Cowboys & Aliens (2011) |
It's fun to think about what Cowboys & Aliens might have been if any creativity had crept past the title page. - Slate

Scream 4 (2011) |
Craven guides us expertly down a series of blind, bloody alleys, a journey that's more pleasurable than frustrating. On account of his steady hand, the last act is as good as could be expected: skillfully conceived and entertaining in its preposterousness - Slate

The Warrior's Way (2010) |
The Warrior's Way never achieves awesomeness, mostly because it never fully embraces its elementary-school playground aesthetic. - Slate

Megamind (2010) |
Mostly, the jokes and the recurrent attempts to tweak the superhero genre serve as a reminder that somebody else has already done it better. - Slate

The Other Guys (2010) |
There's just a bit too much formula and not quite enough insane-asylum lunacy. - Slate

The Blind Side (2009) |
The problem with a story that's almost too good to be true is that someone in Hollywood will try to make it better. - Slate

More Than a Game (2008) |
While More Than a Game succeeds in depicting the friends' deep mutual affection, the edges of the LeBron James story are too often smoothed to a dull, inspirational point. - Slate

Zombieland (2009) |
Zombieland, with its belching, goo-spewing undead, looks at the scenery of a video game through a fanboy's eyes. - Slate

Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008) |
Beverly Hills Chihuahua isn't terrible. OK, it's kind of terrible, but it's a talking-dog movie, and anyone who goes to a talking-dog movie without being prepared to step in poop deserves to ruin his shoes. - Slate

Eagle Eye (2008) |
Eagle Eye feels less like a vehicle for an action hero than the latest in a series of national focus groups to determine LaBeouf's commercial viability. - Slate

Meet the Spartans (2008) |
This was the worst movie I've ever seen, so bad that I hesitate to label it a 'movie' and thus reflect shame upon the entire medium of film. - Slate

Art School Confidential (2006) |
The movie accomplishes the simple-enough task of demonstrating that art school types are pretentious and self-centered. What it fails to reveal is why anyone should care. - Slate

Slither (2006) |
There's something winning about this grab bag of orally fixated invertebrates and mucus-covered Noids. - Slate
