What's Your Number? (2011) |
"
In spite of efforts to instill in our young women the notion that self-worth shouldn't be measured by her ability to attract a husband, filmmakers continue to craft comedy from that very outmoded belief."

When in Rome (2010) |
"
'When in Rome' is a brainless mess of silly characters doing stupid things on camera. Everyone involved should be completely embarrassed."

The Book of Eli (2010) |
"
The movie occasionally teeters on greatness, especially from a visual standpoint, but nearly every brilliant moment is countered by five boneheaded errors."

Pirate Radio (The Boat That Rocked) (2009) |
