1/6 7% Waiting For Dublin (2007) " Let's just say that it will take many Guinnesses to get over the stilted awfulness of this nonsensical ode to the Emerald Isle. Many Guinnesses." — Time Out New York
Posted Mar 11, 2009
1/6 18% Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009) " This painful background tale of the schoolgirl master of the really slow fireball attack almost makes one yearn for the days of Jean-Claude Van Damme." — Time Out New York
Posted Mar 4, 2009
1/6 33% Bloodline (2008) " If you thought the fallout of Dan Brown's pop-Christian schlock had finally passed, think again." — Time Out New York
Posted May 8, 2008
1/6 9% Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008) " No intelligence allowed, indeed, as Ben Stein misguidedly crusades against what he perceives as the science community's slavish devotion to natural selection." — Time Out New York

1/5 14% Dragonball Evolution (2009) Time Out
Posted Nov 16, 2011
1/5 51% Devil (2010) " This is the sort of cut-rate cinematic Cheez Whiz that gives religious horror movies a bad name. Still, at least it's not The Last Airbender." — Time Out New York
Posted Sep 22, 2010
1/5 29% Free Style (2009) " Anyone over the legal voting age will have to suffer through "valuable" life lessons to get to the sick two-wheel aerials. Nothing ever comes for free." — Time Out New York
Posted Oct 7, 2009
2/6 29% 12 Rounds (2009) " A graceless scrap between a Die Hard flick and the public-transportation mayhem of Speed." — Time Out New York
Posted Apr 1, 2009
2/6 46% Hotel for Dogs (2009) " The film would've been better served if the maudlin human struggles and teenybopper romance had been cut and replaced with a bunch of Shiba Inu puppies rolling around the hotel lobby." — Time Out New York
Posted Jan 14, 2009
2/6 64% Where God Left His Shoes (2007) " This film needs more than God's Nikes to resonate with an already economically downtrodden filmgoing populace." — Time Out New York
Posted Dec 10, 2008
2/6 47% The Beautiful Truth (2008) " The director's suggestion that big pharmaceutical companies have no interest in actually curing cancer is credible, but the film itself unfortunately makes Kroschel's beliefs come off like just so much hippie propaganda." — Time Out New York
Posted Nov 12, 2008
2/6 79% The Matador (2008) " The Matador suffers from a very predictable, almost staged quality when capturing Fandila's unsequined life outside the ring." — Time Out New York
Posted Oct 29, 2008
2/6 6% Strength and Honor (2007) Time Out New York
Posted Oct 18, 2008
2/6 9% Bangkok Dangerous (2008) " Cage is believable as the brooding lone-wolf gunman, but the "hit man screwing himself by growing a conscience on his final kill" ploy needs to be put down for good." — Time Out New York
Posted Sep 11, 2008
2/6 40% The Longshots (2008) " Unfortunately, director Fred Durst blends all of these time-honored components with the same skill level that he brought to the stage with his crappy band Limp Bizkit." — Time Out New York
Posted Aug 21, 2008
2/6 19% Meet Dave (2008) " Watching Murphy robotically walk around the city does stir nostalgia for the brilliant SNL skit where he masqueraded as an uptight white guy, but that formidable comic actor is long gone." — Time Out New York
Posted Jul 16, 2008
2/6 74% Outsourced (2007) " Picture Office Space, but shot in Mumbai and not funny." — Time Out New York
Posted Jul 10, 2008
2/6 0% Short Order (2008) " Paulo's anguish and plotting provide genuine laughs and some of the only quality moments in this otherwise forgettable movie." — Time Out New York
Posted May 14, 2008
2/6 0% Remember the Daze (The Beautiful Ordinary) (2008) " This dreck can't even hold a candle to Can't Hardly Wait and prompts the question: Where's this generation's Lloyd Dobler?" — Time Out New York
Posted Apr 10, 2008
2/6 5% The Hottie and the Nottie (2008) " Visionary director Tom Putnam injects new life into the stale romantic-comedy genre by introducing a hot girl and her ugly friend, only to pull the rug right out from under us by transposing their roles when you least expect it." — Time Out New York
Posted Feb 7, 2008
2/6 21% Flakes (2007) " Some cute moments pepper the inane plot, but Flakes doesn't have much snap, crackle or pop." — Time Out New York
Posted Dec 13, 2007
2/6 34% P2 (2007) " Bentley plays the role of funny, cagey psychopath quite well, and the film packs more laughs than frights. What woman wouldn't be interested after his homicidal message of love?" — Time Out New York
Posted Nov 15, 2007
2/6 13% Mr. Woodcock (2007) " The amusingly deadpan Thornton cock-slaps the wishy-washy Scott through a medley of visual gags and dick jokes." — Time Out New York

2/5 40% The Longshots (2008) Time Out
Posted Nov 16, 2011
2/5 0% Transylmania (2009) " David and Scott Hillenbrand's stoner horror-comedy predictably provides more groans than laughs. The filmmakers had better pray someone in the theater is holding, if you know what we mean." — Time Out New York
Posted Dec 9, 2009
2/5 40% X Games 3D: The Movie (2009) " Such dime-store philosophy, coupled with the running commentary from the Games' heinously Spicoli-esque announcers, ruins an otherwise gripping, in-your-face experience." — Time Out New York
Posted Aug 26, 2009
2/5 18% Dance Flick (2009) Time Out New York
Posted May 22, 2009
3/6 19% Mutant Chronicles (2008) " The film plays like an extended-cut scene from an Xbox 360 shooter, but heroic sons of bitches mixed with exploding torsos at humanity's darkest hour sometimes equals splattery fun." — Time Out New York
Posted May 1, 2009
3/6 71% Bart Got a Room (2009) " If nothing else, the film serves as a cringeworthy reminder to us all about what terrible people we were in high school." — Time Out New York
Posted Apr 1, 2009
3/6 40% We Pedal Uphill (2008) " All of Roland Tec's miniportraits highlight the snake oil hucksterism and manufactured fear that still beset America." — Time Out New York
Posted Mar 18, 2009
3/6 75% Crips and Bloods: Made in America (2008) " The self-perpetuating cycle of hopelessness, ignorance and poverty is certainly a depressing spectacle. But it's not a very revelatory one." — Time Out New York
Posted Jan 21, 2009
3/6 44% Let Them Chirp Awhile (2008) " Jonathan Blitstein's debut feature works reasonably well by letting the characters' collective emotional retardation speak for itself." — Time Out New York
Posted Dec 3, 2008
3/6 82% The End of America (2008) " Wolf's dire message has lost some of its urgency, but is still worth paying attention to, if only as a study of how aggressive regimes market their language in palatable ways." — Time Out New York
Posted Dec 3, 2008
3/6 64% The First Basket (2008) " Students of the game will find the archival footage interesting, but casual filmgoers will likely be frustrated by the slavish on-court devotion to unflashy fundamentals and the inexcusable lack of dunking." — Time Out New York
Posted Oct 29, 2008
3/6 56% Stealing America: Vote by Vote (2008) " Despite backing up the sobering message of foul play with largely circumstantial evidence, Stealing America does offer useful advice (vote on paper, fools!) for those worried about our creeping American tyranny." — Time Out New York
Posted Jul 31, 2008
3/6 78% Bustin' Down the Door (2008) " While it's pleasurable to watch surf legends wax nostalgic about fissures in the precorporate surf lifestyle, Bustin' would be better served by delving a bit deeper into the erosion of a native culture." — Time Out New York
