Conversations With God (2006) |
"
The cinematography has all the flair and depth of your average episode of "Yes, Dear"; the score is a giggle-inducing juggernaut of obviousness; Eric DelaBarre's script contains virtually no believable dialogue; and Stephen Simons' direction carries the s"

The Book of Eli (2010) |

More than anything, it reminded me of Walter Hill's rather lame Yojimbo remake, Last Man Standing, although that movie at least had the benefit of Christopher Walken in the cast and a nasty Ry Cooder soundtrack."

Armageddon (1998) |
"
It's safe to assume that rights issues kept the studio from bundling all the Criterion goodies into this package, but come on -- if studios want to shore up their ailing video sales, charing $30 list for a package this skimpy is not the way to do it."

The Neverending Story (1984) |

Unites cheesy effects, an inexplicable solo hit from former Kajagoogoo front-thing Limahl, and some of the worst child acting you've ever seen in your life to create a film that never comes close to the magic of Ende's story."
