"Talky and tacky house of horrors turkey. If you're going to create such an enormous fuss in this magic trick type of Hollywood gimmickry, you ought to have a rabbit in that hat. Suffice it to say that seeing is not necessarily believing." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jul 23, 2008
 
The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)32%
/
 
"With only a DNA witch's curse pig's snout compromising Ricci's otherwise exceedingly alluring physical assets, it doesn't make a lick of sense that prospective suitors are jumping out of windows after catching a glimpse of her disfigured beak." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jul 12, 2008
 
Penelope (2008)52%
/
 
"Far less would have been much more, though the geriatric protagonist's salty sexual wit and impulse to share a joint with a passing stranger, spice up the often dreary chronological procession of family episodes." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jul 12, 2008
 
The Stone Angel (2008)47%
/
 
"A procession of anger mismanagement protagonist episodes of rude behavior with assorted unbelievably receptive babes, and a glutton-for-punishment old flame (Naomie Harris) whom he manages to re-con into bed, before she wises up all over again." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jul 7, 2008
 
August (2008)36%
/
 
"Del Toro's followup is infused with the creative guru's unique imaginary world blending the fantastical and frightening, but plays out less like an adventure story on steroids, than a mass murderer's wet dream. " -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jul 6, 2008
 
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)87%
/
 
"For better or worse, Satan seems to have gotten his very own reality show and is loving all the attention, in this combo Exorcist, Blair Witch Project and clerics gone wild movie within a movie." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jul 5, 2008
 
Chronicles of an Exorcism (2007)n/a
/
 
"Taking its cue from the tabloids, this is yet another addition to that tacky category of scandal sheet cinema. Why do celebrities with charmed Hollywood lives imagine everyday people as a bunch of sleazy or dimwitted degenerates, misfits and assassins." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jul 4, 2008
 
Sleepwalking (2008)19%
/
 
"This mass versus class appeal for the sake of a discerning guzzling US elite carpet bagging it in China, smacks suspiciously of tea imperialism." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jul 4, 2008
 
All In This Tea (2008)82%
/
 
"Another tired family values tale about women who make bad parents without men around. Not to mention that wives of deployed military men don't need to struggle to make ends meet or for health insurance, the government does that. Kaphooey." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jul 3, 2008
 
Kabluey (2008)86%
/
 
"Penelope's gullible college coed swoons when the lecherous lecturer played by Ben Kingsley confesses that he's fallen in love with her breasts. You've come a long way backwards, baby. Penelope Cruz Boob Fetish Blues." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jul 2, 2008
 
Elegy (2008)60%
/
 
"Wanted shrieks along at such an unrelieved high pitch homicidal pace as the pathological protagonist passively morphs from dork to demon, however righteous, that the audience may soon start craving some of those pills that McAvoy's been popping." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jul 1, 2008
 
Wanted (2008)72%
/
 
"Cusack as a mercenary in bulltetproof designer suits and Hilary Duff doing a kinky Arab superstar sexpot shoving scorpions down her crotch, can't save this satire crossing the line between the chaos of war and the chaos of filmmaking." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jun 28, 2008
 
War, Inc. (2008)31%
/
 
"Master of disguise Perry's tangled web of narrative threads range from poignant to positively awful." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jun 27, 2008
 
Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns (2008)31%
/
 
"With small talk fueling this French Provincial porn more than the dull sex, you may be reading this movie and its subtitles, more than watching it. And while it's not clear why she's The Last Mistress, this babe could be The First Stalker." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jun 25, 2008
 
The Last Mistress (2008)76%
/
 
"This retro-espionage spoof is more giggles than satirical grit, and simply lacks the comic punch and charisma, along with the pungent Cold War flavor of the times that energized the original." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jun 22, 2008
 
Get Smart (2008)53%
/
 
"Lots of gab, a little flesh flashing, more gab, and not much action or momentum. French Kissing, Brokeback Mountain style." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jun 21, 2008
 
The Witnesses (2008)85%
/
 
"The film's verdict is that Polanski is far too distinguished to persecute by placing him in a prison among, well, criminals. Wanted And Desired: A premeditated act of propaganda in the service of exoneration rather than remorse." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jun 19, 2008
 
Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired (2008)85%
/
 
"Whether talking about being hooked on pot or just plain hooking, the movie despite, well, its potpourri of addictions, sticks to surfaces. Not to mention that a darker tone for this rehab redemption fare, might have been just the cure." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jun 17, 2008
 
Finding Amanda (2008)38%
/
 
"A numbing polemical morality tale in dreary doomsday thriller clothing, this dull downer for all its mass panic attack high alert mode, may be more effective in unintentionally boring people to death." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jun 16, 2008
 
The Happening (2008)19%
/
 
"With small talk fueling this French Provincial porn more than the dull sex, you may be reading this movie and its subtitles, more than watching it. And while it's not clear why she's The Last Mistress, this babe could be The First Stalker." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jun 15, 2008
 
The Last Mistress (2008)76%
/
 
"Ready to rumble, scantily clad Neanderthals gone wild, gliding around the globe faster than high speed Internet. And while dodging seemingly nearsighted menacing reptiles with bad manners, whose oversized choppers repeatedly miss their mark." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
10,000 B.C. (2008)9%
/
 
"A bloody banquet of excessive, tasteless gore, but with an odd infusion of unsavory humor that never meshes with the horror. Think fatal car crash with a laugh track." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jun 13, 2008
 
The Signal (2007)55%
/
 
"This counter-terrorism satire is its own worst enemy. Especially whenever Sandler's whining geek turned combo swaggering assassin hair stylist's too-much-information bulging prosthetic crotch pops up." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jun 9, 2008
 
You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)34%
/
 
"More in the nature of audience eavesdropping on some scandalous neighbors than gripping or meaningful storytelling, the film is wracked with superficial, amoral characters and petty, hand wringing sordid emotional preoccupations and obsessions." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jun 5, 2008
 
Summer '04 (2006)79%
/
 
"A movie whose visuals are lovely to behold and lyrically awash in sensuality and desire, but sets the lives of women back at least a few centuries." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jun 4, 2008
 
Brick Lane (2008)62%
/
 
"Toujours suggests either creative immortality of a work of cinema as it flows through the imaginative process from one director to another, or simply sexual obsession perpetually unresolved. Or perhaps even a little of both." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jun 2, 2008
 
Belle Toujours (2006)67%
/
 
"There's less suspense around what these lunatics with sharp implements are doing in this home, than what Tyler and Speedman are doing in this movie. As for whoever is left standing at the end, they may have taken the final pages of the script with them." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Jun 1, 2008
 
The Strangers (2008)41%
/
 
"There's loads of atmosphere and charm to this tale, but little that seems compelling or heartfelt to the drama, which in contrast feels sketchy and contrived, without a clear sense of character beyond conceptualized stick figures." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 31, 2008
 
Vanaja (2007)78%
/
 
"A bizarre, leering orgy of celebrity crotches, lowbrow horny gay buffoons in leather, moronic gladiator mayhem, and too-much-information cascading bodily fluids galore." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 29, 2008
 
Meet the Spartans (2008)2%
/
 
"More impressed with its own olden days ready-to-rumble, flesh-ripping Far Eastern beatdowns, than fleshing out with any depth just who these characters were and how they struggled to exist back then. History as a scenic but dramatically sparse travelogue." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 26, 2008
 
Mongol (2008)88%
/
 
"Breathtaking photography, but Hollywood's view of history as usual, no matter where on the planet, as mere backdrop for the personal lives of glamorous white people. Casablanca meets the white man's burden, and doesn't amount to a hill of beans." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 24, 2008
 
The Children of Huang Shi (2008)26%
/
 
"Borderline kiddie porn featuring sexual girl-on-girl garbage sniffing of one's favorite female object of desire, post-feminist burying instead of burning bras as female self-hatred, and gal pal how-to tips on deflowering your best friend." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 24, 2008
 
Water Lilies (2007)79%
/
 
"Borderline kiddie porn featuring sexual girl-on-girl garbage sniffing of one's favorite female object of desire, post-feminist burying instead of burning bras as female self-hatred, and gal pal how-to tips on deflowering your best friend." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 24, 2008
 
Water Lilies (2007)79%
/
 
"Be forewarned, watching this movie about the frustrated, bored to tears existence of the elite, can be contagious. A depressing and meaningless, smutty glimpse into the depraved family lives of stuffy designer couch potatoes." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 21, 2008
 
Savage Grace (2008)42%
/
 
"Wanting it both ways, Tornatore presents the tragedy of sex slavery, while lavishly eroticizing it. And without a clue about female desires or dreams, whether sex slaves, servants or hysterical psychos, beyond their sexual apparatus. Unknown Woman, indeed" -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 20, 2008
 
The Unknown Woman (2008)59%
/
 
"Argento's gothic hokey horror homage to sleazy sorceress boobs, demon damsels with too much makeup, and assorted cannibalistic weirdos run amok. Girl witches gone wild, Italian style. " -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 20, 2008
 
Mother of Tears (2008)50%
/
 
"Can we knock it off already with the mandatory mommy movies? Plus, you know a film's in trouble when there's a whole lot more chemistry and emotional depth between the girlfriends, than with Graham and any or all of those potential male suitor studs." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 17, 2008
 
Miss Conception (2008)0%
/
 
"A pathetic excuse to trot out a procession of teenage girls in the raw, performing graphic simulated sex acts with your basic suburban family man drooling all over himself." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 17, 2008
 
The Babysitters (2008)28%
/
 
"Goodby rebel lifestyle, free love and recreational hot sex, hello conventional midlife crisis." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 15, 2008
 
Flying: Confessions of a Free Woman (2007)74%
/
 
"Too bad such a stellar combo cast had to get dumbed down for such inconsequential pandemonium." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 15, 2008
 
National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007)31%
/
 
"Suspiciously wrinkle-resistant Stallone in comeback, a Rambo in serious need of anger management and not too shy to get into a little ripping out of throats with bare hands and selective disemboweling too." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 13, 2008
 
Rambo (2008)35%
/
 
"While life just got a little more complicated with the introduction of the market economy into formerly socialist Eastern Europe and China too, so did their movies. A surface meditation on materialism and its impact on human emotions. Do the math." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 13, 2008
 
Beauty in Trouble (2008)69%
/
 
"With all the nurses making moves on the suicidal old codger's renovated physique, Coppola's Youth Without Youth comes across as somewhere between The Godfather On Viagra and Apocalypse Then, Redux." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 9, 2008
 
Youth Without Youth (2007)29%
/
 
"Lost In Beijing is most noted for several thumb-nosing gratuitous sex scenes that got the movie reprimanded by the censors back home." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 7, 2008
 
Lost in Beijing (2008)47%
/
 
"Sporting a novel brand of swinger superhero, Iron Man's got goofy Robert Downey Jr. wisecracking his way through unlikely feats and fantasy politics, with all the determination of someone who just wandered in from the corner bar." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 7, 2008
 
Iron Man (2008)93%
/
 
"Paris definitely wear the pants in this ho hum extra-lite romantic comedy, and I think I can pretty accurately report that she keeps them on down under, from beginning to end." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 4, 2008
 
The Hottie & the Nottie (2008)5%
/
 
"That we're now in such a safe sex cautionary era aside, turning a horny lecherous guy into Prince Charming is a tad more problematic than, say, transforming that mythic frog. A womanizer's guide to marital bliss." -- NewsBlaze
Posted May 3, 2008
 
Made of Honor (2008)12%
/
 
"The most intriguing mystery may be the poor performance lately of Wall Street, as Deception suggests a yen for hard core kinky private sex clubs among the financial swells, that could be distracting them from proper concentration on money management." -- NewsBlaze
Posted Apr 25, 2008
 
Deception (2008)11%
/
 
"For those not willing to buy into mandatory motherhood, there are still a few roles left for women here and there, as dragons ladies, sluts and psychos." -- Critical Women
Posted Apr 19, 2008
 
And Then Came Love (2007)9%
/
 
"An anti-abortion movement propaganda screed masquerading as a teen angst drama. All that's missing are the religious right pamphlet tables in the theater lobbies. There's apparently a new kind of female road movie out there, called the guilt trip." -- NewsBlaze
