Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
F 15% Shark Night 3D (2011) " a full-fledged, bottom-of-the-ninth strikeout, a trashy, stupid, joyless, and overlong thriller" — The Playlist
Posted Sep 2, 2011
0/5 2% Disaster Movie (2008) " It's quite frankly stultifying that Friedberg are Seltzer are ever let anywhere near a studio boardroom after having defecated out their previous movies, much less this one." — IGN Movies
Posted Aug 29, 2008
0/5 23% Mad Money (2008) " Save your money so you don't get mad that you spent it on this." — IGN Movies
Posted Jan 22, 2008
0/5 24% Halloween (2007) " Halloween is about graphic brutality and absolutely nothing more." — IGN Movies
Posted Aug 31, 2007
0/5 16% Cursed (2005) " As a critic, I've often been bored and offended by the movies I've watched, but Cursed may be the first time I can remember being outright insulted by one." — IGN Movies
Posted Feb 25, 2005
.5/ 5 30% The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) (2011) " if you willfully choose to patronize this sort of movie, much less this one in particular, you deserve what you get. At least, that's what Tom Six seems to think." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Sep 26, 2011
.5/ 5 4% Abduction (2011) " Abduction has a lot of problems, but the biggest is the fact that no one gets abducted. Ever." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Sep 23, 2011
0.5/5 13% The Women (2008) " This remake feels more like a Sex and the City knockoff than a reinvention of Cukor's classic." — IGN Movies
Posted Sep 12, 2008
0.5/5 16% Superhero Movie (2008) " This parody film plagiarizes Spider-Man to virtually laughless effect." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 12, 2008
0.5/5 10% Moving McAllister (2007) " Bad really is too delicate a word to describe the film." — IGN Movies
Posted Sep 14, 2007
0.5/5 12% Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) " There is truly nothing to enjoy about Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, from its disappointingly unoriginal opening to the absurdly violent, equally disappointing cop-out ending." — IGN Movies
Posted Oct 6, 2006
0.5/5 4% The Whole Ten Yards (2003) " One of the most laughless experiences I've had at a theatre so far this year." — IGN Movies
Posted Apr 9, 2004
D 41% Dark Shadows (2012) " ...an unfocused mess -- a top-notch piece of production and costume design in search of a story." — The Playlist
Posted May 8, 2012
D 47% Anonymous (2011) " it fails on its own merits as a messy biopic and even messier historical epic whose authenticity becomes irrelevant when its execution is incompetent." — The Playlist
Posted Oct 24, 2011
D 20% Fireflies in the Garden (2011) " the only thing more false in "Fireflies in the Garden" than its flaccid melodrama is its clichéd emotional redemption." — The Playlist
Posted Oct 12, 2011
D 25% Apollo 18 (2011) " Derivative, dumb, suspenseless and worst of all boring, "Apollo 18" fulfills no expectations except those of the low quality of films released over Labor Day weekend" — The Playlist
Posted Sep 2, 2011
1/5 23% The Smurfs (2011) " Looking at the obnoxious TV ads for The Smurfs, it's easy to dismiss the film as a shrill, joyless exercise in special effects without substance. It's even easier after actually seeing it." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jul 30, 2011
1/5 64% Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) " Madagascar 2 is an overstuffed, unfunny adventure that adds nothing but length to the franchise's running time and, ultimately, disappoints as both a sequel and a standalone film." — IGN Movies
Posted Nov 7, 2008
1/5 7% Babylon A.D. (2008) " Babylon A.D. is a poorly-assembled sci-fi melodrama bereft of excitement or intelligence that will only remind me of the director's earlier, better film because its translated title echoes my sentiments about this one - namely, hatred." — IGN Movies
Posted Aug 29, 2008
1/5 0% One Missed Call (2008) " Borrowing from this bottomless well, perhaps it's best to say that you should hang up, turn off your phone or even cancel your service should this film attempt to reach out and touch you." — IGN Movies
Posted Jan 8, 2008
1/5 30% Youth Without Youth (2007) " A work of stunning inertia and obtuseness, Francis Ford Coppola's return to the director's chair is a disaster of career-destroying proportions..." — IGN Movies
Posted Dec 17, 2007
1/5 28% The Game Plan (2007) " To paraphrase David Spade, I liked this movie the first time I saw it -- when it was called Kindergarten Cop." — IGN Movies
Posted Sep 28, 2007
1/5 13% Mr. Woodcock (2007) " It's as if the (supposedly) innate hilariousness of the title justified pretty much any and all "creative" decisions, and once the actors were cast everyone hoped that the film would figure itself out. They were wrong." — IGN Movies
Posted Sep 14, 2007
1/5 61% Death at a Funeral (2007) " Death at a Funeral has almost no delightful machinations, no consistency of tone, no relatable characters, and worst of all, no funny jokes." — IGN Movies
Posted Aug 22, 2007
1/5 7% Basic Instinct 2 (2006) " Unenjoyable, unerotic, I daresay unwatchable." — IGN Movies
Posted Mar 31, 2006
1/5 1% Alone in the Dark (2005) " It's never good when the audience starts laughing as soon as the movie begins -- and nothing has happened." — IGN Movies
Posted Feb 7, 2005
1/5 4% Fascination (2005) " A sweaty bit of smut disguised as high-class suspense." — IGN Movies
Posted Feb 7, 2005
1/5 10% The Wedding Date (2005) " A distillation of so many rom-com formulas and conventions it's hard to know whether the filmmakers even realized what they were actually doing." — IGN Movies
Posted Feb 7, 2005
1/5 15% Raise Your Voice (2004) " If you're planning to see Raise Your Voice, lower your expectations. Then lower them some more. Even then, you'll be disappointed." — IGN Movies
Posted Oct 7, 2004
1/5 15% Garfield - The Movie (2004) " As a movie star, Garfield is a cat declawed and robbed of his essential, inscrutable charm." — IGN Movies
Posted Jun 11, 2004
62% Salt (2010) " a knuckle-headed action movie that has less creativity or ambition than it does money and star power" — Hollywood News
Posted Jul 20, 2010
6% The Last Airbender (2010) " A soul-crushing disaster made worse by unnecessary, counterproductive 3-D, The Last Airbender fails to immediately qualify as the worst film of the summer only by virtue of the year's abundance of other candidates." — Cinematical
Posted Jun 30, 2010
82% Kites (2010) " a straight-to-video tale that somehow mysteriously managed to find its way to the silver screen." — Cinematical
Posted Jun 11, 2010
28% Clash of the Titans (2010) " two dimensions is more than satisfying presentation format if you're at all interested in Clash of the Titans' otherwise perfectly uninspiring, generic-blockbuster thrills." — H Magazine
Posted Apr 4, 2010
18% Valentine's Day (2010) " Garry Marshall's romantic comedy delivers plenty of wish fulfillment without managing to offer anything remotely fulfilling." — Cinematical
Posted Feb 16, 2010
49% Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010) " there's not one single thing in it that will appeal to a person who has ever seen a mythological origin story before, much less any other sort of adventure movie." — H Magazine
Posted Feb 16, 2010
34% The Wolfman (2010) " Congratulations Universal - you made Van Helsing 2." — H Magazine
Posted Feb 10, 2010
—— The Graves (2010) " The Graves contains virtually none of the necessary elements to succeed even as a cult creepshow." — FEARnet
Posted Feb 2, 2010
18% The Tooth Fairy (2010) " ...a mediocre but largely inoffensive chapter in Johnson's crusade to charm kids." — Cinematical
Posted Jan 22, 2010
22% Planet 51 (2009) " Planet 51 sucks." — Sci Fi Wire
Posted Nov 20, 2009
28% The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) " ...it fulfills the expectations of fans and followers of the franchise but nevertheless still falls short of forming something transcendent and meaningful to everyone else." — Cinematical
Posted Nov 19, 2009
45% The Box (2009) " Badly paced, plotted, directed and acted, the film really defies understanding how and why anyone other than Kelly not only would want to see it, but would make it in the first place." — Sci Fi Wire
Posted Nov 6, 2009
18% The Fourth Kind (2009) " ...a thriller that unravels easily even if it nevertheless occasionally qualifies as a scary good time." — Cinematical
Posted Nov 1, 2009
55% Hardware (1990) " ...a worthy film to revisit primarily to see how well it fueled our feverish imaginations before it fell to the wayside." — Cinematical
Posted Oct 27, 2009
50% The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2010) " ...the kind of cult sensation that earns immortality on the merits of its gobsmacking levels of gore, despite the fact that all in all it's really not a very good film." — Cinematical
Posted Oct 27, 2009
57% The Hills Run Red (2009) " The Hills Run Red is an example of the kind of horror movie that gets a pass from forgiving genre fans, but its clumsy, obvious execution will otherwise not likely entertain (much less scare) anyone else." — Cinematical
Posted Oct 23, 2009
40% Saw VI (2009) " ...a worthy and faithful entry in a franchise which at this point seems expressly designed to document people dying in increasingly inventive ways." — Cinematical
Posted Oct 23, 2009
38% Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant (2009) " ...the first installment in a potential franchise that fails to offer reasons why mainstream audiences will want to follow it any further." — Sci Fi Wire
Posted Oct 23, 2009
50% Astro Boy (AstroBoy) (2009) " Astro Boy ultimately fizzles when it should be flying." — Sci Fi Wire
Posted Oct 23, 2009
25% Law Abiding Citizen (2009) " ...even if it's not an open-and-shut classic, it occasionally makes a compelling argument for the kind of movie that thrills your pulse while not quite making you think." — BitterLawyer.com
