Posted Jan 8, 2009
 
Bride Wars (2009)12%

2.5/5
 
" Its small moments of insight don't make up for the overall lack of drama or narrative, but they will evoke all the proper emotions out of an audience with tissues at the ready." -- CinemaBlend.com

Seven Pounds (2008)28%

The Tale of Despereaux (2008)55%
/
1.5/5
 
" The original 1951 film carried a timely anti-nuclear message, but this film wouldn't dare offend anyone by even mentioning the phrase "global warming."" -- CinemaBlend.com

" True to its bland title, it isn't too Puerto Rican for a wide audience, isn't too racy for a family audience, and hell, isn't even too Christian for an audience not celebrating Christmas." -- CinemaBlend.com
Posted Dec 8, 2008
 
Nothing Like the Holidays (2008)49%

Australia (2008)54%

2.5/5
 
" As a romance, Twilight is just subpar-- a more celibate, moodier take on Dawson's Creek or 90210. As a vampire story, it's a disaster." -- CinemaBlend.com

Twilight (2008)50%
