(C-) A few neat kills, but mostly dull and formless 60s thriller.

(B) Yet another Amicus anthology, and probably the best of them, not that they vary much.

(B+) Anderson's real breakout film. I don't like it as much as the next two, but it's still a very good comedy.

(C+) Standard 50's sci-fi horror, but with annoying teens. It passes the time, but you can do a lot better in the genre.

(C-) Has a few decent slasher-styel scenes, but this is mostly just a dull, flavorless, almost TV-movie esque thriller.

(B) Underappreciated, low-key psycho-pic from Britain. The twist ending doesn't work, but you can ignore it.

(B) After the wild beginning this proves to be a suprisingly low-key crime film, at least until the inexplicable ending. Also contains some stuff I could've lived with out seeing, but it's good in general.

(B-) This Miike film is a seemingly endless pastiche of fight scenes as our titular character tries to get revenge on all of humanity. They also throw in a bit of nihilistic philosophizing. Weird stuff and overlong, but somehow compelling.

(B+) A fine, contemplative and honor-obsessed contemporary western starring/directed by Tommy Lee Jones and written by Guillermo Arriaga. Good stuff.

(A) McCarthy's terse, inevitable crime tale is combined with the Coen bros. utter mastery of cinematic language to great effect. Probably the best film to get a theatrical release this year.

(B-) Not as much fun as the later "Empire of the Ants" made by Gordon the next year, but this is still a bit of campy fun. Also, the giant chicken attack is arguably the greatest scene in all of film.

(B+) I was skeptical, but this proved to be a very endearing effort. Quite funny, and the action ain't bad either.

(C+) Bava's mastery of the gothic visual style is in evidence, as always, but the plot/acting/dubbing are so dubious that it can't help but suffer from these factors.

(B) Bava's last B&W film, and a very early giallo. Surprisingly likable characters and a typically elegant visual style, though the final revelations are silly, as they always are in giallo.
