Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
1/4	31%	The Hunted (2003)	" No movie in recent memory made me laugh harder or longer than the numbingly incompetent First Blood rip-off The Hunted. Trouble is, I'm pretty sure it wasn't intended as a comedy." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Mar 14, 2003
1/4	19%	The Life of David Gale (2003)	" A manipulative melodrama so intent on ramming home its political message that it runs roughshod over logic, telegraphs its plot developments and browbeats its audience." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Feb 21, 2003
1/4	42%	How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)	" Having nearly suffocated amid the swirling mist of estrogen fumes that enveloped a recent screening of the insipid chick flick How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, I need an immediate infusion of guy stuff to detox." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Feb 7, 2003
1/4	18%	Love in the Time of Money (2002)	" The latest vapid actor's exercise to appropriate the structure of Arthur Schnitzler's Reigen." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Dec 6, 2002
1/4	15%	I Spy (2002)	" No aspirations to social import inform the movie version. This is a shameless sham, calculated to cash in on the popularity of its stars." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Nov 1, 2002
1/4	18%	National Lampoon's Van Wilder (Party Liaison) (2002)	" Every gag feels forced and uninspired, every plot turn formulaic." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Apr 5, 2002
	18%	Collateral Damage (2002)	" It follows the basic plot trajectory of nearly every Schwarzenegger film: Someone crosses Arnie. Arnie blows things up." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Feb 7, 2002
1/4	3%	Rollerball (2002)	" The action makes no sense, the death-metal soundtrack drowns out most of the dialogue and the acting feels half-hearted." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Feb 7, 2002
	10%	Slackers (2002)	" The filmmakers lack the nerve ... to fully exploit the script's potential for sick humor." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Jan 31, 2002
	53%	The Mothman Prophecies (2002)	" Feels more like a rejected X-Files episode than a credible account of a puzzling real-life happening." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Jan 24, 2002
	34%	I Am Sam (2001)	" I didn't see any green eggs, but there's ham aplenty in Penn's portrayal of Sam." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Jan 24, 2002
	80%	The Royal Tenenbaums (2002)	" Too much of The Royal Tenenbaums feels calculated." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Dec 28, 2001
	50%	Kate & Leopold (2001)	" Three tired genres (Manhattan-based romantic comedies, time-travel movies and Meg Ryan) collide in Kate & Leopold, as vapid a film as you'll see all year." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Dec 25, 2001
	67%	Ali (2001)	" With all due respect to Will Smith, you don't send a Fresh Prince to play a king." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Dec 25, 2001
	42%	The Majestic (2001)	" Drowns Carrey's understated performance in cheap sentiment and sticky self-importance." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Dec 20, 2001
	28%	Not Another Teen Movie (2001)	" Forget the teen movies; what this one has to worry about is audience members thinking 'Not Another Parody.'" — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Dec 13, 2001
	82%	Ocean's Eleven (2001)	" For all its gloss and marquee power, the new flick feels calculated. The original Ocean's Eleven was cool. The new one is cold." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Dec 7, 2001
	80%	Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)	" As George Lucas did with The Phantom Menace, Columbus understood that he didn't have to make a particularly good movie. He just had to avoid making a really lousy one. And that's exactly what he's done." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Nov 15, 2001
	65%	Heist (2001)	" The Score got away clean, without resorting to violence. Heist isn't so lucky. This house of cards goes down in a hail of bullets." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Nov 8, 2001
	23%	Domestic Disturbance (2001)	" One's ability to enjoy this film turns on one's capacity to blindly accept implausibilities, coincidences and unlikelihoods that mount as the story presses forward." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Nov 1, 2001
	12%	Thirteen Ghosts (13 Ghosts) (2001)	" Despite some cool visuals, 13 Ghosts ranks as one of the dumbest scare flicks ever made." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Oct 25, 2001
	41%	K-PAX (2001)	" The premise suspiciously parallels that of 1986's critically praised Argentinian film Man Facing Southeast." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Oct 25, 2001
	47%	Life as a House (2001)	" It's the stuff of shameless tear-jerkers." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Oct 25, 2001
	57%	From Hell (2001)	" The filmmakers undermine their own quest for authenticity by allowing Depp and Graham to wade through the proceedings unblemished while all the other Whitechapel denizens wallow in funk." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Oct 18, 2001
	49%	Riding in Cars with Boys (2001)	" Once the novelty wears off, you feel like you've been tricked into watching someone else's home movies for two-plus hours." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Oct 18, 2001
	6%	Corky Romano (2001)	" It just isn't funny enough, often enough." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Oct 11, 2001
	72%	Training Day (2001)	" There comes a point in every movie when it has to quit playing coy and let the audience know where it stands. Once Training Day takes that step, it begins to disintegrate before our eyes." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Oct 4, 2001
	74%	Joy Ride (2001)	" Squishes credibility like road kill and careens into an abyss of escalating absurdity." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Oct 4, 2001
	45%	Jeepers Creepers (2001)	" Its missing parts include intelligence, originality, wit and a single reason to watch." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Aug 30, 2001
	29%	Bubble Boy (2001)	" It offends so many people on so many levels that Disney executives may soon wish they could take refuge in a plastic bubble of their own." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Aug 24, 2001
	45%	The Curse of the Jade Scorpion (2001)	" Suffers from bouts of listlessness and lackluster writing." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Aug 23, 2001
	14%	American Outlaws (2001)	" Guns down credible acting, believable dialogue and historical accuracy." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Aug 16, 2001
	52%	American Pie 2 (2001)	" Exactly what you'd expect -- an uninspired retread with a negligible plot." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Aug 9, 2001
	71%	Made (2001)	" This is [Favreau's] first stab at directing a feature film, and the inexperience shows." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Jul 27, 2001
	63%	Crazy/ Beautiful (2001)	" Jay Hernandez and Kirsten Dunst lend the project more charisma than it deserves." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Jun 28, 2001
	52%	The Fast and the Furious (2001)	" The film is dumb as a quart of 10W40." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Jun 21, 2001
	19%	Lara Croft - Tomb Raider (2001)	" Rarely rises above the level of a poor man's Raiders of the Lost Ark." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Jun 14, 2001
	43%	Evolution (2001)	" Apparently Darwin was wrong. If natural selection truly existed, Evolution never would have gone into production." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Jun 7, 2001
	25%	Pearl Harbor (2001)	" There's something terribly wrong with a movie that takes nearly five times as long to resolve a generic love story as it does to re-create the infamous battle from which it gets its title." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted May 24, 2001
	33%	Angel Eyes (2001)	" Di Pego's script either bores us with long stretches where nothing happens or leaves us shaking our heads in disbelief at its rank inanity." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted May 17, 2001
	34%	The Center of the World (2001)	" Wang commits the cardinal sin of filmmaking -- he fails to give us any reason to care about his leads." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted May 4, 2001
	47%	The Mummy Returns (2001)	" The special effects so overpower the actors in this sequel-on-steroids that it desensitizes you." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted May 3, 2001
	14%	Driven (2001)	" His Slyness apparently found his characters (especially female) in the deep discount bin at Cliches R Us." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Apr 27, 2001
	11%	Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (2001)	" The prospect of sitting through a new Crocodile Dundee movie excited me about as much as a new Men at Work CD." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Apr 20, 2001
	11%	Freddy Got Fingered (2001)	" [Green is] like that irritating kid in every junior high school who wants desperately to be the class clown." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Apr 20, 2001
	80%	Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)	" The movie isn't a travesty. It's just kind of slight. Conventional. Pat." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Apr 12, 2001
	28%	Kingdom Come (2001)	" You get the sense that many of the characters and much of the raucous familial wrangling would have worked better in a theatrical setting." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Apr 11, 2001
	53%	Josie and the Pussycats (2001)	" Assaults us with an unprecedented barrage of product placement and embeds the blatant shilling in the subliminal-brainwashing subplot." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Apr 11, 2001
	55%	Blow (2001)	" The movie never delivers the highs promised by its ad campaign." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Apr 6, 2001
	43%	Someone Like You (2001)	" It's hard to decide which is less credible, Ashley Judd as inconsolable dumpee or Jane Goodale as cult phenomenon." — South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Mar 30, 2001
