The Losers (2010) |

It's not only stupidly written, it's shot like [director Sylvain] White walked away and handed the reins to a brain-damaged orangatan."

Transformers (2007) |
"
Considering that the whole movie is being sold as nothing more than a CGI version of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, one kind of expects there to be more rockin' and sockin' and less funny business with Optimus Prime destroying Mom's flower bed."

Robin Hood (2010) |

The Proposal (2009) |
"
The acting is decent, the writing competent, and the DP kept everything in focus most of the time. This may seem like faint praise, but given the state of the modern American rom-com, that places it head-and-shoulders above most of the genre."
