Extract
A classic Judge film: somewhat uneven but filled with interesting, albeit clueless, characters and funny set-ups.
Slightly Used
Although sometimes a little too cartoonish, the cast is an enjoyable lot with plenty going on to drive the film forward.

A Miser Brothers’ Christmas
Aside from the charming technical aspects, A Miser Brothers’ Christmas is a fat lump of coal in the Christmas special canon.
I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown
Suffers from a lack of memorable moments. Although there’s a couple of cute spots with Snoopy, there’s little else that’s even remotely stands out.

Santa Buddies
Santa Buddies is the equivalent of a flaming bag of doggie dung on your doorstep: it’s impossible to explain what you did to deserve it and you want it gone and forgotten as soon as possible.

Kobe Doin’ Work
Despite some great game action and an in-depth narration from Bryant himself, the documentary falls into the trap of glitz and glamor distracting from the subject matter it’s intending to celebrate.
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
The epitome of self indulgence.
Clerks
There’s no denying the raw and energetic feel Smith created with a memorable script, great characters and a genuine sense of Gen X angst.
Chasing Amy
Smith’s most mature film. Yes, it’s filled with crude dialogue, blunt descriptions of sex and an overkill of Star Wars references, but it uses these to dig deeper and make its subject matter more accessible.
