Mallrats R

The least appreciated of Kevin Smith's films, this take on the risqué teen comedy was derided for its mystifying fan-boy humour and general lack of class (not even receiving a cinematic release in the UK). But by no means a mess, "Mallrats" easily maintains Smith's strengths of dialogue and ribald humour, if highlighting his directorial weakness of badly paced scenes. To complete the evaluation, then: hardly a collapse, more an amusing trip-up.

Blade Runner R

Director Ridley Scott's 1982 film "Blade Runner" is arguably the most famous and influential science fiction film ever made. It has exerted a pervasive influence over all subsequent science fiction cinema, and indeed our cultural perceptions of the future. "Blade Runner" fully and richly deserves its reputation. It is simply one of the most extraordinary films ever made.
