There's something kitschy about Howard the Duck that makes it fun to watch. It tried hard and provided you're not a huge stick in the mud, there's something in this movie for everyone.- IGN

Some of it is a bit too goofy ā I could do without the overly slapstick antics of the goofy paintballer who finds out a paintball gun is not much use against Jason ā but the comedy is still an appreciated aspect of the film, and it's nice to finally have a Friday the 13th film where someone says they've seen enough horror movies to drive away from the scary guy in the mask standing in the road.- IGN

The movie is not Oscar caliber by any means. The acting is spare and without much passion.. Sure the movie is worth one or two stars at best. But it's a hell of a ride nonetheless.- IGN

It's a strange, hypnotic, completely fresh vision, not of the future per se, but into Terry Gilliam's own mind.- IGN

Be sure to watch the film all the way through the end credits for a clever post-credit cookie (a rarity for this era).- IGN

For those who enjoy indulging in an exciting, moody, stylized cop drama molded from the best of templates and carved out of '80s pop art, To Live and Die in LA is a truly great way to spend an evening.- IGN

The movie has a much more open feel than Argento's other films and offers an interesting counter point to his work. The film also exercises Argento's effects work. There are several great scenes where a swarm of flies comes to Jennifer's rescue.- IGN

It's funny. It's sad. It's imaginative. It's great sci-fi, and terrific family entertainment. In short, Back to the Future is brilliant.- IGN

Cocoon has its flaws, to be sure, but it's an ambitious, visually stirring piece of sci-fi drama. The performances from the cast (both young and old) are terrific, and visual effects are quite gorgeous.- IGN

Big ambitions inspire great designs; little things bring them to life. Nausicaa has both in abundance.- IGN

I was at least able to follow the plot (which is not to say it wasn't as ludicrous as any Bond film -- just that I could follow it). But most of all this movie has camp value -- it's fun to sit there and make fun of every last detail, and that redeems it quite a bit.- IGN

Directed with a threadbare and minimalist style by producer Charles Band, Trancers is the ultimate science fiction cult classic.- IGN

With Private Resort, I guarantee you'll be laughing well after it ends - and if you do it right, your chuckles will probably have precious little to do with the film itself.- IGN

The end result here is comically entertaining, but entertaining nevertheless - although if you are conditioned to enjoy only those very complicated scenes from newer movies this might be laughable in a less enjoyable way.- IGN

Even if it doesn't quite stand with the 36th Chambers and King Boxers, Last Hurrah for Chivalry is a very good movie, both because it features a great many well-executed fight scenes and explores the early days of Woo's cinematic style.- IGN

Watching the film takes some patience. You have moments where there's 10 seconds or more of silence in between dialogue. When it gets violent, it's not the psychotic glee we're used to from Quentin Tarentino and his acolytes, it's simply the way things were in that life, unvarnished and brutally honest.- IGN

Directed by Barry Levinson (this was his sophomore theatrical feature following Diner), the film is quite moving. Redford delivers a great, soft-spoken, naturalistic performance and he's paired with a solid all-star cast. Randy Newman's score is absolutely terrific, too. One of the best he's ever done.- IGN

No, it's not the final movie in the series, but it's the end of a particular era for Jason, and it's a good way to go out for the hockey masked killer.- IGN

Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner are wonderful together. They look great when they're in bed together and they look even better when they're fighting. Throw Danny DeVito into the mix and you've got a very enjoyable, watchable trio of heroes.- IGN
