Review of Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)

By E L (691) on 28 Jul 2012

Even worse than the first, it's sad when the most entertaining character happens to be one without any dialogue: the rat-squirrel…

Review of Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995)

By E L (691) on 28 Jul 2012

Hard to remember whether I watched this or not... all of these films just blur into one…

Review of Dances with Wolves (1990)

By E L (691) on 28 Jul 2012

Review of Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010)

Unexpected comedy-horror that builds up and changes into farce towards the last 10 mins…

Review of Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004)

By E L (691) on 28 Jul 2012

I don't know why, but I really enjoyed this more than I should. Perhaps it's the novelty of seeing Asian actors in leading roles in an American film…

Review of Armageddon (1998)

By E L (691) on 28 Jul 2012

I blame this film for the turgid Aerosmith song, but it's a blockbuster through-and-through…

Review of DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story (2004)

Review of Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)

By E L (691) on 28 Jul 2012

Rather dated, and I'm not sure I see the fuss. Sure it's heavily atmospheric, but there's a lot of frustration with a plot that goes nowhere…

Review of American Ninja (1985)

By E L (691) on 28 Jul 2012

Hard to imagine this spawned innumerable sequels. Everything here is laughable, which is quite entertaining in itself…
