1/5 38% The Eagle (2011) " Channing Tatum, with his usual deadpan expression, can't decide if he's going to speak normally or try out that British accent he learned in school. He floats back and forth between them and it's a disaster." — SheKnows Network
Posted Feb 11, 2011
2/10 20% Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) " I know they had to get this script in before the writer's strike and that it was really rushed, but did no one proof read this thing?" — JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Posted Jun 23, 2009
3/10 25% Four Christmases (2008) " Must everyone make a Christmas film every year? Must it be the same story over and over again? This is why we have the Hallmark Channel. Listen, if your film is not Elf or Bad Santa, I've seen it." — UGO
Posted Nov 25, 2008
2/5 38% Cars 2 (2011) " This is also one of the most violent Pixar films, with cars being shot at, thrown into the ocean to drown and dying. Yes, dying. It tries to be a Bond film, but when was the last time you let your five-year-old watch one of those?" — SheKnows Network
Posted Jun 24, 2011
2/5 56% Unknown (2011) " I hesitate to be this brutal, but there is really no way around it. January Jones was just terrible. She barely moves her face, she seemingly has no emotion, even during a life or death moment, and her scenes with Neeson were just...creepy." — SheKnows Network
Posted Feb 19, 2011
4/10 15% Year One (2009) " What LIFE OF BRIAN did so well, was take a strong narrative and dress it up with silly humor and a naked man with a long beard. YEAR ONE has nothing to fall back on here. It's like they weren't even trying." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Posted Jun 23, 2009
4/10 25% Bedtime Stories (2008) " Bedtime Stories isn't meant for us (adults). You know you're not the target audience if, when it starts raining gum balls, you don't think about eating them. You think about whether or not they would dent your car." — IGN Movies
Posted Dec 24, 2008
4/10 64% Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) " I am tired of the same story lines in animated films. Be unique, not part of the herd. Be yourself and your Daddy will eventually be proud of you. Monkeys and penguins can fix planes with spit...Ok, that one is new." — UGO
Posted Nov 6, 2008
4.5/10 87% Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) " I'm pretty sure this would have made total sense if I was on some of the drugs that McDonagh was taking" — JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Posted Nov 20, 2009
5/10 39% Surrogates (2009) " I wanted to love it. I was somewhat entertained. I'd like to go check out the graphic novelit is loosely based on. But it left me as emotionally cold as an unplugged surrogate." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Posted Sep 25, 2009
5/10 49% Twilight (2008) " And in this world, vampires have no fangs, they don't sleep and they...well, they sparkle in the sun. Sigh. Glittery vampires. Pretty sparkly ones that don't have fangs." — UGO
Posted Nov 21, 2008
5/10 16% Max Payne (2008) " There were moments that needed some explanation and characters that needed a quite a bit of fleshing out. But it was violent and fun and since that's why I played the game, I left the theater satisfied." — UGO
Posted Oct 17, 2008
5/10 59% Flash of Genius (2008) " If you spend the entire movie making sure I'm aware that someone is socially awkward, he shouldn't turn into Henry Drumond from Inherit t the Wind during the closing argument." — UGO
Posted Oct 3, 2008
5/10 26% Eagle Eye (2008) " It's worth a look for the effects, or if you just want to scare yourself into throwing out your cellphone and living off the grid." — UGO
Posted Sep 25, 2008
5/10 36% Igor (2008) " I have been singing 'Tomorrow' from Annie for a few days now. Someone is going to murder me or I'm going to have to smack myself in the head and I blame it all on Igor." — UGO
Posted Sep 21, 2008
5.5/10 49% Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010) " My problems with it are the same as with most screen adaptations of young adult novels...they spend so much time struggling to explain the world they're creating that they forget which parts of the story people want to see...they figure that people (kids)" — Newsarama
Posted Feb 12, 2010
3/5 85% The Tree of Life (2011) " ...like watching the most attractive person you've ever seen in your life tell the most boring, drawn-out story you've ever heard. It made me want to grab Malick by the shoulders and yell, "Focus!"" — SheKnows Network
Posted May 27, 2011
6/10 13% Jonah Hex (2010) " It's not going to rock your world, but if you're comfortable with the comic style and the super weapons/crazy guns that would have blown the minds of any Civil War soldier, the action will keep you entertained." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Posted Jun 18, 2010
6/10 83% Avatar (2009) " This film has been hyped to death. "Groundbreaking!" "Amazing!" "It will change the industry!" I'm sure you've heard it all. And in some ways, it's so very, very true. In others, it's a big fat lie. I don't think I've ever been this split over a movie." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Posted Dec 11, 2009
6/10 18% Gentlemen Broncos (2009) " GENTLEMEN BRONCOS feels like a Saturday Night Liveskit that's gone on about ten minutes too long." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Posted Oct 30, 2009
6/10 68% Public Enemies (2009) " Great performances, great camera work, but just not engrossing. It did accomplish one thing though. It made me want to go read a book on Dillinger so I can be moved in the way I should have been by the film." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Posted Jul 1, 2009
6/10 43% The Proposal (2009) " I am going to do something I've never done before. I hope you're all sitting down....ahem. I am actually going to say something nice about a chick flick." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Posted Jun 23, 2009
6/10 65% Watchmen (2009) " I didn't hate it. In fact, I'm pretty sure I liked it. I was just disappointed. I'm absolutely seeing it again, but disappointed nonetheless." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Posted Feb 25, 2009
6/10 52% Nothing Like the Holidays (2008) " Watching Leguizamo dance to the 'The Show' and compete in a 'who's got the bigger chainsaw/penis' contest was certainly funnier than Vince Vaughn in a short skirt or Reese Witherspoon trying to figure out how a breast pump works." — IGN Movies
Posted Dec 16, 2008
6/10 65% Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008) " I've never seen a film where people look like they're having more fun together. If you don't offend easily, Zack and Miri is a riot. And Seth Rogen as a porn star is no worse than Ron Jeremy, right?" — UGO
Posted Oct 30, 2008
6/10 46% Lakeview Terrace (2008) " Aside from the uneven pacing, it's a thought-provoking film and pretty entertaining. I just don't think it needed to be a thriller. It just seemed like an excuse to start people talking." — UGO
Posted Sep 21, 2008
3.5/5 29% Take Me Home Tonight (2011) " It's not high art. It's not going to move you to save the world. But if you like films from that era, you'll be laughing your ass off." — SheKnows Network
Posted Mar 4, 2011
7/10 29% The Tempest (2010) " The role of Ariel (Whishaw) is always a bit difficult. The camera spent an excruciatingly long time making sure we noticed those breasts. After a while, I wanted to yell, 'I get it. Unisex. Move on.' " — JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Posted Dec 7, 2010
7/10 50% Tron Legacy (2010) " If you're a fan like me, it's worth seeing for both the nostalgia and the debate you're going to have after the film. If you're not, it's worth seeing for the visuals." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Posted Dec 2, 2010
7/10 73% Machete (2010) " (VIDEO) There were, what...seven, eight, nine decapitations and two naked women in the first five minutes of the movie? It's kind of hard to dislike a movie like that, but you HAVE to know what you're going to see." — Huffington Post
Posted Sep 4, 2010
7/10 37% From Paris with Love (2010) " . Ah, John. I missed this! You deliver one liners like a pro, and you even managed to make me laugh at the whole PULP FICTION, 'royale with cheese' nod. (Which, by the way, would have been far funnier if I hadn't seen it in the trailer!) With some of the" — JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Posted Feb 5, 2010
7/10 67% Brüno (Bruno) (2009) " Unless you are really, really, really, really difficult to offend, you will be upset by something in this film. Seriously, count the "really"s. Do the math. Prepare yourself. Sacha Baron Cohen does not pull punches. If you were disturbed by BORAT, you are" — UGO
Posted Jul 11, 2009
7/10 39% Inkheart (2009) " Inkheart is a fantastic read, and I wasn't expecting the film to live up to it at all. Much simpler than the book, the film is still a pretty fantastic ride. The story is changed around a bit but the main characters are there, exactly as you remember them" — JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Posted Jan 23, 2009
7/10 65% What Doesn't Kill You (2008) " The film is well done, gritty and raw, clearly showing the desperation in a city where opportunities are limited and crime is just another job. Ethan Hawke is a pretty risky choice as he just screams supermodel, not gangster, but after a bit of drooling," — UGO
Posted Dec 13, 2008
7/10 88% Bolt (2008) " I'm never a big fan of animal films and I admit it's because, though I am by no means a crier, pets losing their friends or getting lost gets me all choked up. Frankly, it's embarrassing. But if you can make me sniffle, you've won me over. Bolt...sniff" — UGO
Posted Nov 21, 2008
7/10 65% Quantum of Solace (2008) " Since this is really the origin story of a man who kills people for a living, a darker tone makes total sense. I mean, really...do you want to go back to jet-packs?" — UGO
Posted Nov 13, 2008
7/10 98% Let the Right One In (2008) " I don't care how cold it is in Sweden, I'm not Ok with twelve-year-olds who don't wipe their noses. That being said, I just saw something completely unique and surprising. Who knew the vampire genre wasn't over and done with?" — UGO
Posted Oct 24, 2008
7.5/10 37% Eat Pray Love (2010) " Eat Pray Love is ultimately charming and inspirational. Though it doesn't have quite the impact of the book, it will likely leave you pondering your life choices and forgiving your flaws. It will certainly have you forgiving the few flaws in the film. " — Huffington Post
Posted Aug 13, 2010
89% Moon (2009) " The interior shots are well done and the series of extreme close ups on Rockwell's face really give you a sense of isolation." — JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Posted Jun 12, 2009
B+ 60% Real Steel (2011) " "I don't think this is something your average 35-year-old couple will go out and see on a date but if you've got kids, it's great." — Think Hero
Posted Sep 30, 2011
8/10 82% Super 8 (2011) " ...like E.T., this is an adventure story that revolves around a group of ordinary kids doing something extraordinary, often despite the adults in their world. " — Screen Junkies
Posted Jun 7, 2011
4/5 78% Fast Five (2011) " Making sure the audience knows that the writers ''get it'' with a little humor and some crazy action makes the silliness easy to forgive and fun to watch." — SheKnows Network
Posted Apr 29, 2011
B+ 63% Secretariat (2010) " The horse racing in the film is wonderful. It was shown from the horse's perspective...but I'm not sure the Oscar buzz is appropriate here." — Huffington Post
Posted Oct 11, 2010
8/10 58% Edge of Darkness (2010) " In a time when the films grossing the most are 3D, CGI monsters, it was a relief to see what is, essentially, a good old, well acted story. Other filmmakers would do well to remember that, as pretty as the icing is on a wedding cake, no one wants to eat i" — JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Posted Jan 29, 2010
8/10 86% Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (2009) " ...pure fun, start to finish. Fun. Laughing-my-ass-off, it's-raining-steak-and-gumballs, I-want-Steve-the-monkey-for-my-very-own fun. There was no huge life lesson, unless you count "diving into a giant gumball hill and eating it all makes you barf". Yeah" — JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Posted Sep 18, 2009
8/10 80% Nothing But the Truth (2008) " If you think you know the premise or believe that this is just a fictional retelling of the Judith Miller scandal from a few years back, I beg you to leave those preconceptions at the door. I know I went in with my own. Nothing But the Truth is none of" — UGO
Posted Dec 17, 2008
8/10 57% Special (2006) " A beautiful metaphor for the desperate need to be important in a world where we rarely make personal connections any more, Special deserves to be seen." — UGO
Posted Nov 21, 2008
8.5/10 90% Tangled (2010) " It may be CGI, but it looks hand drawn. It's absolutely gorgeous...and who knew Zachary Levi could sing?" — Huffington Post
Posted Nov 24, 2010
8.5/10 18% The Fourth Kind (2009) " The Fourth Kind was one of the scariest things I've seen in years. I'm going out to see it again, which tells you how much I care whether or not it's a hoax...I enjoyed every thrilling minute of it." — Huffington Post
Posted Nov 3, 2009
A- 92% Drive (2011) " I think it was a master acting class, honestly...the violence was amazing. It's not going to be for everyone but it's definitely worth seeing!" — Think Hero
