Posted Aug 24, 2001
0/4 21% Ghosts of Mars (2001) " The one intriguing thing about John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars is how such a dreadful screenplay could have made it onto celluloid." — New York Post
Posted Aug 24, 2001
0/4 12% Original Sin (2001) " The kind of movie that keeps you on your toes waiting for the next deadly serious absurdity." — New York Post
Posted Aug 3, 2001
0/4 50% Jurassic Park III (2001) " With the exception of some startlingly real and impressive dinosaur effects, its only virtue is brevity, running as it does a mere 92 minutes." — New York Post
Posted Jul 18, 2001
0/4 33% Angel Eyes (2001) " Its protagonists, their situation and its mechanical but mushy resolution are never remotely believable." — New York Post

Posted Nov 26, 2003
.5/4 26% Chelsea Walls (2001) " Calling it pretentious doesn't do justice to the toxic faux-bohemianism and unearned self-regard that bubble and ooze out of every aspect of Chelsea Walls." — New York Post
Posted Apr 19, 2002
0.5/4 9% The Skulls (2000) " Shot from one of the worst scripts to make it to the big screen in recent memory, it represents the sludge at the bottom of the Hollywood barrel." — New York Post

Posted Jan 1, 2000
1/4 21% Poco più di un anno fa (Adored: Diary of a Porn Star) (2003) " Not only is Adored amateurish and mawkish even by the standards of American 'gaysploitation' cinema, it's weirdly shy about showing nudity and sex." — New York Post
Posted May 28, 2004
1/4 16% Twist (2004) " More tedious than affecting, the film feels like an excuse for reproducing more of the kind of kinky imagery notoriously employed by fashion photographer Steven Meisel in his creepy pedophile advertisements for Calvin Klein." — New York Post
Posted May 21, 2004
1/4 60% The Dreamers (2004) " A kind of art-house Showgirls -- which actually exceeds Showgirls in its self-indulgence, shallowness and sheer stupidity." — New York Post
Posted Feb 6, 2004
1/4 20% Honey (2003) " Its by-the- numbers plot is depressingly familiar, and each line of dialogue is so predictable that the script could have been generated by a computer." — New York Post

Posted Aug 1, 2003
1/4 8% Gods and Generals (2003) " It is so lacking in flesh-and-blood characters, so unclear in its depiction of battles like Bull Run, and so nauseating in its gruesome sentimentality that it is all but unwatchable." — New York Post
Posted Feb 20, 2003
1/4 9% Darkness Falls (2003) " Could just as well have been titled Dumb Then Dumber for the way its plot makes decreasing sense even by the low standards of B horror flicks." — New York Post

1/4 43% The Rules of Attraction (2002) " Even if the enticing prospect of a lot of nubile young actors in a film about campus depravity didn't fade amid the deliberate, tiresome ugliness, it would be rendered tedious by Avary's failure to construct a story with even a trace of dramatic interest." — New York Post
Posted Oct 11, 2002
1/4 78% 8 Women (8 Femmes) (2002) " Inept, tedious kitsch that even at its best feels like John Waters minus the joie de vivre." — New York Post

Posted Sep 13, 2002
1/4 10% Juwanna Mann (2002) " This zillionth comedy about a guy who learns valuable lessons from his time as a woman is remarkably lacking in inspiration." — New York Post

Posted Mar 12, 2002

19% Joe Somebody (2001) " The demands of formula eventually stifle anything that even looks like inspiration or honesty." — New York Post
Posted Dec 21, 2001
28% Not Another Teen Movie (2001) " Many of the movie's targets are just too big and too obvious to elicit more than a smile of recognition, and the movie quickly degenerates into little more than a game of spot the (generally unfunny) reference for fans of the teen genre." — New York Post
Posted Dec 14, 2001
40% Vanilla Sky (2001) " The end isn't satisfying enough to justify their efforts and your time." — New York Post

Posted Jun 22, 2001
48% Russian Doll (2001) " The film resolves the romantic dilemma in the most artificial and unsatisfying way." — New York Post
Posted Jun 15, 2001
26% Swordfish (2001) " A film that reeks of stupidity and cynicism, one that makes you feel soiled just to have sat through it." — New York Post
Posted Jun 8, 2001
35% The Man Who Cried (2000) " Spotted with historical inaccuracies and groaning with dialogue so dreadful that it makes a fine cast look ridiculous again and again." — New York Post
Posted May 25, 2001
60% The King Is Alive (2001) " The performances Levring gets from his international cast are almost strong enough to distract you from his failure to develop any of the grand themes so self-consciously set-up by the choice of King Lear." — New York Post
Posted May 11, 2001
13% Town & Country (2000) " Feels like a ragged assemblage of parts from at least two entirely different movies." — New York Post
