  1. A failure on virtually every level, Peppermint is a slapdash, half-hearted affront to anyone unfortunate enough to get caught in its crosshairs.
  2. None of it is remotely frightening or original, the admittedly good-looking film adding nothing new to this unfortunate horror subgenre.
  3. Provocative and poignant.
  4. Brian Presley wrote, directed, produced, and stars in The Great Alaskan Race, and his reverence for the dire situation and heroics of the mushers are evident throughout. However, passion alone does not make a good movie.

    Ultimately, Hurry Up Tomorrow is an example of style over substance. Its visuals try to shock and awe while leaving its narrative a confusing mess.
  5. The camerawork is a smidge too shaky and the lighting/color design too dark for me to relish the Predator-on-Alien butt-kicking.
  6. While How High could have been a fun comedy college students could watch over and over again, it instead plays like a bad USA movie of the week. The jokes aren't funny, the characters aren't fully developed and poor editing only makes a humorless story confusing.
  7. Doesn't even reach the campy, trashy highs (or should I say "lows"?) of "The Crush."
  8. It will end up frustrating fans of both movie franchises enough to make them wish someone more competent was in charge.
  9. The result is a great-looking bore.

    The fault here lies in the film’s dead rhythm, which never lights the sparks necessary for an action film. The plot and action progress like an eroding lakeshore, but the energy and excitement are washed away in every scene.
  10. The Quiet is best for cheap laughs by jaded moviegoers with absolutely nothing better to do with their time.
  11. Fool's Gold could easily have been released in 1977, and there's a sort of laid-back, timeless, Gerald Ford feel to the movie: the resolution is never in doubt, the villains are comedic rather than menacing, and no one involved seems to care one way or the other that their names are attached to this indifferent mess.

    The kind of film that's too romantic for younger viewers and too redundant for young teens. For both sets, the laughs come infrequent (if at all), no thanks to Lohan giving another sub par performance.
  12. Incredibly dull.
  13. The Postman isn't as atrocious as the inane trailers and media hype have indicated, but like "Waterworld" a lot of the prerelease scrutiny is well warranted.
  14. Laughter erupts during scenes and certain close-ups that were designed to induce screams.
  15. Sometimes whimsical, at others quaint, flirting with darkness but brimming with childlike naivety, the plot provides a hell of a tonal whiplash, never finding its rhythm.

    There are many flaws in Animal Farm, but its message is what I’m recommending the film for. Look, it will make great dinner conversation with your toddlers.

    If you’re looking for proof of an afterlife, you will be disappointed, but as the medical experts stress in the film, there is at least evidence of one. You can be rigid in your beliefs throughout the entire film, or you can have an open mind. Either way, what happens after After Death is you will have been entertained.
  16. Is this what Sean Penn has come to in his 40s? He hasn't appeared this retarded since he was married to Madonna.

    Overall, Afraid delivers an unsettling ride with standout performances.
  17. Putting it in the kindest possible terms, the movie could be passed off as an exercise in style. Because of this, it does manage to be watchable.
  18. I'm going to beat my head into a wall until I relieve myself of the memory of this film that was, well, retarded.
  19. If the directors scaled back on the needlessly-complex tale and tightened the reigns, and if screenwriter Michael Arkof sharpened his dialogue (“I’m a deputy, not a vigilante!” Norm yells shrilly, before absconding to his trailer), they may have had something truly special here.

    My only real issue is the two leads. They’re crazy and hold nothing back. They are revolting and lovable, but there’s not much contrast between the two or real depth to their characters other than being lazy reprobates.
  20. Like a head on collision between some nice performances and a really stupid plot.
  21. A small, tacky non-comedy.
  22. Clumsy and meandering, Imprisoned seems unsure of whether it’s a story of personal revenge, an outcry against a corrupt regime, or a study of the Puerto Rican justice system.

    The film sets a quirky tone and sustains it until a very bizarre and contrived ending.
