52% The Greatest (2010) " A brave actor if not a technically dazzling one, Brosnan gives a moving performance, but he's constantly undercut by the predictability of Allen's woes." — Village Voice
Posted Mar 31, 2010
80% That Evening Sun (2009) " Holbrook is as unsentimental as Abner himself, and the beauty of his work here lies in his refusal to soften the character's hard edges. Regrettably, Teems's editorial choices in the film's homestretch waste that discipline." — City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul
Posted Nov 3, 2009
—— Jump! (2007) " Handsomely produced but dramatically inert." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Oct 29, 2009
20% Hannah Free (2009) " Hannah Free is as predictable as a Hallmark Channel movie, although there's undeniable pleasure to be had from watching Gless mumble and grumble and generally chew the scenery. Cagney lives, and she's as cranky as ever." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Oct 22, 2009
—— Warning!!! Pedophile Released (2009) " Whether Ryan means this as art or exploitation, I can't say, but it's definitely a theme more disturbing than the buzzword in the film's title." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Oct 15, 2009
39% Brief Interviews with Hideous Men (2009) " Whatever it was about Hideous Men that so deeply affected Krasinski the college student has been lost in translation." — Village Voice
Posted Sep 23, 2009
21% H2: Halloween II (2009) " Zombie has talent to burn, but he's slumming here, and one suspects that he knows it." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Sep 1, 2009
34% G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra (2009) " After a first hour that plays like a bad TV show, Sommers hits his groove with an over-the-top Paris chase sequence that, in turn, leads to an underwater finale that's absurdly overproduced, momentarily diverting, and then instantly forgettable." — Village Voice
Posted Aug 12, 2009
66% Dead Snow (Død snø) (2009) " Let's call this the gooiest movie of the year (so far)." — Village Voice
Posted Jun 16, 2009
—— Unbeatable Harold (2010) " Unbeatable Harold is an obvious labor of love that is, much like Harold himself, sweet and occasionally amusing but often a bit grating." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Jun 11, 2009
18% Love N' Dancing (2008) " Everyone moves beautifully, yet director Robert Iscove keeps such a coolly professional distance from the dancers that we never feel their heat." — L.A. Weekly
Posted May 7, 2009
—— Baby on Board (2008) " One winces for the cast, although end-title outtakes suggest that the principal stars had a high time -- which can only mean that when it comes to loving whoopee cushion humor, there is no middle ground." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 2, 2009
52% Shuttle (2008) " Next time, spring for a cab." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Mar 5, 2009
—— Growing Out (2009) " Well produced but overlong, Growing Out feels like a labor of love made by young filmmakers in need of a stern screenwriting professor." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Jan 22, 2009
—— Lower Learning (2008) " Lafferty is all about expletives and sexual innuendo of the frankest kind, some of it so raunchy (and unfunny) as to make one wonder if the parents of the film's many child actors bothered to read the script." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Oct 9, 2008
51% The Family That Preys (2008) " This snail-paced film might as well take place in the 1950s, since it seems to have been inspired by one those Hollywood melodramas in which one company employs the entire town, and the only places free of corruption are the church and the local diner." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Sep 18, 2008
62% Traitor (2008) " Creating an ingenious mad bomber isn't quite the thrill it used to be." — City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul
Posted Aug 28, 2008
63% Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer (2007) " This low-budget horror comedy arrives via a lively trailer and a witty print ad, yet the film itself never quite takes off." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Aug 14, 2008
8% Prom Night (2008) " There's nothing scary in there, but here's a shudder-inducing fact: McCormick and Cardone are currently collaborating on a remake of the witty and nearly perfect 1987 thriller, The Stepfather." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 14, 2008
0% Cover (2007) " Duke appears to be aiming for a Tyler Perry-style mix of the taboo and the saintly, but his touch is so leaden that one ends up giggling, not weeping." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Feb 21, 2008
13% Running With Arnold (2007) " It's a shame that [Director Dan] Cox resorts to such Rove-style foolishness." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Jan 10, 2008
—— Forfeit (2007) " Director Andrew Brendan Shea can't seem to decide if he's making a thriller, a boozy blue-collar melodrama or a religious parable." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Dec 5, 2007
74% The Mist (2007) " The Mist made me want to scream, but for all the wrong reasons." — Village Voice
Posted Nov 20, 2007
56% Weirdsville (2007) " I kept wishing for a rewrite that sent the Satanists packing and pulled the love story hiding within Wennekers' script to the fore." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Oct 18, 2007
12% Feel the Noise (2007) " First-time screenwriter Albert Leon appears to have turned for music industry insight not to his famous producer (who has no excuses) but to other music-themed movies (Mariah Carey's Glitter, perhaps?)." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Oct 8, 2007
14% Skinwalkers (2007) " The only thing more boring than a vampire with moral issues about biting people in the neck is a werewolf who'd rather become fully human than howl at the moon once a month." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Aug 10, 2007
—— The Boy Who Cried Bitch: The Adolescent Years () " This is a decidedly bizarre movie, nicely photographed and designed -- someone spent some money -- but built entirely around dialogue so stilted and unrevealing that it's little wonder poor [actor Adam] LaVorgna screams it." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Feb 15, 2007
26% Daddy's Little Girls (2007) " Perry has great casting instincts, and in Elba and Union he's matched two gifted, equally gorgeous actors, both of whom seem ready to make sparks fly. If only their director would let them." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Feb 15, 2007
14% Black Christmas (2006) " The sorority girls are so interchangeable, and so uninteresting, that I got to wishing that Morgan and all those who tred the lucrative horror remake market would take the time to create a bonafide heroine whose survival we could cheer." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Dec 27, 2006
64% Sleeping Dogs Lie (2006) " Amy's sin never for a second rings true, and eventually grows tiresome." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Oct 19, 2006
10% The Grudge 2 (2006) " Some unsettling moments here, but the evil ghost itself is a predictable one-trick pony." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Oct 19, 2006
48% Beowulf & Grendel (2006) " [You can] feel the filmmakers yearning to have Beowulf and Grendel go all Rambo on each other. Instead, they keep pulling back for more Old English angst, as if they're torn between commerce and winning the approval of their high school English teacher." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Jul 27, 2006
22% The Oh in Ohio (2006) " It's as if the filmmakers lost their nerve when it came time to write the kind of intimate, revealing conversation that can make a sex toy unnecessary." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Jul 13, 2006
18% Loverboy (2006) " Kevin Bacon (Sedgwick's husband) can't seem to decide if he's making a film about a loving eccentric or a sociopath." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Jun 15, 2006
36% Saving Shiloh (2006) " The latest film to be drawn from Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's best-selling young-adult trilogy about a frisky West Virginia beagle with a knack for bringing people together." — L.A. Weekly
Posted May 11, 2006
31% Stick It (2006) " ... uneven teen sports drama ..." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 28, 2006
63% I Am A Sex Addict (2006) " ... while some may bail early, those who stay to the end are likely to dwell on Zahedi's unwavering (some would say unrelenting) belief in his own artistry, as well as the film's many funny, quotable lines ..." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 27, 2006
30% The Sisters (2006) " [An] overcooked reinterpretation of Chekhov's The Three Sisters." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 13, 2006
42% When Do We Eat? (2006) " When Do We Eat? may strike a chord with those struggling to reconcile traditional faith and modernity, though few are likely to buy Ira's post-high transformation into a loving husband and father." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 6, 2006
44% Take the Lead (2006) " There, the music shifts from Lena Horne to hip hop Gershwin remixes, and on to a dance-off finale and closing credit sequence that's the only rousing part of this movie." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 6, 2006
60% Lonesome Jim (2006) " Screenwriter James C. Strouse (in whose hometown the film was shot) provides so few clues to the source of Jim's malaise, or that of his entire sad-sack family, that the movie remains rudderless and not the least bit believable." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Mar 30, 2006
27% The Shaggy Dog (2006) " The film drags in the homestretch, as the filmmakers needlessly shuffle characters around the city." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Mar 9, 2006
9% Ultraviolet (2006) " Ultraviolet and the recent Resident Evil films mark this compelling Russian beauty as the unofficial queen of Xbox-ready junk movies, which are fast becoming the new century's equivalent of radioactive bug flicks." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Mar 6, 2006
40% Running Scared (2006) " Running Scared is decently acted and divertingly brutal, but it's also a giant step backward for its maker." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Feb 23, 2006
16% Underworld: Evolution (2006) " As with Underworld: Evolution's 2003 predecessor, you leave the theatre feeling as if the filmmakers are still back there, with PowerPoint flow charts, explaining the flashback-intensive plotline ..." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Jan 24, 2006
4% Bloodrayne (2006) " Actors have bills to pay too, and who knows, maybe Transylvania is nice in the summer." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Jan 6, 2006
30% Finding Home (2003) " [The film] moves slowly and deflates completely when the over-hyped family secret turns out to be a dramatic dud." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Dec 15, 2005
20% Doom (2005) " [I] wonder how the respected cinematographer Andrzej Bartkowiak (Prizzi's Honor, Terms of Endearment) came to direct such muddled, derivative crap." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Oct 20, 2005
75% In Her Shoes (2005) " Classy junk." — L.A. Weekly
Posted Oct 6, 2005
10% Venom (2005) " Basically just a moss-strewn remake of his 1997 hit, I Know What You Did Last Summer." — L.A. Weekly
