Movie Corner

Site Map for the Movie Review Home Page

OK, OK, so I see too many movies and haven't been reading enough books. I've been posting mini-reviews at IMDB (recent reviews * * not-so-recent reviews, IMDB movie vote history). I also have some Lord of the Rings mini-reviews up at TheOneRing.Net (ROTK); I also write some movie commentary under the pseudonym of JRandomRohirrim at TORN.

Thanks to Evelyn Leeper for all her work on rec.arts.movies.reviews over the years. I stumbled over some old reviews I'd written years ago that she'd archived. I've downloaded them and have added them to this collection of short movie reviews.

I've done a full-fledged movie geek site for The Road, which is being filmed nearby. I've also written about being an extra for She's Out of My League.

Note: Many of these reviews mention the movie or "Chuck" scale. The "Chuck" scale was the predecessor of the Internet Movie Database, so a "7" on the "Chuck" scale corresponds to a "7" in the Internet Movie Database rating scale.
