Black Knight (2001)

" If the powers-that-be had spent as much time on the script as they did on crafting the fake dung … oops, sorry, messing with a Hollywood formula."

Bubble Boy (2001)

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)

" Smith more often than he should takes the easy way out: Why bother with a punch line when you can plug in a fistful of four-letter words?"

John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars (2001)

" I cannot fathom why Carpenter would want to brand his name to this movie, akin to leaving fingerprints at the scene of a crime."

John Q (2002)

" So earnest and well-meaning, and so stocked with talent, that you almost forget the sheer, ponderous awfulness of its script."

Kate and Leopold (2001)

Lost Souls (2000)

Its examination of our current cynical age of faithlessness is betrayed by largely rote directorship and its own occasional knee-jerk reflexes of horror cinema.

Miss Congeniality (2000)

Bullock knows how to showcase her vulnerability, but unfortunately she can't compensate for plot implausibilities that don't have to be implausible, or clichés that don't have to be clichéd.

The Queen of the Damned (2002)

" Despite blood-slurping, a Goth rock score and even the chilling resurrection of Aaliyah as the title character, this third installment of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles seems curiously torpid."

The Watcher (2000)

The sledgehammer soundtrack editing is also baffling, considering that Charbanic's background is in music videos.
