0/5 11% About Cherry (2012) " Everything here is done badly." — New York Daily News
Posted Sep 20, 2012
0/5 35% The Victim (2012) " This is the kind of junky, hard-to-watch thriller that apologists claim is part of a long line of tough, grindhouse-style thrillers, but which is actually just amateurish gristle." — New York Daily News
Posted Aug 23, 2012
0/5 20% Goats (2012) " "Goats" is just b-a-a-a-aad." — New York Daily News
Posted Aug 9, 2012
0/5 34% Battleship (2012) " "Battleship" is the worst humans-fighting-aliens movie I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of humans-fighting-aliens movies." — New York Daily News
Posted May 17, 2012
0/5 32% Intruders (2012) " Owen is a good actor stuck in a subpar creepfest that makes no good use of his gravitas and talents." — New York Daily News
Posted Mar 29, 2012
0/5 26% Underworld Awakening (2012) " [The] latest, dreadful entry in the vampires-battling-werewolves franchise." — New York Daily News
Posted Jan 20, 2012
0/5 25% Apollo 18 (2011) " Has no thrills, no chills, no scares and contains a villain, or several of them, actually, that will turn you to stone -- from boredom." — New York Daily News
Posted Sep 2, 2011
0/5 33% 5 Days Of War (2011) " Embarrassingly clumsy." — New York Daily News
Posted Aug 19, 2011
0/5 19% The Fourth Kind (2009) " Badly acted by everyone (including the director, Olatunde Osunsanmi, who appears onscreen), this insipid jumble's idea of fright is incessant screaming." — New York Daily News
Posted Nov 6, 2009
0/5 41% The Last House on the Left (2009) " Last House on the Left is so stomach-churningly anti-human it makes you wonder why Goldwyn...and Potter signed on." — New York Daily News
Posted Mar 12, 2009
0/5 24% Filth and Wisdom (2008) " Uniformly badly acted down to a loaf of bread, this eye-bleedingly stupid and witless movie is proof that just because someone is considered an icon doesn't mean she should be allowed near movie cameras." — New York Daily News
Posted Oct 17, 2008
0/4 5% 88 Minutes (2008) " This slimy, slug-minded mystery thriller starts out dead on arrival and then, like three-day-old fish, gets really bad really fast. And it stays bad, ensnaring its star and every other cast member in its wretched net." — New York Daily News
Posted Apr 18, 2008
0.5/5 12% Did You Hear About the Morgans? (2009) " You know the line about what a bear does in the woods? Not only is that wittier than all of Did You Hear About the Morgans?, it describes the movie as well." — New York Daily News
Posted Dec 17, 2009
0.5/5 34% G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) " Sure, big dumb fun can be big dumb fun, but Sommers goes beyond the "more is more" modus operandi and launches into "too much is never enough" territory." — New York Daily News
Posted Aug 7, 2009
1/5 18% 1st Night (2013) " The movie may appeal to theater aficionados and Juilliard undergrads, but to the average moviegoer, it's a trudge." — New York Daily News
Posted May 2, 2013
1/5 8% The Big Wedding (2013) " Movie-family weddings are like real ones. Some faces are welcome, some you dread and others have had work done. But they all get tiresome quickly." — New York Daily News
Posted Apr 25, 2013
1/5 4% Scary Movie 5 (2013) " Like so much of this whole series, the mere mention of a familiar pop culture figure or title is supposed to be hilarious." — New York Daily News
Posted Apr 12, 2013
1/5 74% Simon Killer (2013) " Sort of "An American Psycho's European Vacation," this indie dramatic thriller mixes sex and violence and still winds up dull." — New York Daily News
Posted Apr 4, 2013
1/5 13% Love And Honor (2013) " Hemsworth has presence, but he also represents this film's biggest problem: It feels like a bunch of good-looking kids putting on a show." — New York Daily News
Posted Mar 21, 2013
1/5 43% Admission (2013) " This thin envelope of a comedy checks all the boxes for being a phoned-in, phony, padded rom-com." — New York Daily News
Posted Mar 21, 2013
1/5 8% K-11 (2013) " Points for niche audaciousness, but that's all." — New York Daily News
Posted Mar 14, 2013
1/5 10% If I Were You (2012) " Bloody awful." — New York Daily News
Posted Mar 14, 2013
1/5 19% Inescapable (2013) " Muddled and inert despite the best intentions, this inescapably dull thriller plays like a Middle Eastern take on Liam Neeson's "Taken."" — New York Daily News
Posted Feb 21, 2013
1/5 27% Saving Lincoln (2013) " Comes off like a View-Master version of a tale already told." — New York Daily News
Posted Feb 14, 2013
1/5 15% A Good Day To Die Hard (2013) " This leaden flick is completely joyless." — New York Daily News
Posted Feb 13, 2013
1/5 56% Would You Rather (2013) " With a bit less grisliness, it could have been a mystery dinner-theater performance." — New York Daily News
Posted Feb 7, 2013
1/5 16% A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III (2013) " From its puffed-up title to the way the cast playfully bows to us at the end, "Swan" is so eager to be a trippy comic lark that it ends up resembling a clown trying to fit through a pea-shooter." — New York Daily News
Posted Feb 7, 2013
1/5 20% Girls Against Boys (2013) " Panabaker and LaLiberte give their all, but the movie is all moral compass and mainstream emotion, and never as edgy or transgressive as it thinks it is." — New York Daily News
Posted Jan 31, 2013
1/5 19% The Baytown Outlaws (2013) " Director Barry Battles seems to believe his three grubby main characters are more charming than they are." — New York Daily News
Posted Jan 10, 2013
1/5 19% Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013) " "Texas Chainsaw 3D" sees itself as over-the-top and knowing, but what we ultimately get is simply eyes without a face." — New York Daily News
Posted Jan 3, 2013
1/5 67% Price Check (2012) " Disjointed, tonally numb and short of laughs, this indie comedy hasn't got a fresh ingredient in it." — New York Daily News
Posted Nov 15, 2012
1/5 25% Paranormal Activity 4 (2012) " Of course, a promise of more activity to come. But unless moviegoers think it's worth watching another whole cast of characters sleep while their furniture moves around them, only diehard fans will stay awake for that next entry." — New York Daily News
Posted Oct 18, 2012
1/5 14% Excuse Me for Living (2012) " Atrocious dreck that feels sitcomish, only without the polish or panache." — New York Daily News
Posted Oct 11, 2012
1/5 9% Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You (2012) " His pain may be useful to James someday, but to viewers, it's annoying right here and now." — New York Daily News
Posted Oct 4, 2012
1/5 44% The Paperboy (2012) " There is so much sweaty, gum-smackin', Southern-accented *acting* going on, you'd applaud if you weren't appalled." — New York Daily News
Posted Oct 4, 2012
1/5 78% Dredd (2012) " "Dredd" is a lot of murk and grunt with no inner engine. And the unnecessary 3-D only makes it look muddier." — New York Daily News
Posted Sep 20, 2012
1/5 30% Resident Evil: Retribution (2012) " Thuddingly awful." — New York Daily News
Posted Sep 17, 2012
1/5 54% The Inbetweeners (2012) " The snicks and giggles of adolescence grow wearying yet again, despite a few witty bits, none of which are in McKenzie's intrusive narration." — New York Daily News
Posted Sep 6, 2012
1/5 38% [REC] 3 Genesis (2012) " Like vampires, this genre is getting deadly." — New York Daily News
Posted Sep 6, 2012
1/5 56% The Revenant (2012) " By the middle of the second hour, you'll be wishing a zombie would just chomp off your head to end the pain." — New York Daily News
Posted Aug 23, 2012
1/5 25% Why Stop Now (2012) " This comic drama tries too hard to serve up a slice of manic life, but Eisenberg, along with Tracy Morgan and Isiah Whitlock Jr. as the affable druggies, provides some spark." — New York Daily News
Posted Aug 16, 2012
1/5 18% $upercapitalist (2012) " Filled with enough clichés (finance culture seems to have the same frat-boy DNA the world over, bro) to be broken up and sold in pieces as junk material." — New York Daily News
Posted Aug 9, 2012
1/5 31% Total Recall (2012) " There's something sadly poetic about a movie dealing with disappearing memories that vanishes from your mind while you watch it." — New York Daily News
Posted Aug 2, 2012
1/5 5% 30 Beats (2012) " "30 Beats" goes on to a meandering orgasm of multiple, less-than-dangerous liaisons meant to titillate, fascinate and illuminate. But once the sweat dries, it irritates." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 19, 2012
1/5 28% Crazy Eyes (2012) " This slovenly, self-indulgent riff on Charles Bukowski-like fringe-livers has all of the naked harshness of Bukowski with none of the poetry." — New York Daily News
Posted Jul 5, 2012
1/5 35% Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012) " This insipid mashup of history lesson and monster flick takes itself semi-seriously, which is truly deadly." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 21, 2012
1/5 21% That's My Boy (2012) " It truly does take a village of idiots to get these films made." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 14, 2012
1/5 79% Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted (2012) " Despite a script co-written by Noah Baumbach, "Madagascar 3" can't upgrade its own shtick, becoming a craven example of a fast-buck, no-fun family film." — New York Daily News
Posted Jun 7, 2012
1/5 81% A Cat in Paris (2012) " Doesn't enchant." — New York Daily News
Posted May 31, 2012
1/5 46% Beyond The Black Rainbow (2012) " Add two more stars here if zoning out to weirdo-dreamy, '80s public-access TV with a synthesizer soundtrack is your idea of midnight fun." — New York Daily News
