Movie reviews of The Massie Twins

The cuteness and the spattering of witty parodies aren’t enough to overcome the slowness, the repetition, and the lack of emotional content. Review

Politics in the ‘80s doesn’t feel considerably different than today; at the very least, it’s still extremely relevant, even if the public’s reactions have changed. Review

It’s too limited in scope to be unforgettable, though its production design and set decorations are more than adequate. Review

Chan’s flair for creative tussles knows no bounds. And the falls are tremendous. Review

Thanks to some unoriginal college initiation diversions, supporting roles line up to become fodder for the insatiable unnamable, though intentional humor occasionally spoils the mood. Review

Still a lot of fun, especially when the division of good and evil are so clearly defined, allowing for unambiguous, frenzied battles of righteousness. Review

It’s more of a moderate, procedural, cautionary tale (concerning man’s negative impact on nature), or even a war movie, than a futuristic adventure. Review

A nonstop adventure of sizable proportions. Review

It’s impossible to fully understand such an abstruse, experimental work, but the happenings on display are never dull. Review

Whether or not it’s an exercise in pointed symbolism or abstract surrealism or a manifestation of suicidal thoughts, it’s utterly mesmerizing. Review

It’s so freakish and routinely inscrutable that its imagery is alternately scary, obscene, dramatic, and hilarious. It simply doesn’t exist in any sort of analyzable reality. Review

It’s moderately amusing, but it has a difficult time justifying its own existence; it’s simply unnecessary to revisit the Seuss masterpiece yet again, especially when there’s no fresh angle from which to approach it. Review

Were it not for the odd moment of slapstick, the notions of playing god and of psychological torture and of uncontrollable rage would be genuinely terrifying. Review

It’s the kind of cautionary tale (with an astounding, if improbably hopeful, finale) that never loses its relevance. Review

A wonder of music and surreal visuals, frequently smushed together in entertainingly perverse ways. Review

The acting is mediocre, the dialogue is unconvincing, the characters are flimsy, and the story is shoddily constructed, but the tone is mostly serious, which helps counter the abundance of deficiencies in filmmaking techniques (and all of the unintentional hilarity). Review

It’s thrilling at times and action-packed at others, but it abandons the utter brilliance of select moments of outsmarting rather than outgunning the enemies. Review

Although Ivanhoe isn’t nearly as well-known as the many legends of Robin Hood, this medieval epic exists alongside Locksley’s own exploits, making for an amusing supplement to the more famous yarns. Review

Tightly scripted, with frequent near-misses and white-knuckle encounters, I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang is dark, dour, and devoid of comic relief. Review

An unforgettable finale, this early adaptation of a preeminent example of French literature is a must-see masterpiece of visual storytelling. Review

As audiences wait for the next moment of exposed flesh, they must also sit through numerous skiing montages. Review

The anticlimactic and mild nature of every confrontation soon becomes downright boring resulting in one of the weakest of all peplum pictures. Review

Not only is it edited together deftly, managing some hair-raising stunts, but it also looks as if shot without permits or permission. The realism is exceptional. Review

Brief bits of comedy supplement the viciousness, as well as asides for discussions on poetry and the reproductive system... Review
