26.
Superchick (1973, USA) Ed Forsyth
-
has redeeming facet
Hokey nonsense that lacks the "sleaze"
that makes movies like this worth watching.
27.
Tekkonkinkreet (2006, Japan) Michael
Arias
- a
must see [B]
Quite impressive Anime directed by an American.
A work of art to be certain, I have a feeling like this may age well.
30.
Otis (2008, USA) Tony Krantz -
worth seeing [C+]
Pretty awful, but then takes a total u-turn in
the final act that actually makes the film rather good. I'm not sure about this
Raw Feed stuff, but this is certainly their most interesting release to date.
32.
Magnum Force (1973, USA) Ted Post
- a must
see
If you can get past the dated cop-movie cliches,
there is actually a great deal to appreciate here.
