Pre-2020 Film Reviews
Anatomy of Hell (2004)
Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: Though mercifully short, ‘Anatomy of Hell’ is a hard watch, composed of dull, pseudo-profound dialogues broken by shock sequences designed to reinforce its putative thesis that female bodies are disgusting. It’s not recommended, but—if you can bypass the untenable literal reading its characters propose—this erotic experiment is more thought-provoking than its detractors suggest.
Auf Wiedersehen to Hollywood (1950)
Darby O’Gill and the Little People (1959)

The English Patient (1996)
- Excerpt: Phantom of the Desert
Francis (1950)
James Plath @ Family Home Theater

- Excerpt: Redemption through victory
Schindler’s List (1993)

THX 1138 (1971)
Chris Barsanti @ Eyes Wide Open
- Excerpt: George Lucas’s most grown-up piece of work is, oddly enough, his first feature.
Titanic (1997)
- Excerpt: That sinking feeling
Top Secret! (1984)
James Plath @ Family Home Theater
The Wobblies (1979)
Sarah E Boslaugh @ The Arts STL
- Excerpt: Overall, it’s pretty rough and ready, but fast-moving and never dull, and offers a welcome challenge to the slick approach taken in so many documentary series now proliferating on Netflix and the like.
