Coherence [2013]

Coherence
James Ward Byrkit
3/7

It’s like watching someone play AD&D.

Death Wish 4: The Crackdown [1987]

Death Wish 4: The Crackdown
J. Lee Thompson
3/6

Danny Trejo, and another Star Trek alumni; Tuvok. But we didn’t get to see his boobs.

The Overnight [2015]

The Overnight
Patrick Brice
4/6

At first it was boring. Then it was surprising. Except it wasn’t really. But in a good way. I also liked the fact that it was only 75 minutes.

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. [2015]

The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
Guy Ritchie
5/6

That was a lot better than expected!

Safety Last [1923]

Safety Last
Fred C. Newmeyer
4/6

Funnier than most modern comedies.

Ghost World [2001]

Ghost World
Terry Zwigoff
6/6

Wish he made more movies.

Death Wish 3 [1985]

Death Wish 3
Michael Winner
3/6

The first movie had a surprise-casting of Jeff Goldblum as random street punk, the second had Laurence Fishburne, and in this one we find the other guy from Bill & Ted. It’s going donwhill, I think.

But then we got to see councelor Troi’s boobies, so it’s okay.

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice [2010]

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
Jon Turtletaub
3/6

Not as bad as you’d think. But not that good either. Bit of a stretch to call it a remake of that Fantasia-thing though.

Fantasia 2000 [1999]

Fantasia 2000
a whole heap of directors
1/2

The problem with these isn’t the cartooney visuals–I enjoy Milkdrop as much as anyone, but they’re trying so hard to find the dullest, non-abrasivest music possible. Ok, The Rite of Spring is good–keep that. But ditch the rest and add some Penderecki and Shostakovich or something.

Fantasia [1940]

Fantasia
variuous directors
1/2

This premiered just a couple of weeks before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Weird, huh? At least this time around they cancelled Hitler II. I hope.
