Hoppers (2026) 97% 6/10 EDIT “Without a little heartache, few of the laughs have enough staying power on their own.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2026 Full Review The Great Gatsby (1974) 40% 4/10 EDIT “It offers a potent message, but not one that generates much entertainment value.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Witchfinder General (1968) 94% 7/10 EDIT “Price is particularly savage and cruel (one-note and arc-less, but perfectly adorned in Puritan garb, convincingly exhibiting an unwavering wickedness), enabling him to be worthy of his upcoming, beastly comeuppance.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2026 Full Review The Quest (1996) 14% 4/10 EDIT “Nearly the last half of the movie is the competition itself, exhibiting stereotypically-dressed entrants from numerous countries steadily eliminating one another as viewers cheer and jeer.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Bloodsport (1988) 48% 5/10 EDIT “It may be focused rather single-mindedly on ruthless hand-to-hand combat, accentuating muscly he-men who are often shirtless, but the repetition isn’t too bad.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Lionheart (1990) 42% 6/10 EDIT “Though it crawled to get there, the conclusion is satisfying, even if too neat and tidy and predictable.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2026 Full Review The Island of Dr. Moreau (1977) 52% 5/10 EDIT “Even with the notable source material, the dependable stars, and the all-around morbidness of this sci-fi/horror spectacle, the pacing is a touch slow.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Malibu Express (1985) 2/10 EDIT “Everything that isn’t a straightforward sex scene just isn’t approached with much care.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Point of No Return (1993) 50% 4/10 EDIT “The film thrives on cinematic timing – or overly convenient near-misses and fortuitous circumstances during deadly confrontations – which cheapens the impact of missions.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2026 Full Review The Wicked Lady (1983) 6/10 EDIT “It’s not particularly original, though the cast does a fine job with the limited script.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2026 Full Review The To Do List (2013) 55% 3/10 EDIT “A few scenes are amusing, but for the most part, the film substitutes genuine hilarity with overwrought raunchiness.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Saturday the 14th (1981) 9% 1/10 EDIT “This has to be one of the most senseless of all horror/comedy hybrids, failing at every concept it attempts to parody.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Double Team (1997) 10% 2/10 EDIT “This just might be one of the stupidest action movies ever made.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Deadly Eyes (1982) 43% 6/10 EDIT “The chaos of the climax, with limb-chewing bloodshed, is quite entertaining.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Mulholland Dr. (2001) 83% 2/10 EDIT “Made by Lynch for Lynch – everyone else hoping to be brought into the fold, or even merely entertained, are evidently inconsequential and irrelevant.” – Gone With The Twins Mar 2, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 46% 7/10 EDIT “With cynical wit and some pleasingly eccentric supporting characters, it's an engaging update to the Ealing masterpiece.” – Gone With The Twins Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Vanishing Point (1971) 65% 8/10 EDIT ““Vanishing Point” lives on as an unrivaled spectacle of uncensored fun and excitement. It’s definitely not your average chase flick.” – Gone With The Twins Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 64% 6/10 EDIT “It’s fantasy of the most straightforward, unsophisticated kind, with a decent sense of adventure, which is almost enough to counteract the mediocre dialogue and the imitation of other recent pictures.” – Gone With The Twins Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 25% 3/10 EDIT “A fun idea with a thrilling premise, but the execution is ludicrous.” – Gone With The Twins Jan 21, 2026 Full Review All You Need Is Kill (2025) 83% 6/10 EDIT “It’s purposefully stylized, but it’s not the most straightforwardly pleasing animation.” – Gone With The Twins Jan 19, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 5/10 EDIT “Though the brunt of this middle chapter wraps up all of its fresh tangents with a decent conclusion, it’s also quite apparent that the parting shots are just another tease for another sequel.” – Gone With The Twins Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Greenland 2: Migration (2026) 49% 6/10 EDIT “Perhaps the most unique aspect of this production is its unlikely, optimistic perspective.” – Gone With The Twins Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Planet of the Apes (2001) 42% 5/10 EDIT “Instead of ratcheting up to an indelible conclusion (which doesn’t provide solutions, like in the 1968 original), the focus shifts to large-scale battles with nonsensical duels.” – Gone With The Twins Jan 3, 2026 Full Review Bluebeard's Eighth Wife (1938) 50% 8/10 EDIT “In the world of Lubitsch’s love stories, contention can be quite alluring.” – Gone With The Twins Jan 3, 2026 Full Review The Punisher (1990) 24% 4/10 EDIT “The script is just generic enough that it’s difficult to care too much about the characters and their outcomes.” – Gone With The Twins Jan 3, 2026 Full Review
