By Emanuel Levy (2,948) for Variety (12,700) on 22 Dec 2006

Review of Cam (2018)

By Lee M (4,001) on 01 Dec 2018

It's a really enjoyable moment, with some very tense scenes an a really amazing actuation. YOU NEED TO SEE IT…

Review of Izzy Gets the F*ck Across Town (2018)

By Lee M (4,001) on 16 Jan 2019

Unfortunately, Izzy fritters away much of its early promise and energy on a will-they-or-won't-they romantic plot that the film simultaneously…

Review of Some Like It Hot (1939)

By Lee M (4,001) on 27 Nov 2018

Funny movie! Classic. This is what inspired Tootsie, Bosom Buddies, Mrs. Doubtfire. Interesting that this was risque material in '59…

Review of Lesbian Vampire Killers (2009)

By Lee M (4,001) on 07 Dec 2018

The DVD release of Vampire Killers leaves out the 'Lesbians' from the title. Also missing are funny jokes, thrills and engaging characters…

Review of The Secret of Nikola Tesla (1980)

By Lee M (4,001) on 09 Dec 2018

The subject matter is far more important than this particular film about it…

Review of Imitation of Life (1959)

By Lee M (4,001) on 05 Dec 2018

Sirk unleashed a melodramatic torrent of rage at the corrupt core of American life-the unholy trinity of racism, commercialism, and puritanism…

Review of War Room (2015)

By Lee M (4,001) on 10 Jan 2019
