F	"*I flat-out defy* the filmmakers... to logically explain the course of action in the movie.*" -- Now Playing Magazine* Posted Apr 29, 2005	XXX: State of the Union (2005)	16%
F	"Cursed deserves its ignominy. And not your money." -- Now Playing Magazine Posted Feb 27, 2005	Cursed (2005)	17%
F	"They say that even ugly babies have faces their mothers love, but this is truly a film that not even hardcore genre fans could appreciate." -- Now Playing Magazine Posted Jan 27, 2005	Alone in the Dark (2005)	1%
F	"Shrill and clamorous claptrap, a movie whose harried declamations and colorful, frenetic staging give the impression of plot in the absence of any real narrative conviction." -- Entertainment Today Posted Oct 5, 2004	A Dirty Shame (2004)	52%
F	"Issues of sexual commitment, fidelity and self-worth are graphically explored with the torpid detachment of a psych major�s filmic send-up of a Calvin Klein commercial..." -- Entertainment Today Posted Oct 5, 2004	Anatomy of Hell (2004)	26%
F	"Blackwoods is all affected 'style,' not intelligent or clear enough to pull off its grand vision. When the final act twists come they don�t feel so much shocking or intelligent as just ridiculous." -- Entertainment Today Posted Jul 18, 2003	Blackwoods (2002)	11%
F	"*A muddy psychological thriller rife with miscalculations. It makes me say the obvious: Abandon* all hope of a good movie ye who enter here.*" -- Entertainment Today* Posted Oct 21, 2002	Abandon (2002)	17%
F	"Completely creatively stillborn and executed in a manner that I�m not sure could be a single iota worse... a soulless hunk of exploitative garbage." -- Entertainment Today Posted Sep 6, 2002	Fear Dot Com (2002)	4%
F	"*[Less a movie than] an appalling, odoriferous thing... so rotten in almost every single facet of production that you'll want to crawl up your own in embarrassment." -- Entertainment Today Posted Aug 27, 2002	New Best Friend (2002)	6%
F+	"*Soulless and -- even more damning -- virtually joyless, XXX* achieves near virtuosity in its crapulence.*" -- Entertainment Today* Posted Aug 21, 2002	XXX (2002)	47%
F	"A crime against humanity." -- Entertainment Today Posted Aug 30, 2002	Freddy Got Fingered (2001)	10%
F	"*A mindless Taco Bell commercial � errrrr...* summer effects vehicle that is utterly and depressingly devoid of any and all human drama... Grade-A feces.*" -- Entertainment Today* Posted Aug 26, 2002	Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)	19%
F	"If this wearying exercise in camp, rib-nudging double entendres, rhyming gollyspeak and groovy-daddio! set design wrapped around a wan murder mystery sounds like an Annette Funicello movie gone to hell, it at least succeeds on one level." -- Entertainment Today Posted Nov 18, 2002	Psycho Beach Party (2000)	55%
F	"Empty-headed and unspeakably undisciplined� [the] question bears asking: Has Spike Lee -- the living, breathing antithesis of subtlety -- gone completely insane?" -- Entertainment Today Posted Aug 30, 2002	Bamboozled (2000)	50%
F	"*With large amounts of alcohol and the right friends, it might be a Mystery Science Theater 3000-level hoot. Otherwise, The Skulls* is a crime against humanity.*" -- Entertainment Today* Posted Aug 26, 2002	The Skulls (2000)	8%
F+	"*A naked attempt at Jerry Maguire-style profundity that elicited 47 temple rubs and 13 audible Jesuses between my companion and I� the comedic equivalent of flat soda." -- Entertainment Today* Posted Aug 27, 2002	Wirey Spindell (1999)	25%
F	"*A ridiculous, self-important amalgamation of rehashed macho posturing and slow-motion bloodletting. Do yourself a favor: do not attend a convocation with these Saints." -- Entertainment Today* Posted Aug 26, 2002	The Boondock Saints (1999)	18%
D-	"Arbitrarily arranged and awfully acted... proof positive that well-meaning creative wishes and savvy, low-fi merging of production means and narrative concept doesn't automatically produce heady results." -- Now Playing Magazine Posted Sep 17, 2006	Cavite (2006)	73%
D-	"Piles one gloriously misbegotten clich� and set piece on top of another." -- Now Playing Magazine Posted Jul 1, 2005	Rebound (2005)	14%
D-	"Lurid, lazy and altogether awful..." -- Now Playing Magazine Posted Jan 27, 2005	Fascination (2005)	4%
D-	"An embarrassment for all involved." -- Now Playing Magazine Posted Jan 19, 2005	Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)	61%
D-	"*It�s hard to imagine a more jointly artful and mind-numbingly off-putting cinematic experience... Father and Son* is the virtual definition of tedium.*" -- Entertainment Today* Posted Jul 13, 2004	Father and Son (2004)	70%
D-	"A grade-A misfire, fantastically uninvolving, a cinematic train wreck of slacked-jawed, distinguished proportions. Read on for more fun..." -- Entertainment Today Posted Aug 5, 2003	Gigli (2003)	6%
D-	"*Management of tone is everything in tales this sentimental, and Swimming Upstream* is ploddingly obvious and mawkish -- all desultory domestic scenes and bad monologues.*" -- Entertainment Today* Posted Oct 5, 2004	Swimming Upstream (2002)	n/a
D-	"Hurrah! Gabby, obvious, adult angst-driven, sex-saturated American television has finally crossed the Atlantic and returned in irritating film form!" -- Entertainment Today Posted Aug 30, 2002	Crush (2002)	34%
D-	"A long-on-style-short-on-insight mish-mash... the filmmakers trade on credit they haven�t earned, hoping you�ll fill in the narrative gaps." -- Entertainment Today Posted Aug 27, 2002	Kill Me Later (2001)	25%
D-	"A clutchy, indulgent and pretentious travelogue and diatribe against... well, just stuff. Watching Scarlet Diva, one is poised for titillation, raw insight or both. Instead, we just get messy anger, a movie as personal therapy." -- Entertainment Today Posted Sep 23, 2002	Scarlet Diva (2000)	50%
D-	"A terrible film that witlessly unfurls its limp narrative. If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the film." -- Entertainment Today Posted Jan 16, 2003	The Bachelor (1999)	10%
D-	"This bayou-set, thinly imagined Psycho knock-off is little more than a derisible piece of slasher mayhem, notable for Tobe Hooper's association and costar Roberta Collins' assertion that star Neville Brand later tried to sexually assault her." -- Now Playing Magazine Posted Sep 23, 2006	Eaten Alive (1976)	11%
D-	"A poorly executed DIY production replete with all the un-tethered irresponsibility and overly demonstrative signifiers one would expect." -- Entertainment Today Posted Apr 26, 2004	Close Call ()	0%
D	"It wants to be outwardly bawdy, but is the furthest thing from it." -- Now Playing Magazine Posted Dec 23, 2005	The Ringer (2005)	39%
D	"A precocious, smarmy film that tries to spin spurious coincidence into high art." -- Now Playing Magazine Posted Nov 11, 2005	The Chumscrubber (2005)	34%
D	"The Man will be coming soon to a cable channel near you� frequently." -- Now Playing Magazine Posted Sep 9, 2005	The Man (2005)	11%
D	"Caught awkwardly ... between massive scope and something more honed and finite..." -- Now Playing Magazine Posted Sep 2, 2005	A Sound of Thunder (2005)	8%
D	"*In the mind-numbing final hour... you stop being flabbergasted and just start praying for the end of the movie, this horrible Island* vacation.*" -- Now Playing Magazine* Posted Jul 22, 2005	The Island (2005)	40%
D	"You want... a misunderstood masterpiece, but it�s really just a mess, albeit one whose unique place in film history virtually assures it its own... Trivial Pursuit question." -- Now Playing Magazine Posted May 20, 2005	Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist (2005)	29%
D	"*Maybe Paul Schrader can... re-shoot director Renny Harlin�s Mindhunters* - an atrocious mess that could hardly stand to be dis-improved upon.*" -- Now Playing Magazine* Posted May 13, 2005	Mindhunters (2005)	26%
D	"It brings little new to the table, even by generic 'reluctant warrior' thriller standards." -- Now Playing Magazine Posted Mar 11, 2005	Hostage (2005)	34%
D	"*All in all, Man of the House* lives up (or is that down?) to the blandness of its title.*" -- Now Playing Magazine* Posted Feb 27, 2005	Man of the House (2005)	8%
D	"Can�t even give in to the spooky delight of its rich clich�s like hundreds of other trashy-derivative horror thrill rides..." -- Now Playing Magazine Posted Feb 7, 2005	Boogeyman (2005)	14%
D	"A European-flavored thriller of manufactured morbidity that starts strong but becomes just another ridiculous potboiler mystery wrapped in the guise of the occult and arcane." -- Entertainment Today Posted May 31, 2004	Close Your Eyes (2004)	47%
D	"Prima facie evidence of Hollywood�s virtual January-February non-compete clause... and proof that sustained effort does not a desirable final product make." -- Entertainment Today Posted Mar 1, 2004	Welcome to Mooseport (2004)	13%
D	"A weird, unsuccessful and by all accounts unreasoned blend of styles [that] seems shot and edited together by two entirely different people." -- Entertainment Today Posted Aug 18, 2003	Uptown Girls (2003)	13%
D	"Teen movies don�t have to be pandering and idiotic, but you wouldn�t know that by watching this Girl, an aimless piece of fluff that trades in clich�s and stock jokes that have for a long time now been signifiers of humor rather than the real thing" -- Entertainment Today Posted Apr 7, 2003	What a Girl Wants (2003)	34%
D	"Whereas Memento also actually delved into the human brain�s relationship to humanity and whether 'reality' as we know it lies in something as simple as cognitive imprinting and recollection, Irreversible peddles only the deeply exterior prec" -- Entertainment Today Posted Mar 10, 2003	Irreversible (2003)	56%
D	"Stolid, unexcitable and dreary -- were movies to sport vanity license plates, this film�s would almost certainly be UN-XCPNL." -- Entertainment Today Posted Feb 24, 2003	Till Human Voices Wake Us (2003)	24%
D	"*A bold but barren and unrewarding art house stunt, Gerry's aggressively minimalist marriage of form and content comes off as bizarrely angry and deeply unfulfilling." -- Entertainment Today* Posted Feb 17, 2003	Gerry (2003)	61%
D	"*Lacking gravitas, MacDowell is a placeholder for grief, and ergo this sloppy drama is an empty vessel. Leave these Flowers* unpicked -- they�re dead on the vine.*" -- Entertainment Today* Posted May 27, 2003	Harrison's Flowers (2002)	49%
D	"An overstylized, pur�ed m�lange of sex, psychology, drugs and philosophy. Sometimes entertaining, sometimes indulgent -- but never less than pure wankery." -- Entertainment Today Posted May 27, 2003	Harvard Man (2002)	33%
D	"*There�s no emotional pulse to Solaris. With an emotional sterility to match its outer space setting, Soderbergh's spectacular swing for the fence yields only a spectacular whiff." -- Entertainment Today* Posted Dec 2, 2002	Solaris (2002)	64%
