Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)

Jumping the Broom (2011)

Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family (2011)

"'Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family' may inspire some to think whether Perry should put Madea to rest. The characters presented are degrading to women and an embarrassment to Perry's followers."

Sucker Punch (2011)

"'Sucker Punch' is a film filled with emptiness and a hodgepodge of other films, it's like watching an unofficial sequel to 'Showgirls' with some 'Kill Bill' and 'Battle LA' thrown into the mix. Avoid at all costs."

Tron Legacy (2010)

Burlesque (2010)

"Christina Aguilera's film debut in 'Burlesque' is not an updated version of 'Showgirls.' In fact, with the big screen return of Cher, along with the dance choreography and singing by the two leads, the film is really an enjoyable guilty pleasure."
