Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
0.5/5 11% Blood and Chocolate (2007) " A truly laughable movie, one that takes itself far too seriously without ever taking a moment to consider who its audience is -- or if it even has one." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 25, 2007
D 12% Timeline (2003) " They should have called this Time Waste..." — Now Playing Magazine
Posted Dec 2, 2004
57% X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) " It's a mutant smorgasbord, and most of the characters suffer as a result. 'We need more mutants in leather,' I can hear a studio exec yelling. 'And give them tattoos too! That way we know they're bad guys!'" — Now Playing Magazine
Posted May 23, 2006
D+ —— The Bad Girls From Valley High (2005) " A Heathers rip-off, without the wit or the star quality of that film..." — Now Playing Magazine
Posted Apr 9, 2005
D+ 22% AVP - Alien Vs. Predator (2004) " It's as if AvP woke up from the long slumber of development hell only to learn that it had one of those Alien chestbursters gestating inside it." — Now Playing Magazine
Posted Jan 24, 2005
1.5/5 4% Code Name: The Cleaner (2007) " If Cedric the Entertainer's constant mugging for the camera is not your cup of tea, and a derivative plot, relatively humorless script, and mundane directing aren't up your alley, then best to clean Code Name: The Cleaner off your must-see list right now." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 25, 2007
1.5/5 2% Epic Movie (2007) " Go rent Blazing Saddles instead." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 25, 2007
1.5/5 8% Premonition (2007) " Offers its moments of requisite thriller twists that will appeal to fans of that genre." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 25, 2007
1.5/5 11% The Hills Have Eyes 2 (2007) " Maybe it's just time to put an end to this mutant circle of life, or at least send it straight to DVD from now on." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 25, 2007
1.5/5 —— Blackout (2007) " Hopes to attach some larger social significance to the event, but that unfortunately falls largely flat and suffers from a derivative and sometimes vapid script." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 22, 2007
1.5/5 56% Civic Duty (2006) " Eventually it all boils down to cliché, with home invasions by Terry, physical confrontations between Terry and Gabe, a hostage situation, a main character getting gunned down, and all the other standard thriller tropes that might excite the kind of audie" — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 22, 2007
1.5/5 36% Descent (2007) " One can't say that the film "devolves" into revenge fantasy in its final act, because that seems to be the whole intention of the filmmakers. But still, what the point is of such an unpleasant and prolonged exercise in hate -- as Descent's climax is -- is" — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 22, 2007
1.5/5 20% The Marine (2006) " Yes, Virginia, there is a John Rambo. But he lives now only in our memories." — IGN Movies
Posted Oct 16, 2006
2/5 25% Wrath of the Titans (2012) " How can a movie that's so big feel so small?" — IGN Movies
Posted Mar 29, 2012
2/5 36% Red Tails (2012) " That the script for a film that has been in some form of development for over 20 years should be so stilted and, well, dumb simply boggles the mind." — IGN Movies
Posted Jan 19, 2012
2/5 53% Green Zone (2010) " "No WMDs! Government evil! Fire bad! Freddy good!" the film roars as it staggers around like the Frankenstein monster that it is, the sewn together parts of previous Greengrass successes." — IGN Movies
Posted Mar 15, 2010
2/5 21% Arthur and the Invisibles (Arthur and the Minimoys) (2007) " Is it time for director Luc Besson to become invisible too?" — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 25, 2007
2/5 27% Ghost Rider (2007) " Ghost Rider fails for the same reason every bad movie does: poor storytelling and bad acting." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 25, 2007
2/5 33% Rise: Blood Hunter (2007) " It's a blood-red affair thrown together in a dash, a little number that will ultimately get the same kind of treatment from audiences as it did from those who made it: something you might cue up in the DVD player on a whim and forget just as easily." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 22, 2007
C 26% Blade: Trinity (2004) " Let's face it: the Blade movies have always been better than they should've been..." — Now Playing Magazine
Posted Dec 7, 2004
2.5/5 19% Cop Out (2010) " Here Smith the director is a hired gun, shooting someone else's words for a change -- the first time in his feature career, in fact. And you know what? It suits him." — IGN Movies
Posted Feb 25, 2010
2.5/5 34% P2 (2007) " Manages to churn out enough tension and thrills to keep things interesting." — IGN Movies
Posted Nov 16, 2007
2.5/5 72% Tekon Kinkurîto (Tekkonkinkreet) (2007) " Tekk it or leave eet." — IGN Movies
Posted Jul 23, 2007
2.5/5 66% Miss Potter (2007) " Much like star Renée Zellweger's portrayal of its famous title character, Miss Potter is a strange, split-personality kind of thing." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 25, 2007
2.5/5 15% Hannibal Rising (2007) " Hannibal Rising isn't much more than appetizer." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 25, 2007
C+ —— Scourge of Worlds - A Dungeons & Dragons Adventure (2003) " The idea behind Scourge of Worlds is interesting, but better writers and animators would help the cause..." — Now Playing Magazine
Posted Mar 3, 2005
3/5 95% Moneyball (2011) " Moneyball should be a much better movie than it actually is." — IGN Movies
Posted Sep 22, 2011
3/5 62% Kill the Irishman (2011) " A mishmash of familiar mafia tale beats and rise to power/fall from glory tropes, the film is nonetheless buoyed by a strong cast -- particularly its star, Ray Stevenson, who plays the flagrantly coifed mad bomber Greene." — IGN Movies
Posted Mar 17, 2011
3/5 62% Salt (2010) " Even if the picture ultimately winds up being exactly what we figured it would be when we saw the very first preview for it, it still manages to hold our attention throughout." — IGN Movies
Posted Jul 22, 2010
3/5 —— Perfume () " It is overlong and maybe too painstakingly faithful to the source material at times for its own good." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 25, 2007
3/5 19% Primeval (2007) " Primeval walks a fine line between action, humor, and having half a conscience." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 25, 2007
3/5 19% Factory Girl (2007) " Factory Girl is an effective evocation of a particular slice of recent history. The film benefits from Miller's turn as Edie, an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink performance that takes the poor girl from the heights and highs of fame to the depths and doom" — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 25, 2007
3/5 100% Borderland (2007) " Every once in awhile, a film can defy expectations, and Lionsgate's Borderland is one such case." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 25, 2007
3/5 —— A Dirty Carnival () " A circus of Shakespearean themes about the rise and fall of not just one man who tried to get ahead in life, but also how his successes and failures affected -- and afflicted -- all those around him." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 22, 2007
3/5 29% Tideland (2006) " Tideland is Gilliam unrestrained to be sure, and the result is a picture that has no chance at commercial success whatsoever %u2014 but a great shot at upsetting many a right-wing politico at the very least." — IGN Movies
Posted Oct 17, 2006
B- —— Radley Metzger Collection - Vol. 1 (2004) " For those who want panache with their sexploitation..." — Now Playing Magazine
Posted Mar 22, 2005
3.5/5 54% Safe House (2012) " It's the Denzel-isms that prove to be the deciding factor in Safe House's success." — IGN Movies
Posted Feb 10, 2012
3.5/5 83% Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) " Andy Serkis, who has been at the forefront of mo-cap since portraying Gollum in the Lord of the Rings films, is an automatic Oscar snub in waiting post-Rise." — IGN Movies
Posted Aug 3, 2011
3.5/5 23% Repo Men (2010) " It's a mess of a movie in many ways, but it's a hot mess." — IGN Movies
Posted Mar 22, 2010
3.5/5 42% Brooklyn's Finest (2010) " The film is more inclined to look to the cop dramas of the '70s for its inspiration, pouring on all the quasi-realism and downbeat inclinations that films of that era thrived on. It's a style that suits Fuqua and his actors." — IGN Movies
Posted Mar 15, 2010
3.5/5 20% Dead Silence (2007) " It's great seeing Wahlberg getting the chance to have fun with the character, who proves to be a highlight of the film, and one almost wishes he might get his own spin-off film or series at some point -- though judging by the events of Dead Silence, that" — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 25, 2007
3.5/5 85% The Hoax (2007) " Gere defies expectations as Irving, completely becoming the 1970s-era New York Jewish dude, bad hair and all." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 25, 2007
3.5/5 48% Lonely Hearts (2006) " A consistently entertaining and occasionally gut-wrenching tale that deserves at least some measure of notice." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 25, 2007
3.5/5 65% Jindabyne (2006) " The filmmakers do not feel the need to fill in every single blank for viewers by the time the credits roll. Just as in reality, these characters' problems are not going to be solved with the wave of a magic wand; there are no short cuts to happiness." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 22, 2007
B —— The Flash (1990) " A logical, if TV-level, outgrowth of [Tim Burton's] Batman. A shame, then, that it didn't last." — Now Playing Magazine
Posted Feb 8, 2006
B 82% Serenity (2005) " Just when you think Whedon has fallen into the generic action film void, he injects Serenity with a dose of feeling..." — Now Playing Magazine
Posted Sep 30, 2005
B 74% War of the Worlds (2005) " Some of the director's finest thriller-style work in years." — Now Playing Magazine
Posted Jun 29, 2005
B —— Wonder Woman - The Complete Second Season (2005) " Talk about a formative TV viewing experience for a nation of nine-year-old boys." — Now Playing Magazine
Posted Mar 11, 2005
B —— Unsolved Mysteries - Psychics (2005) " Damn, if these things don't suck you in." — Now Playing Magazine
Posted Feb 24, 2005
B —— Unsolved Mysteries - Bizarre Murders (2005) " Damn, if these things don't suck you in." — Now Playing Magazine
