2005, EVILS OF THE NIGHT, FIGHTING WITH KIT CARSON, HOLLOW MAN 2, HOUSE
OF WHIPCORD, MEAT WEED MADNESS, SPLIT SECOND, VIDEO VIXENS, and WAY
DOWN SOUTH:


AUSTIN CITY LIMITS MUSIC FESTIVAL 2005 (reviewed by Geoffrey Miller,
overall score 60/100):
"With pedestrian camerawork and an occasionally thin sound mix, Austin
City Limits Music Festival 2005 is a little too 'public access
television' for its own good."

EVILS OF THE NIGHT (reviewed by David Johnson, overall score 70/100):
"I'm not sure which hedonistic beach these coeds flock too, but there's
something in the water that provokes intercourse in the middle of the
day in full view of bystanders and spontaneous bouts of lesbianism."

FIGHTING WITH KIT CARSON (reviewed by Ian Visser, overall score 70/100):
"Fighting with Kit Carson is the kind of entertainment that, quite
literally, doesn't get made anymore. It's tough to imagine in today's
world of on-demand and portable movies, but in the 1930s and 40s, the
only media entertainment aside from radio was the local movie theater."

HOLLOW MAN 2 (reviewed by David Johnson, overall score 78/100):
"Aren't sequels supposed to up the ante?"

HOUSE OF WHIPCORD (reviewed by Steve Evans, overall score 64/100):
"Here is that rarest of exploitation films -- utterly pretentious
without even the redeeming values of gratuitous nudity and violence that
might recommend it to the grindhouse crowd."

MEAT WEED MADNESS (reviewed by David Johnson, overall score 35/100):
"Here are a list of things that I would rather attach to my groin with a
hot-glue gun instead of watching Meat Weed Madness again: my car keys,
nine rusty hex screws, an empty bottle of Sprite, a Radio Flyer wagon, a
feral cat, the two-disc special edition of I, Robot, the American
Heritage Dictionary, a scoop of garlic mashed potatoes, the Declaration
of Independence, a spark plug, and my left foot."

SPLIT SECOND (reviewed by David Johnson, overall score 72/100):
"Clive Owen is great as usual, but on the whole, Split Second is a dull,
tedious grind, much like the main character's life. I was constantly
checking the 'time elapsed' numbers on my DVD player."

VIDEO VIXENS (reviewed by David Johnson, overall score 68/100):
"Twenty-six breasts ensue."

WAY DOWN SOUTH (reviewed by Bill Gibron, overall score 40/100):
"Between the problematic pidgin English and the tainted tribal
tendencies of the dance sequences (there is a fine line between heritage
and hatred), there hasn't been this much stereotyping since D. W.
Griffith gave 'birth' to a nation."
