Biography:
Big Picture Big Sound co-founder Joe Lozito has been a fan and critic of movies since a very early age. At the age of 10, he was keeping his movie ticket stubs in a photo album with what would later be called “capsule reviews” written underneath. Why he was seeing so many movies at that age is better left to the therapist’s couch. As Joe became more of an authority (in his own mind anyway) on film, he made the transition to online movie review publishing in 1998 in the form of joelozito.com. In 2005, that archive of material put the “Big Picture” in Big Picture Big Sound. Joe has also dabbled in music and acting in New York City and has, like most critics, a screenplay or two in his back pocket. When he’s not staring at a screen in a darkened room, Joe enjoys playing guitar, karate, golf and scuba diving. However, he mostly watches movies. Mostly.

Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
0/4 4% The Apparition (2012) " The only thing scary about this DOA horror attempt is that it ever got made." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Aug 24, 2012
0/4 16% Shark Night 3D (2011) " How could this movie be so unconscionably bad - so inept in every way - that it actually makes "Jaws: The Revenge" redeemable?" — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Sep 8, 2011
0/4 24% Gun Shy (2000) — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Dec 27, 2007
0/4 9% Catwoman (2004) " I'm pretty sure an actual cat could have made a better film." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Dec 27, 2007
0/4 43% Charlie's Angels - Full Throttle (2003) " Well, at least the title is apt -- this aggravatingly incoherent series of subpar music videos did make me want to see someone fully throttled." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Dec 27, 2007
0/4 15% Hannibal Rising (2007) — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Jul 14, 2007
0/4 40% The Island (2005) — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Jul 14, 2007
0/4 4% The Fog (2005) " Even the geography of the film doesn't seem to make sense." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Jul 14, 2007
0/4 30% Tideland (2006) " Now, I like pushing boundaries as much as the next guy. When it's done well, as in say Todd Solondz' wonderfully dark Happiness, it can be searingly challenging. But in the case of Tideland it's just uncomfortable to watch." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Jul 14, 2007
0/4 17% The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) " Easily one of the worst films I've ever seen." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Jul 14, 2007
0/4 22% Van Helsing (2004) — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Jul 14, 2007
.5/4 24% Conan the Barbarian (2011) " A misfire in every way, this franchise reboot is a noisy, incomprehensible mess of a film that almost makes worse use of the character than it does of the 3D technology." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Aug 19, 2011
0.5/4 29% The Punisher (2004) " Standard, styleless revenge fantasy." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Jul 6, 2010
.5/4 22% Repo Men (2010) " Grisly, humorless and over-long, this sci-fi thriller about the repossession of artificial organs isn't nearly as interesting, clever or original as it wants to be." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Mar 18, 2010
.5/4 20% Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) " Even for a Michael Bay movie, this robot-on-robot sequel is a pointless, messy assault on the senses. The special effects, of course, are flawless. The rest is scrap metal." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Jun 23, 2009
.5/4 29% Underworld: The Rise of the Lycans (2009) " Bad even for a movie about vampires and werewolves, this "Underworld" prequel should, at the very least, be the final nail in this franchise's (ahem) coffin." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Jan 24, 2009
0.5/4 27% The Stepford Wives (2004) — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Dec 27, 2007
1/4 15% A Good Day To Die Hard (2013) " This insultingly slap-dash sequel has as little relation to the original "Die Hard" as it does to logic and narrative coherence." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Feb 14, 2013
1/4 36% Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) " This third installment in the noisy, interminable, and in-all-ways robotic series is not quite as unforgivably bad as the last one, but that doesn't make it good." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Jun 28, 2011
1/4 23% Sucker Punch (2011) " "300" director Zack Snyder may be an expert in fetishistic CGI cartoon violence, but "Sucker Punch" proves that style never trumps story." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Mar 25, 2011
1/4 35% Battle: Los Angeles (2011) " Viewed as a parody, this subpar alien invasion flick is worth a few laughs. If only it were meant that way." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Mar 10, 2011
1/4 56% Unknown (2011) " Despite its Herculean plot contortions, this latest entry in the American-caught-in-a-foreign-city formula fails to live up to its stolen-identity premise." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Feb 18, 2011
1/4 62% Salt (2010) " Angelina Jolie's half-baked actioner feels like it was unearthed from some pre-Iron Curtain time capsule. Maybe back then we would've bought the wildly improbable plot." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Jul 22, 2010
1/4 19% Cop Out (2010) " Desperately unfunny, tone-deaf homage to 80s buddy cop movies from director Kevin Smith - just one of the many who should have known better." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Feb 25, 2010
1/4 68% Revolutionary Road (2008) " Affected, overwrought misstep from director Sam Mendes tracks the brutal disintegration of a 50s-era suburban couple in high style and higher melodrama." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Dec 23, 2008
1/4 44% National Treasure (2004) — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Oct 18, 2008
1/4 43% Death Race (2008) " Paul W. S. Anderson's noisy, nonsensical remake fails to hold together even in its own paper-thin world." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Aug 21, 2008
1/4 18% Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) " The degeneration of the "Star Wars" saga continues unabated with this latest, most kid-friendly Lucas-produced assault on the memory of the once-beloved franchise." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Aug 14, 2008
1/4 67% Redbelt (2008) " Ill-conceived morality play set in the world of mixed martial arts is clearly a labor of love for writer-director David Mamet. It's just a labor for the audience." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted May 1, 2008
1/4 25% Drillbit Taylor (2008) " Tone-deaf would-be comedy about three high school wimps who hire Owen Wilson as their bodyguard. If this sounds familiar it's because there's nothing new here." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Mar 20, 2008
1/4 16% Jumper (2008) " This rare misstep from director Doug Liman, about a young loner who finds he has the power to teleport, ironically goes nowhere." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Feb 13, 2008
1/4 13% First Sunday (2008) " David E. Talbert's frenetically unfunny comedy about two losers who attempt to rob a church. Doesn't have a prayer." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Jan 10, 2008
1/4 14% Driven (2001) — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Dec 27, 2007
1/4 12% Timeline (2003) " If only I could go back in time to convince myself not to watch this ludicrous time travel yarn which 'faxes' a group of uninteresting characters back to the 1300s to screw up the space-time continuum." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Dec 27, 2007
1/4 26% Cradle 2 the Grave (2003) — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Dec 27, 2007
1/4 21% Resident Evil - Apocalypse (2004) " Another underwhelming entry to another underwhelming franchise." — Big Picture Big Sound

1/4 55% The Girl Next Door (2004) — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Dec 27, 2007
1/4 71% Napoleon Dynamite (2004) " Writer-director Jared Hess tries for John Hughes by way of the Coen Brothers, but only comes up with one dull, unfunny non-sequitur after another." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Dec 27, 2007
1/4 43% Immortel (ad vitam) (Immortal) (2004) — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Dec 27, 2007
1/4 35% National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007) " Almost unconscionably lousy sequel to 2004's equally bad Dan Brown rip-off is only made worse by its staggering waste of talent." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Dec 22, 2007
1/4 73% The Mist (2007) " In the worst film about a weather pattern since 2005's The Fog, Stephen King go-to adapter Frank Darabont launches this dreadful misfire that works as neither horror nor social commentary." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Nov 24, 2007
1/4 43% The Brave One (2007) " Dreadful misfire casts Jodie Foster as a vengeance-fueled vigilante bent on cleaning up a New York that hasn't existed for years." — Big Picture Big Sound
Posted Sep 13, 2007
1/4 9% Eye of the Beholder (2000) — Big Picture Big Sound
