25 Words or Less: Critical Weight Loss Formula
Feeling bloated from overly long film reviews? Then we recommend Movie 666 movie capsules - edible, low fat, tasty, available in positive, negative, and strategically ambiguous flavors.
 |
BLACK HAWK DOWN |
| (Ridley Scott, 2002) Scott’s photoslick war kick - G.I. Jane, Gladiator - continues with this action exploiter disguised as serious drama.
— Demon |
 |
DONNIE DARKO |
| (Richard Kelly, 2001) Darko comedy. Horror and time travel pic probably sits best with ex-Eighties adolescents from suburbia. But overall, a very creative, fun and watchable indy.

 |
THE DEVIL’S BACKBONE (El Espinazo del Diablo) |
| (Guillermo Del Toro, 2001) Spanish Civil War boarding school ghost story thriller is spooky, stagey, effectively anti-capitalist.
— Demon |
 |
IMPOSTER |
| (Gary Fleder, 2002) Sensory overload and no credibility to the plotting of this future noir thriller - but the end is a bang.
— Demon |
 |
ENDURANCE: SHACKLETON’S LEGENDARY ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION |
| (George Butler, 2001) Documentary about polar voyage gone wrong. See this movie and you will never complain about the cold again.
— Demon |
 |
KUNG POW: ENTER THE FIST |
| (Steve Oedekerk, 2002) No pow in this kung fu parody. Ten minutes of this would be funny, but 90 is unbearable.
— Demon |
 |
THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING |
| (Peter Jackson, 2001) Epic, escapist, all around good actioner. Movie 666 salutes the return of Christopher Lee.
— Demon |
 |
THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS |
| (Wes Anderson, 2001) Message to dumb people: Stop making movies about smart people! Too flip, no script: sheep dip.
— Alicia Frobisher |
 |
VANILLA SKY |
| (Cameron Crowe, 2001) “It’s all a dream” premise is vanilla - like it or leave it. Cruise is good as good looking yuppie turned bad looking yuppie.
