  1. What, a white woman can’t take an innocent drive through the ghetto without arousing suspicion? What’s this world coming to?

    If a movie like My Bloody Valentine plays like a dime-store slasher picture, then adding 3D to the proceedings will only make it look like a 3D dime-store slasher picture.
  2. So ham-handed and relentlessly overbaked that it is easy to see why audiences initially stayed away from it. Just when and how did anyone come to see this as a classic?
  3. The original “Elizabeth” was visually lush and quite engaging, but this is a sprawling mess.

    A touch above the usual adolescent male friendly films of Happy Madison's previous on-screen massacres (see "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" for example”) but it isn't quite as smart or funny as other recent comedies like "40 Year-Old Virgin" or "Wedding Crashers."

    It sadly really never lives up to the potential and excellence it's really capable of.
  4. The problem with A Man Apart”is that there is just too much badass going on.
  5. Very little in Reservation Road ultimately rings true, which makes the anguished theatrics on display that much more exasperating.
  6. It's charmingly bad and an excellent date film.
  7. There may be a lot going on here, but none of it sticks; there’s no momentum or a sense of purpose. In other words, Swift fails to achieve lift-off, over and over.
  8. The movie lives up to its “R” rating in the final scenes, but it’s too little too late.
  9. Bottom line, what I took away from this movie was – that drunk guy sure was funny.

    A pointless rehashing of a horrible event.

    The only thing wrong with Transformers: Rise of the Beast is that it’s bland and boring.
  10. Given the episodic nature of the film's organization, Jules's monotone voice-overs, and the over-arching theme of search for self, Fish Without a Bicycle "watches" like a TV show.
  11. The oh-so-convenient convergence of plot threads at the climax make the film feel that much more run-of-the-mill.
  12. The Wicker Man isn't all that bad a movie; it's visually striking and ambitious in some ways. It just fails to bring enough to the table to fully distance itself from the original.
  13. I can only recommend this film for die-hard Eli Roth fangirls or people who want to see what a bad film looks like. If that’s you, Borderlands is for you.
  14. It helps immensely that Hart and Cranston play off each other well; or at least when the script is not getting in their way.
  15. Prepare for a threadbare, hole-ridden plot with cardboard characters, whose ludicrous dialogue is matched by the stupidest twists in recent memory. After a feature like this, the only thing that’s on the line is Gibson’s career.

    We are here for the gore – which this film has plenty of. Too bad it doesn't have much else.

    In any biography/drama, the key is to make audiences believe this is the real person from history. Capone just never gets there. That could be Al Capone, but nothing in the film makes me believe it’s him, nor emotionally connect with him. Capone wastes a lot of good talent, and it’s a shame.

    Go see Western because the first 98% is sly, endearing, and clever fun. As for the ending, do what you did for Aliens III and/or IV: just pretend it never happened.
  16. There isn't much here any semi-regular viewer of "The X-Files" hasn't already seen a dozen times before.
  17. For my money, no movie comes close to capturing the high school experience like "The Substitute."
  18. A lot was left behind in this depthless account of a disaffected ghostwriter who wanted to affirm her artistic gift, freely and publicly. She actually did it with bravery and conviction, but this film doesn’t do her justice. Hence, my suggestion is: save your ticket money and read Colette’s biography instead.
  19. Left me feeling empty inside. There’s no warmth and character from the original Dr. Seuss book, and there’s no substance or soul in the story elements.
  20. All crass in its empty bluster and bogus uplift.

    As the narrative lugubriously sticks to the documented events, we are served nothing more than a filmed transcript.
  21. The Happytime Murders eventually ends up spinning its wheels, telling the same joke over-and-over.
