2/5
     (2004)      "I got a strong sense of Guy Maddin's sense of his own talent, but I'm not as convinced as he is." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3/5
     (2002)      "It's a sort of rollercoaster ride through the salvaged wreckage of a hundred similar movies." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3/5
     (1936)      "The most interesting thing about this film was its phenomenal re-enactment of the San Francisco earthquake." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3/5
     (1968)      "Yes, it is all incredibly silly. But it's also entertaining, funny, and charming." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3/5
     (1936)      "[A] snappy, funny film that spoofs the detective genre using the framework of Hammett's famous story." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3/5
     (2004)      "Intends to flay sanctimonious preaching, but ends up doing a little too much of it." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
4.5/5
     (1989)      "These are things that are instantly recognizable, images and words that will be remembered as long as movies are remembered." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3.5/5
     (1957)      "The supporting cast is remarkable, especially Red Buttons." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
4.5/5
     (1952)      "Its only flaw is a mildy silly plot contrivance that allows the stunning finale, but other than that it's just about perfect." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
4/5
     (1945)      "They seldom get any darker than this." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3/5
     (1998)      "I can accept [Huppert's] obsession, but not her love, which makes the movie come off significantly different than it was probably intended." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3.5/5
     (2001)      "Opens and closes with tour-de-force action, acting, and camera work. In the middle is some dead space." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
4/5
     (1997)      "Simple and simply creepy." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
4/5
     (2005)      "The film has most of the qualities that made the show so wonderful, including the most important one: the feeling that it's not enough." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
4/5
     (1941)      "The breathless pace, the good script, and the mostly fine performances made me more forgiving of the dated aspects of this film. Overall, though, it's Gary Cooper's film." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
2.5/5
     (2001)      "Suffers from the same problems that the "reality" television shows it satires suffer from." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
4.5/5
     (2001)      "If Kingsley does not win an Oscar for this role, there is no justice in the world." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
2/5
     (2000)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
2.5/5
     (2003)      "The problem is that they just aren't as funny as in the first film." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
4/5
     (2000)      "I watched, fascinated, as one of the most gifted athletes I have ever had the privilege to watch worked his magic." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
4/5
     (2004)      "It works best when it treats [the zombies] more as an impediment to be overcome by the sheer Britishness of the characters." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
4/5
     (1933)      "All the Codes in the world couldn't keep Mae West from being her typical seductive and sexy self." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
2/5
     (1997)      "It careens back and forth between slapstick, pathos, and unneccessary violence." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3/5
     (1945)      "A middle-of-the-pack entry in the series." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
2.5/5
     (1944)      "It's certainly not the worst film in the series, but it's pretty weak." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
2/5
     (1944)      "Scooby-Doo meets Sherlock Holmes." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
2.5/5
     (1942)      "The pacing is slack, the big mystery not mysterious enough, and the showdowns between Holmes and Moriarty a bit too silly for my taste." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3.5/5
     (1944)      "This is one of the most clever reimaginings of Doyle's stories to make it into this series of films." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
2/5
     (1942)      "It almost completely lacks the moody atmosphere and tight pacing of the previous two films." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3.5/5
     (1945)      "It's one of the best in the series, partly because it strays from formula and partly because it summons some genuine mystery." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3/5
     (1943)      "Once the fireworks start, though, it's nonstop action and suspense, with a particularly ingenious ending that pits Holmes against the killer's ego." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3/5
     (1946)      "The Rathbone/Bruce series of Sherlock Holmes films didn't exactly limp to a close, but it didn't go out on a high note either." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
2/5
     (1945)      "The film is marred by glacial pacing, its own silly premise, and a snowballing series of absurdities." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
2.5/5
     (1946)      "In this very short film ... so much comic relief feels like desperate attempts to pad an already skimpy story." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies

3.5/5
     (1965)      "Werner and Signoret were wonderful, and deserved their nominations." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
2.5/5
     (1975)      "The "me" generation discarded sexual norms when it suited them, and Cronenberg offers a variety of punishments for their hypocrisy." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3/5
     (2007)      "It's the execution that matters, and for the most part ... the formula is executed well." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3.5/5
     (1998)      "A good, old-fashioned romantic comedy." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3/5

3.5/5

2.5/5
     (1998)      "The Siege raises a lot of important questions about racism, free speech, and the power of government. It doesn't deal with them particularly effectively." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
2.5/5

2.5/5
     (1971)      "The most notable thing about it is its mixed message." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies   
  
3/5
     (2004)      "The film's saving grace is Danny Huston." [movie review]      Goatdog's Movies

3.5/5
