Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
0/5 78% Charlotte's Web (2006) " Charlotte herself has been turned from a small, grey spider into a creature with a furry, teddy bear face. The result is an odd blend of Wilfred Brimley, Grizzly Adams, and Fozzie Bear." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jan 13, 2007
0/5 5% Yu-Gi-Oh! - The Movie (Yûgiô: Gekijô-ban) (2004) " Yu-Gi-Oh translates from the Japanese into 'Intense migraine in elders.'" — www.kcactive.com
Posted Jul 25, 2005
0/5 52% The Notebook (2004) " ... one gets the sense that director Nick Cassevetes and writer Jan Sardi would spray the audience with teargas if they could." — www.kcactive.com
Posted Jul 25, 2005
0/5 11% Exorcist - The Beginning (2004) " One would think studios would shy away from this dead horse; I guess the power of crap compels them." — www.kcactive.com
Posted Jul 25, 2005
1/5 27% Dragon Wars (2007) " This is not a movie to watch for escapism. This is a movie to watch with a bunch of friends and heckle mercilessly." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Sep 14, 2007
1/5 54% Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) " In the first film, Depp had fun chewing on the scenery. In this one, the scenery swallows him up and eats him raw." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jul 11, 2006
1/5 73% V for Vendetta (2006) " With yet another bloated and self-important mythos under their belts, the hope of a quality screenplay penned from the Wachowski brothers continues to fade." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Mar 17, 2006
1/5 19% Firewall (2006) " When did Indiana Jones turn into the cranky old guy at the end of the street who would yell at you for playing in his yard?" — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Feb 9, 2006
1/5 73% Nanny McPhee (2006) " McPhee is a composite of Margaret Hamilton, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and the grunting Karl from Sling Blade." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jan 27, 2006
1/5 38% Flightplan (2005) " (Jody Foster) storms through the plane with the determination of General Macarthur and a battle cry of, 'Where's my daughter? Where's my daughter? Where's my daughter?'" — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Sep 26, 2005
1/5 34% Must Love Dogs (2005) " ...homosexual characters in romantic comedies serve the same role that Eunuchs did in the ancient Middle East:nonsexual good listeners who exist to assist hapless rich women." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jul 29, 2005
1/5 22% Van Helsing (2004) " Writer and director Stephen Sommers is less interested in developing the characters and more interested in smashing them into things." — www.kcactive.com
Posted Jul 25, 2005
1/5 56% The Polar Express (2004) " How many kids do you know who would find comfort in a homeless ghost who drinks his own sock juice?" — www.kcactive.com

Posted Jul 25, 2005
1/5 31% The Forgotten (2004) " Not since Star Trek V: The Final Frontier has there been such a stupid omnipotent force." — www.kcactive.com
Posted Jul 25, 2005
1/5 31% Around the World in 80 Days (2004) " It's ironic that this film is less about traveling and more about beating the crap out of people all over the world." — www.kcactive.com
Posted Jul 25, 2005
1/5 49% Alfie (2004) " ...what we have here is a good old-fashioned exploitation flick disguised as high art." — www.kcactive.com
Posted Jul 25, 2005
1/5 46% Bad News Bears (2005) " ...Bad News Bears pitifully attempts to draw laughter from its audience by parading cussing and sassy children in front of the screen like obscene little parrots." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jul 22, 2005
1/5 26% Fantastic Four (2005) " Poor Ben Grimm suffers the most tragic fate. He is transformed from the charismatic, brilliant actor Michael Chiklis into a giant prosthetic goofy suit that fools no one." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jul 7, 2005
1/5 9% White Noise (2005) " White Noise is a lifeless affair that strives to take our money while aggravating and annoying us, a niche already filled by the Rainforest Café." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jun 28, 2005
1/5 13% Hide and Seek (2005) " The 'surprise' ending in Hide and Seek is not only unreasonable, but also downright unoriginal." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jun 28, 2005
1/5 20% The Pacifier (2005) " Children under the age of 12 and teenagers who never set foot in a library might get some cheap thrills out of this refuse." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jun 28, 2005
1/5 59% Steamboy (2005) " ...techno-fetishism at it's worst." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jun 28, 2005
1/5 23% The Amityville Horror (2005) " The prime victims are children who are shot, threatened, tortured and killed without any hesitation or reason other than to provide quick thrills." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jun 28, 2005
1/5 16% xXx: State of the Union (2005) " The only similarity that Cube and Diesel share is that they both appear to have ditched their birth names and pulled their new ones out of a hat." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jun 28, 2005
2/5 34% Reno 911!: Miami (2007) " ..the plot stops parodying 'Cops' in favor of general lunacy. The "R" rating allows the humor to get a bit cruder, but gratuitous nudity and sexuality don't really offer anything new." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Mar 10, 2007
2/5 29% Smokin' Aces (2007) " Every criminal has to have a quirk. That guy's a cross-dresser. He's a master of disguise. They're Nazis. She's a lesbian... Ridiculous cretins like these will make you long for the thoughtful characterizations of Boss Hogg and Sheriff Roscoe." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Feb 10, 2007
2/5 69% Freedom Writers (2007) " The film may be inspired by a true story, but it's a mishmash of scenes we've seen before, and for a film about original teaching methods, the storyline is surprisingly derivative and predictable." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jan 19, 2007
2/5 69% Babel (2006) " The film takes its main characters, spreads them out all over the world, and subjects them to emotionally and physically tortuous situations. Think last year's Crash on a global scale." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jan 13, 2007
2/5 48% Open Season (2006) " Your child will probably go crazy for this imitative mash-up, but you'll wish you had spent your hard-earned money on a good children's book instead." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Sep 28, 2006
2/5 29% Silent Hill (2006) " Think the Cirque du Soleil performed by the cast from "Saved By the Bell" knee deep in diarrhea. It may be engrossing and even embarrassingly fun, but it's also just a big disgusting mess." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Apr 21, 2006
2/5 61% Find Me Guilty (2006) " I just hope this movie's creation wasn't due to any gambling debts or past nefarious dealings. I'd like to think Mr. Lumet is better than that." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Mar 29, 2006
2/5 9% When a Stranger Calls (2006) " When a Stranger Calls is basically a poorly written episode of "The Babysitter's Club" but with a body count." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Feb 6, 2006
2/5 —— House of Voices (2005) " ...unneeded cruelty, and gratuitous scenes exposes House of Voices as derivative of films like Suspiria and The Others, but not a film that deserves to join their ranks." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Oct 23, 2005
2/5 19% Doom (2005) " ...about 15 minutes of action, violence and thrills diluted in about an hour of watching large men roam small, pipe-filled corridors holding absurdly large weapons." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Oct 21, 2005
2/5 28% Elizabethtown (2005) " How sad that Cameron Crowe, the man behind Say Anything and Almost Famous should become so infatuated with whimsy." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Oct 14, 2005
2/5 61% Wimbledon (2004) " Do we really need to see another film where a gorgeous, talented and desired American woman is whisked away by a stammering insecure British man with an inner monologue?" — www.kcactive.com
Posted Jul 25, 2005
2/5 54% Troy (2004) " Troy condenses Homer's ten-year war into a couple of months." — www.kcactive.com
Posted Jul 25, 2005
2/5 68% The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (2004) " ...asks the audience to endure three times as much frenetic potty humor, repetitive jokes and screechy voice acting as they are used to. The result is exhausting. " — www.kcactive.com
Posted Jul 25, 2005
2/5 15% Sleepover (2004) " How many 14-year-old girls do you know who would set up a blind date with a grown-up over the Internet? (Yeah, I found this creepy too.)" — www.kcactive.com
Posted Jul 25, 2005
2/5 40% Ladder 49 (2004) " ...has about the same amount of depth as an article from 'Boy's Life.'" — www.kcactive.com
Posted Jul 25, 2005
2/5 68% Closer (2004) " ...directors like Peter Greenaway and Mike Leigh have examined sexual politics and cruelty with results that are significantly more profound." — www.kcactive.com
Posted Jul 25, 2005
2/5 26% Anacondas - The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004) " The character development is as thin as shed snakeskin." — www.kcactive.com
Posted Jul 25, 2005
2/5 78% A Very Long Engagement (2004) " ...light entertainment, but offers only a shallow insight into war." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jun 28, 2005
2/5 60% The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) " ...character interactions and relationships have been jettisoned in favor of wild gesticulations, frantic emoting and a heap of commotion." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jun 28, 2005
2/5 25% House of Wax (2005) " The film's storyline has more in common with Manos, The Hands of Fate than the original House of Wax." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jun 28, 2005
2/5 42% Kicking & Screaming (2005) " Iron Mike is phenomenal! Kicking and Screaming is not." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jun 28, 2005
2/5 59% Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) " If violence is truly the only way to resurrect matrimonial bliss then perhaps we should seriously consider a constitutional amendment banning heterosexual marriage." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Jun 28, 2005
3/5 21% Arthur and the Invisibles (Arthur and the Minimoys) (2007) " The Minimoys are teeny-weeny kind folk with a keen fashion sense and a wicked-cool lair. They're just like what the Borrowers would have been like if they had lived in the field behind the Urban Outfitters production factory." — eFilmCritic.com
Posted Feb 3, 2007
3/5 47% The Holiday (2006) " Because everyone is rich and in love, you can see the happy ending coming a mile away, but with a film like this, it's the journey that's important and not the destination." — eFilmCritic.com
