"While it’s nice to drop in on Scully and Mulder again, moviegoers new to the franchise might have trouble drumming up empathy for this odd couple."

"Jumper is a special effect in search of a movie."

"And as far as sermons go, it’s a good one. You just wish the director had found someone else to deliver it."

1/4
 
"Hitman is another cynical attempt to make some cash off the gaming crowd, but gamers aren’t stupid. This is a film that’s made for someone who finds word balloons in comic books too complicated."

"Alert readers spotting similarities to Willy Wonka should now reward themselves with a handful of Everlasting Gobstoppers."

"The Simpsons Movie was expected to raise the bar for animated film -- especially 2-D animation. Unfortunately, it’s just another example of what could have been."

"When you’re more intrigued by the appearance of Richard Chamberlain than the film’s final courtroom denouement, you know this union of movie and moviegoer was doomed from the start."

1/4
 
"[Director Nancy Meyers] hits all the notes of the chick-flick formula -- heartbreak, ice cream, Aretha Franklin -- but she never creates a melody."
Posted Dec 8, 2006
 
The Holiday (2006)47%

2/4
 
"Talladega is full of fun moments and funny performances that are more engaging as bits than as a cohesive narrative."
Posted Aug 4, 2006
 
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)72%
/
2/4
 
"Dupree sustains its groove for the most part, and in this summer of bloated spectaculars, it feels tight. It may be silly, but it’s a pleasant enough diversion."

You, Me and Dupree (2006)22%

"While the situations are real and the dialogue is authentic, "The Break-Up" is mundane and trite."

"More than a novelty and it's occasionally mesmerizing, but without the affectation of dialogue, it hardly rises above after-school special."

2/4
 
"Parents forced by unruly ankle-biters to spend an afternoon at the multiplex could do worse than Ice Age: The Meltdown (Valiant, anyone?). But if kids could be persuaded to wait a few months for the DVD, it wouldn’t be the end of the world."

Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)56%

"She’s the Man, based on the Bard’s changing-room farce Twelfth Night, is a decent little piffle well-suited for boy-crazy fifth-graders."

"Good for Schneider that he was able to bilk a major Hollywood studio out of an estimated $20 million to make this reeking bucket of sewage. Bad for anyone who has the misfortune of seeing it."

"A human rubber band, a transparent woman, a guy on fire, a walking rock pile, and a guy named Doom seem perfectly plausible in the funny books.On the big screen, not so much."
Posted Jul 8, 2005
 
Fantastic Four (2005)26%
/
1/4
 
"Instead of smart commentary on the state of entertainment, we're given a mundane, risk-averse romantic comedy."

"Never rises above the level of a Friday night network sitcom."

Honeymooners (2005)14%

"Robots is most like Polar Express. It may represent a new zenith for computer animation, but the uninspired story drags the film into obsolescence."

Robots (2005)63%

"A shell game without a pea."

Ocean's Twelve (2004)55%

1.5/4
 
"A two-hour bludgeoning that smacks more of grave-robbing than resurrection."
Posted May 7, 2004
 
Van Helsing (2004)22%
/
1/4
 
"At a too-short 86 minutes, the remake sacrifices exposition and coherence in the name of action. But when the action is lame, what's the freaking point?"
Posted Apr 2, 2004
 
Walking Tall (2004)24%
/
 
"Anyone who has consumed more than a handful of detective stories will get the 'whodunit' early on and be stranded with a protagonist who is lagging behind in a visually stale environment."
