Season of the Witch (2011) |
"
Because this is the first release of 2011, it would too be easy to crown "Season of the Witch" the worst film of the year, but I'm sure it will live up to that title for weeks to come. "

Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore (2010) |
"
A horrible movie that likely will entertain (very young) children. But when movies like "Toy Story 3" and "Despicable Me" are still in theaters, it feels irresponsible to force them to see this."

The Last Airbender (2010) |
"

Jonah Hex (2010) |
"
"Jonah Hex" is a movie missing every element of what makes a movie. It's a gritty comic book adaptation without the grit. It has characters without character in a story without storytelling. "
