Follow the links on your left to browse reviews by genres.   Or just click on Prison Flick List for all the reviews on the site listed alphabetically.  Warning to the squeamish: there are SPOILERS in almost every review.  I ain't Roger Ebert or David Denby, and I'm not going to be reviewing many new movies, so this shouldn't be a problem.  You've been warned.

Also, my reviews are pretty long and most have lots of screen caps, so they might take a little while to load.  It's worth the wait... at least I think it is, but then again, I would, wouldn't I?

My ratings system is based on how much I enjoyed the movie, which is usually a function of how good the movie is within its genre.  So Women in Cages does not get compared directly to Shawshank Redemption.

The scale ranges from lousy: 1 manacle

to great: 5 manacles

Some movies fall in between two ratings, so they get a half manacle tacked on: .

Really bad movies get The Shoe:

Pretty simple, eh?

If you would like to recommend a movie for review, send me an email at warden@prisonflicks.com.  I'm not taking guest reviews at this time, but I do welcome comments, disagreements, etc.  If you make a particularly interesting point about one of my reviews, I'll figure out an appropriate way to add it to the site.
