Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
1/5	25%	The Divide (2012)	" One to avoid." — Daily Express Posted Apr 20, 2012
1/5	63%	Blood Car (2007)	" Blood Car may have been collecting prizes and earning praise for its supposedly wickedly twisted satire but it still seems trashy, B-movie junk." — Daily Express Posted Feb 23, 2012
1/5	0%	How To Stop Being A Loser ()	" What a charmless embarrassment." — Daily Express Posted Nov 19, 2011
1/5	17%	Travellers ()	" An amateurish, low-budget bloodbath." — Daily Express Posted Jan 18, 2011
1/5	0%	Fred: The Movie (2010)	" If the only Freds you are aware of are Astaire or Flintstone then I'm afraid that Fred: The Movie will come as a terrible shock." — Daily Express Posted Dec 21, 2010
1/5	4%	Vampires Suck (2010)	" A witless, puerile spoof of the Twilight movies." — Daily Express Posted Oct 18, 2010
1/5	——	Garfield's Pet Force (2009)	" This brief animated feature feels like a bit of a cheap rip-off that might work as a time-filler on children's television but doesn't warrant the expense of a family trip to the cinema." — Daily Express Posted Oct 11, 2010
1/5	10%	Grown Ups (2010)	" Full of obvious jokes and schmaltzy sentiment, Grown Ups is as much fun as watching endless home movies of people you really don't know very well." — Daily Express Posted Aug 30, 2010
1/5	14%	Our Family Wedding (2010)	" This leaden romantic comedy feels like a pilot for a television series that never made the grade." — Daily Express Posted Jun 21, 2010
1/5	41%	Death at a Funeral (2010)	" Avoid at all costs." — Daily Express Posted Jun 7, 2010
1/5	0%	Pimp (2010)	" Tight close-ups and direct-to- camera confessionals are the order of the day in a film so peppered with sleazy sex, casual violence and endless swearing that it comes perilously close to caricature. Nobody's finest hour." — Daily Express Posted May 21, 2010
1/5	8%	Furry Vengeance (2010)	" A feeble family comedy that really tests your patience." — Daily Express Posted May 10, 2010
1/5	18%	Gentlemen Broncos (2009)	" This deliberately amateurish, self-indulgent effort manages to be odd while rarely remembering to be funny." — Daily Express Posted May 3, 2010
1/5	18%	Valentine's Day (2010)	" The romantic-comedy formula is so barely disguised, it feels like it should be a spoof." — Daily Express Posted Feb 16, 2010
1/5	26%	The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard (2009)	" It sounds a passable premise but what we get is a toe-curling disappointment that wastes the talent of some familiar television faces. No sale." — Daily Express Posted Oct 23, 2009
1/5	43%	Shorts (Shorts: The Adventures of the Wishing Rock) (2009)	" A chaotic, hyperactive, sugar-rush of a film with special effects that appear quaintly hand-knitted and low-tech." — Daily Express Posted Aug 24, 2009
1/5	18%	Dance Flick (2009)	" Fart jokes and fat gags are top of the agenda in this flat-footed parody." — Daily Express Posted Aug 24, 2009
1/5	48%	Antichrist (2009)	" A garbled, appallingly misogynistic fantasy that makes little sense and plays like torture porn cloaked in artistic pretensions." — Daily Express Posted Jul 28, 2009
1/5	15%	Year One (2009)	" The jokes are obvious and tend towards the scatological. The rambling dialogue also makes this an endurance test. Year One, Audience Enjoyment Nil." — Daily Express Posted Jul 3, 2009
1/5	22%	Push (2009)	" Director Paul McGuigan serves this up with a flashy swagger but there is no disguising the fact that it is an incomprehensible mess." — Daily Express Posted Feb 26, 2009
	37%	From Paris with Love (2010)	" Murder, mayhem and a wildly improbable yarn ensue in this tiresome flick." — Daily Express Posted Feb 26, 2010
	21%	Leap Year (2010)	" Amy Adams can add sparkle to even the most lacklustre screenplays and that seems to be her function in Leap Year, a disappointing romantic comedy set in the kind of Ireland that only exists in the movies." — Daily Express Posted Feb 26, 2010
	28%	Extraordinary Measures (2010)	" Despite the heavyweight presence of Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser, the film feels too much like a television production than something that merits big screen status." — Daily Express Posted Feb 26, 2010
	6%	All About Steve (2009)	" A comedy so irritating and cheerless that you wonder if the cast were blackmailed into appearing." — Daily Express Posted Jan 15, 2010
	48%	The Book of Eli (2010)	" This po-faced adventure has more in common with the Kevin Costner clinker The Postman than anything touched by the hand of a Pulitzer prize-winning novelist." — Daily Express Posted Jan 15, 2010
	41%	44 Inch Chest (2010)	" Monologues float and sting like a Muhammad Ali punch, words are like weapons, expletives are strung together with such ferocious precision that they sound like poetry. Shame the plot is virtually non-existent and the ultimate effect is tiresome." — Daily Express Posted Jan 15, 2010
	8%	Fireball (Muay Thai Dunk) (2009)	" Highly resistible." — Daily Express Posted Jan 8, 2010
	10%	St Trinian's II: The Legend of Fritton's Gold (2009)	" Oliver Parker and Barnaby Thompson do nothing here to destroy a winning formula which is cannily constructed to appeal to the target audience of teenage girls and nobody else." — Screen International Posted Dec 30, 2009
	21%	Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (2009)	" Funnniest moment? The loud snores from a fellow critic at the press preview." — Daily Express Posted Dec 18, 2009
	10%	St Trinian's II: The Legend of Fritton's Gold (2009)	" The slapdash sequel doesn't tamper with the winning formula, which means lots more joyless slapstick, crude stereotypes and girls behaving very badly." — Daily Express Posted Dec 18, 2009
	48%	Glorious 39 (2009)	" Romola Garai is extremely good but the film is an elegant disappointment." — Daily Express Posted Nov 20, 2009
	64%	Harry Brown (2010)	" A morally dubious thriller that is caught between social realism and lurid sensationalism." — Daily Express Posted Nov 13, 2009
	22%	Sorority Row (2009)	" Sorority Row proves to be just another crass slasher movie, recycling familiar ingredients to diminishing effect." — Screen International Posted Sep 9, 2009
	39%	Imagine That (2009)	" Sickly slush that is intermittently enlivened by Thomas Haden Church as Evan's goofy business rival." — Daily Express Posted Aug 14, 2009
	56%	Orphan (2009)	" After a slow-burning start Orphan degenerates into an increasingly grisly, far-fetched affair with a jaw-dropping twist that has you chortling with disbelief." — Daily Express Posted Aug 7, 2009
	34%	G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra (2009)	" You wonder how the actors kept straight faces making this shameless codswallop." — Daily Express Posted Aug 7, 2009
	84%	Rumba (2008)	" Some of the elaborate routines of escalating chaos raise a sympathetic smile but mostly Rumba feels like being forced to watch a mime artist for an hour and quarter." — Daily Express Posted Jul 31, 2009
	29%	Mad, Sad & Bad ()	" Despite moments of poignancy you are left wondering why this contrived affair has strayed into the cinema." — Daily Express Posted Jul 31, 2009
	27%	Land of the Lost (2009)	" This big-budget revamp of the Seventies TV series flounders around with little consistency of tone, courting kids with roaring dinosaurs and visual gags, then winking at adults with near‑the‑knuckle asides." — Daily Express Posted Jul 31, 2009
	21%	G-Force (2009)	" The action scenes are much more impressive than the predictable plot." — Daily Express Posted Jul 31, 2009
	85%	Kisses (2010)	" The unknown child actors are appealing but Kisses tries too hard to pluck at the heartstrings." — Daily Express Posted Jul 17, 2009
	13%	The Informers (2009)	" The film has a slick surface sheen and evocative soundtrack (Simple Minds, A Flock Of Seagulls, etc) but those are just incidental pleasures in a languid condemnation of soulless excess." — Daily Express Posted Jul 17, 2009
	22%	Fired Up (2009)	" Fired Up will never win any prizes for wit or originality. The jokes are obvious, the plot is predictable and the whole formulaic film feels like a gentler throwback to racy Eighties teen comedies like Porky's." — Daily Express Posted Jul 10, 2009
	8%	Freakdog (Red Mist) (2009)	" Red Mist is a lazy, incoherent shocker with nothing to recommend it." — Daily Express Posted Jul 3, 2009
	11%	Beyond The Fire ()	" Beyond the Fire is a well-intentioned but plodding attempt to address the trauma of sexual abuse." — Daily Express Posted Jun 19, 2009
	37%	Gigantic (2009)	" A likable cast brings some charm and humour to Gigantic but it remains an overly mannered, self-conscious effort." — Daily Express Posted Jun 19, 2009
	83%	Telstar (Telstar: The Joe Meek Story) (2009)	" The film lurches uncertainly in tone from frisky nostalgia to fatalistic drama without really getting under the skin of one of the forgotten pioneers of British pop." — Daily Express Posted Jun 19, 2009
	20%	Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)	" Director Michael Bay has always had a passion for big, noisy spectacles and Revenge Of The Fallen is a bravura display of his ability to mastermind global destruction. What it lacks is the human touch, decent dialogue, novelty and restraint." — Daily Express Posted Jun 19, 2009
	48%	Doghouse (2009)	" A grotesque misogynistic romp, Doghouse is too laddish and corny to even hold a candle to the witty Shaun Of The Dead. Perhaps Lesbian Vampire Killers wasn't so bad after all." — Daily Express Posted Jun 12, 2009
	25%	Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience (2009)	" If you have no idea who these bland Disney charmers are or why they appear to be so popular, then this perfunctory concert film is unlikely to leave you any the wiser." — Daily Express Posted May 29, 2009
