	" *Only slightly less clumsy overall than Against the Ropes, but at least it plays to co-star Meg Ryan�s ability to suggest volumes of repressed emotion." -- FilmStew.com* Posted Apr 24, 2007	In the Land of Women (2007)	43%
	" *Roger Waters' song is ultimately the work of a sell-out desperately trying to sound like a profound hippie prophet. As it happens, so is The Last Mimzy." -- FilmStew.com* Posted Mar 26, 2007	The Last Mimzy (2007)	53%
	" The titular novel is written by an anonymous scribe who goes by the moniker Topsy Kretts (Get it? Like �Top Secrets�? Yeah, I didn�t laugh either.)" -- FilmStew.com Posted Feb 23, 2007	The Number 23 (2007)	8%

	" He likes Social Distortion, she likes Alanis Morrissette. And quite frankly, either �Ball and Chain� or �Isn�t it Ironic� are both better takes on the modern relationship." -- FilmStew.com Posted Jun 1, 2006	The Break-Up (2006)	34%

	" A paint-by-numbers thriller so derivative that you can�t help but think about how much you�d rather be watching the numerous movies it apes." -- FilmStew.com Posted Apr 24, 2006	The Sentinel (2006)	34%
	" *Beyond the About a Cad* subplot featuring Hugh Grant, this one is about as entertaining as your typical post-Weekend Update skit on SNL.*" -- FilmStew.com* Posted Apr 21, 2006	American Dreamz (2006)	41%
	" Finding similarity in a child overcoming a handicap and a former laborer trying to get his groove back is a notion far more insane than choosing to swim the English Channel." -- FilmStew.com Posted Apr 10, 2006	On A Clear Day (2006)	67%

	" *Once Potter* ditches scenes that feel taken from Beverly Hills 90210 meets Scooby-Doo, I will approach the series with more than just guarded optimism.*" -- FilmStew.com* Posted Nov 17, 2005	Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)	89%

	" *Greenberg comes off as dull, which is ironic considering he excelled on Unscripted* as a struggling actor who lands a big role opposite Meryl Streep and Uma Thurman.*" -- FilmStew.com* Posted Oct 27, 2005	Prime (2005)	49%

	" Director Ian Softley seems shamelessly more interested in getting Kate Hudson into gratuitous shower scenes than into the nuances of her character." -- FilmStew.com Posted Aug 12, 2005	The Skeleton Key (2005)	38%
	" With a hideously fake tan and an eerie smile, Simpson recites her lines with a chipper hollowness that makes it seem like she has just barely memorized them." -- FilmStew.com Posted Aug 5, 2005	The Dukes of Hazzard (2005)	14%
	" I couldn�t help but think of the episode of The Simpsons where the Itchy & Scratchy canine sidekick so self-consciously �in-your-face� comes off as tame instead." -- FilmStew.com Posted Jun 3, 2005	Lords of Dogtown (2005)	55%
