Get a Life (TV Series) (1990)
Publish Date: November 21, 2024
"'Get A Life' danced a spastic jig on the grave of the conventional sitcom (...) while still delivering laughs (...) Rating: ****½ (out of 5)"

AV Club
The Simpsons (TV Series) (1989)
Publish Date: November 14, 2017
"That's how deeply 'The Simpsons' has gotten under my skin and the skin of much of my generation. Seemingly throwaway lines from a cartoon are as deeply ingrained in my psyche as my most strongly held convictions"

AV Club
King Kong Lives (1986)
Publish Date: March 15, 2017
"'King Kong Lives' is a terrible film, alternately boring and fascinatingly misguided. But it’s ragingly inessential more than anything else."

AV Club
Blues Brothers 2000 (1998)
Publish Date: May 4, 2016
"'Blues Brothers 2000' is certainly not the worst movie I’ve ever seen, but I’d have a hard time thinking of a movie that’s less essential, or that has less of a reason to exist."

AV Club
Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1979)
Publish Date: January 12, 2016
"The result miraculously resurrects a seminal moment in rock history, elevating Ziggy Stardust into the landmark cultural event it always should have been"

AV Club
Seed of Chucky (2004)
Publish Date: November 15, 2014
"[It] goes even further toward comedy over horror, but the Chucky-as-comic-antihero gag has grown stale, and the film misses the gothic imagination that Hong Kong veteran Ronny Yu brought to 'Bride Of Chucky'."

AV Club
The Rundown (2003)
Publish Date: September 29, 2013
"[It] rises to the level of mediocrity thanks largely to the magnetic presence of The Rock"

AV Club
Would You Rather (2012)
Publish Date: July 1, 2013
"'Would You Rather' exists for the sake of Combs’ towering turn, and that ultimately isn’t enough to justify its negligible existence."

AV Club
Sun Don't Shine (2012)
Publish Date: April 24, 2013
"Working wonders on a tight budget, Seimetz uses handheld cameras and tight compositions to create an air of claustrophobic intensity interspersed with moments of ragged beauty"

AV Club
Secret Honor (1984)
Publish Date: December 3, 2012
"No depiction of [Lincoln's] life has cut deeper than Altman’s angry yet empathetic exploration of the existential angst that plagued the ultimate bête noire of 1960s counterculture"

AV Club
The Cold Light of Day (2012)
Publish Date: September 6, 2012
"Defined by needless, frenetic exertion in lieu of anything resembling inspiration."

AV Club
13 (2010)
Publish Date: October 26, 2011
"An action thriller that can’t think of anything for Jason Statham to do beyond look grim and serious in a suit"

AV Club
Courageous (2011)
Publish Date: September 27, 2011
"'Courageous' deifies fatherhood and fathers when it would be better off treating its central striver like a flawed human being instead of a paper saint."

AV Club
Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World (2011)
Publish Date: August 18, 2011
"The 'Spy Kids' series once seemed charmingly homemade. These days, it feels less charmingly homemade than maddeningly amateurish"

AV Club
Blue Valentine (2010)
Publish Date: December 27, 2010
"It has the sting and sadness of real life. The effect is powerful, yet strangely not overwhelming"

AV Club
The Man Who Knew Too Little (1997)
Publish Date: December 21, 2010
"Since everything other than Murray’s cluelessness is played straight, and feels relatively generic, 'Little' is only funny when he’s onscreen"

AV Club
Brewster McCloud (1970)
Publish Date: August 10, 2010
"It’s an intermittently lyrical, strangely poignant fantasy powered by the beatific, magnetic presence of Cort and Shelley Duvall (...) 'Brewster McCloud' is a thematic and narrative mess"

AV Club
Piranha (1978)
Publish Date: August 3, 2010
Dante delivers a superior Jaws rip-off with a light, goofy touch that anticipates the anarchic, gleeful mayhem of his later work. Read full review

AV Club
MacGruber (2010)
Publish Date: June 20, 2010
"It isn't exactly good, but for audiences in search of nothing more than a few silly chuckles, it should prove good enough."

AV Club
The Simpsons (TV Series) (1989)
Publish Date: June 5, 2010
"The greatest television show of all time and arguably the greatest pop-culture milestone of the twentieth century."
