Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie | Kansas City Star | Shawn Bowers | Honestly, when I first saw the movie, I was probably around 8 years old, but the allure of the Ninja Turtles, while faded over the years, is still hard to deny. Not for all tastes by any means, it's decent enough. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,724 |
The Lion King | Kansas City Star | Shawn Bowers | A classic animated film. There's a reason it was the highest grossing animated flick until Finding Nemo came along...a marvel for all ages. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 1,724 |
Velvet Goldmine | Kansas City Star | Shawn Bowers | A bizarre thing, this trippy movie takes you on a whirlwind tour of Brit glam rock and doesn't let go. Graphic and unforgiving, but good. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,724 |

Jeepers Creepers 2 | Kansas City Star | Shawn Bowers | The film relies more on jump moments than gratuitous blood and guts for its scares, which is a welcome choice after such blood-drenched dreck as Freddy Vs. Jason. | C+ | long_letter | null | null | false | 11 | 18 | 1 | 1,725 |
Matchstick Men | Kansas City Star | Shawn Bowers | The story's a bit on the traditional side (it could be pitched as "Catch Me If You Can" meets "Ocean's 11"), but the three leads make it an enticing and tense caper flick. | B+ | long_letter | null | null | false | 14 | 18 | 1 | 1,725 |

A Thousand Words | Killer Movie Reviews | Andrea Chase | There is something almost poignant in the way Eddie Murphy so palpably desires to make a meaningful film about enlightenment.

Hunter Killer | Killer Movie Reviews | Andrea Chase | A curiously inert attempt at an action film played out in a form reminiscent of a barely competent industrial film rather than a taut suspense flick. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 1 | 4 | 1 | 1,727 |
I Am Number Four | Killer Movie Reviews | Andrea Chase | When the dust clears, and the disjointed coda is tacked on, the way is paved for a sequel, or several, and the audience is left wondering if they will appeal to more than the tweens targets for this one | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 1 | 4 | 1 | 1,727 |

Pilgrimage | Killer Movie Reviews | Andrea Chase | The film finds a kind of transcendence as entrails are violated and lightning strikes with unsettling purpose, a meditative element that permeate one monk's spiritual journey from darkness to light to something for which he does not have a name. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 2 | 4 | 1 | 1,727 |

Sausage Party | Killer Movie Reviews | Andrea Chase | Like the sex, drugs, and politics that are fodder for the script, the question of what happens when we leave this world is addressed directly, and with the same fulsome sense of mischief. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 2 | 4 | 1 | 1,727 |
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith | Killer Movie Reviews | Andrea Chase | with a sigh of relief we come to the end of a trilogy that fell criminally short of all that is could have, and by all rights, should have been | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 1 | 4 | 1 | 1,727 |

Vanity Fair | Killer Movie Reviews | Andrea Chase | a lush, sprawling, sensual film that totters unevenly under the weight of its own ambition . . . an apt metaphor considering that its heroine has the same Achilles Heel. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 2 | 4 | 1 | 1,727 |

Sherlock Holmes | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | The film called "Sherlock Holmes" that has been raking in the money at the box office this Christmas season does not really exist at all. It's an illusion. A Jedi Mind Trick. | 5/10 | 10 | 5 | 10 | false | 4 | 10 | 1 | 1,729 |
W. | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | Stone's film is like an affectionate kick in the groin of a good old boy you'd like to have a beer with, or with W today, a near Beer. | 4/10 | 10 | 4 | 10 | false | 3 | 10 | 1 | 1,729 |
Inglourious Basterds | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | This is a FILM with blood in its veins, a heart in its body and a red hot engine in its chassis. It is alive with ideas and a geniune belief in the power of FILM to express them. | 4/4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | false | 3 | 4 | 1 | 1,730 |
Public Enemies | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | There are powerful images that sear into your brain upon contact with your eyes but PUBLIC ENEMIES clearly wants to alienate the audience as much as it engages them. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Chloe | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | This isn't a particularly deep story but it does a good job at making what would be obvious in a Skinemax movie much more ambiguous. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
The Ghost Writer | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | I am consistently amazed at Roman Polanski's seemingly effortless mastery of cinematic craft. There is no wasted energy and no indulgence. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Dracula | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | This is sort of a Saturday Night Fever version of the story with a stylish, afro'ed Langella walking around with an open shirt looking for girls to take to his Castle Disco. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Piranha | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | Dante and Sayles have a great deal of fun with the fact that their story of government created killer fish is completely ridiculous. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |

The Haunting in Connecticut | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | The movie works hard for your money and should theoretically be scarier than the cut rate television production. But it's not. Not by a mile. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
The Lovely Bones | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | The strangest thing about Jackson's approach is how chaste it is. The whole film is just a bit too tasteful to achieve real catharsis. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Shutter Island | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | Scorsese has more up his sleeve than a dead director's trademarked bag of tricks and with the unique challenges presented by the material he needed them. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Antichrist | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | Von Trier is a prankster so any attempt to guess at WTF he had in mind could just end up with the Danish auteur pulling your leg. The Fox may have said it best:"Chaos Reigns" | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | Ai Weiwei is such a laid back, calm and yet mischievous spirit that the film takes on a whole different, almost joyous tone. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Black Swan | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | Initially BLACK SWAN appears to be a psychological horror film about a ballerina who goes insane. But it's really about a filmmaker who goes insane-in good ways and bad. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Cockneys vs Zombies | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | Cockneys Vs. Zombies delivers exactly what is expected of a film called Cockneys Vs. Zombies. This is a farce first, horror film last. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Cruising | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | Friedkin makes the kind of films that a pod from Invasion of the Body Snatchers might make given the chance. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Dementia 13 | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | One of the many low budget shockers produced in the wake of Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho", "Dementia 13" is a surprisingly effective knockoff with unique qualities of its own. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
The Descent | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | Director Marshall has obviously kept his DVD player spinning for days studying all of the classics and simply taking everything he needed like a Vanilla Ice "Under Pressure" | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Drag Me to Hell | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | While it has the energy and the endless cinematic invention of his early work, the film's command of economical storytelling is something that once eluded Raimi. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Exorcist II: The Heretic | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | It may be that the best way to watch The Heretic is to shut off the soundtrack and play a CD of Goblin's Suspiria score as accompaniment. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Flyboys | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | It may indeed be inspired by a true story, but what we see onscreen is simply "Star Wars" set in some fantasy French air base circa 1917. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
House of Dark Shadows | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | The film is well mounted and stylishly produced. In what must've seemed like a luxury, Jonathan Frid had time to learn ALL his lines. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Inception | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | Nolan borrows from classic heist and caper movies to design the clockwork tension but this particular clock is more like Dali's dripping watch. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Invictus | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | INVICTUS works better than it deserves to as an old fashioned,predictable entertainment. In another filmmaker's hands the Capra-corn would be just too much. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Paranormal Activity | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | Expect less and you will appreciate it more. The film isn't unique or even very well made. Peli only seems able to come up with HALF of a good idea throughout the film. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Saw III | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | Images jump, blip, strobe, and shock like an epileptic seizure - all the result of director Darren Lynn Bousman's lack of trust in his screenplay. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | The truth about this Game of Shadows and its predecessor is that neither has a story worthy of its hero.

Star Trek | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | Somehow pulling off the trick of appealing to the wider mass audience with one foot in Star WARS, the most startling thing about this new TREK is how it avoids being AWFUL. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Sunshine | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | Garland and Boyle are nothing if not ambitious. They want us to consider the Big Questions about the importance of mankind as well as science versus fundamentalism. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
The Ambassador | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | Supposedly nothing is staged. Truthfully, so much of this film is stranger than fiction, it would require pure writing genius to come up with even a third of what transpires. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
The Fog | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | During this period, Carpenter and his fine collaborator the late Debra Hill were so good at crafting suspenseful, slow burn horror stories with multiple storylines. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
The Hurt Locker | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | A tough war picture in the tabloid journalist tradition of Sam Fuller, The Hurt Locker avoids most of the sentimentalizing and editorializing of other recent films about Iraq. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | This is the kind of movie where the lead character gets involved in a narrative so labyrinthine that he should eventually suspect himself at some point.

V/H/S | Kinetofilm | Brian Holcomb | The Filmmakers should've consulted one another re: their content-one more segment with a group of A-HOLES carrying on like the cast of JACKASS and my head may have exploded. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 1,731 |

War Dogs | Konexión | Israel Acosta Aroche | Not a strict comedy about weapon trading, is an overwhelming story about the flaws in the system (something that is pretty funny already without making any gags). [Full review in Spanish] | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,733 |

Kung Fu Panda | Kung Fu Cinema | Mark Pollard | Fighting action is as dynamic and creative as any live-action wire-fu match by Yuen Woo-ping while the story is a refreshingly simple tale. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 1,735 |
Saint Ralph | L.A. Weekly | Scott Foundas | Michael McGowan's direction is as flat as an asphalt road, and his script is gasping for air long before it enters the final stretch. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 1,736 |

The 40 Year Old Virgin | L.A. Weekly | Scott Foundas | An unconscionably funny sex farce that, by its end, turns into a tender and honest romance, an acute portrait of loneliness and, believe it or not, a musical. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,736 |
Asylum | L.A. Weekly | Ella Taylor | Rigor and beauty are nothing without a point, and if the point of Asylum is that a little romantic obsession goes a long way, 100 years of cinema have made sure that we knew that already. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 1,736 |
Bad News Bears | L.A. Weekly | Scott Foundas | The movie's lazy slacker charm is distinctly Linklater's own, as is the decision to cast Billy Bob Thornton as the team's irascible, perpetually drunk coach, Buttermaker. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 1,736 |

The Cave | L.A. Weekly | Tim Grierson | Bruce Hunt's directing debut displays a cold-blooded efficiency and refreshing lack of Michael Bay-ish hyperactivity in what is otherwise a solid if unspectacular action-horror flick. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,736 |
Ethan Mao | L.A. Weekly | Tim Grierson | Nobody onscreen seems to realize that this deadeningly self-serious treatment of family dysfunction is so overwrought that it becomes a spot-on satire of low-budget ineptitude. | 1/5 | 5 | 1 | 5 | false | 0 | 9 | 2 | 1,736 |
Four Brothers | L.A. Weekly | Scott Foundas | It's a finely tuned Motor City engine. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,736 |
