GOOD

   Five-part series by Stuart Brown of XboxAhoy covering the history/milestones of video game graphics/techniques.
   
9. Funny Games (2008) 7  
   An aggressively unpleasant film that tortures the audience for its bloodlust. Both sadistic and pretentious.
   
10. Game, The (1997) 7

FAIR

15. Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic (2010) 6  
    Animatrix-style companion to EA's video game. Dante enters the nine circles of hell, battles demons.
    
16. Enemy at the Gates (2001) 6  
    Two Russian and German snipers play a game of cat-and-mouse during the Battle of Stalingrad.
    
17. Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (2005) 6  
    Beautifully rendered CGI could not hold my interest. For Final Fantasy video game fans only.
    
18. Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, The (2014) 6  
    Jennifer Lawrence's charisma is the only thing holding this trilogy together. Sadly underdeveloped, yet overdone.
    
19. Pushing Tin (1999) 6  
    John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton are air traffic controllers playing a game of one-upmanship.

ADEQUATE

20. Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2, The (2015) 5  
    The downhill slide concludes. Was almost wishing Katniss would shoot every character with an arrow.
    
21. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) 5  
    A live-action video game featuring a special dagger that can reverse time. Disposable Bruckheimer cinema.

    Jigsaw forces another round of kidnapped people to play survival games in medieval torture chambers.
    
23. Stay Alive (2006) 5

FROM BAD TO WORSE

24. Gamer (2009) CRAP  
    Brainless, ultraviolent sci-fi mishmash of bad writing, bad acting, jerky editing, digital effects and boobs.
    
25. Reindeer Games (2000) CRAP  
    A violent, preposterous bellyflop of a heist thriller. Stars Ben Affleck and Charlize Theron.
