7/10
     (2009)      "Given my particular distaste for both remakes and rape-revenge movies, I was as surprised as anyone to find that this is a better horror movie than it probably should be." [movie review]      CampBlood.org   
  
4/10
     (2009)      "A boring retread that downgrades one of our great masked men to being a hillbilly with mommy issues and no sense for decorating. And if I wanted that, I'd rent Nell." [movie review]      CampBlood.org   
  
9/10
     (2009)      "A gooey, frenetic, raucous and mind-meltingly clever delight. This fabulously compact little morality tale is the most fun you'll ever have analyzing our economic collapse." [movie review]      CampBlood.org   
  
7/10
     (2009)      "An aggressively weird, suitably uneven and decidedly un-kid-friendly keg-stand of nostalgia for those unable to scrub the fever-dream of a series from their memories." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
5/10
     (2009)      "Likely has an audience out there, but I'm not it, nor are most of the people who will be checking it out for its much-hyped casting of Pattinson as a gay-experimenting Dalí." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
7/10
     (2009)      "A well-documented cautionary tale that should spark broader discussion of the integrity of those making our laws, and the larger implications of living a closeted life." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
6/10
     (2009)      "Lacks the polish, star power or distinct voice of brother-in-arms Milk, but pays earnest tribute to a man who shattered preconceptions about gays and people with AIDS." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
7/10
     (2009)      "Butch and Sundance ended their hetero romance in a shower of bullets, but here it's something to celebrate - a straight love story that doesn't leave anyone out in the cold." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
8/10
     (2008)      "Equal parts sweetness, melancholy and rage, Milk is a wonderfully immersive, warts-and-all journey into the gay community at a vital moment in civil rights history." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
9/10
     (1970)      "Unapologetic, ambitious, wonderfully vibrant, and more than deserving of a second chance from those who found it to be an unfair look at the lives of gay men in the 1960s." [dvd review]      AfterElton.com   
  
7/10
     (2008)      "An assured, creepy effort that skillfully integrates gay themes and characters into a straight-up horror story." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
7/10
     (2008)      "A charming tour through a wonderfully authentic New York City landscape that takes full advantage of the magic that the city offers to everyone, regardless of sexuality." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
7/10
     (2008)      "If you're not offended easily and like good camp you'll love Hamlet 2, a joke-a minute lampoon of tortured artists with a finale that shouldn't be missed." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
7/10
     (2008)      "A very funny Hollywood story with a gay character who doesn't mince or terrify the straight characters and comes out without being punished. If only this weren't a satire." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
8/10
     (2008)      "Themes of religious oppression, particularly of gay people, are especially pointed and unfortunately still relevant enough today to sting." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
10/10
     (2008)      "From its grim palette to its wonderfully eerie score, a departure from what Hollywood has always told us a superhero film should be ... Complex, unsettling, and rewarding." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
8/10
     (2008)      "Even were it not the title of one of ABBA's most beloved songs, this might just be the most aptly-titled movie of the year.Because my Mom is gonna loooooooove it." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
5/10
     (2008)      "Plot contrivances and erratic character choices reduce would could have been a frothy comedy into a confused, unsatisfying jumble that no amount of beefcake can rescue." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
5/10
     (2008)      "I don't know that achieving this kind of sexual freedom would be worth having to live around all these exhaustingly precocious people." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
7/10
     (2008)      "Shelter gives hope that gay romances have come of age." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
6/10
     (2007)      "Is it sidesplitting? No, but it's cute. Is it wonderfully wicked? No, but it's got a few twists and turns. Is it a classic? Probably not, but it's an encouraging move into a new kind of gay film and a story not often told." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
8/10
     (2007)      "When I read that Ryan Reynolds was playing not one, but three characters in this movie -- one of whom is gay -- my ticket pretty much bought itself. They had me at 'himbo'." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
7/10
     (2008)      "Much like Dawn's ill-fated gyno visit, a peek beneath the folds of this clever and surprisingly amusing little horror comedy holds a few surprises for curious gay viewers." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
5/10
     (1980)      "Is it offensive? Yes and no. It's insensitive, certainly. And I wouldn't want my mother watching it, lest she think I've been in a sling in the meatpacking district for most of my adult life." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
8/10
     (2007)      "Brutal, but not cruel." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
9/10
     (2007)      "A film that manages to be uncommonly thoughtful and sensitive to the complexity of its very faulted characters while still being relentlessly, brilliantly funny." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
6/10
     (2007)      "One of the most keenly perceptive comedies ever made about straight male bonding, fear of intimacy, and masculinity. Not to mention figure skating." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
6/10
     (2007)      "Like a Hong Kong 'pistol opera' only without any pistols, or shirts. I guess it's more of a 'nipple opera'." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
7/10
     (2007)      "A compelling character study of a man whose ego took down his career, and very nearly much more." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
6/10
     (2007)      "The cinematic equivalent of a drugstore-bought Whitman's Sampler: it's overly sweet, of questionable quality, and you appreciate it more in theory than in practice" [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
2/10
     (2007)      "It's a perfect title for a film so utterly lacking in worthwhile qualities that there is no logical reason to actually see it." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
8/10
     (2006)      "Cuaron has once again proven that he is a filmmaker to be reckoned with in both technical prowess and keen, quiet observance" [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
4/10
     (2006)      "It's experimental, so conduct an experiment of your own: go see the film, and when you wake up at the end, try to remember if you dreamed in black-and-white or in color." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
3/10
     (2006)      "Zwick wants to have his cake and eat it, too -- and the result is an uneven, overlong bore. Call it Ramifying the Stone." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
8/10
     (2006)      "Most people will probably find it pretentious, or too vague, or boring, or even silly. But give it a chance." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
7/10
     (2006)      "While the goal of our heroes may be to make it to university, the film's focus is clearly the journey, not the destination." [movie review]      AfterElton.com   
  
8/10
     (2006)      "A thrilling diamond in the rough -- a unique and fun addition to the haunting subgenre." [movie review]      Bloody Disgusting   
  
6/10
     (2006)      "More like Environmentally Responsible, Emotionally Resonant, and Sorta Bleak Feet." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
8/10
     (2006)      "Esteves's curious multi-strand film carries us to a quietly devastating conclusion." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
8/10
     (2006)      "A fun ride with a satisfying finish. Appropriately enough." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
7/10
     (2006)      "A better-than-average horror release in terms of blood and general intensity, but still a pale shadow of its blasting-out-of-the-gate predecessor." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
2/10
     (2006)      "Levinson has gone from Wag the Dog to "Screw the Pooch"." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
9/10
     (2006)      "The balance of brutal violence, wildly inappropriate humor, and easy, low-boil romance is nothing short of masterful... a hell of a good time." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
6/10
     (2006)      "Sometimes you just want to see pretty people in period costumes flying around in old-timey planes, swooning with impossible young love and screaming at the sky in rage." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
4/10
     (2006)      "This muddled late-career meditation on Hollywood artifice and ambition only captures brief flashes of the director's former glory. The rest just feels like a bad joke." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
8/10
     (2006)      "A fascinating bit of cinematic espionage... and for the most part, a total riot." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
6/10
     (2006)      "Would easily qualify as the most aggressively stupid movie of the year had it not been trumped by a movie about NASCAR." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
5/10
     (2006)      "The various sleights of hand performed by characters and filmmakers alike come off less as acts of magic and more as the clumsy parlor tricks of results-based filmmaking." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
6/10
     (2006)      "While Accepted isn't great, its genuine admiration for the scratch-and-dents of society lends it a certain unexpected sweetness." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies   
  
9/10
     (2006)      "The repeated sight of the family jumping out to push-start their dilapidated van is wonderfully simple: these people will keep pushing forward, together, no matter what." [movie review]      Freeze Dried Movies
