[movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       F      National Lampoon's Gold Diggers (2004)      "Priesler plays the whole thing as a flamboyant freak show, smacking the audience... with tasteless gags and grotesque extremes of human behavior and calling it humor."

[dvd review]      MSN.com            Near Dark (1987)      "... both ferocious and lyrical, a moody horror film with the frontier community romanticism of a John Ford Western and the violent ferocity of a Sam Peckinpah film." [movie review]      Seanax.com       C+      Neighbor 13 (2005)      "Though it's rarely dull, first-time feature director Yasuo Inoue has a better eye for intriguing and unusual imagery than dramatic staging..."

[movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B+      Nine Queens (2002)      "While Bielinsky doesn't bring anything new to the table, he has a smartly engineered scheme and a good poker face, and he's mastered the essential art of misdirection."
