10 One-Star Amazon Reviews Of Great American Films

1.Citizen Kane, "Almost as bad… asAnnie Hall."

Rotten Tomatoes score: 100%

Top critic review: Owen Gleiberman,Entertainment Weekly (May 1, 1991): "Fifty years after its release,Citizen Kane still seems richer, bolder, more spectacularly alive than any other film of the studio-system era. Regardless of how many times you've seen Orson Welles' 1941 masterpiece, it always feels like the first time."

2.The Godfather, "The only good thing about this film is the music."

Rotten Tomatoes score: 100%

Top critic review: Vincent Canby,The New York Times (March 16, 1972): "Francis Ford Coppola has made one of the most brutal and moving chronicles of American life ever designed within the limits of popular entertainment."

3.Casablanca, "Corrupt movie used by seducing spirits (demons) to lead the world to hell."

Rotten Tomatoes score: 97%

Top critic review: Bosley Crowther,The New York Times (Nov. 27, 1942): "Yes, indeed, the Warners here have a picture which makes the spine tingle and the heart take a leap… They have used Mr. Bogart's personality, so well established in other brilliant films, to inject a cold point of tough resistance to evil forces afoot in Europe today. And they have so combined sentiment, humor and pathos with taut melodrama and bristling intrigue that the result is a highly entertaining and even inspiring film."

4.Raging Bull, "I found it very amateurish… sunk with the weight of its own pretensions."

Rotten Tomatoes score: 98%

Top Critic review: Amy Taubin,The Village Voice (Aug. 1, 2000): "The film's claim to greatness lies in Scorsese's devastating critique of the very codes of masculinity that shaped him as a filmmaker, and in Robert De Niro's performance, through which that critique is made flesh."

5.Singin' in the Rain, "This must be the biggest conspiracy of all time… the plot is cheesy and uninteresting."

Rotten Tomatoes score: 100%

Top Critic review: Roger Ebert,Chicago Sun-Times (Feb. 14, 1999): "There is no movie musical more fun thanSingin' in the Rain, and few that remain as fresh over the years…[the film] is a transcendent experience, and no one who loves movies can afford to miss it."

6.Gone With the Wind, "The acting was terrible and the plot ridiculous."

Rotten Tomatoes score: 96%

Top Critic review: Kevin Thomas,Los Angeles Times (March 2, 1989): "Gone With the Wind endures and deepens with the passing of time because Scarlett and Rhett are as modern as its open ending.

[Clark] Gable and [Vivian] Leigh seem so born to play Rhett and Scarlett that it's easy to overlook how accomplished their performances are."

7.Lawrence of Arabia, "WERE THERE NO OTHER MOTION PICTURES MADE IN 1962? HOW ON EARTH THIS WON BEST PICTURE IS BEYOND ME."

Rotten Tomatoes scoe: 98%

Top Critic review: Kevin Thomas,Washington Post (Feb. 3, 1989): "LikeGone With the Wind orBen Hur,Lawrence is too emotionally overpowering for critical reservations. You're captivated from the start."

8.Schindler's List, "Anyone who makes a feel good movie about the Holocaust is a total crackpot."

Rotten Tomatoes score: 98%

Top Critic review: Owen Gleiberman,Entertainment Weekly (Dec. 17, 1993): "Schindler's List is a film whose meanings are to be found less in its uplifting outline than in its harrowing flow of images — images of fear, hope, horror, compassion, degradation, chaos, and death."

9.Vertigo, "Trite, hackneyed, banal – I could go on and on. I hardly blame Ms. Hedren, and I cry for Jimmy Stewart." [For the record, I wouldn't blame Tippi Hedren either, because she wasn't in the movie.]

Rotten Tomatoes score: 98%

Top Critic review: Peter Stack,San Francisco Chronicle (Oct. 18, 1996): "In its dark heart, the film is a sorrowful contemplation of love and the veils that manipulate sexual passions. It is a taste of romantic obsession, of flirtation and deceit."

10.The Wizard of Oz, "The only reason to watchThe Wizard of Oz is if you're playingDark Side of the Moon at the same time."

Rotten Tomatoes score: 99%

Top Critic review: Todd McCarthy,Variety (Nov. 5, 1998): "A work of almost staggering iconographic, mythological, creative and simple emotional meaning, at least for American audiences, this is one vintage film that fully lives up to its classic status."

Song Reviews - Edge of a Broken Heart by Vixen

Warning - I'm about to admit to liking something that I should probably hate. Long before I even attempted this blog, I was making fun of bad music videos and bad music, and one of my favorite punching bags was the mid-eighties all-girl pop/metal band, Vixen. It's sort of hard to see why, considering that nobody remembers them, but I can explain it, I think.I recently got to thinking about why I chose to make fun of this briefly moderately successful and largely forgotten band. Is it because they’re all women? Absolutely not. I happen to like The Runaways and Girlschool, and they were both all-girl rock bands. Is it because they were a pop band? Hardly. I’m a huge fan of power pop, and this isn’t far off from mid and late eighties power pop bands like Enuff Z’Nuff and the latter day Cheap Trick, both bands that I like.Is it because Edge of a Broken Heart sucks? No, actually. I’ve recently been able to admit to myself that I kind of like this song, to my eternal shame. It’s a guilty pleasure. And that's the reason - I couldn't admit to myself that I actually liked this, so I listened to it and made mean jokes about it.I can also admit that these girls aren’t bad musicians. The singer has a good voice and if she let herself go a little more, she’d be very enjoyable to listen to. The instrumentalists aren’t bad, either. They aren’t extraordinary, at least as far as I can hear, but they’re a tight, professional unit. I love the guitar riff and the guitar solo here is quite good, and the bassline is noticeable, which is a plus – there aren’t enough good bass parts in rock music, and I always appreciate being able to say anything about the way a bass is played in a song. The only problem I have with Vixen is that they’re bland. There’s no personality to this. I’m wondering if their handlers at the record label had them tone it down so as not to threaten their potential, largely male audience. It’s a possibility, and it’s unfortunate. Apparently, they were veterans on the Sunset Strip club scene for a long time before they got a record deal.Admittedly, there’s also the possibility that they would have just been another lame hair metal band if given the chance to do what they wanted to. In fact, it’s probably pretty likely. But it’s a shame that they weren’t given the same chances as their male counterparts to make crappy music. At the very least, they would have stood out amongst the crowd of mediocrity. That’s not necessarily a good thing, but it’s something, I guess.And yes, I know that this song was co-written by Richard Marx. I can't stand that guy. The other writer? Fee Waybill from The Tubes. If you know anything about The Tubes, that's kind of shocking and not surprising at all both at once. Do yourself a favor and click that link. That's The Tubes. You're welcome.
