    88 Minutes (2008)

    " Now that this stupendously inept serial-killer flick has slithered into theaters, the diminutive legend had better clear room in his closet for another cinematic skeleton." — Time Out

    The Skeptic (2009)

    " Tennyson Bardwell’s pretentious psycho-supernatural flick doesn’t even qualify as guilty-pleasure camp. It’s the sort of bad movie that will make you lose faith in the genre altogether." — Time Out New York

    Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009)

    " There’s precious little to laugh at – not the lead’s one-dimensional swagger, Michael Douglas’s Rat Pack-meets-Robert Evans jive talk or an anti-misogyny parable with the gall to make every female a neurotic shrew or a sex-starved harpy." — Time Out

    " McConaughey’s character is finally forced to face up to past transgressions; one day, the filmmakers behind this rancid, hypocritical farce will have to deal with theirs." — Time Out New York

    Lake City (2008)

    " The real shame is the waste of Spacek. She's an American treasure who doesn't work nearly enough; to see this star make a rare appearance, only to wither among such emotional cheap shots, is the one thing in Lake City that will genuinely make you weep." — Time Out New York

    Fly Me To The Moon (2008)

    " It'd be nice to imagine, however, that after enduring this attempt at selling fourth-rate 3-D animation as entertainment, ripped-off toddlers would react properly and take to the streets en masse." — Time Out New York

    Backseat (2008)

    " The list of transgressions in Bruce Van Dusen’s stalled road-trip flick is miles long: dialogue chocked with bumper-sticker platitudes, self-consciously quirky characters, gratuitous gunplay and a soundtrack top-heavy with achingly bad dorm-rock." — Time Out New York

    How to Rob a Bank (2008)

    " Bereft of anything resembling subtlety or common sense, this cretinous caper flick does offer a lesson on how to rob folks of $10.50. The bank aspect is merely incidental." — Time Out New York
