The Grey (2012) |
A solid piece of escapist fare, pure and simple. - cinemaobsession.com

One for the Money (2012) |
We're meant to laugh at the fact that cute little Stephanie bumbles her way to getting one informant killed and another savagely beaten and thrown from a moving vehicle. Oh Stephanie, you're a riot! - cinemaobsession.com

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011) |
Easily the weakest entry in the series, it's the fault not just of a director who seems to find difficulty connecting to the material, but of a cast that seems to be looking forward to the close of the franchise a whole lot more than fans are. - cinemaobsession.com

Cowboys & Aliens (2011) |
Craig channels Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name, adding a dose of modern edginess and a dab of Steve McQueen cool. - cinemaobsession.com

Atlas Shrugged: Part 1 (2011) |
The shame of "Atlas Shrugged: Part I," irrespective of politics and prose, is that a work so long-discussed has been so blatantly bastardized in the name of a quick buck. - cinemaobsession.com

The Mechanic (2011) |
'The Mechanic' is the prototypical early year action movie-nothing more and nothing less. Statham, who again plays an infallible, lethal bad-ass, seems to have carved his niche as the current go-to guy for B-movie action flicks. - cinemaobsession.com

The Winning Season (2009) |
"The Winning Season" teeters hither and thither on its tonal seesaw, never quite sure where its going and often forgetful of where it's been. - cinemaobsession.com

The A-Team (2010) |
It's too bad that after all these years of revisions and revamps they never really got it. This plan might come together to please the execs at Fox, but Hannibal would be ashamed. - cinemaobsession.com

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) |
2010's Nightmare isn't just flawed, but without any merit whatsoever, amongst the worst of Platinum Dunes' cinematic abortions and as bad, if not worse, than Freddy's Revenge and Freddy's Dead. - cinemaobsession.com

Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) |
Like the comedies of the decade it returns to, Hot Tub is a balls-to-the-wall Hard-R comedy complete with tasteless humor, nudity and foul language. And thank God. It's about time we put those p***ified, lame PG-13 teen comedies to bed once and for all. - cinemaobsession.com

Alice in Wonderland (2010) |

The Crazies (2010) |

House (1977) |

The Wolfman (2010) |
Wolfman is more a slasher flick than a monster movie. He moves like a locomotive and kills like Jason Voorhees, slashing throats, de-limbing, beheading and gutting with repulsive efficiency. - cinemaobsession.com

Crazy Heart (2009) |

The Ugly Truth (2009) |
As usual, characters end up in an escalating series of preposterous events and zany hijinks that, while being occasionally amusing, aren't much different from watching your average humdrum situational TV comedy. - cinemaobsession.com

Land of the Lost (2009) |
Why remake a property when the demographic you're aiming at would have almost no familiarity with the original? Wouldn't it be enough to just hire someone to write a movie with Will Ferrell and dinosaurs and be done with it? - LRM
