Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
0/5 47% Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2012) " The Harriet the Spy meets United 93 approach is just dreadful, as well as distasteful and stupid." — Maui Time
Posted Jan 20, 2012
0/5 26% Punisher: War Zone (2008) " the spurting blood and exploding heads have all the artfulness of a kid playing with ketchup packets at McDonald's. " — Maui Time
Posted Apr 7, 2011
0/5 56% Orphan (2009) " In addition to being remarkably foul, the film has no internal logic. " — Maui Time
Posted Apr 7, 2011
0/5 40% Saw VI (2009) " One hilariously idiotic touch is showing a flashback to a scene that happened just five minutes ago, as if we'd forget a woman chopping off her arm with an axe." — Maui Time
Posted Apr 7, 2011
0/5 10% Saw 3D (2010) " Contempt for the audience doesn't begin to describe it." — Maui Time
Posted Apr 5, 2011
0/5 4% The Roommate (2011) " Meester has a climactic, unintentionally hilarious "I-did-all-this-for-you!" monologue that should make her a Worst Actress front runner at next year's Razzie Awards." — Maui Time
Posted Apr 5, 2011
1/5 41% Dark Shadows (2012) " the first big turkey of the summer movie season and it's overdone in every way but also strangely dull. " — Maui Time
Posted May 10, 2012
1/5 52% The Lost World - Jurassic Park (1997) " a joyless special effects reel with grade 'A' actors who appear to be waiting for some direction." — FirstShowing.net
Posted Apr 22, 2012
1/5 40% The Big Year (2011) " This "comedy" about obsessive bird watchers is as lame as it sounds and has no laughs. So cornball and forgettable, the title could have been Larry Crowne II." — Maui Time
Posted Oct 13, 2011
1/5 35% Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) " too stupid and obnoxious for many adults and far too profane, scary and sleazy for children, the film's supposed audience." — Maui Time
Posted Jul 8, 2011
1/5 35% Larry Crowne (2011) " so syrupy, cutesy-poo and corny that it makes That Thing You Do! look like The Doors." — Maui Time
Posted Jul 1, 2011
1/5 20% Obsessed (2009) " I'm guessing the makers of Obsessed are hoping audiences will have forgotten about The Temp, as well as Fatal Attraction, Disclosure and all the other movies they ripped off. " — Maui Time
Posted Apr 7, 2011
1/5 37% Angels & Demons (2009) " Demons is livelier and bloodier than its predecessor, but just as ridiculous and about as exciting as eating a stale Communion wafer." — Maui Time
Posted Apr 7, 2011
1/5 14% I Love You Beth Cooper (2009) " The movie just sits there. There are no laughs; more work was put into the fight scenes (which are nothing special) than anything else." — Maui Time
Posted Apr 7, 2011
1/5 12% The Stepfather (2009) " forgettable, toothless and barely even creepy" — Maui Time
Posted Apr 7, 2011
1/5 51% Alice in Wonderland (2010) " Despite the fine technical work, this is never as funny or as exciting as it should be." — Maui Time
Posted Apr 7, 2011
1/5 28% Clash of the Titans (2010) " The brilliant stars of Schindler's List are tripped up by their silly roles and come across like ZZ Top attempting Shakespearean dialogue. " — Maui Time
Posted Apr 7, 2011
1/5 15% A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) " This remake-of-the-week is predictable, humorless, heavy-handed and ugly in a way the filmmakers may not have intended." — Maui Time
Posted Apr 7, 2011
1/5 49% The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010) " Why Edward and Jacob are still fighting over the most uninteresting girl in Seattle is a mystery. All of this is performed without passion, conviction or even mild enthusiasm." — Maui Time
Posted Apr 7, 2011
1/5 81% Despicable Me (2010) " It's not a despicable movie, exactly-it's too innocuous and forgettable for that. More like disposable." — Maui Time
Posted Apr 7, 2011
1/5 89% Let Me In (2010) " There was no need for this movie. They got it right the first time" — Maui Time
Posted Apr 5, 2011
1/5 71% Red (2010) " Watching these middle-aged acting giants attempt to play living action figures is like watching your mom fumble through a first-person shooter video game: it's cute but you're not buying it." — Maui Time
Posted Apr 5, 2011
1/5 24% The Dilemma (2011) " Remember The Break-Up, another Vaughn vehicle that was supposed to be fun but turned into an ugly, depressing, yell-a-thon? This is The Break-Up II." — Maui Time
Posted Apr 5, 2011
1/5 20% The Rite (2011) " The bigger problem is Colin O'Donoghue, who looks like a Calvin Klien model and only has one expression. In fact, he gives a performance so woefully wooden and one-note, I feared that he was possessed by the spirit of Keanu Reeves. " — Maui Time
Posted Apr 5, 2011
1/5 19% Just Go with It (2011) " Seeing Kidman and Aniston in a highly competitive hula dance at the Grand Wailea is supposed to be a comic high point but instead ranks as one of the strangest movie moments of the year." — Maui Time
Posted Apr 5, 2011
3/10 56% Vacancy (2007) " For horror fans this is nothing new and not worth going out of your way to see." — FirstShowing.net
Posted May 11, 2007
2/5 22% What to Expect When You're Expecting (2012) " the movie survives its dreadful opening scene, in which Diaz vomits into a trophy. " — Maui Time
Posted May 17, 2012
2/5 86% The Pirates! Band of Misfits (2012) " More amusing than funny, it begins well but settles for too many easy, cornball gags and not enough real laughs." — Maui Time
Posted Apr 27, 2012
2/5 13% Masters of the Universe (1987) " Even though he's covered by a glorified Halloween mask, Langella's forceful, operatic performance is something to see." — FirstShowing.net
Posted Apr 22, 2012
2/5 84% The Hunger Games (2012) " Lawrence's performance and a few near-radical touches draw you in but the most this has to offer an audience is pre-release hype." — Maui Time
Posted Mar 22, 2012
2/5 42% Silent House (2012) " The solution to the puzzle is a disaster. It's overly familiar, ugly instead of scary and undermines the entire movie." — Maui Time
Posted Mar 9, 2012
2/5 56% The Lorax (2012) " The third act is so slap-you-across-the-face message heavy, you'd think it were Happy Feet 3" — Maui Time
Posted Mar 2, 2012
2/5 25% This Means War (2012) " Instead of settling for a True Lies wannabe, shouldn't audiences just watch the real thing instead? " — Maui Time
Posted Feb 23, 2012
2/5 42% Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012) " Not a good movie but it's definitely a guilty pleasure. Just try not to smile when Johnson battles a giant electric eel. It's that kind of movie. " — Maui Time
Posted Feb 9, 2012
2/5 83% Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) " I admired the performances and the filmmaking but I never cared about any of these characters, mole or not. " — Maui Time
Posted Feb 2, 2012
2/5 26% Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011) " this is the darkest entry in the series and the shift in tone is refreshing" — Maui Time
Posted Dec 1, 2011
2/5 36% Immortals (2011) " the film is elevated by the go-for-broke grand finale, a huge battle so exciting, epic-sized and insanely violent, it makes 300 look like a Civil War reenactment." — Maui Time
Posted Nov 17, 2011
2/5 44% J. Edgar (2011) " more sleep inducing than exhilarating" — Maui Time
Posted Nov 11, 2011
2/5 36% The Thing (2011) " An adequate monster movie, though it in no way equals or surpasses Carpenter's 1982 classic." — Maui Time
Posted Oct 21, 2011
2/5 36% One Day (2011) " This is the kind of small, forgettable movie Hathaway and Sturgess do in between the bigger and more established projects." — Maui Time
Posted Aug 18, 2011
2/5 25% The Change-Up (2011) " No holds barred is one thing, but how far do you go before it stops being funny? " — Maui Time
Posted Aug 6, 2011
2/5 38% Cars 2 (2011) " The animation is vivid and lively, even as the story and jokes come off like clunky lug nuts." — Maui Time
Posted Jun 24, 2011
2/5 82% Super 8 (2011) " The ending is a big disappointment, as the last 30 minutes are clunky, poorly written and oozing with forced sentimentality." — Maui Time
Posted Jun 9, 2011
2/5 35% The Hangover Part II (2011) " nothing here is as nutty or inventively funny as the footage of Tyson's tiger being abducted in the first movie" — Maui Time
Posted Jun 2, 2011
2/5 34% Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011) " Die-hard fans may find a bit of buried treasure, but for the rest of us it's yo-so-so" — Maui Time
Posted May 19, 2011
2/5 58% Scream 4 (2011) " Kevin Williamson's screenplay pokes fun at horror movie remakes, a ripe target, but avoids sticking a knife where it counts: namely, needless sequels that feed off nostalgia." — Maui Time
Posted May 1, 2011
2/5 54% Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) " Sorry to be a buzzkill, but the movie is sometimes uproariously funny, but also dumb and obvious." — Maui Time
Posted Apr 8, 2011
2/5 66% The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008) " No offense to fantasy film lovers everywhere, but if I have to sit through another movie about a group of kids who are the last hope for a world only they know about, I'm gonna puke fairy dust." — Maui Time
Posted Apr 8, 2011
2/5 78% Burn After Reading (2008) " This mixed bag comes off as an excuse for the cast and filmmakers to goof around and have fun. Yet despite some real laughs and enjoyable plot complications, it doesn't come together." — Maui Time
Posted Apr 8, 2011
2/5 70% Religulous (2008) " Charles's film falls apart at the end, when the lighthearted tone is abruptly replaced by a ridiculously heavy-handed epilogue that derails the entire movie. " — Maui Time
