"If only it had some funny lines, a focused plot and an idea that stretched beyond the initial setup." -- Baltimore Sun

Drillbit Taylor (2008)26%

"Seeing itself as a Ferris Bueller's Day Off for the 21st century, Charlie Bartlett the film is instead a testimony to how low we as a culture can stoop." -- Baltimore Sun

Charlie Bartlett (2007)55%

"An overly gimmicky and fatally repetitive terrorist thriller that quickly wears out its welcome." -- Baltimore Sun

Vantage Point (2008)35%

"Even as a zombie film, it comes across not as something new, but as something warmed-over." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Feb 15, 2008
 
George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)60%
/
C
 
"There's enough kinetic energy in Jumper to light a thousand houses. Unfortunately, there's no one home in any of them." -- Baltimore Sun

"Undeniably energetic and viscerally satisfying, but emotionally hollow." -- Baltimore Sun

Step Up 2 the Streets (2008)25%

"Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins imagines slapstick farce as feel-good dramedy, which is to say, it's an unhappy (and largely unfunny) marriage of two movie types that don't really go together." -- Baltimore Sun

"Parker, who must have phoned in her performance during a weekend break from Desperate Housewives, is simply awful." -- Baltimore Sun

"Untraceable lambastes us for being amoral voyeurs as it panders to our baser instincts at the same time." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jan 25, 2008
 
Untraceable (2008)15%
/
C-
 
"Allen's latest, his 42nd effort as a director, is the work of an artist devoid of ideas and energy. Perfunctorily staged and lazily written, it comes to life in only the briefest of spurts, usually when the ever-reliable Tom Wilkinson is on-screen." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jan 18, 2008
 
Cassandra's Dream (2008)51%
/
C+
 
"The pleasures of this slight caper film are strictly small-screen, as three talented actresses walk through quaint roles before they hurry on to the next project." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jan 18, 2008
 
Mad Money (2008)21%

C
 
"First Sunday is a movie about forgiveness that asks its audience to forgive too much -- with regard to both its characters and its makers." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jan 11, 2008
 
First Sunday (2008)14%

"The Bucket List is 98 minutes of mawkish sentiment, a stream of greeting-card moments." -- Baltimore Sun

"Dan in Real Life wants desperately to be loved. It includes a few laughs...but with all its cloying, tone-deaf attempts at genuine emotional warmth, all it really deserves is to be avoided." -- Baltimore Sun

Dan in Real Life (2007)65%

"Such ham-fisted earnestness does no one any good, least of all those who believe there's a big difference between historical fact and emotional screed." -- Baltimore Sun

September Dawn (2007)13%

C
 
"A romantic comedy that does precious little with the considerable resources at its disposal." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jul 27, 2007
 
No Reservations (2007)39%
/
D+
 
"Films that preach tolerance and respect for diversity, which is what this one does ultimately, are fine and good, and here's hoping the message comes across. But here's betting the fat and the gay jokes hang around a lot longer." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jul 20, 2007
 
I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)13%
/
C
 
"The movie includes a few good one-liners, but that's really all it is -- a forum for putdowns and sassy dialogues." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jul 10, 2007
 
The Salon (2005)13%

C+
 
"28 Weeks Later doesn't match the impact of its predecessor." -- Baltimore Sun

"...a film that's an early favorite for worst comedy of the year." -- Baltimore Sun

"Whereas previous Ocean's films have delighted in crossing their audiences, Thirteen barely tries. And when the clever turns predictable ... well, it's no longer clever." -- Baltimore Sun
Posted Jun 9, 2007
 
Ocean's Thirteen (2007)70%

C
 
"Gracie is painfully earnest, which might be OK were it not also painfully trite, painfully cliched and painfully formulaic." -- Baltimore Sun

"Graeme Obree was a champion bicycler who, by all accounts, rarely took the easy way out. Too bad this movie version of his life doesn't follow suit." -- Baltimore Sun
