- Sound of My Voice
- Review
- A time travel story with no time travel, Sound of My Voice is intimate science fiction with only one concern: constructing a smart, incredibly acted puzzle for viewers to lose themselves in.

- The Dictator
- Review
- Sacha Baron Cohen tries to recapture the glory of his prior foreigner-in-America culture comedy, but a lack of heart and diminishing returns on the successful gimmick turns this into a movie of decent jokes a decade too late.

- Review
- When sushi becomes art as much as it is food, the art of presenting it on film becomes transformative not only to the cuisine, but the people who make it.

Me and some friends went to see this in theaters. Hours of animation assignments kinda can drive you nuts...
Kind of an awful movie, but it has one of my all-time favorite lines ; "Sir, I have reason to believe a group of ninjas may be heading this way." HOW DO YOU SAY THAT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE?!?!?!
Though I do love how when the Ninjas are creepily moving out of the shadows in the warehouse, whispering things like "Death", "Blood", "Kill," one such warrior makes sure to not forget to whisper "Ninjaaaa...."
Fucking brilliant.
Best ending ever
I want to see "Half-Good: Bad Boys II". Someone has to love it like I do.
A little surprised that anyone found positives about this flick, but you made good points.
Yeah, really didn't like this one.
I really disliked the film. It meandered and went beyond plot inconsistencies- it simply gave up. It seemed as pages of the script were lost or had coffee spilled on it. Sections simply didn't make sense. There were awkward transitions and dialogue. The only good thing about the film was the special effects and watching CGI blood for hours got boring fast.
Rorie, I believe the only reason you created a Half-Good feature about Ninja Assassin is that you like Ninjas and Samurai. Nothing wrong with that.
@GiveUpNed: @VinceNotVance: I am definitely thinking about making some kind of worst-of-all-time feature for the site. It's a little too easy to be snarky and snide in that kind of thing, but we'll see!
shit.
Amazing video
This movie should have been directed by Godfrey Ho.
wait...really? Huh...
Hmm, CGI blood.
Fuck, now that Rorie is dead who's going to sail Screened!
The video content on this site is amazing!
I've never seen this movie, but man every scene showed here had my laughing at least a little bit. Awesome vid Rorie!
well, i didnt take the movie as nothing more than a ninja action movie for the 18-34 male demographic to enjoy. when i was watching it i didnt get the feeling that the movies aim was to give us a riviting story along with action and blood. i believe it was just a movie that wanted to give us acting and blood.
Han from Tokyo Drift was recognizable in this movie. He's the dude who gets his hands chopped off.
God damn, Joey and Rorie really hit their stride with this one. Great opening, the production matched the silliness or the source material, I swear one of the best videos yet!
@Rorie said:
That would be really fun though. Looking forward to it.
I was waiting for some praise for the movies portrayal of ninjas blending in and coming out of shadows, which was by far the most impressive thing for me at least. Otherwise, great video!
