Films and the critics who hate them (732 movies items)

"Fantasies that are gratuitously sexist and Fascist (macho whoring and warmongering), and whose roots reach all the way back to post-hippie paranoia, feed the tangled plot-lines of a movie that... should disappoint even the teenage wet-dreamers. - Derek Adams, Time Out A wildly sophomoric and stupid cartoon celebrating gore, rape and bad music. - Barry Walters, San Francisco Examiner"

"Collection of animated tales centering around a green rock said to be the source of all evil, with a real "killer" heavy metal soundtrack. The movie was so-so, but I think back in 1981 if you were stoned out of your mind this would have been quite the crowd pleaser. Had a definite 17-year-old boy feel to it (every cartoon segment featured some huge-breasted, scantily clad woman getting it on with the "hero", usually a nerdy, physically attractive substitute obviously intended to be a proxy for t"
