AN AMERICAN CRIME
A dramatization of the 1965 torture murder of 16-year-old Sylvia Likens, and about as good as can be expected of a true crime drama from the director of ELLA ENCHANTED and the star of JUNO
ZODIAC
I can’t imagine a better movie about the still-unsolved “Zodiac” killings that plagued San Francisco during the late sixties and early seventies
A ZED AND TWO NOUGHTS
I admittedly don’t know exactly what this film is, but can say for certain that A ZED AND TWO NOUGHTS is a morbid and fascinating oddity unlike anything else
Y2K: SHUT DOWN DETECTED
Yes, we all know the dreaded “millennium bug” was a joke, but you’re advised to catch Y2K: SHUT DOWN DETECTED, an extremely slick little film marred only by the fact that it really should have been longer
YOKAI MONSTERS: 100 MONSTERS
A floating umbrella monster, a hairy three eyed critter with no arms, a guy with no face, a woman with a looooooong neck and a walking fish creature are just a few of the 100 monsters on display here
YETI: GIANT OF THE 20th CENTURY
Even the most dedicated bad movie buff will be appalled by this abomination from 1977, but I can’t say it isn’t entertaining
YEARS OF THE BEAST
An old school Christian scare flick, not exactly “good” but still better than most
AMMORU
A groundbreaking special effects extravaganza from South India—or Tollywood—and an all-around mind-roaster
AMERICAN PSYCHO (Film)
Although it wowed many mainstream critics, this lukewarm ‘00 adaptation of Brett Easton Ellis’ infamous novel is a dreary and affected slog
AMERICAN PERFEKT
There’s never been a psycho thriller like AMERICAN PERFEKT (sic), a cunning exercise in misdirection featuring a top notch cast. It’s a shame the film isn’t better known
