0/4 9% Norbit (2007) " Norbit sets a new standard for the worst Hollywood can conceivably produce." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Feb 9, 2007
0.5/4 13% September Dawn (2007) " Predictable, obvious, often silly." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Nov 8, 2007
1/4 43% The Limits of Control (2009) " However artsy it may be, a movie that jerks the audience along from beginning to end is not a good one." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted May 7, 2009
1/4 20% The Invasion (2007) " The film as a whole is a failure, but additionally, it's also a mess of unedited or badly edited scenes." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Nov 8, 2007
86% Junebug (2005) " A quirky, moderately entertaining, mildly depressing, altogether frustrating work...Too artsy by half. " — culturevulture.net
Posted Aug 4, 2005
80% The Aristocrats (2005) " Unspeakably filthy and offensive" — culturevulture.net
Posted Jul 28, 2005
77% The Beautiful Country (2005) " A poorly-written melodrama which at times borders on the tedious" — culturevulture.net
Posted Jul 7, 2005
1.25/4 8% Furry Vengeance (2010) " Kids will probably enjoy the scenes with the animals getting the best of the humans, and they will all absorb the message that nature needs to be protected, All the bad acting and boring moments in the script will be overlooked. " — Entertainment Insiders
Posted May 2, 2010
1.5/4 56% Cemetery Junction (2010) " While Remi Adefarasin's cinematography gives the picture a superficially cinematic sheen, this is essentially small-minded fare, unimaginative in its ambitions and clumsy in its execution. " — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Apr 21, 2010
1.5/4 28% Clash of the Titans (2010) " Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes and Danny Huston play the three main Greek gods %u2013 Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. Neeson sort of ambles through his role while Fiennes attacks his like he is playing the lead in "Macbeth." Huston has little to do and is totally f" — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Apr 15, 2010
1.5/4 54% Mamma Mia! (2008) " A sappy, meaningless story, something on the order of Gidget Goes to Greece, but perhaps inferior to the Sandra Dee standard." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Jul 17, 2008
1.5/4 21% Catch and Release (2007) " Take heart: you may feel that it takes forever, but the movie will eventually end." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Feb 3, 2007
1.5/4 28% Trust the Man (2006) " Bart Freundlich's romantic comedy substitutes overactive hormons for a love story, and settles for bathroom humor and guilty giggles." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Aug 26, 2006
1.75/4 15% A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) " Haley is a solid replacement for Englund as the murderous Freddy. He is particularly effective in the scenes of Freddy's earlier life. Although his talent was put to better use in "Watchmen" this role should give him employment for years to come." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted May 2, 2010
2/4 58% Shrek Forever After (Shrek 4) (2010) " If you had a tough time getting through Shrek the Third, you'll probably have an even tougher time with Shrek Forever After. Oh, but it's in 3-D. That should make things pop, but it didn't make much of an impression, sort of like the rest of the animati" — Entertainment Insiders
Posted May 21, 2010
2/4 50% The Living Wake (2010) " A small, peculiar film with a big, grating personality, The Living Wake is like a party crasher at an intimate gathering, momentarily intriguing and difficult to forget, but mostly for the wrong reasons." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted May 17, 2010
2/4 85% Looking for Eric (2010) " Though certainly well intended and with a pleasant enough spirit, it lacks anything in the way of urgency, usually the defining trait of a Ken Loach movie." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted May 12, 2010
2/4 69% Babies (2010) " For the first part of the movie the cuteness of the babies is enough but after that the sameness of the film starts to sink in and the need for something else arises." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted May 11, 2010
2/4 19% The Back-up Plan (2010) " It is nice to have Lopez back in a romantic comedy and for the most part it is an acceptable vehicle for her. " — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Apr 25, 2010
2/4 29% Paper Man (2010) " What the film aims to be, I think, is a dry, witty and intimate glimpse into the lives and souls of these misunderstood everyday people, but simply cannot connect" — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Apr 19, 2010
2/4 61% The Joneses (2010) " The execution just didn't live up to the clever premise. If we aren't going to get into the heads of these characters as they witness the havoc they wreak, then director should have kept up the satirical tone of the" — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Apr 16, 2010
2/4 50% Chloe (2010) " Chloe, a shallow, formulaic thriller that feels rushed and somewhat routinely slapped together, registers as a surprising disappointment." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Apr 15, 2010
2/4 26% Why Did I Get Married Too (2010) " One trip to this well was enough. The cast, returning from the first film, is good enough but the story is shrill and unnerving. By the time a tacky ending arrives the audience is ready for something a little lighter and a little brighter. " — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Apr 15, 2010
2/4 61% Breaking Upwards (2010) " As with most films about young love won and lost, Breaking Upwards comes from a place of genuine pain, honesty, and most importantly, delusion." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Apr 15, 2010
2/4 53% Green Zone (2010) " Green Zone begins with Shock and Awe, and Paul Greengrass tries to maintain that tone for the rest of the movie. " — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Apr 15, 2010
2/4 51% Alice in Wonderland (2010) " Anne Hathaway is ridiculously miscast as a deliberately weird White Queen, although the character is supposed to represent Good against the Red Queen's evil." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Apr 13, 2010
2/4 28% Next (2007) " Philip K. Dick is credited as the source of the film. That poor giant of SciFi has been more abused posthumously than anyone else of his genius." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Sep 22, 2007
2/4 4% Happily N'ever After (2006) " It is Shrek-Lite." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Jan 13, 2007
2/4 25% Copying Beethoven, (Klang der Stille) (2006) " The irresponsibly fictionalized Amadeus was an exercise in realism in comparison -- and it was simply a much better film." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Nov 18, 2006
2/4 48% Idlewild (2006) " The only real problem is the inconsistency of performances from the individually outstanding cast." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Sep 2, 2006
2.25/4 43% Robin Hood (2010) " Robin Hood was a workmanlike film with nothing special to recommend it other than the two lead actors and beautifully shot English countryside." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted May 17, 2010
2.5/4 50% The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2010) " If the movie works on any credible level, it's as a deranged, surreal experience." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted May 11, 2010
2.5/4 48% The Losers (2010) " The action in the film is continuous and the excitement is intense. Still there is something just a bit off with the whole plot, look and feel of the film. " — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Apr 26, 2010
2.5/4 21% Letters To God (2010) " Letters To God keeps letting the story be interrupted by the sponsor, which in this case is Christianity." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Apr 15, 2010
2.5/4 67% Date Night (2010) " What the film turned out to be is a good movie but not a great one." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Apr 15, 2010
2.5/4 84% Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) " Running an obscene 2 1/2 hours, presenting a story which could have made a halfway decent half-hour episode of a half-assed TV series, this Potter has no focus, a comprehensive plot, any semblance of cohesion, purpose, meaning." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Apr 13, 2010
2.5/4 60% A Perfect Getaway (2009) " Twohy's script dares and succeeds in peppering the dialogue with funny insider references to Hollywood scripts and actors." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Apr 13, 2010
2.5/4 83% Tropic Thunder (2008) " A delightfully entertaining, very funny movie." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Oct 18, 2008
2.5/4 50% Sex and the City (2008) " Hudson comes through so that you may remember her even when the popcorn is gone. If only the film itself did as well." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted May 29, 2008
2.5/4 45% Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End (2007) " For a long time -- although definitely not all the way to the interminable finale of this whale of a nautical exercise -- you're likely to enjoy what you'll see" — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Nov 8, 2007
2.5/4 90% Michael Clayton (2007) " Shot and edited well, featuring a large, talented cast, Michael Clayton should provide entertainment" — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Oct 13, 2007
2.5/4 90% Knocked Up (2007) " A mostly funny, occasionally charming, steadily foul-mouthed, frequently well-written, otherwise downright stupid comedy, enjoyable in spite of its unaccountably overblown length of over two hours." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Sep 15, 2007
2.5/4 41% Shrek the Third (2007) " The bad news: this year's Shrek the Third is not more fun, cute, entertaining, and clever than the first two. Far from being a yawn, there is no call for jumping up and down either." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Jun 2, 2007
2.5/4 30% The Glamorous Life of Sachiko Hanai (2003) " It's a film to be experienced more than judged and is only recommended for those with adventurous tastes. At the very least, I doubt you'll be bored." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Apr 14, 2007
2.5/4 66% Meet the Robinsons (2007) " Meet the Robinsons is a cheerful mess, a pretty good B movie, albeit with a first-class advertising budget." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Apr 7, 2007
2.5/4 22% The Quiet (2006) " The Quiet, however much it may hold you through most of the story, will leave you at the end stunned by the realization: you have just wasted 96 precious minutes of your presumably not unlimited lifespan." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Sep 2, 2006
2.5/4 74% The Illusionist (2006) " Director Neil Burger populates those splendid settings adequately, with individual performances filling in most of the small holes in the story." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Aug 26, 2006
2.5/4 39% Scoop (2006) " Allen the story-teller, who keeps interrupting the story with lengthy shticks, might have met his demise, but don't let that discourage you from enjoying Scoop." — Entertainment Insiders
Posted Aug 5, 2006
2.75/4 41% Letters to Juliet (2010) " Seyfried is delightful in this movie whereas I have found her just annoying in others. Maybe it is that she gets to share the screen with Bernal and the luminous Vanessa. Those two could make anybody look good. Still Seyfried is also good in her scenes wi" — Entertainment Insiders
Posted May 17, 2010
3/4 92% Solntse (The Sun) (2005) " Alexander Sokurov's "The Sun," arriving in the U.S. five years after its release in Europe, is a stunning film, fascinating to some, probably sleep-inducing to others. " — San Francisco Examiner
