Pearce’s Film Reviews

239 Films have been rated or reviewed by Pearce.

Shaft in Africa (1973): If you want to see Shaft's shaft this is your best bet, keep your finger on that Pause button.
Hardware (1990): When you lose a lawsuit because your movie ripped off a three page comic strip, I'd hope you added more to the mix than this.
Step Into Liquid (2003): Why was Chis (X–Files) Carter in this? I watched it with the sound off and music on so I'll probably never know.
'R Xmas (2002): Ice–T gave an interview about the first time he got to see this movie that's absolutely perfect. Look it up!
Funeral, The (1996): Who knew Chris Penn could sing? Heck, who knew he could act?
King of New York (1990): This and Deep Cover are the best neo noir movies of their era.
Angel of Vengeance (Ms.45) (1981): One of the best movies of its type, thanks to subversive style and a hypnotic performance by the lead.
Death Race 2000 (1975): This is good, but according to people who worked on it Roger Corman was unhappy when a test audience laughed so much and cut out the best jokes. It must have been a real gut–buster!
Hellboy 2: The Golden Army (2008): Could not deal with the Barry Manilow singalong.
Manson Family, The (2003): If this had been just the Manson Family stuff it'd be a trashterpiece but the modern–day scenes drag it down. Van Bebber's best is still the short My Sweet Satan.
