Posted Sep 13, 2010
0/5 5% 88 Minutes (2008) " Forget the mess 88 Minutes as it only takes five minutes for viewers to recognize a loser." — ReviewExpress.com

Posted Nov 25, 2011
.5/5 6% All About Steve (2009) " Putting a marshmallow on top of a pile of cooked spinach, is still not a dessert. All About Steve is no comedy, and just might be the worst film of 2009." — ReviewExpress.com
Posted Sep 4, 2009
.5/5 65% Apocalypto (2006) " It's disturbing that we get so much violence on TV and in the real news, that a filmmaker would make a conscious effort to create more of it. This is one of the most sadistic and violent movies I have ever seen." — ReviewExpress.com
Posted Dec 13, 2006
1/5 4% A Little Bit Of Heaven (2012) " For those who have a lot of time to waste" — ReviewExpress.com

Posted Jan 17, 2012
1/5 50% Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole (2010) " Legends is like a violent video game and the mention of Happy Feet is an obvious misdirection. " — ReviewExpress.com
Posted Sep 26, 2010
1/5 74% Splice (2010) " Clive and Elsa won't be the only ones feeling the pierce of Dren's deadly tail or tale...so will viewers." — ReviewExpress.com

Posted Mar 9, 2009
1/5 8% Premonition (2007) " Premonition is annoying, mind-numbing, unoriginal, and it's certainly not entertaining." — ReviewExpress.com
Posted Mar 21, 2007
1/5 5% Because I Said So (2007) " Every cliché that's ever been in a romantic comedy appears tossed into Because I Said So and delivered by very unfunny actresses." — ReviewExpress.com
Posted Feb 2, 2007
1/5 24% Lady in the Water (2006) " Far-fetched is the kindest thing to say about Lady in the Water, a disjointed and mind-numbing story." — ReviewExpress.com
Posted Jul 19, 2006
2.5 30% The Vow (2012) " Anyone who likes logic in their romance may be disappointed." — ReviewExpress.com
Posted Feb 16, 2012
.5 30% Sanctum (2011) " The actors lack believability and smart moviegoers could write each scene before it happens." — ReviewExpress.com
Posted Feb 4, 2011
2.5 51% The Switch (2010) " Bateman shines in tired plot" — ReviewExpress.com
Posted Aug 26, 2010
54% Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) " This sequel is appropriately named, because that's what you'll be staring at for nearly half the movie: dead men's chests." — ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Posted Jul 5, 2006
7% Basic Instinct 2 (2006) " The rest of the film may be murky and dull, but physically, it's hard to take your eyes off Stone. She's absolutely stunning. " — ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Posted Mar 31, 2006
38% Flightplan (2005) " Unfortunately, the best part of 'Flightplan' is the airplane, which exists only on film." — ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Posted Sep 25, 2005
10% House of D (2004) " 'House of D' felt rushed to me, and none of its elements seemed fully developed." — ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Posted Apr 24, 2005
53% Melinda and Melinda (2005) " None of the characters have their own voice. They all sound like Woody Allen." — ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Posted Apr 2, 2005
44% The Jacket (2005) " 'The Jacket' tries to be too many things at once, and its various elements get in the way of each other." — ReelTalk Movie Reviews

Posted Jul 11, 2003
64% The Dancer Upstairs (2002) " The story meanders weakly around the main plot and is only reined in by Bardem's strong and cunning performance." — ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Posted May 26, 2003
48% Assassination Tango (2003) " Duvall's passion for the tango seems lost in a spinning plot that needs more than a few fancy steps to appease viewers." — ReelTalk Movie Reviews

Posted Aug 2, 2002
33% Windtalkers (2002) " Those 400 important Marine code talkers should have been the focus of this movie instead of one shell-shocked Marine." — ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Posted Aug 2, 2002

Posted Aug 2, 2002

Posted Nov 7, 2009
1.5/5 32% Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006) " Although the Beauty and the Beast theme works in many movies, Fur lacks anything interesting about its sets, locations, music or costumes and ends up being a pitiful made-up story of a real person." — ReviewExpress.com

Posted Jul 6, 2012
