• Absolute Power (1997)

  [6/10]

  "Eastwood does manage the suspense of Absolute Power very well. So well that I didn't really notice many of the flaws until I watched the film a second time. So, I recommend seeing Absolute Power once for the pleasant thrill, but then don't pollute the pleasant memory with closer scrutiny of repeated viewings."

• Poseidon Adventure, The (1972)

  [7/10]

  "Classic disaster fare with good character development and some interesting religious philosophy thrown into the mix."

• Young Frankenstein (1974)

  [8/10]

  "Even if you haven't ever seen Young Frankenstein, you have probably heard at least half of the dialog from ubiquitous quotes and samples. The script by Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks spoofs its predecessors and the black-and-white horror movie genre but these spoofs synergistically create an icon of comedy."
