Movie Rating Review Score Synopsis
1408 PG-13 Renter

Watch it and dream about what could have been.

Aeon Flux PG-13 Bomb

Not just a bad adaptation, but actually an insult to the original.

Agony of Love NR-AD Renter

The only reason to buy this is to re-write it.

Amazon Women on the Moon R Renter

unless you have lots of friends to show this kind of silliness.

Anatomie R Renter

A well-done medical thriller, but there's no need to preserve it on your shelf

Assassination Bureau PG Renter

It's not terribly expensive, and you'll probably want to loan it out.

Aventurera Renter

A quirky and rewarding film I still don't want to dust.

Bad Movie Police Case #1: Galaxy of the Dinosaurs Renter

A good time will be had by all - but are you really prepared for a repeat viewing?

Barb Wire Bomb

I can think of better ways to start a career. I can think of better ways to end one, for that matter.

Battlefield Earth PG-13 Bomb

maybe a renter, if it's cheap and Manos: The Hands of Fate has already been checked out.

Beautiful Creatures R Bomb

Your time is better spent on other mediocre Thelma and Louise knockoffs.

Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla NR-K Renter

Suitable only for lounge act hobbyists and the hardiest of Mystery Science Theatre parties.

Bellydance Superstars: Live in Paris at the Folies Bergere Renter

Me, I bought it. But most would probably rather rent...

Blood: The Last Vampire Renter

Worth one viewing, but there's not much there for a second.

Bloodrayne NR-MA Bomb

Never thought I'd use the phrase "Worse than Blade," but there you go.

Bound R Renter

An interesting little film, but probably not something you're going to watch twice.

Brother from Another Planet NR-AD Keeper

But the production on the DVD doesn't quite meet minimal standards.

Bubba Ho-Tep Keeper

King of Camelot, King of Rock, King of Egypt - what's not to love?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer PG Renter

Unless, of course, you're a Joss Completeist.

Burn Up W NR-AD Renter
Cabin Fever R Bomb

Higher production values than you might think, but paced like an MST3K movie.

Cannibal: The Musical! NR-AD Renter

Is it stupid? Yes. Juvenile in some places? Yes. Is it still funny? Mostly, yes. Shpadoinkle away!

Capsule Review: Häxan NR-AD Keeper

but not for entertainment purposes.

Capsule Review: M NR-AD Renter

Primarily interesting to those of an academic inclination. AKA: Nerds.

Castle of Cagliostro PG-13 Keeper

a fantastic film, both for fans of Lupin and Miyazaki

Cheech & Chong's Up In Smoke R Renter

I mean, honestly, how many times can you watch Cheech score a lid?

Cinematic Titanic: The Oozing Skull NR-PG Renter

MSTie fans will want to own this, obviously, but if you're new to the format you better rent it first.

Cloverfield PG-13 Bomb
Comic Book: The Movie PG-13 Bomb

Well, it might get better after the first ten minutes, but I don't know.

Corpse Bride PG Renter
Cosplay Complex Renter

High production values, an entertaining concept, and a handful of fun moments add some minor entertainment value to an otherwise generic fanservice comedy.

Cube R Bomb

Philosophy with my blood and guts? No thank you.

Curdled R Keeper

Movies this loopy are meant to be savored.

Cutey Honey #1 Bomb
Cyborg R Bomb

but might be entertaining if there are a lot of people around.

Cyborg 2 R Renter

you only need to see this one once folks. It ain't that good.

D.E.B.S. PG-13 Keeper

The storytelling style is clearly not for everyone. But for those who do, this is one you share.

Danny Deckchair PG-13 Bomb

If you like romantic comedies, you probably have bits of this one in every other film you own.

Dark Star NR-AD Renter

I personally can't see watching it enough to memorize lines.

Dark Water NR-Adult Bomb

Tedious horror that takes itself too seriously as art to actually commit to the genre.

Dead Man R Renter

A surrealistic trip through a frontier no-man's land may not be everyone's cup of tea, but this is one fine movie.

Death Race 2000 R Renter

Premise holds more promise than the film, but it's important for other reasons, too.

Deewaar: Let's Bring Our Heroes Home NR-PG Renter

Audiences used to American film may find the dance numbers hard to swallow, and the rest may have trouble with the rampant nobility.

Devil's Nightmare R Renter

Not a bad film for a low-budget, early seventies skin flick.

District B13 R Renter

canned plot but unusual stunts.

Doctor Who: Robots of Death NR-K Keeper

but don't expect to show off your entertainment system with it.

Doppelganger: The Evil Within R Bomb

I defy you to find something good in this movie.

Dracula 2000 R Renter

Good for bad movie nights -- or if you like vacant, preoccupied looking women.

Dragonslayer PG Renter
Dreamscape PG-13 Renter

Good old anti-soviet paranoia, but not worth keeping around for repeated viewing.

Duck! The Carbine High Massacre NR-Adult Bomb

May be significant as an early satire on the events of Columbine, but not particularly watchable.

Emmanuelle NR-Adult Keeper

Intelligent soft porn with a genuine critique of hedonistic philosophy. How French.

Equilibrium R Renter

Bad enough to make it worth watching.

Eugenie: the Story of Her Journey Into Perversion NR-Adult Renter

Better than most, but once is probably enough for this one.

Eyes of the Serpent R Bomb

Hard to find. Should be harder.

Fat Girl (À ma soeur!) NC-17 Renter

A little of this film goes a long way; fortunately, you don't have to own it to discuss it.

FeardotCom R Bomb

It's called FeardotCom. It's called FeardotCom!

Female Vampire NC-17 Renter

Not really. Probably a bomb as far as most people are concerned.

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within PG-13 Keeper
Finding Nemo G Keeper

A brilliant modern cartoon that captures the magic of early Disney.

Firefly Keeper

One of the greatest shows to be cancelled before its time.

Freddy Vs. Jason R Renter

I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

From Dusk Til Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money R Bomb

Was there ever any doubt?

From Dusk Till Dawn R Bomb

I would watch it again, but I don't think eyes grow back from being clawed out.

Geobreeders NR-AD Renter
Ginger Snaps NR-AD Renter

The film has some dedicated fans, but it's worth renting first to see if it's your thang.

Godzilla 2000: Millennium PG Keeper

You want this if you collect Godzilla films.

Good Bye, Lenin! R Keeper

Beautiful film, fantastic story, and a few nice moments of slapstick humor.

Gymkata R Bomb
Havoc NR-AD Bomb

The acting is great but the message is muddled; movie cheats at the end.

Heavy Metal R Bomb

a real stinker, too.

Hercules in New York Renter

It's good for a laugh or two, but the rebar lightning bolt gets tired quickly.

House of 1000 Corpses R Bomb

Soulless, suspense-free, and ultimately less than it clearly wants to be.

House of Wax R Renter

With Paris Hilton in it, it could have been worse.

House on Haunted Hill R Renter

Better than the original, but still sub-par.

Howard the Duck PG Bomb
Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem NR-PG Renter

An interesting experiment, but if you're not a techno fan you might have difficulty sitting through it all.

Jeepers Creepers R Keeper
Jeeves and Wooster NR-K Keeper

indeed.

Judy Berlin Renter

A beautiful and simple film, but the slow pace may make repeated viewings difficult.

Julie NR-PG Renter

A laughable English translation holds this movie back for American audiences.

Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love Keeper
Kentucky Fried Movie R Renter

Hasn't aged well, won't do any better in your collection.

Kite Keeper

Silly or gritty: pick one.

Kung Fu Hustle R Keeper

This movie is destined to go down as one of the greats of kung fu cinema.

L.A. Story Keeper

Possibly the best romantic comedy when it comes to being both romantic and comic

La Blue Girl Renter
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider PG-13 Renter

unless you're a big fan of the video game, I suppose. Or like big lips.

Le Mans G Renter

Only hard-core race fans will want to dust this one.

Lewis Black Unleashed NR-AD Keeper

You might not watch it again, but you'll want to show your friends.

Lost in Translation R Bomb

but it'll make your DVD collection look more urbane to pseudo-intellectual movie reviewers.

Lost Skeleton of Cadavra PG Renter
Lust for Dracula NR-Adult Bomb

but only if your curiosity gets the better of you.

Man of the Century R Keeper

This is one of those movies that just doesn't get old.

March of the Penguins G Renter

Excellent filmwork weakened by melodramatic voice-over means you might just want a poster instead.

Matrix: Revolutions R Bomb

And the first movie held such promise...

Mezzo Forte NR-Adult Renter

But rent the standard version.

MST3K: Beginning of the End NR-K Keeper

because you need a complete set, right?

Nazca NR-AD Renter

It's a nice diversion, but I wouldn't want to dust it.

Next PG-13 Bomb

If I could have seen two minutes into the future, would I still have put this DVD into the player?

Penn & Teller's Magic and Mystery Tour NR-AD Keeper

One of the few documentaries that rate a place in any collection.

Pennies From Heaven R Bomb

Even a great cast can't save the film from its unlikeable main character and uneven script.

Pilates for Men NR-K Keeper

Excellent independant exercise video, free of cruft and flash.

Pitch Black R Bomb

Even ignoring the physics, this movie is just plain awful.

Princess Mononoke PG-13 Renter
Puni Puni Poemi Renter

Excel Saga completists might consider adding this to their collection, the rest will rent

Queen of the Damned R Bomb
Ralph Nader Crashes the Two Parties NR-PG Renter

An example of a well-done campaign video. Direct, to-the-point, and clear about its candidate's goals.

Raptor R Bomb

It's been a long time since Corman contributed to trash cinema.

Re-Animator R Keeper

Perfect for your late-night splatterfests.

Re-Evaluating the Brooklyn Gorilla NR-K Keeper

This movie must be seen to be believed.

Red Scorpion R Bomb

Notable mainly because political crook Jack Abramoff produced it.

Resident Evil R Renter
Rollerball R Bomb

Where's James Caan when you need him?

Roujin Z NR-AD Renter

but an excellent one.

Samurai X: The Motion Picture NR-AD Renter

but a pretty good film, anyway.

Saw R Renter

Will probably be important to the genre, but most definately not fun to watch.

Screaming Dead R Keeper

If you're a fan of the low-production-value film, you'll want to add this one to your collection for sure.

Serenity PG-13 Keeper

A big-screen adaptation that expands the original while respecting its audience. A worthy follow-up to the original series.

Shark Tale PG Bomb

Adults can't stand it, kids would rather watch Nemo. Another movie cementing Dreamworks as Pixar's low-rent, unfunny brother.

Shaun of the Dead R Keeper
Shivers R Renter

Some horror fans might have good reason to add this to the permanent collection, though.

Slumber Party Massacre R Renter

Unless you want to force your students to watch it and write a paper, best leave this one on the shelf.

Slumber Party Massacre II R Bomb

Yes, I know you think it looks like the stupid kind of fun. You are wrong wrong wrong.

So I Married an Axe Murderer PG-13 Keeper

I've seen this movie four times, I'm sure to watch it again.

Cheesetastic! Hands down one of the best sex-farce films I've seen.

A gorgeous modern-day fairy tale.

Star Trek: Nemesis PG-13 Renter
Taal Renter
Tapeheads R Renter

More a collection of memorable sketches than a solid movie.

Tequila Body Shots R Renter

but only if you are sick. Like I am right now.

Texas Chain Saw Massacre R Renter
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Remake) R Bomb

Far less affecting and smart than the original, and that's saying something.

The Aviary Keeper

Silver Tree's script and Abe Levy's direction truly transport the viewer to a different world.

The Caine Mutiny NR-K Keeper

Re-watch value is low, but good conversation piece.

The Call of Cthulhu NR-PG Keeper

Not only rare in being a new silent film, but also rare in being a faithful adaptation of Lovecraft.

The Incredible Hulk Returns / The Trial of the Incredible Hulk Renter

Production values for the 80's made-for-tv films may not be high, but they're certainly worth a viewing or two.

The Jess Franco Collection NR-Adult Renter

Except for _Oasis of the Zombies_. That belongs underground.

The Lord of the G-Strings: The Femaleship of the String (2003) NC-17 Renter

For entertainment purposes only—not to be used as a marital aid.

The Man Who Haunted Himself PG Bomb

Roger Moore completists are probably thrilled. The rest should walk on by.

The Monster of Camp Sunshine Renter

It's a bad movie, but its heady combination of old-school burlesque with nudist-camp-film frolicking manages to keep things fun.

The Phantom of the Opera PG-13 Bomb
The Prestige PG-13 Renter

The book, on the other hand, is worth more attention

The Punisher R Renter

A flawed movie in the final analysis, but creative enough that it deserves at least one viewing.

The Purifiers R Bomb

If 99% of everything is crap, this is in the bottom percentile.

The Quiet Earth R Renter
The Red Violin R Keeper

An amazingly beautiful movie that's worth more than one viewing

The Rosebud Beach Hotel R Bomb

Do you really need to see Fran Drescher that badly?

The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash NR-PG Keeper

Classic moments and a soundtrack that takes itself seriously - but not too seriously.

The Secret Sex Lives of Romeo and Juliet NC-17 Renter
The Tick - The Entire Series NR-PG Keeper

Come on! It's the most perfect superhero spoof since Adam West's Batman!

The Wicker Man R Keeper

A landmark film, both in portrayal of pagans and the use of the brain.

They Live R Renter

A classically bad film, suitable even for newbies to the genre.

Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life PG-13 Renter

Starts out as weak as the first one, but gets better as the movie progresses.

Tourist Trap PG Renter

May be Stephen King's favorite film, but you'll want to send it back.

Tremors PG-13 Renter

an excellent example of the monster-movie genre.

Triloquist Bomb
Triplets of Belleville PG-13 Bomb

Quirky animation might turn some people off, but what's really lacking is story.

Troll PG-13 Bomb

A mediocre and tedious film that pitches to too many audiences at once.

UHF PG Keeper
Ultraviolet PG-13 Bomb

Watch it? I wouldn't even _microwave_ it.

Underworld R Bomb

unless you're having a bad movie night or have a thing for latex.

Underworld: Evolution R Renter
Vampire Effect R Keeper

Goofy yet stylish, funny yet action-packed - a true blend of martial arts and vampire film

Vampirella R Renter

Perfect for bad-movie marathons.

Van Helsing Renter

Lots of fun, but a few cinematic stumbles make it more of a single-viewing movie.

Weather Woman (Otenki-oneesan) Renter

A fun romp that provides a light distraction, but an example of the importance of a likable main character.

Wolfhound (Unrated Edition) NR-Adult Renter

Some worthy performances, but overall hindered by its Playboy production values.

X-Files Season One NR-AD Keeper

for the archive!

Zardoz Renter

Cinematography is nice, but the weirdness is the best reason to watch.
