2.5/4 46% Parkland (2013) " Takes one of the most traumatizing events of the American 20th century and turns it into a trivia digest." — New York Post
Posted Oct 4, 2013
1/4 53% A.C.O.D. (2013) " [A] pointless, meaningless and witless comedy ..." — New York Post
Posted Oct 4, 2013
1.5/4 8% Runner Runner (2013) " He's back! Behold, the second coming of . . . Badfleck." — New York Post
Posted Oct 4, 2013
2.5/4 83% Shepard & Dark (2013) " A disarming but low-impact documentary that amounts to an odd dual biopic, "Shepard & Dark" can feel a bit like intruding on a conversation between two old friends." — New York Post
Posted Sep 27, 2013
1.5/4 90% Inequality For All (2013) " A cinematic listicle of misleading economic talking points." — New York Post
Posted Sep 27, 2013
1/4 59% Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (2013) " Whelk, I hope the makers of "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" earned a nice celery, but I'm afraid they made a hash of things. A hash seasoned with oy sauce." — New York Post
Posted Sep 26, 2013
1.5/4 78% Metallica Through the Never (2013) " This movie is basically "Spinal Tap" minus the jokes." — New York Post
Posted Sep 26, 2013
1/5 50% Thanks For Sharing (2013) " This comedy is cringe-inducingly lame and the dramatic turns are visible as far in advance as utility poles on the prairie." — New York Post
Posted Sep 20, 2013
1.5/5 14% The Colony (2013) " A screaming, lunging, chomping chase movie that has nothing new to bring to a genre that just won't die." — New York Post
Posted Sep 20, 2013
3/5 88% Rush (2013) " Fine filmmaking, a smart, visually engorged, frequently thrilling tale of boyish competition - inspired by a true story. At heart it's "Amadeus" on wheels, only this time Salieri is the Austrian." — New York Post
Posted Sep 19, 2013
1/5 33% The Family (2013) " Remember when Robert De Niro was an interesting actor? These days his talent, like his character in "The Family," is in the witness protection program, never to be seen again." — New York Post
Posted Sep 12, 2013
23% A Teacher (2013) " An evocative but ultimately hollow indie drama." — New York Post
Posted Sep 6, 2013
34% Adore (2013) " I have no idea why such strapping young men would be so desperate for sex as to hook up with a couple of museum artifacts they've known all their lives, but this hokey soap views contrivance as a small price to pay for lush mommy fantasy." — New York Post
Posted Sep 6, 2013
60% Riddick (2013) " The movie jogs along nicely without ever getting a case of the stupids; far from being a bloated "John Carter," it's just a pared-down yarn of survival: "Die Hard" on a planet." — New York Post
Posted Sep 6, 2013
1/4 13% The Lifeguard (2013) " The central character simply comes across as whiny and entitled instead of troubled and dark, and the central theme of getting your groove back by acting like a kid again has been done many times by much more talented filmmakers." — New York Post
Posted Aug 30, 2013
0.5/4 3% Getaway (2013) " "Getaway" is so bad that what's most surprising about it is that Nicolas Cage didn't manage to star in it." — New York Post
Posted Aug 29, 2013
1.5/4 89% The World's End (2013) " The movie independently bungles everything it tries, like a Central Park busker who simultaneously sucks at juggling, harmonica playing and skateboarding." — New York Post
Posted Aug 22, 2013
3/4 75% You're Next (2013) " The film begins as an utterly routine horror flick with all the usual musty tricks, but that's just rope-a-dope. The expectation of stupidity makes the cleverness to follow stand out." — New York Post
Posted Aug 22, 2013
1/4 12% The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013) " "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" hopes to be the start of a new franchise for tweens and Twihards, but the twuth is this twash is anything but a twiumph." — New York Post
Posted Aug 20, 2013
2/4 4% Paranoia (2013) " Why blaze new trails when the old ones are so well-marked? This one is essentially "The Firm" with smartphones." — New York Post
Posted Aug 16, 2013
2/4 81% Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013) " Lowery put 90 percent of his energy into the atmosphere and 10 percent into the script." — New York Post
Posted Aug 16, 2013
2.5/4 30% Kick-Ass 2 (2013) " A joke isn't as funny the second time around, and maybe especially not if you shout it." — New York Post
Posted Aug 15, 2013
2.5/4 84% Prince Avalanche (2013) " An uneasy mix of Richard Linklater and Abbott and Costello, "Prince Avalanche" is an oddment, but one that brings some small, peculiar pleasures." — New York Post
Posted Aug 9, 2013
1.5/4 68% Elysium (2013) " Putting on his Very Serious face for what ought to be a romp, Matt Damon is exactly the wrong choice for a role that 1980s Arnold Schwarzenegger would have played with a twinkle in his eye." — New York Post
Posted Aug 6, 2013
1/4 47% We're The Millers (2013) " Jason Sudeikis in the lead? As a drug dealer who could never hope to pass for a picket-fence type? Please, the man looks like he was born in a Lands' End catalog." — New York Post
Posted Aug 6, 2013
2.5/4 69% Cockneys vs Zombies (2013) " You may protest that this is just a splattery feature-length sketch, and you'd be absolutely right. Why not have a laugh at this absurdly trite concept?" — New York Post
Posted Aug 2, 2013
1.5/4 91% The Spectacular Now (2013) " The fast-talking but increasingly insufferable Teller ... displays little ability to modulate his performance as the movie gradually turns darker and darker ..." — New York Post
Posted Aug 2, 2013
1.5/4 63% 2 Guns (2013) " Just go ahead and assume that everybody is trying to kill everybody and you'll be relatively clear." — New York Post
Posted Aug 1, 2013
1/4 14% The Smurfs 2 (2013) " They're as lethally uninteresting as Barney the Purple Dinosaur, though a Godzilla-style "Barney vs. Smurfs" is a movie I would pay to see, provided maximum destruction were promised." — New York Post
Posted Jul 31, 2013
1.5/4 53% Wasteland (2013) " The shallow, derivative and contrived British heist thriller "Wasteland" lives down to its unfortunate name." — New York Post
Posted Jul 26, 2013
2.5/4 69% The Wolverine (2013) " There's teeming bombast and great gushers of villainy, but we've seen it all before and we'll see it all again, probably next week." — New York Post
Posted Jul 24, 2013
0.5/4 14% R.I.P.D. (2013) " Every movie coming out this year but "R.I.P.D." should pause for a big sigh of relief: The possibility of any of them being called the worst cinematic effort of 2013 has, as of today, just about disappeared." — New York Post
Posted Jul 18, 2013
1/4 83% Computer Chess (2013) " A punitively dull chunk of quirk that is about, and feels like, being stuck in a motel with a gaggle of programming nerds for a weekend." — New York Post
Posted Jul 18, 2013
1/4 42% Red 2 (2013) " How bad could the boneyard be compared to sitting through this execrable piece of non-entertainment? Better dead than "RED 2."" — New York Post
Posted Jul 18, 2013
0.5/4 81% Crystal Fairy (2013) " We already knew that jerks aren't necessarily interesting. Nor is watching footage of other people doing drugs." — New York Post
Posted Jul 11, 2013
2.5/4 94% Fruitvale Station (2013) " In the end, what is the meaning of the film?" — New York Post
Posted Jul 11, 2013
1/4 61% Byzantium (2013) " "Byzantium" dares to rework "Twilight" with twice the teen moping and Robert Pattinson replaced by a guy with the sexual magnetism of a sickly Ron Weasley." — New York Post
Posted Jun 28, 2013
2/4 40% The Secret Disco Revolution (2013) " "The Secret Disco Revolution" laughably fails to turn Barry White and Donna Summer into the Che Guevara and Emma Goldman of the dance floor." — New York Post
Posted Jun 28, 2013
2/4 47% Maniac (2013) " The film is exactly what it intends to be: the purest exploitational trash." — New York Post
Posted Jun 21, 2013
3/4 77% Somm (2013) " "Somm" does a fairly impressive job of making wine tasting somewhat cinematic despite its being essentially unfilmable, at least until taste-o-vision comes along." — New York Post
Posted Jun 21, 2013
2/4 67% World War Z (2013) " It's just a jumped-up midnight movie that thinks "stuff jumping out at you and making loud noises" equals horror and "perfect human being impervious to everything" equals hero." — New York Post
Posted Jun 18, 2013
3/4 83% Berberian Sound Studio (2013) " A clever, elliptical, slightly bizarre and altogether transfixing psychological thriller." — New York Post
Posted Jun 14, 2013
1/4 25% Vehicle 19 (2013) " The plot is brainless even for a Paul Walker movie. Get ready for "The Slow and the Spurious."" — New York Post
Posted Jun 14, 2013
3.5/4 59% The Bling Ring (2013) " Though on the surface "The Bling Ring" is slight of aim and repetitive of structure, it is actually a slam-dunk conservative critique of American culture ..." — New York Post
Posted Jun 13, 2013
3/4 84% This Is the End (2013) " There is stuff in "This Is the End" that had me laughing so hard, I sensed new body parts joining in to help out - my pancreas was heaving, my bile ducts ripped." — New York Post
Posted Jun 10, 2013
1/4 72% Wish You Were Here (2013) " A dull drama about domestic squabbling that hopes to be mistaken for a thriller." — New York Post
Posted Jun 7, 2013
1/4 17% As Cool As I Am (2013) " Oh no: Claire Danes as the mom? Already? What's next, Chelsea Clinton for president?" — New York Post
Posted Jun 7, 2013
3/4 86% Évocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie (2013) " A frank and worthy look at the trashy demagogue who ruled the airwaves in a spectacular, and spectacularly brief, two-year run." — New York Post
Posted Jun 7, 2013
1/4 35% The Internship (2013) " Director Shawn Levy's work has, as always, all the edge of a tub of margarine - he's the guy who did "Night at the Museum." And "The Internship" has the air of a promotional video for Google." — New York Post
