" Contains dialogue so nasty and stupid, you'd swear (right along with the characters) that the booker for Jerry Springer wrote it (Zombie did)."
Posted Sep 4, 2007
 
Halloween (2007)26%
/
 
" A poor man's Lords of Dogtown."
Posted Aug 18, 2005
 
Supercross: The Movie (2005)5%
/
 
" A film that could use a little less conversation, a lot more action."
Posted May 13, 2005
 
Unleashed (2005)66%
/
 
" Ultimately undermined by the fact that the two rock bands Timoner chose to focus on -- the Brian Jonestown Massacre and the Dandy Warhols -- simply don't matter as much as she thinks they do."
Posted Oct 22, 2004
 
DIG! (2004)89%
/
 
" Plot and narrative? Minimal. Confrontations? Endless. Surprises? None."
Posted Sep 9, 2004
 
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)21%
/
 
" A bumbling adaptation."
Posted Mar 26, 2004
 
Never Die Alone (2004)25%

" Decidedly low-tech and not always particularly coherent or cohesive."
Posted Dec 12, 2003
 
Steve Earle - Just An American Boy (2003)54%
/
 
" Time travels, but it sure doesn't fly by in this debacle."
Posted Nov 26, 2003
 
Timeline (2003)10%
/
 
" Weakens, dilutes, disinfects and otherwise undermines the legacy of Tobe Hooper's 1974 original."
Posted Oct 17, 2003
 
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)34%
/
 
" A script was wanting for years, and still is."
Posted Aug 15, 2003
 
Freddy vs. Jason (2003)41%
/
 
" Most of the information has already appeared in one forum or another and, no matter how Broomfield dresses it up, it tends to speculation, conspiracy theories or, at best, circumstantial evidence."
Posted Oct 24, 2002
 
Biggie and Tupac (2002)80%
/
 
" The acting is so bad that apparently none of the performers ever got another job in the movies, and the costumes in Ben Hur seem less dated that those on display here."
Posted Sep 25, 2002
 
Switchblade Sisters (1975)53%
/
 
" The manic swirl of characters (most speaking in thick Northern accents that are sometimes muffled and incomprehensible) may leave you exhausted and confused."
Posted Aug 16, 2002
 
24 Hour Party People (2002)86%
/
 
" Looks like a bootleg concert video made by a gifted fan."
Posted Aug 16, 2002
 
Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars: The Motion Picture (1983)71%
/
1.5/5
 
" It all looks and plays like a $40 million version of a game you're more likely to enjoy on a computer."
Posted Mar 15, 2002
 
Resident Evil (2002)34%
/
 
" The plot of The Glimmer Man involves not only the Family Man but Our Evil Secret Government, the Russian Mafia and Rich Powerful Politicians -- the three stooges of action cinema in the '90s."
Posted Jan 22, 2002
 
The Glimmer Man (1996)9%
/
 
" Triple the length of its cable television inspiration, Tales From the Crypt Presents Bordello of Blood is triple the gore, triple the naked women, but not, alas, triple the fun."
Posted Jan 22, 2002
 
Tales from the Crypt - Bordello of Blood (1996)15%
/
 
" There are so many car crashes in Maximum Risk that Van Damme ends up playing second fiddle to an ever-expanding salvage operation."
Posted Jan 22, 2002
 
Maximum Risk (1996)26%
/
 
" While the frequent clashes are fairly well drawn, the simple walking movements lack grace and seem reduced to cheap cartooning rather than animation."
Posted Jan 16, 2002
 
Fist of the North Star - Animated Feature (1986)20%
/
 
" This is just another miss along the lines of Creepshow and Twilight Zone: The Movie."
Posted Nov 17, 2001
 
Tales From the Darkside: The Movie (1990)38%
/
 
" For those who saw the first two Massacres, this will seem pretty much deja-boo!"
Posted Nov 16, 2001
 
Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 (1989)21%
/
2.5/5
 
" Too much of Bones feels transplanted from genre staples like Hellraiser."
Posted Oct 25, 2001
 
Bones (2001)22%
/
1/5
 
" A two-minute character-based skit ... stretched to a mind-boggling 82 minutes."
Posted Jun 29, 2001
 
Pootie Tang (2001)27%
/
 
" While it's better than its predecessor, it's still not quite up to its inspiration."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - Dream Warriors (1987)71%
/
 
" Even Beavis and Butt-head get to call in their critique. Naturally, they think the Lone Rangers suck."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Airheads (1994)23%
/
 
" Madsen is a much better actress than is usually found in such a role. However, if you don't like splashes of blood or bees swarming out of bodies, you may want to think twice about this one."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Candyman (1992)74%
/
 
" Class of 1999 gets a D for dumb, dull and derivative."

" Having established that he can't rap or dance, Vanilla Ice now adds acting to his resume -- call it the tri-imperfecta of pop."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Cool As Ice (1991)8%
/
 
" Chevy Chase is lucky Cops and Robbersons isn't a sitcom. If it were, it would be canceled as pronto as his talk show was."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Cops & Robbersons (1994)17%
/
 
" Larry Fishburne is clearly a star of the future, but Deep Cover won't be the vehicle."

Deep Cover (1992)84%

" Folks staggering out of Dream a Little Dream may well wonder what the heck they just saw."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Dream a Little Dream (1989)0%
/
 
" Among the passengers is a bright girl who's having visions of a drowning boy, her smarmy guardian, her concerned teacher, a boyfriend whose soon-to-be-late father is the ship's captain, and assorted high school stereotypes."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Friday the 13th - Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)0%
/
 
" H4 is very much the cheap knockoff of its prototype, but not half as visceral."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)18%
/
 
" A prime example of the principle of diminishing reruns."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)10%
/
 
" Unfortunately, while director Joe Chapelle and writer Daniel Farrands took advantage of a clearance sale at the Horror Cliche Emporium, they forgot to stop in at Plots R Us."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers (1996)4%
/
 
" It's a dark, frequently disturbing and occasionally terrifying film that suggests Barker's vision hasn't quite made the conversion from paper to celluloid."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Hellraiser (1987)61%
/
 
" Eventually falls apart because of its erratic plot and gaps in logic."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
In the Mouth of Madness (1995)48%
/
 
" The filmmakers have made a big deal of a soundtrack that features 10 collaborations between rappers and rockers (the theme is performed by De La Soul and Teenage Fan Club), but their casting consciousness is less adventurous."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Judgment Night (1993)27%
/
 
" The slow-paced King of the Hill is a feel-good fable in which it's difficult to work up any worry over a boy with clearly unsinkable spirits."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
King of the Hill (1993)96%
/
 
" Leviathan is intermittently interesting, but it's a bad sign that the movie starts losing its punch when the monster shows up."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Leviathan (1989)11%
/
 
" Lightning Jack feels like a film you might stumble across late at night on the USA Network."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Lightning Jack (1994)7%
/
 
" Likely to satisfy only the core audience already hooked on video and arcade games, and even that's not a sure thing."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Mortal Kombat (1995)24%
/
 
" If only the plot were a little less obvious, the confrontations a little less cliched."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Only the Strong (1993)0%
/
 
" This is Old Jack City, a place where better actors and directors have taken us frequently in the last year. This particular trip seems unnecessary."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Out for Justice (1991)21%
/
 
" Typically hollow and patchy, the script is low par for the course, the acting close behind."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Pumpkinhead (1988)59%
/
2/4
 
" Brandon Lee may want to follow in his father's kick-steps, but unlike martial arts legend Bruce Lee, he's far too pretty for the job."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Rapid Fire (1992)29%
/
 
" Beware of its stink."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Red Scorpion (1989)11%
/
 
" As for the conflict, it's hardly riveting and often it's downright silly. The sets and effects betray their downsized budget. And the Japanese bashing is less artful than in Rising Sun, though just as obnoxious."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Robocop 3 (1993)5%
/
 
" Schatzberg's major problems are lethargic pacing and a strained plot."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Street Smart (1987)67%
/
 
" There's still a lot of filler in this chiller."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Tales from the Crypt - Demon Knight (1995)35%
