  1. Stolen Summer
    Say a little prayer and save your money.
  2. Snow Dogs
    Lame children's entertainment.
  3. Doom
    Even The Rock, who can usually be counted on to enliven any scenario, seems bored by the laughably feeble script.
  4. State Property 2
    Given that its predecessor hit bottom in the glorification of thug thrills, State Property 2 had nowhere to go but up. Yet, it doesn't.
  5. The Whole Ten Yards
    The funny thing about this unfunny movie is that the cast is brimming with actors who are usually quite engaging. The Whole Ten Yards must be very potent chloroform, indeed, to make Willis, Perry, Peet and Pollak such zombies.
  6. Cursed
    It's hard to tell who is more Cursed - the pretty young people who turn into werewolves on screen or the people who buy tickets for this slow, witless, predictable horror flick.
  7. Sweet November
    A hellacious stew of romance and tragedy that gives the words "screwball" and "pathos" a bad name.
  8. Seeing Other People
    Attempts a coolness quotient it can't pull off.
  9. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
    It wastes no time getting to the punching, kicking, stomping and zapping that passes for a cinematic event. [22Nov1997 Pg. 35]

  10. Suspect Zero
    Preposterous, physically hideous paranormal thriller.
  11. Grandma's Boy
    There's no drug potent enough to make Grandma's Boy worth 87 minutes of your life.
  12. Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj
    If you liked "Van Wilder," which starred Ryan Reynolds and Tara Reid, be warned: The only person returning from the cast is the boring Indian kid Taj Mahal Badalandabad (Kal Penn).
  13. The War on the War on Drugs
    Seemingly made while writer-director-star Cevin Soling was heavily under the influence, this generally witless ode to illegal substances is apparently meant to be viewed that way, as well.
  14. The Cat in the Hat
    Everything to treasure about that magical, slightly malevolent feline of childhood verse is obliterated in the coarse, charmless Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat.
  15. Good Burger
    If you like your burger well-done, you're in for a disappointment.
  16. Serving Sara
    Serving Sara is D.O.A., with nary a laugh to be found.
  17. Madison
    There isn't a scene, an action or a character that rings true, yet the narrative summary of the events that inspired it is a matter of record.
  18. Ellie Parker
    Shot on digital video, made on the run whenever Watts was available between gigs, the movie is a pointless, tedious eyesore.
  19. The Fast and the Furious
    Unless you live and breathe exhaust fumes, there isn't much to sustain a viewer through a lame story and dialogue so pathetic.
  20. Eye for an Eye
    Directed by John Schlesinger, Eye for an Eye is a repellent, cynical piece of work a movie that exploits violence while pretending to deplore it. [12 Jan 1996, p.33]

  21. Mindhunters
    In 1939, when "Ten Little Indians" was published, Agatha Christie mysteries were the crème de la pop literature. Her fans depended on logic in her stories, and they got it. Mindhunters would have insulted their intelligence, and it should insult yours.
  22. A Man Apart
    The film would be totally unwatchable without the very real charisma of Diesel.
  23. The Sweetest Thing
    This vulgar, equal-opportunity chick flick aims pretty low.
    • New York Daily News
  24. Some Body
    The gimmick is that the script is based on the real-life experiences of actress Stephanie Bennett, who plays Samantha.
  25. Waiting...
    This warmed-over slop feels as if it's been congealing for twice that long.
  26. Film Geek
    You'd be better off spending an evening with the collected works of Rob Schneider.
  27. Dahmer
    So lacking in insight and gravity that it makes Dahmer seem like a pesky, pasty-faced loser who just wasn't popular enough.
    • New York Daily News
  28. Open My Heart
    Turns out, subtitles don't make soft-core any classier.
  29. The Invisible
    What might work as a narrative device in a novel - the spirit guiding readers through Nick's revelations - is just plain ridiculous in a movie.
  30. Double Take
    This dismally strained comedy defies laughs and doesn't contain an ounce of internal logic.
