Justice League: The New Frontier (2008)

There's a little too much gore in places, almost all the male characters have identical faces, and Superman's role in the story is smaller than I'd prefer. Taking that all into consideration, however, I still find this an excellent movie -- I find it to be the best superhero film made in the last several years, and that's including the live-action ones.

8/10

Radio Free Albemuth (2010)

I'm both a Philip K. Dick fan and an Alanis Morissette fan, so you'd think combining the two would serve as a winning formula for me. Not so -- not with this adaptation.

I'll use the floating heads of the movie poster as a visual aid to describe how I feel about the film itself.

The actors all look half asleep, bored, confused, and/or constipated; that's the whole movie in a nutshell.

On the plus side, Alanis is an adequate actress; if she had better material to work with, perhaps she could have been good.

6/10
