The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)

Action/Adventure Rated PG-13

“Narratively inept, unconvincingly edited and nearly deficient of suspense…”

Jurassic Park (1993)

Action/Adventure Rated PG-13

“As much as you can point to the T-rex attack as a master class in action filmmaking, this still leaves a mechanized aftertaste.”

Aloha (2015)

Romantic Comedy Rated PG-13

“…fatally unaware of its own incoherence – both in terms of narrative and character.”

Say Anything… (1989)

Romantic Comedy Rated PG-13

“Cameron Crowe’s graduation-speech homilies are given an effervescent sincerity by John Cusack.”

Lucy (2014)

Action/Adventure Rated R

“There’s never any tension or suspense to the movie, because whatever Lucy faces, we know her big brain will inexplicably be able to handle it.”

Cleo from 5 to 7 (1962)

Drama Rated NR

“…stands apart from the French New Wave in that it is very much the story of a woman, not about a woman.”

Jules and Jim (1962)

Drama Rated NR

“…playfulness is the defining characteristic, even if what it largely entails is a tragic gender gap of fatal proportions.”

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

Action/Adventure Rated R

“…a tale of milk and blood.”

Slow West (2015)

Drama Rated R

“…a familiar yarn told in a somewhat unfamiliar drawl.”

Mad Max (1979)

Action/Adventure Rated R

“…essentially serves as the setup for the far superior Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.”
