"G. I. Samurai - Time Slip certainly delivers the action goods, but there's a lot of narrative fat in-between, as well as some flabby thinking in its execution."

"Director Tolga Ornek's 2005 documentary has an hallucinatory rhythm that's quite sensuous - but never in the service of romanticizing this nightmarish story of one of the greatest military slaughters in modern history."

"What would have garnered my undivided attention back in 1974 as a horny pre-teen, today seems tame and flat (if it had just been funnier...)."

"Sincerity and good intentions don't make classic films; good filmmaking makes classic films, and Gandhi suffers from all of the pretensions that go along with setting out to make a unimpeachable film for the ages."

"There's a nice emphasis on sweep and scope to these short animated fantasies, and while the animation (and humor) may be limited, Filmation's Ghostbusters: The Animated Series, Volume 2 still comes off surprisingly well twenty-two years later."
