Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
0/4 —— Gringo Wedding () " There are a lot of offensive things about Gringo Wedding, an ostensible romantic comedy partially made in South Florida. It's racist, sexist and homophobic. But perhaps most galling is how stupid it is." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted May 4, 2007
0/4 0% Singing Forest (2003) " The Singing Forest is not just incompetently written, directed and performed, it's also breezily offensive." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Apr 22, 2004
.5/4 6% Full of It (2007) " Somehow Full of It got made and got distributed, despite its nearly fanatical lack of wit or originality." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Mar 1, 2007
.5/4 57% Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006) " It's rare to encounter a movie as aggressive in its ridiculousness as Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. So, credit where credit is due: This is an extremely ambitious terrible film." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Jan 4, 2007
0.5/4 68% Snakes on a Plane (2006) " The greatest title in history is, when executed as an actual movie, venomously awful." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Aug 18, 2006
.5/4 13% The Dukes of Hazzard (2005) " It's dumb as rocks and thoroughly unnecessary." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Aug 4, 2005
0.5/4 42% Kicking & Screaming (2005) " Kicking & Screaming is barely worth the effort it takes to think of synonyms for 'bad.'" — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted May 12, 2005
.5/4 9% The Dust Factory (2004) " It's actually just kind of stupid." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Oct 14, 2004
.5/4 15% Sleepover (2004) " The filmmakers seem to think the audience they covet consists entirely of dumb, shallow kids who'll buy anything they're told is cool." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Jul 8, 2004
1/4 19% The Ex (2007) " The Ex, directed with a breathtaking lack of instinct by Jesse Peretz, is always at least a half-beat off." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted May 10, 2007
1/4 11% Perfect Stranger (2007) " Perfect Stranger is Halle Berry's latest descent into career purgatory." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Apr 12, 2007
1/4 63% Music and Lyrics (2007) " Music and Lyrics can't even pull off the simple task of casting two actors who share a slight whiff of chemistry." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Feb 14, 2007
1/4 5% Because I Said So (2007) " The brain recoils at even having to recount the ill-conceived plot." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Feb 1, 2007
74% The Painted Veil (2006) " There is not an actor in The Painted Veil who is anything less than supremely talented. But despite having a razor-sharp script from which to work, [director John] Curran can't quite get a single character to come fully alive." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Dec 28, 2006
1/4 38% The Nativity Story (2006) " Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been three weeks since I saw The Nativity Story, and I still think it is so far from divine as to in fact be abominably bad." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Nov 30, 2006
1/4 21% Man of the Year (2006) " In fact, there may well have been one or two funny lines in Man of the Year, but by that point they were lost in the staggering repulsiveness." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Oct 12, 2006
1/4 27% Waist Deep (2006) " A movie that is cheerfully, indiscriminately violent, exploiting exactly the same viciously cyclical culture on which it pretends to be providing trenchant commentary." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Jun 22, 2006
1/4 25% The Da Vinci Code (2006) " The movie is woefully plotted and just flat-out, eye-crossingly dull." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted May 18, 2006
1/4 7% Basic Instinct 2 (2006) " The biggest problem with Basic Instinct 2 is that it's not the worst movie ever made. It's a shame; at least then, it would have some significance." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Mar 30, 2006
1/4 20% Rumor Has It (2005) " Rumor Has It is glossy, pretty and utterly forgettable, just like -- except for that last part, evidently -- Aniston's fabulous hair." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Dec 22, 2005
1/4 41% Where the Truth Lies (2005) " Alas, the melodrama is utterly unsexy, sloppy and dull." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Nov 3, 2005
1/4 28% Elizabethtown (2005) " Elizabethtown feels decidedly impersonal and, even worse, enormously contrived." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Oct 13, 2005
1/4 71% Voces inocentes, (Innocent Voices) (2005) " The subject matter of Innocent Voices almost tricks you into believing the movie has some inherent worth." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Oct 13, 2005
1/4 52% Four Brothers (2005) " Clumsy, dumb, offensive drama." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Aug 11, 2005
1/4 5% The Perfect Man (2005) " A movie this insipid somehow makes Herbie: Fully Loaded seem promising in comparison." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Jun 16, 2005
1/4 39% Kingdom of Heaven (2005) " A staggeringly lazy, leg-twitchingly dull, unholy mess." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted May 5, 2005
53% Melinda and Melinda (2005) " The dual stories in Melinda and Melinda never manage to be cohesive or meaningful enough to register as purely comic or tragic." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Mar 24, 2005
1/4 20% The Ring Two (2005) " Not, for even a tiny second, legitimately scary." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Mar 17, 2005
1/4 4% Modigliani (2004) " A fantastic reminder that the only thing worse than a bad movie is a bad, pretentious movie." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Feb 3, 2005
1/4 9% White Noise (2005) " The movie is a compendium of white upper-middle-class suburban banality, cheap scares and eye-crossingly monotonous drama." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Jan 6, 2005
1/4 39% Birth (2004) " Captures the triumph of pretentiousness over intelligent filmmaking, and willful morosity over character dimension." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Oct 28, 2004
1/4 7% Surviving Christmas (2004) " This crass, sloppy comedy is Affleck's fifth consecutive lousy movie." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Oct 21, 2004
23% Wicker Park (2004) " Five minutes into this eye-crossingly dull drama, you wonder not just what is going on, but why on earth you should care. (The short answer: You should not.)" — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Sep 3, 2004
1/4 19% She Hate Me (2004) " A train wreck." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Aug 19, 2004
1/4 10% Catwoman (2004) " [A] sloppy, dull, brain-dead waste of a movie." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Jul 22, 2004
1/4 23% Van Helsing (2004) " An excellent example of filmmakers throwing bundles of money at a proverbial wall and seeing what sticks." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted May 6, 2004
1/4 4% Godsend (2003) " Easily the dumbest thriller to be released since last month's Taking Lives." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Apr 29, 2004
1/4 2% Twisted (2004) " Twisted, despite managing tiny, sad bursts of suspense, is barely worth the energy it will take to mock it." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Feb 27, 2004
1/4 14% Welcome To Mooseport (2004) " The movie is way too long, way too dull and way too unfunny." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Feb 19, 2004
1/4 77% The Cooler (2003) " Manages to be somewhat compelling until it crashes and burns in a ridiculous finale." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Jan 15, 2004
1/4 27% Paycheck (2003) " Blazingly stupid, punishingly dull." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Dec 25, 2003
1/4 11% Dr. Seuss - The Cat in the Hat (2003) " A very expensive, 73-minute commercial for related merchandise." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Nov 21, 2003
1/4 15% Gothika (2003) " It's a misleadingly foreboding, cheaply scary and remarkably stupid thriller." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Nov 21, 2003
1/4 43% The Human Stain (2003) " An impersonation of a fine movie that never for a moment convinces you that it actually is one." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Oct 31, 2003
1/4 14% Beyond Borders (2003) " Dull and sanctimonious." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted Oct 24, 2003
17% Whatever It Takes (2000) " Whatever It Takes takes old tale, ruins it." — Miami Herald
Posted Jan 1, 2000
15% Idle Hands (1999) " Deliberately, gleefully orchestrated camp." — Miami Herald
Posted Jan 1, 2000
67% Stir of Echoes (1999) " Koepp relies almost entirely on the isolated shocking images, ignoring the human element at the center in favor of digitalized special effects and rapid-fire editing." — Miami Herald
Posted Jan 1, 2000
16% The Astronaut's Wife (1999) " There is a terribly fine line between nihilism and rampant idiocy, and he hurls himself across it." — Miami Herald
Posted Jan 1, 2000
9% I Dreamed of Africa (2000) " A dream of a substantial production; a wisp of a movie that dissipates the moment you leave the theater." — Miami Herald
