EYEboy's rating
Nothing here you haven't seen before if you're a fan of Italian westerns, but DAY OF ANGER develops its plot and characters carefully, keeping you on the edge of your seat throughout. Van Cleef is terrific--this is surely one of his finest moments--yet he's matched stride-for-stride by Giuliano Gemma and the rest of the cast, with solid performances from many bit players. The direction and camera work are first rate, also. It may fall just short of Leone and the first Django movie, but it's still a first-rate spaghetti western.
Thank you, Hollywood, for insulting my intelligence once again. Not that I expect the subtleties of Shakespeare from a horror movie rehash; but, in today's Hollywood, while an insultingly stupid script and walking-cigar-store-Indian acting is expected.
The new MUMMY is probably no worse than a lot of Hollywood action fare out there now; what's amazing is that people get paid to make this swill. Even more insulting is that the original was such a classic, and while this is certainly no remake, it is little more than a computer game with a bigger budget (and minus the interactivity). It'll be more than two years before I waste this much of my precious time and money

Talk about a missed opportunity--Lodge Kerrigan ruins what could've been a compelling first-person study of schizophrenia by throwing in two-bit horror movie shock elements, the same old "serial killer" garbage that is de rigeur for indie movies in the '90s, and a lot of pointless, terrible acting (save for Peter Greene, who is so good in this that it's almost painful to watch at times). This could've been a terrific study of a harrowing illness; Kerrigan's use of sound is particularly compelling, and the subjective nature of the story underscores that effect. But too many stupid plot elements and a gaggle of insipid performances sap much of the plot's innate tension. By the time the "fingernail" scene arrived, I was rolling my eyes. I expect this kind of thing from Wes Craven; from Kerrigan, an obviously talented and daring director,
