0/4 40% Running Scared (2006) " Running Scared will probably play best in prisons, where lowlifes, applauding the heroic amounts of foul language and blood, will be heartened to know that society has finally stooped to their level." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Feb 24, 2006
.5/5 —— Orgies and the Meaning of Life (2009) " Mixing theology, philosophy and romance into lumpy, tasteless, low-cost gruel, Gottfred's story...hasn't the intellectual or cinematic resources to remotely tackle whatever the hell it's attempting." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Sep 4, 2009
.5/5 —— That Game of Chess (2009) " Sometimes a movie is so amateurish, you don't know whether to hate it or feel sorry for it. That Game of Chess, a Bollywood crossover co-written by and starring Viresh Sinha, falls into the latter category." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 8, 2009
.5/5 11% The Unborn (2009) " If the films released during the traditional January dumping ground are going to be this bad, we should employ the nation's best scientists to rearrange Earth's orbit so the year begins in February." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jan 8, 2009
.5/5 41% The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things (2004) " The opposite of accomplished filmmaking." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Dec 1, 2004
1/5 0% The Undefeated (2011) " The Undefeated says less about Sarah Palin than about the political and cultural environment that made her big screen beatification possible." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jul 18, 2011
1/5 14% Cat Run (2011) " A loud, ugly and terrible movie that doesn't skillfully juggle its various elements; it throws them violently at your face and calls it edge." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 4, 2011
1/5 42% Burzynski (2010) " Burzynski may have credibility in the eyes of some, but the movie about him has no credibility, so no one will be receptive to its message. " — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jun 11, 2010
1/5 22% Raven (2012) " Why even include a modern day human vs. undead smackdown, when all you can afford are about ten extras jumping around an empty warehouse?" — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Mar 24, 2010
1/5 13% The Bounty Hunter (2010) " Even by the low standards of today's romantic comedy, this is a black mark on everyone's resume." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Mar 19, 2010
1/5 14% The Spirit (2008) " A lurching mess. The film features a terrible script devoid of characters worth investing in or a story worth caring about." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Dec 23, 2008
1/5 56% Stealing America: Vote by Vote (2008) " As much as they champion the notion that any election chicanery is bad for both parties, this is strictly another propaganda-laced lashing out at corporations and the Republicans who use them to steal elections." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 1, 2008
1/5 25% Jack and Jill vs. the World (2008) " Considering the talent assembled, the only audience draw here is the prospect of getting out of the rain." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 11, 2008
1/5 8% Dirty Deeds (2005) " The film's biggest (and, truthfully, only) laugh comes from seeing ex-major leaguer Todd Zeile and current steroidal slugger Jason Giambi credited as executive producers." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 26, 2005
1/5 13% The Dukes of Hazzard (2005) " Flatter than a two-lane blacktop, the movie is awfully unfunny, which it compensates for by being awfully loud." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 5, 2005
1/5 14% The Honeymooners (2005) " Since The Honeymooners is not a respectful tribute to the original, nor does it stand on its own, a beloved piece of American entertainment has officially been besmirched." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jun 10, 2005
1/5 57% Irreversible (2002) " While Noe undoubtedly revels in his audience's revulsion, the fact is Irreversible is a painfully thin, uninvolving story." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jun 5, 2002
16% Untraceable (2008) " While it would be unfair to say there aren't moments of reasonable suspense, playing off our natural aversion to people being tortured does not constitute good filmmaking." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Feb 11, 2008
37% Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007) " This wooden fable about the importance of believing in yourself is merely a collection of cutesy details that never coalesces into a strong narrative." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Nov 16, 2007
21% Fred Claus (2007) " If Vaughn is trying to test the family-film waters without abandoning his core audience, it doesn't work here." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Nov 9, 2007
0% Waltzing Anna (2006) " Cowriters Bollinger and Capelli may have sincere intentions, but they're too immature and unpolished to pull off what they're attempting." — Los Angeles CityBeat
Posted Dec 6, 2006
66% The Bridge (2006) " Steel's film is powerful and upsetting, but as pointless as suicide itself." — Los Angeles CityBeat
Posted Nov 8, 2006
23% RV (2006) " Munros survive dirt-encrusted pratfalls and exploding stink bombs to become the world's happiest family, we realize that this desperate movie can't even convince itself it's funny." — Los Angeles CityBeat
Posted May 3, 2006
75% Look Both Ways (2006) " The movie ultimately feels innocuous, hitting too few emotionally provocative notes." — Los Angeles CityBeat
Posted May 2, 2006
55% Glory Road (2006) " Disney probably issues an instruction manual to directors assigned one of its inspirational sports movies." — Los Angeles CityBeat
Posted Jan 17, 2006
20% Rumor Has It (2005) " Even as a holiday throwaway, this James L. Brooks-style blend of comedy and character is lumpy and artificial, failing to extract enough truth from its sordid situations." — Los Angeles CityBeat
Posted Jan 3, 2006
41% Where the Truth Lies (2005) " A movie as stiff as the dead body in the bathtub." — Los Angeles CityBeat
Posted Oct 13, 2005
2 27% Bridget Jones - The Edge of Reason (2004) " Director Beeban Kidron and her cadre of writers have almost completely betrayed the character and everything that made her real and resonant." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Nov 14, 2004
1.5/5 25% Autoerotic (2011) " If only (Swanberg) explored his characters as much as his characters explore themselves." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jul 25, 2011
1.5/5 33% Meskada (2010) " Completely inauthentic at almost every level." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Dec 5, 2010
1.5/5 38% Eichmann (2010) " Feels the burden of history so heavily that it's effectively smothered by it." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 29, 2010
1.5/5 12% Jonah Hex (2010) " Jonah Hex is not a good movie, but it's a great cautionary tale about what happens when a film loses its way." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jun 18, 2010
1.5/5 —— Drool (2009) " An unpersuasive, amateurishly told story of an abused wife escaping her old (straight) life and embarking on a new (lesbian) life." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jan 22, 2010
1.5/5 26% Women in Trouble (2009) " The film has already reduced itself to an empty exercise in campy, color-bathed titillation, as a gaggle of women are defined by their sexual drives and abilities without comment from the filmmaker." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Nov 13, 2009
1.5/5 7% Whiteout (2009) " One must assume that Rucka's original [graphic novel] is better than this, but only because most things are." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Sep 10, 2009
1.5/5 0% Homecoming (2009) " A silly, low-rent mash-up of Misery and Fatal Attraction, featuring neither the clever psychology of the former nor the layers of emasculation and consequence of the latter." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jul 17, 2009
1.5/5 29% Irene in Time (2009) " A near-insufferable, low-budget, pity party that combines the occasional poignant insight with slack storytelling." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jun 22, 2009
1.5/5 63% Music and Lyrics (2007) " An underwhelming confection so conceptually lazy it's a miracle the film has enough strength to make it through the projector." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Feb 16, 2007
1.5/5 27% America: Freedom To Fascism (2006) " A hurricane of accusations and grievances, supported by repetitive, droning sound bites." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jul 28, 2006
1.5/5 30% Waiting (2005) " Scattershot and under the mistaken assumption that vulgarity is its own reward, Waiting isn't about waiting tables. It's about a group of unlikable and obnoxious jerks who have found one roof under which they can be obnoxious and unlikable." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 7, 2005
1.5/5 6% A Sound of Thunder (2005) " The concept was given more entertaining treatment on various episodes of Star Trek and a Halloween episode of The Simpsons." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Sep 8, 2005
1.5/5 10% Taxi (2004) " Seems less like a releasable movie and more like a dress rehearsal for a releasable movie, or the roadshow production of a dress rehearsal for a releasable movie." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 18, 2004
1.5/5 0% Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002) " Never has sound and fury signified so little." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Sep 22, 2002
1.5/5 6% The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002) " Aspires to the cracked lunacy of The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, but thanks to an astonishingly witless script ends up more like The Adventures of Ford Fairlane." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 18, 2002
2/5 29% Elektra Luxx (2011) " Gugino and the rest of the mostly female cast clearly savor the chance to strip and swear in a free-play environment, which is a nice way of saying the film is hopelessly flabby and lacks coherence." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Mar 11, 2011
2/5 29% Take Me Home Tonight (2011) " It's only sporadically amusing and it's certainly not original, unless the definition of original has been broadened to include copies of things that were original twenty-five years ago." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Mar 3, 2011
2/5 54% Brotherhood (2011) " Brotherhood moves fast, but it can't outrun its superficiality." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Feb 20, 2011
2/5 39% The Other Woman (2011) " What happens when a film director falls for a novel crammed with Incredible Moments of Heartbreaking Emotion and turns it into a movie crammed with Incredible Moments of Heartbreaking Emotion" — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Feb 3, 2011
2/5 53% The Mechanic (2011) " A mechanic seems like a thinking man's occupation. The Mechanic, though, barely has a thought in its head." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jan 26, 2011
2/5 32% How Do You Know (2010) " Witherspoon's charm...has been replaced with tentativeness, confusion and the exaggerated facial expressions of a sitcom comedienne. " — Boxoffice Magazine
