The Reviews

Since 2000, I've bee writing film criticism for a number of websites. Now my complete archive of published writing will be housed within the spatious confines of Independent Thought Alarm. Each review contains a little info about the film, where and when it was originally published, and my official rating system: good, bad, or ugly. Some are from the earliest phases of my career, and are very brief. Some are as recent as the last few weeks, and are painfully long. The ITA is the definitive version of these reviews; typos and errors that appeared on the original reviews have been corrected before they made it here. All reviews originally appearing as part of "The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly" have been broken up and listed by title; if you want to read them in their original 3-part form they are all available on Movie Poop Shoot. If you do find any errors or typos please contact me. It's going to take time to get all the reviews I've written onto this site, so look for updates every week or so.
