4.5 25% Killer Elite (2011) " I'm always a fan of more Yvonne Strahovski in my life, but her useless character in the film should have been the first thing to go when they were cutting this convoluted mess down to a reasonable running time." — Flixist.com
Posted Sep 23, 2011
5.8 86% Cedar Rapids (2011) " There's definitely plenty to laugh about in Cedar Rapids, there just isn't too much to applaud about." — Flixist.com
Posted Feb 11, 2011
15% A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) " To summarize this angry rant: boring, cliché, too serious and a waste of an icon." — Examiner.com
Posted Apr 30, 2010
37% From Paris with Love (2010) " The kind of action movie that makes you wish there was a partially rotten tomato." — Examiner.com
Posted Feb 5, 2010
21% Leap Year (2010) " Cookie-cutter rom-coms can work well, but this is one you can skip any year." — Examiner.com
Posted Jan 8, 2010
61% Brothers (2009) " In the end the great performances can't save the film. Mediocrity drips from every other aspect of the film, and you can feel it trying too hard to convince us that we should care." — Examiner.com
Posted Dec 3, 2009
12% Couples Retreat (2009) " For those of us who were weened on the idea that we're all "money, and we don't even know it" Couples Retreat is a little difficult to see, but is it bad? Not entirely. It's not entirely good either." — Examiner.com
Posted Oct 9, 2009
39% Surrogates (2009) " Surrogates is yet another film that got swallowed by the Hollywood machine and spit out the other side. It's a surrogate of itself." — Examiner.com
Posted Sep 25, 2009
7% Post Grad (2009) " Post Grad heaps more bad on top of the bad that it has already delivered until all it can do is wallow in its own cliche, wondering why even the teenage girls in the front row of the theater -- the very girls that should be lapping its message up -" — Examiner.com
Posted Aug 21, 2009
13% The Ugly Truth (2009) " The amount of truth in The Ugly Truth is null and void, and that means you're just left with The Ugly." — Examiner.com
Posted Jul 24, 2009
68% Public Enemies (2009) " You desperately want to be grabbed and taken along for what should be one of the most exciting "true stories" in history, but instead you're stuck wondering why actors as good as Depp and Bale aren't able to make their characters come to life and a direct" — Examiner.com
Posted Jul 1, 2009
20% Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) " The first film was a summer action movie masterpiece, this one can't even make giant, transforming robots stay interesting for its entire running time." — Examiner.com
Posted Jun 23, 2009
15% Year One (2009) " This is Jack Black and Michael Cera doing Jack Black and Michael Cera, the problem is that that was funny about three years ago and now it's just kind of predictable and boring." — Examiner.com
Posted Jun 19, 2009
33% Terminator Salvation (2009) " Somehow along the way everyone fooled themselves into thinking that Terminator Salvation was going to be a good movie and not a slapped together, franchise expanding piece of corporate film making. Jokes on us." — Examiner.com
Posted May 21, 2009
37% X-Men Origins - Wolverine (2009) " Here's a lesson Hollywood needs to learn about comic book movies and fast: just because there are hundreds of heroes doesn't mean that every one of them has to show up on film in the next three years or so." — Examiner.com
Posted May 1, 2009
40% Fighting (2009) " Replacing a dance off with bloody knuckles is just bad movie making." — Examiner.com
Posted Apr 24, 2009
51% Observe and Report (2009) " It's like there's a really great dark comedy in there desperately trying to get out, but it can't because fart jokes make more money." — Examiner.com
Posted Apr 10, 2009
27% Fast & Furious (2009) " The words plod, slow and drag should never even come close to a car chase movie, but that's what comes to mind instantly after watching this clunker." — Examiner.com
Posted Apr 3, 2009
72% Sunshine Cleaning (2009) " If the whole thing wasn't so melodramatic every ten seconds the fun and quirkiness would have shown through far more easily." — Examiner.com
Posted Mar 27, 2009
42% The Last House on the Left (2009) " If you want good revenge read some Shakespeare, if you want blood see a slasher, if you want to waste two hours then visit the last house on the left." — Examiner.com
Posted Mar 13, 2009
18% Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009) " Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li is not the movie Street Fighter fans have been clamoring for, but that is mostly because Street Fighter fans haven't really been clamoring for a movie." — Examiner.com
Posted Feb 28, 2009
25% Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009) " It's even more disappointing because from the general plot of the film it is clear that had the film makers gone in a few different directions Shopaholic could have been a colorful dress from Betsey Johnson instead of just another little black noth" — Examiner.com
Posted Feb 13, 2009
25% Friday the 13th (2009) " If you really want to see this movie just go home and rent Friday the 13th parts 1-3 and if you want to see the best film in the series rent part 6." — Examiner.com
Posted Feb 13, 2009
28% New In Town (2009) " Would it be a valid review if there was just a picture of a cookie cutter on this page instead of text?" — Examiner.com
Posted Jan 30, 2009
33% Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009) " Paul Blart delivers laughs, yes, but it's only one great slapstick actor and a little bit of heart away from being just another truly idiotic comedy." — Examiner.com
Posted Jan 16, 2009
11% Bride Wars (2009) " Bride Wars is absolutely harmless in the worst kind of way." — Examiner.com
Posted Jan 9, 2009
12% The Unborn (2009) " Even once the "scary" monsters start ramping up their appearances the film is still dead and Goyer's direction feels more like a trippy music video for some Eastern European techno band than anything out of a horror film." — Examiner.com
Posted Jan 8, 2009
14% The Spirit (2008) " The Spirit tries hard enough that watching the movie isn't a total bust, but it is that immense effort to try to be something -- anything -- that turns the film into a confused little piece of visual nothingness." — Examiner.com
Posted Dec 23, 2008
30/100 25% Wrath of the Titans (2012) " Wrath of the Titans is proof that while ugly pictures make a bad film worse, prettier ones don't make a bad film better." — Flixist.com
Posted Mar 30, 2012
35/100 23% What to Expect When You're Expecting (2012) " The closest they come to a minority is Jennifer Lopez adopting a black baby, which is about as much of a minority experience as getting a taxi easily in New York." — Flixist.com
Posted May 18, 2012
40/100 25% This Means War (2012) " Pine and Hardy have about as much chemistry going on as a high school where all the science teachers are out sick. " — Flixist.com
Posted Feb 17, 2012
40/100 3% Jack and Jill (2011) " Movies like this should be stricken from film history and put in a closet never to be seen again. It's just bad, bad, bad, bad, bad." — Flixist.com
Posted Nov 11, 2011
42/100 59% Wanderlust (2012) " Two words: blooper reel. Yea, it has one." — Flixist.com
Posted Feb 24, 2012
44/100 53% The Iron Lady (2012) " It's one of those roles that you know Streep is just going to knock out of the park because she knocks every role out of the park -- and she does. You still shouldn't see Iron Lady." — Flixist.com
Posted Jan 13, 2012
45/100 25% Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011) " You can't blame a film based on a book for adhering to the book's idiotic storyline. You can, however, blame it for sucking as a movie." — Flixist.com
Posted Nov 17, 2011
4.5/10 59% Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark (2011) " There's scary to be found in this premise, but there's none to be found in the film itself." — Flixist.com
Posted Aug 27, 2011
48/100 41% Dark Shadows (2012) " There's fun to be had here, but it's buried under all the fun we're supposed to be having." — Flixist.com
Posted May 11, 2012
4.9/10 17% I Don't Know How She Does It (2011) " By using cliche characters as gags and not actually developing any of its female leads but one it simply reaffirms all the issues its story is trying to dispell. " — Flixist.com
Posted Sep 16, 2011
5/10 44% Cowboys & Aliens (2011) " It's a Western that doesn't feel like a Western, a science fiction film without the allure of science fiction and an action movie without good action. It's disappointing." — Flixist.com
Posted Jul 29, 2011
5.05/10 35% The Hangover Part II (2011) " The Hangover Part II falls into the greatest trap of the comedy sequel: assuming the audience wants the exact same thing, but even more so. " — Flixist.com
Posted May 27, 2011
51/100 62% The Five-Year Engagement (2012) " The Five-Year Engagement is content with being funny, a little charming, and, in the end, shallow enough to be approachable." — Flixist.com
Posted Apr 27, 2012
52/100 43% American Reunion (2012) " For a movie about what happens when people grow up American Reunion is surprisingly immature in its comedy. " — Flixist.com
Posted Apr 6, 2012
5.7/10 20% The Rite (2011) " It's not necessarily boring, but when you come into a movie expecting crazy Anthony Hopkins and all you get is mildly eccentric Anthony Hopkins for 80 minutes you do feel a little robbed." — Flixist.com
Posted Jan 28, 2011
5.75/10 34% Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011) " Not as clever as the first, as fun as the second or as epic as the third, On Stranger Tides is still a decently fun swashbuckler it just isn't a very good one." — Flixist.com
Posted May 19, 2011
3/5 36% Lockout (2012) " Yes, Lockout is idiotic and downright poorly made at points, but with a winning star and a bevvy of one-liners it's easily more fun than a lot of fodder out there." — Examiner.com
Posted Apr 13, 2012
3/5 23% Sucker Punch (2011) " The problem is when everything is awesome, nothing is." — Examiner.com
Posted Mar 25, 2011
6.1/10 38% Cars 2 (2011) " As an animated feature Cars 2 is good as long as you can put up with Mater, but as a Pixar movie its missing much of the magic that you've come to expect from the studio." — Flixist.com
Posted Jun 24, 2011
63/100 35% Battleship (2012) " Battleship is a movie where even benign satellite messages sent from NASA to distant worlds are giant laser beams that shoot through space causing lens flares and surround sound action." — Flixist.com
Posted May 18, 2012
65/100 61% Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) " The relationships are dull, the villain never really gets any time to grow into the character he should be and the action is the only reason to tune into the film." — Flixist.com
Posted Dec 16, 2011
6.8/10 46% Hereafter (2010) " Hereafter is content to sit back and do nothing - a smart, well directed, well acted nothing." — Examiner.com
