Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
1/5	4%	A Little Bit Of Heaven (2012)	" Gren Wells' screenplay throws around a few ideas about female independence and sexuality, but finally it's as shallow as it is mawkish." — Los Angeles Times Posted May 3, 2012
1/5	0%	The Abduction Of Zack Butterfield (2011)	" Subscribing to the philosophy that creepy equals interesting, the film contains barely a moment that isn't flat-footed, ludicrous or both." — Los Angeles Times Posted May 27, 2011
1/5	20%	Peep World (2011)	" By turns flat and strained, "Peep World" is a collection of personality disorders in search of a story." — Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 24, 2011
	26%	Finding Bliss (2009)	" Posing big questions about love and sex and work, this cartoonish rom-com is far more conventional than it wants to be." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 3, 2010
	8%	Furry Vengeance (2010)	" Furry Vengeance is a collection of feeble jokes in the service of green themes. Sustainability never looked so stupid." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Apr 30, 2010
	14%	Our Family Wedding (2010)	" The culture clash is muy muted in this alternately sweet and dumb comedy." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Mar 4, 2010
	18%	Valentine's Day (2010)	" Like a lot of Valentine's Day gifts, showy and easily forgotten." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 8, 2010
	28%	Adventures of Power (2009)	" The rhythm's off in this goofy tale of an air-drumming underdog." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 9, 2009
	37%	How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)	" Simon Pegg is likably smart and obnoxious as the fish-out-of-water Brit in high-gloss Manhattan, but he's swimming upstream in a feature that substitutes slapstick for scathing wit." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 1, 2008
	40%	The Longshots (2008)	" Every triumph registers low on the emotion meter, and most of the supporting characters are two-dimensional at best." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Aug 20, 2008
	8%	Miss Conception (2008)	" It feels more like a small-screen distraction." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 6, 2008
	30%	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	" Period tale of real-life heroism doesn't fully come to life." — Hollywood Reporter Posted May 26, 2008
	35%	Vantage Point (2008)	" Straight out of the slice-and-dice school of filmmaking, Vantage Point fractures chronology and perspective in a vain attempt to disguise its flimsiness." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 21, 2008
	22%	Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008)	" A frenzied comedy promoting the family values of loud, obnoxious and mean." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 7, 2008
	15%	Over Her Dead Body (2008)	" A harebrained rom-com diversion offering few laughs and little romance." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 31, 2008
	37%	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	" For all its playful touches and neat-o nostalgia for nondigital entertainment, the whimsy feels forced." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Nov 16, 2007
	56%	What Would Jesus Buy? (2007)	" Most viewers will be left to wonder whether the message is connecting." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Nov 16, 2007
	36%	Sydney White (2007)	" A mildly fractured fairy tale that's often too dopey for its own good." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 20, 2007
	7%	Bratz: The Movie (2007)	" You go, girlz. Mom and Dad will wait in the car." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jul 30, 2007
	50%	Nancy Drew (2007)	" It's hardly sacred literature that shouldn't be messed with, yet the source material's particular resonance remains elusive in this 21st century update." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 9, 2007
	5%	Because I Said So (2007)	" A shallow rom-com that's not just eager but frantic to please." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 1, 2007
	0%	Constellation (2005)	" An accomplished cast that includes Billy Dee Williams, Lesley Ann Warren and Rae Dawn Chong struggles to elevate material that rarely gets deeper than a daytime soap, though it tries mightily." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 1, 2007
	62%	Blood Diamond (2006)	" Despite shining contributions, this composite of action-adventure and social message doesn't quite crystallize." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Dec 1, 2006
	13%	Shottas (2006)	" Writer-director Cess Silvera delivers an empty, bullet-riddled exploitation combo of attitude and poses." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Nov 8, 2006
	48%	Driving Lessons (2006)	" Aiming for wacky and heartwarming, the film is, at its sporadic best, a mildly diverting coming-of-age story. At its worst, it feels forced." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 12, 2006
	25%	School for Scoundrels (2006)	" A mean-spirited yet mushy comedy that deserves to be left back." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 25, 2006
	13%	Haven (2006)	" The presence in the ensemble of Orlando Bloom, who also serves as a producer, could be an initial enticement, but his performance is one of the weakest in a mixed bag." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 23, 2006
	33%	Flyboys (2006)	" A valentine to WWI's first American fighter pilots that doesn't quite reach its aimed-for heights." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 22, 2006
	40%	My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006)	" The Ivan Reitman-directed comedy manages to sap the charm from everyone in its cast, all of whom have shone quite brightly in other settings." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jul 22, 2006
	52%	Strangers with Candy (2005)	" What was subversive on the tube feels muted at feature length." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 27, 2006
	36%	The Lake House (2006)	" More a valentine to Chicago's architecture than the aching love story it purports to be, The Lake House is a slow-moving, never-igniting tale of calendar-crossed lovers that grows less convincing as it proceeds." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 12, 2006
	——	The Long Weekend (2006)	" If you're not a male between 17 and 23 and don't find the chance to see R-rated rejects from America's Funniest Home Videos a good thing, The Long Weekend will be a long and pointless haul." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 8, 2006
	33%	Poseidon (2006)	" Its intensity is strictly physical, the intended emotional impact submerged in a numbing onslaught of death, danger and derring-do as a bunch of mostly annoying, self-centered passengers fight their way to the surface." — Hollywood Reporter Posted May 8, 2006
	33%	Trudell (2006)	" Rae's reluctance to delve into more complex, personal or specific territory -- with anecdotes, for example -- limits viewer involvement." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Mar 30, 2006
	55%	16 Blocks (2006)	" This tale of a cop and a baker running for their lives wants to have its cake and eat it too." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 24, 2006
	40%	Winter Passing (2006)	" The writer-director's affection for those characters is apparent, but with the exception of a few unpredictable moments from Zooey Deschanel and Will Ferrell, Winter Passing finds only cliche as it reaches for profundity." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 16, 2006
	——	The Legend of Lucy Keyes (2006)	" A standard setup that unfolds with lukewarm results." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 14, 2006
	35%	Ask the Dust (2006)	" Towne ... inexplicably softens the story's noir edge, lapsing into melodrama and hammering at his themes instead of delving deeper into his characters." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 3, 2006
	6%	Big Momma's House 2 (2006)	" Painfully unfunny slapstick takes precedence over would-be satire." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 26, 2006
	0%	Angels with Angles (2005)	" An oddity as awkward as its title." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Dec 21, 2005
	29%	Fun With Dick and Jane (2005)	" A shrill remake that opts for shtick over satire." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Dec 20, 2005
	52%	The Family Stone (2005)	" The Family Stone spends too much time on unconvincing romantic-comedy contrivances to be consistently engaging." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Dec 15, 2005
	17%	Kids in America (2005)	" Well-meaning but woefully unconvincing." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 21, 2005
	30%	Waiting (2005)	" Between a couple of funny scenes and a bunch of unfunny gags, there's not much going on in Waiting ...." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 7, 2005
	41%	Going Shopping (2005)	" Zeroes in on retail mania with a flimsy wire hanger of a premise." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 30, 2005
	82%	Serenity (2005)	" The Serenity crew's chemistry isn't enough to take this spaceship into the stratosphere, and Whedon unleashes his most provocative ideas too late in the proceedings." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 30, 2005
	7%	Daltry Calhoun (2005)	" Aims for whimsy and poignancy and mostly comes up empty." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 23, 2005
	6%	Underclassman (2005)	" A goofy puppy that just wants to be loved -- and knows only how to make an unimaginative mess." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 1, 2005
	36%	The Great Raid (2005)	" Even audiences predisposed to sagas of American valor or nostalgic for the good old days of unswerving wartime coalitions will find little here beyond the retro patina to grab their attention." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Aug 4, 2005
	15%	Smile (2005)	" There's little doubt that a nonfiction film would have been more powerful than this strained drama, which offers a Malibu brat as the audience's point of identification." — Hollywood Reporter Posted Apr 8, 2005
