Review of Skateland (2011)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 26 Oct 2011

Review of Page One: Inside the New York Times (2011)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 26 Oct 2011

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 26 Oct 2011

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 26 Oct 2011

Review of Terri (2011)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 18 Oct 2011

Review of Of Gods and Men (2010)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 08 Sep 2011

Of Gods and Men has a slow, introspective quality that gives the viewer plenty of time to mull over the monks' quandary, but it also has a…

Review of Take Me Home Tonight (2011)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 08 Sep 2011

This 80s-nostalgic comedy relies too much on its big hair and bright clothes and not enough on getting inside the head of its characters…

Review of Elektra Luxx (2011)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 08 Sep 2011

Review of Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 08 Sep 2011

It stays true to the central metaphor of the original films and takes its time setting the story up so that when the apes finally do run amok,…

Review of Priest (2011)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 08 Sep 2011

90 minutes of inconsequential action and cliché recycling...painful to watch a semi-interesting setup get squandered and become stuffed into…
