkins and Russo are wasted here…

Review of Joy Ride (1958)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

America's dark and lonely back roads are the prime location for stories about relentless, psychotic stalkers preying on the youth…

Review of Batman Returns (1992)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

Once again, Tim Burton ruins the Batman series with overly-campy crap. Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman is the only saving grace…

Review of Brain Dead (1990)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

Only the two Bills [Pullman and Paxton] keep this one from flat-lining…

Review of The Crow: City of Angels (1996)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

Worst of the Crow franchise, which should have ended with Brandon Lee and the entertaining first film…

Review of Resident Evil (2002)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

The only real cerebral activity that should take place in a zombie movie is the consumption of brains by the heretofore mentioned zombies themselves…

Review of Mulholland Dr. (1999)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

A Sapphic Nancy Drew Mystery on the Lost Highway ... When it comes to Lynch, the journey is always more interesting than the destination…

Review of The Dogs of War (1980)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

Cry Havoc . . . and wake me up for the last 15 minutes. Not a bad film, but it is a bit of a mixed bag…

Review of The Rocketeer (1991)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

Lives and breathes with the spirit of the old adventure pulp comics or Saturday matinee serials…

Review of The Ring (2002)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

The pervasive feeling of dread, rather than cheap scares, is what carries the film when it occasionally slips into familiar contrivances…

Review of Reservoir Dogs (1992)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

While Reservoir Dogs is probably Tarantino's most unpolished work, it strongly contends for the distinction of being his best…

Review of The Others (2001)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

For every dozen slasher films, there is one genuinely innovative and hair-raising horror film that dares to take chances and force you to rely…

Review of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

The bulk of thanks should really go to Peter Jackson, who has obviously lavished much love on this project with respect for the source material…

Review of Papillon (1973)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

Awesome jailbreak film with gritty performances…

Review of Blade II (2002)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

More fun than shooting a cannon full of razor blades into a cattle pen…

Review of The Hidden (1987)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Mar 2003

Full of great car chases…
