1/5 27% Takers (2010) " What helps salvage the film...are the unintentional laughs generated by the film's outrageous gun battles, childish dialogue and an action chase featuring Brown that seems to go on forever." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 26, 2010
1/5 14% Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore (2010) " Proof that kids comedy still requires quality storytelling and engaging lead performances to be successful." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jul 29, 2010
1/5 20% Hannah Free (2009) " What Hannah Free offers are Gless' sass and good intentions. Achieving crossover business, even within the specialty film world, requires more." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Dec 18, 2009
1/5 18% Stan Helsing (2009) " To its credit, Stan Helsing is no less funny than the studio comedy Couples Retreat, meaning that even marquee comedians like Vince Vaughn couldn't save this film." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 23, 2009
1/5 48% Ong Bak 2 (2009) " A perfect example of a sophomore misstep and a powerful argument for action stars to gather more experience before stepping behind the camera." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Sep 24, 2009
1/5 21% Spread (2009) " Spread never generates enough drama to make audiences care about Kutcher's lackadaisical boy toy and the film's laughs are too few for it to succeed as an Ashton Kutcher comedy." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 14, 2009
1/5 —— Break (2009) " Only Madsen walks away from Break with his reputation unscathed, and this is if only because he's already something of a B-movie kingpin." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted May 8, 2009
1/5 8% The Skeptic (2009) " Polished but dull." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted May 1, 2009
1/5 51% Easy Virtue (2009) " A clumsily written, surprisingly foolish and misdirected adaptation." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 23, 2009
1/5 50% American Swing (2009) " The tantalizing combination of â(TM)70s New York nostalgia and public orgies at the infamous sex club Plato's Retreat fails to meet its storytelling potential." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Feb 17, 2009
62% Diary of the Dead (2007) " For Romero, someone who still retains respect and admiration for previous work, Diary of the Dead points to the realization that it is time to close the door on zombie movies and move to other horror subjects." — Screen International
Posted Oct 18, 2008
1.5/4 62% Joshua (Joshua: The Devil's Child) (2007) " Scenes that are meant to be scary end up generating laughs." — Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Posted Aug 30, 2007
2/5 33% The Ward (2011) " Tthis one comes off as an amateurish misstep due to unoriginal storytelling from fledgling screenwriters Michael and Shawn Rasmussen." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jun 3, 2011
2/5 45% Soul Surfer (2011) " Sappy melodrama, clumsy dialogue and heavy-handed proselytizing derail the inspirational story of teen surfer Bethany Hamilton." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 5, 2011
2/5 11% Red Riding Hood (2011) " Hardwicke shows a strong grasp at epic fantasy with Red Riding Hood; her nemesis is not a man-eating wolf but an unsurprising script." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Mar 10, 2011
2/5 38% The Eagle (2011) " Unfortunately, the storytelling falters throughout and The Eagle, despite its grandeur, turns out to be Macdonald's most disappointing effort." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Feb 12, 2011
2/5 45% Another Happy Day (2011) " Barkin looks great and makes a noble effort trying to keep her middle-aged mom character grounded, but Levinson unloads too many hysterical outbursts and crying fits to keep Lynn from dissolving into parody." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Feb 11, 2011
2/5 31% The Warrior's Way (2010) " While the film claims dazzling visuals, Lee fails to deliver the type of never-before-seen martial arts fights fans demand." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Dec 6, 2010
2/5 42% Faster (2010) " Watching Driver peel rubber proves B grade action movies are a welcome diversion in the era of CGI blockbusters. If only Faster didn't fizzle each time Johnson put down his gun." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Nov 24, 2010
2/5 10% Saw 3D (2010) " Lackluster 3D effects will dampen the trick-or-treat holiday enthusiasm." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 29, 2010
2/5 33% 11/4/08 (2010) " There are numerous times when one wishes the camera would remain on one of its many fascinating subjects and tell a more in-depth story." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 29, 2010
2/5 9% My Soul to Take (2010) " My Soul to Take lacks quality 3D and the one, standout, never-seen-before scare necessary to get horror fans spreading the word to fellow scary movie buffs." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 12, 2010
2/5 57% Bran Nue Dae (2010) " While well known to many Down-Under fans, Bran Nue Dae has too much comic kitsch for U.S. specialty film audiences." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Sep 10, 2010
2/5 61% The Nature of Existence (2010) " The problem is that Nygard is not a showman (like Moore) and the journey quickly loses its appeal." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jun 30, 2010
2/5 58% TiMER (2010) — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted May 8, 2010
2/5 36% Boogie Woogie (2010) " May be the most well connected comedy in years-although many of the artists featured will probably experience remorse after watching the haphazard results." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 23, 2010
2/5 26% Ninja Assassin (2009) " Working with screenwriters Matthew Sand and J. Michael Straczynski (from an original story by Sand), McTeigue provides enough wire-fu fights and stylish gore to please the fan boys who expect ample bloodletting from an R-rated action movie." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Nov 25, 2009
2/5 21% Oh My God (2009) " While beautiful photography of the faraway lands Rodger visits and crisp editing keep the movie flowing at a fast pace, Oh My God remains a hit-and-miss collection of interviews that fail to create a single, compelling message." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Nov 13, 2009
2/5 0% Eulogy for a Vampire (2009) " For select fans of campy gay comedies, Eulogy for a Vampire turns out to be a yell-at-the-screen experience no different from Plan 9 From Outer Space or Mystery Science Theater 3000." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 23, 2009
2/5 57% Nos enfants nous accuseront (Food Beware: The French Organic Revolution) (2008) " [Audiences] will take issue with the film's overwhelming number of talking heads, constant barrage of stats and director Jean-Paul Jaud's inability to craft a human story out of a very timely health issue." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 16, 2009
2/5 79% The Horse Boy (2009) " By failing to break new ground in the non-fiction genre, Scott misses out on all the dramatic potential Horse Boy has to offer." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 2, 2009
2/5 60% Casi Divas (Road to Fame) (2008) " The film's girl-to-girl comedy far outshines its frequent bursts of melodrama, two-dimensional male characters (especially Julio Bracho as the producer of the talent show) and surprising lack of suspense over who will win the contest." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 28, 2009
2/5 26% The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard (2009) " At a karaoke performance, Ready calls a Jonah Hill look-a-like in the audience "Superbad," but the joke comes off as an act of jealousy." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 14, 2009
2/5 36% Local Color (2006) " Lacks the quality storytelling and visual beauty needed for all-important critical acclaim and positive word of mouth." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jul 2, 2009
2/5 7% Ghosted (2009) " While longtime Treut admirers may miss the gender politics, explicit sex and lesbian SM content of her best known films, the romantic and lush Ghosted offers First Run a good shot at a wider specialty audience." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jun 19, 2009
2/5 81% Unmistaken Child (2009) " While an appealing combination of travelogue, spiritual improvement story and road movie, Unmistaken Child fails to fully capitalize on its intriguing subjects." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted May 29, 2009
2/5 84% Under Our Skin (2008) " [The director's] inability to place a compelling human face on the disease, whether doctor or patient, derails his good intentions at raising awareness." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted May 28, 2009
2/5 19% Mutant Chronicles (2008) " Shoestring special effects and flimsy storytelling make Mutant Chronicles a B-movie fantasy in search of an old Times Square moviehouse." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 27, 2009
2/5 61% Faubourg 36 (Paris 36) (2009) " While Paris 36 may be too sweet and nostalgic to rank high on many critics' lists, Barratier's optimistic storytelling should generate strong word-of-mouth from audiences who remember watching and liking The Chorus." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 3, 2009
2/5 12% The Mysteries of Pittsburgh (2009) " Poor performances by lesser-known co-leads Jon Foster and Sienna Miller, and sporadic storytelling with only a sliver of the emotional depth of Chabon's beloved book, wipes away any positives..." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Mar 31, 2009
2/5 35% Pride and Glory (2008) " Pride and Glory's commercial setbacks will likely originate from its all-too-familiar storytelling." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 8, 2008
2/4 37% I Am (2011) " Despite some beautiful travel photography from cameraman Roko Belic and swift editing by Jennifer Abbott, "I Am" remains a personal diary that leaves the casual moviegoer out of the experience." — Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Posted May 5, 2011
2.5/5 40% Saw VI (2009) " For Lionsgate, it remains a good time to be in the Saw business." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 23, 2009
2/4 72% Sunshine Cleaning (2009) " Despite its two attractive leads, the movie dissolves into a missed opportunity instead of the topical alternative women's comedy Jeffs and Holley intended." — Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Posted Mar 26, 2009
2.5/5 34% Good (2008) " For Amorim, who only claims his second feature with Good, it's best to see the film as a next step towards honing the quality storytelling skills needed for making successful movies." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Sep 12, 2008
2/4 62% Diary of the Dead (2007) " Fails to come up with anything fresh or particularly frightening." — Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Posted Mar 7, 2008
2/4 56% The Notorious Bettie Page (2006) " Turns out to be a movie with little to remember despite the precise craft and efforts of its creators. It's as if they worked hard for nothing." — Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Posted Jun 2, 2006
3/5 57% House Of Boys (2011) " [A] sweet natured and showy go-go boys drama." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jul 30, 2011
3/5 88% If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front (2011) " It's a powerful tale; one guaranteed to generate heated discussions and with spirited debate solid box office often follows." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted May 14, 2011
3/5 32% I Am Number Four (2011) " The film's best moments belong to Teresa Palmer as unexpected backup to Number Four, who makes a fiery entrance every bit as dramatic as Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator." — Boxoffice Magazine
