The Abyss (1989) 76% EDIT “"The Abyss" is a skillful meld of technology and emotion.” – Washington Post Dec 9, 2025 Full Review C.H.U.D. (1984) 43% EDIT “Despite its bare-bones plot and minimal effects, "C.H.U.D." is kept floating by thankfully underplayed acting and Parnell Hall's script.” – Washington Post Aug 21, 2025 Full Review Army of Darkness (1992) 68% EDIT “There's plenty of blood -- a geyser's worth at one point -- but nowhere close to the unrelenting flow of its predecessors. In any event, both genre fans and newcomers will be too busy laughing to be offended.” – Washington Post Mar 31, 2023 Full Review The Decline of Western Civilization (1981) 100% EDIT “Director Penelope Spheeris neither champions, patronizes nor condescends to the participants' stylized fury. The result is a film that will appeal equally to the furious and the curious, assuming that both enter the arena with an open mind.” – Washington Post May 10, 2019 Full Review Sign 'o' the Times (1987) 80% EDIT “What the [film] confirms is that more often than not, Prince is one of rock's most charismatic and compelling performers.” – Washington Post Apr 25, 2016 Full Review Chuck Berry Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll (1987) 89% EDIT “Chuck Berry Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll is as long and unwieldy as its title, but it's probably the most revealing look we'll ever get of its subject, and the most loving evocation of his music.” – Washington Post Sep 10, 2014 Full Review Death Wish V: The Face of Death (1994) 0% EDIT “Somehow, writer-director Allan Goldstein has managed to make a film that looks and feels older than its original mold.” – Washington Post Sep 10, 2012 Full Review Selena (1997) 67% EDIT “At its best, Selena suggests why so many people reacted with such great heartbreak to her death.” – Washington Post Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Halloween (2007) 28% EDIT “Contains dialogue so nasty and stupid, you'd swear (right along with the characters) that the booker for Jerry Springer wrote it (Zombie did).” – Washington Post Sep 4, 2007 Full Review Stone Cold (1991) 30% EDIT “Brian Bosworth's acting debut in Stone Cold carries about the same wallop The Boz did in the late stages of his very brief career in professional football.” – Washington Post May 4, 2006 Full Review Supercross: The Movie (2005) 5% EDIT “A poor man's Lords of Dogtown.” – Washington Post Aug 18, 2005 Full Review Rize (2005) 84% EDIT “Visually stunning.” – Washington Post Jun 23, 2005 Full Review Unleashed (2005) 66% EDIT “A film that could use a little less conversation, a lot more action.” – Washington Post May 13, 2005 Full Review Death of a Dynasty (2003) 50% EDIT “Death of a Dynasty is, like the music it parodies: aggressive, over-the-top, louder than life and in your face.” – Washington Post Apr 28, 2005 Full Review Lightning in a Bottle (2004) 88% EDIT “The event's musical director, Steve Jordan, marvels at one point: 'Looks like y'all hired the phone book . . . just looked up "Blues" in the Yellow Pages.'” – Washington Post Dec 17, 2004 Full Review American Experience: RFK (2004) 80% EDIT “A spectacular concert documentary that also gives some fascinating insights into the making of 'The Black Album.'” – Washington Post Nov 5, 2004 Full Review DIG! (2004) 89% EDIT “Ultimately undermined by the fact that the two rock bands Timoner chose to focus on -- the Brian Jonestown Massacre and the Dandy Warhols -- simply don't matter as much as she thinks they do.” – Washington Post Oct 22, 2004 Full Review End of the Century (2003) 95% EDIT “Gramaglia and Fields have uncovered plenty of good historical footage, and the interviews with band members, managers, friends and peer fans confirm not only how influential, but how beloved the Ramones were, particularly the ever-visible Joey.” – Washington Post Sep 17, 2004 Full Review Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) 18% EDIT “Plot and narrative? Minimal. Confrontations? Endless. Surprises? None.” – Washington Post Sep 9, 2004 Full Review Festival Express (2003) 96% EDIT “There are sterling concert performances by several bands in peak form.” – Washington Post Sep 3, 2004 Full Review Mayor of the Sunset Strip (2003) 87% EDIT “Feels like an elegy for an aging rock pixie.” – Washington Post Apr 30, 2004 Full Review Hellboy (2004) 81% EDIT “Del Toro moves his story along with unrelenting energy and wit while introducing the opposing parties with admirable efficiency.” – Washington Post Apr 2, 2004 Full Review Never Die Alone (2004) 26% EDIT “A bumbling adaptation.” – Washington Post Mar 26, 2004 Full Review Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Greendale (2003) 36% EDIT “Has a purposely amateurish feel that doesn't obscure the careful editing.” – Washington Post Mar 18, 2004 Full Review Just an American Boy (2003) 54% EDIT “Decidedly low-tech and not always particularly coherent or cohesive.” – Washington Post Dec 12, 2003 Full Review
