0/5 67% Brüno (Bruno) (2009) " Sacha Baron Cohen has nearly succeeded in his quest to be the film equivalent to Howard Stern. Crude and crass rather than challenging, shocking rather than stimulating, Cohen doesn't seem to care what he does so long as he gets people talking." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Jul 9, 2009
0/5 20% Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) " I honestly wish it could change itself into a good movie, instead it ends up being one of the worst sequels I've ever seen." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Jun 23, 2009
0/5 63% Crank 2: High Voltage (2009) " Ron Jeremy, who makes a cameo appearance, is too good for this movie and he's done porn and "The Surreal Life."" — Gazette (MD)
Posted Apr 22, 2009
0/5 12% Pink Panther 2 (2009) " Yes I know it's only February but I feel pretty confident in declaring this farce a solid lock for Worst Film of 2009." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Feb 9, 2009
0/5 13% Saw V (2008) " The blade is oh so dull on this Saw." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Oct 30, 2008
0/5 16% Max Payne (2008) " The film's best line sums up my feelings on it perfectly "Stay away from Max Payne." But they probably don't mean it the same way I do, huh?" — Gazette (MD)
Posted Oct 16, 2008
0/5 2% Disaster Movie (2008) " Why challenge yourself when you can have your Juno stand-in end a fight by lactating on the "Sex and the City" girls? Nope, a better question is why did I subject myself to this movie?" — Gazette (MD)
Posted Sep 8, 2008
0/5 50% Doomsday (2008) " a debacle that achieves the rarified air of being so terrible it's great." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Mar 21, 2008
0/5 26% Drillbit Taylor (2008) " I really question the casting of Wilson because he looked almost as bored making the movie as the audience that has to suffer through it" — Gazette (MD)
Posted Mar 20, 2008
0/5 21% Semi-Pro (2008) " accomplishes a rare feat even for the truly terrible movies in that it doesn't manage a consistent level of mediocrity but surpasses it seemingly with each and every scene proving that oh yes, it can and will get worse." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Feb 28, 2008
0/5 23% Balls of Fury (2007) " Proving that there is indeed truth in advertising, Balls of Fury is every bit as terrible as the advertisements would lead you to believe." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Aug 29, 2007
0/5 15% The Condemned (2007) " the director proves to be one the opponent that Stone Cold just can't beat." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Apr 26, 2007
0/5 9% Norbit (2007) " Having suffered through "The Adventures of Pluto Nash," I figured I couldn't possibly hate another Eddie Murphy movie more. Oh how wrong I was." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Feb 10, 2007
0/10 19% Domino (2005) " possibly one of the worst movies I've had the distinct displeasure of viewing in many years. Mind you, I say this after seeing "Alone in the Dark" and "The Man" this year." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Oct 11, 2005
0/10 5% The Perfect Man (2005) " The faux lover angle isn't exactly new but when a daughter is more or less trying to woo her mother, it's not original, just weirdly creepy if not a tad incestual. " — Gazette (MD)
Posted Jun 17, 2005
1/10 7% Date Movie (2006) " Friedberg and Seltzer's philosophy seems to be - make fun of other movies first, worry about our own movie second. Of course, that means their movie is no good" — Gazette (MD)
Posted Feb 20, 2006
1/10 11% The Man (2005) " Rarely has a 2005 film made me so glad to see the credits." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Sep 8, 2005
1.5/10 10% Venom (2005) " For a movie about voodoo and snakes, ironically, "Venom" appears to be the only thing cursed as it slithers into theaters." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Sep 16, 2005
1/5 6% The Last Airbender (2010) " a plodding, aimless film that more than anything else I've seen this year all but screams for a 'do-over.' " — Gazette (MD)
Posted Jul 1, 2010
1/5 15% A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) " I can't offer a compelling reason as to why you should see 'A Nightmare on Elm Street,' but that's ok because there was no compelling reason as to why anyone felt the need to 're-imagine' the 1984 horror classic. " — Gazette (MD)
Posted Apr 30, 2010
1/5 43% Jennifer's Body (2009) " It's like one of those self-absorbed, self-important teens that don't understand they're not half as clever as they think." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Sep 18, 2009
1/5 39% Imagine That (2009) " Eddie Murphy's latest movie is not worth paying to see. Gee, imagine that?" — Gazette (MD)
Posted Jun 11, 2009
1/5 43% Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) " One exhibit that should be closed for the summer." — Gazette (MD)
Posted May 29, 2009
1/5 21% Next Day Air (2009) " Doesn't deliver anything to make you want to pick it up. No need to return to sender, just don't sign off on it." — Gazette (MD)
Posted May 13, 2009
1/5 34% Knowing (2009) " It left my head shaking and my eyes open wide in astonishment wondering how I let myself be suckered into getting interested in yet another Nicolas Cage debacle when in all honesty, I really should have known better." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Mar 25, 2009
1/5 5% Miss March (2009) " It's a pretty rare movie indeed that halfway through makes me think that no one associated with it from the lead actors, directors to the screenwriters should work in Hollywood ever again, not even at a Starbucks." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Mar 17, 2009
1/5 25% Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009) " If ever there was a worst time to release a film entitled 'Confessions of a Shopaholic,' which stars a fiscally irresponsible main character buried in debt it would be while the nation is in the midst of a terrible recession." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Feb 25, 2009
1/5 14% The Spirit (2008) " I have a sneaky feeling that this probably wouldn't be the big screen treatment Will Eisner would have preferred for his revered comic book/comic strip creation." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Dec 24, 2008
1/5 9% Bangkok Dangerous (2008) " a promising film about a hit man that ultimately gets wacked because its star isn't suited for the role at all." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Sep 9, 2008
1/5 41% The House Bunny (2008) " a triumph of modern day filmmaking packed with powerhouse performances, dazzling cinematography and a thought-provoking premise that will - wait a second, this film is all about Anna Faris showing off her cleavage in skimpy outfits" — Gazette (MD)
Posted Aug 26, 2008
1/5 55% Step Brothers (2008) " Ferrell shows there's only so many times you can milk the same cow before the milk spoils." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Jul 24, 2008

Posted Jun 5, 2008
1/5 13% College Road Trip (2008) " The film is one of those bad movies where you can't even work up a good hatred for it just amazement that someone thought it was good enough to make it into theaters." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Mar 6, 2008
1/5 11% Fool's Gold (2008) " If you're in the mood for a boring by the numbers romantic comedy, this is for you." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Feb 10, 2008
1/5 11% Perfect Stranger (2007) " one of those films that looks like it has a bad premise and completely lives up to the 'hype.'" — Gazette (MD)
Posted Apr 13, 2007

1/5 57% X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) " It's too bad that unlike the mutants, this series never managed to evolve." — Gazette (MD)
Posted May 25, 2006
2/10 16% Underworld: Evolution (2006) " This sequel proves that Underworld has not in fact evolved with an ending hinting at yet another installment. Can we just please keep that in the coffin? " — Gazette (MD)
Posted Jan 20, 2006
2/10 26% The Legend of Zorro (2005) " Imagine paying to see a James Bond movie and watching countless scenes of Moneypenny and Q and you'd have a good feel for how poor Zorro is underutilized in his own sequel." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Oct 26, 2005
16% Jumper (2008) " has a tremendous premise and awesome special effects that are ultimately hindered by a plot that doesn't go deeper than its ''isn't this cool?" gimmick." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Feb 14, 2008
21% You, Me and Dupree (2006) " the kind of comedy that proves if a film's premise sounds stupid, the movie will likely follow suit." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Jul 13, 2006
54% Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) " never manages to capture the same excitement, charm and fun of its predecessor." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Jul 7, 2006
39% Kingdom of Heaven (2005) " If you're seeking enlightenment or a good movie, skip this one and join the next crusade." — Gazette (MD)
Posted May 4, 2005
41% A Lot Like Love (2005) " I wish someone would lock me up so I could enjoy these plodding romantic comedies since clearly my wish of someone making better romantic comedies is going unanswered." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Apr 25, 2005
16% Cursed (2005) " sit through the roller coaster plot and enjoy Craven doing what he does best but don't expect to walk out leery the next time you see a full moon." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Feb 28, 2005

Posted Feb 16, 2005
11% Are We There Yet? (2005) " The bad news is that the inclusion of a bobble-head doll is not the worst part of this disappointing family comedy. " — Gazette (MD)
Posted Jan 27, 2005
1% Alone in the Dark (2005) " ...films like "Battlefield Earth" and "The Adventures of Pluto Nash" await a film of this magnitude because it gets awfully lonely on the island of misfit movies." — Gazette (MD)
Posted Jan 27, 2005
10% Elektra (2005) " If watching Jennifer Garner kicking butt is your thing, save yourself the price of a movie ticket by skipping "Elektra" and watch her far superior free TV show "Alias."" — Gazette (MD)
Posted Jan 13, 2005
16% Alexander (2004) " Time, it has been said, waits for no man-a fact I was keenly aware of two minutes into the nearly three-hour debacle that is "Alexander."" — Gazette (MD)
