Christine (1983) 72% 3/4 EDIT “Director John Carpenter realizes the essential silliness of it all, and goes for humor and camp wherever possible.” – Florida Times-Union Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Tron (1982) 60% EDIT “In the end, TRON seems to have been written by a computer, as well as realized by one.” – Florida Times-Union Jan 26, 2026 Full Review This Is Spinal Tap (1984) 98% 3.5/4 EDIT “A hilarious spoof of heavy-metal music that has "cult classic" written all over it.” – Florida Times-Union Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Stephen King's It (1990) 68% EDIT “Trimmed from six hours to four, it feels squeezed, with important details and explanations dropped... It is nonetheless very watchable.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Ultimate X: The Movie (2002) 72% B EDIT “There is a breathtaking grace when these young men (and one female) ride a skateboard high into the air and flip the board and their bodies through an impossible series of contortions. ” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Sep 12, 2023 Full Review Lucky You (2007) 28% C- EDIT “Lucky You is like the old joke about the classified ad: 'LOST DOG. Three legs. Blind in one eye. Missing half his tail. Recently neutered. Answers to Lucky'.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution May 4, 2007 Full Review Meet the Robinsons (2007) 68% B+ EDIT “Like many worthwhile movies, this one's about the longings of the heart, and the happiness that comes when those longings are fulfilled. The 3-D and singing frogs are extra. Wo, wo, wo.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Mar 29, 2007 Full Review Amazing Grace (2006) 68% B EDIT “If you seek a movie that is uplifting, enlightening and ennobling, then Grace is for you.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Feb 22, 2007 Full Review Jesus Camp (2006) 89% B EDIT “You don't have to be extreme or liberal to be shaken by Jesus Camp.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 5, 2006 Full Review American Dreamz (2006) 39% A- EDIT “20 years from now, Dreamz will be a fine time capsule of who we are, and of everything that we think is 'so cool.'” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Apr 20, 2006 Full Review Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) 56% B EDIT “Ice Age: The Meltdown is fine, in much the same way the first one was fine -- not as inventive as Pixar, but not out scratching for jokes like Chicken Little.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Mar 30, 2006 Full Review Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic (2005) 66% C EDIT “There are a number of wonderfully wicked lines, but overall the movie feels slack and self-indulgent, more of a decent HBO special that's being asked to do more than it can.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Dec 1, 2005 Full Review Yours, Mine & Ours (2005) 6% D EDIT “What matters is how stale and charmless this movie feels, how hard the actors all work in the service of mediocrity, and how shameless Hollywood is for feeding us thin porridge like this and then wondering why box office is down.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Nov 23, 2005 Full Review The Legend of Zorro (2005) 27% B- EDIT “We need more adventure flicks that play like grown-up movies and can still be enjoyed by kids, like this one.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 27, 2005 Full Review Domino (2005) 18% C+ EDIT “Think of Domino not so much as an overwrought adventure movie starring Keira Knightley as a bounty hunter, and more like one of those big domino-toppling displays that David Letterman sometimes puts on his show.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 13, 2005 Full Review The Aristocrats (2005) 79% A- EDIT “Staggeringly obscene and very funny.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Aug 11, 2005 Full Review House of Wax (2005) 27% D EDIT “A crummy horror flick.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution May 5, 2005 Full Review The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) 61% C- EDIT “One of those tone-deaf adaptations where they use the characters, parts of the plot and even some words from a famous book, and create something that feels nothing remotely like the book.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Apr 28, 2005 Full Review Fat Albert (2004) 23% C- EDIT “A tame, inoffensive little comedy that's never heinous enough to stink up the theater completely, even though it rarely rises above mediocrity.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Dec 23, 2004 Full Review The Passion of the Christ (2004) 49% B+ EDIT “This is a movie so singular, so intense, so overwhelming that it simply has to be experienced.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Feb 26, 2004 Full Review Scary Movie 3 (2003) 36% D EDIT “Scary Movie 3 blows more opportunities than the post-season Braves.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution Oct 23, 2003 Full Review
