"Saw II -- better-acted than its predecessor, which isn't saying much -- is so gratuitously, sadistically violent, and to such little end, that it finally falls over dead on the far side of obscene." -- Newsday

"Simply relentless in both its butchery and its stupidity. To say nothing of its lack of restraint." -- Newsday

"If Pryor, whose influence is so obvious here, was the big wheel, Griffin is something stuck between the treads." -- Newsday

"What's apparent about Irreversible is that, at some point, the message about and depiction of violence becomes violence itself." -- Newsday

"It's a car wreck, a sideshow. You simply have to watch, there are so many things going so terribly, terribly wrong." -- Newsday

"A movie which you will find almost unbearable unless you are 1. already a huge Mandy Moore fan, 2. 12 years old and 3. clinically dead." -- Newsday

"To say this was done better in Wilder's Some Like It Hot is like saying the sun rises in the east." -- Newsday

"Arthur and the Invisibles makes an excellent case against casting animated movies with celebrity voices. There are people who make their living as voiceover artists, and they would have been infinitely better than the lackluster Robert De Niro." -- Newsday

"It's tough to imagine how someone could make a movie about Jamaican gangsterism that's so devoid of political content, but that's hardly Silvestra's biggest problem." -- Newsday

"What will terrify the audience very early on is the realization that there's better acting in the video game than on the big screen." -- Newsday

"There isn't much more of a story. In fact, there isn't any story. Luckily, Loken is there to provide something to stare at, vacantly." -- Newsday

"Menkins use of the soundtrack as a blunt instrument, his exploitation of his subject, the stagey conversations between family members and the squeezing of any emotional moment by the throat until it stops moving, are what make this film almost unwatchable" -- Newsday

"Screenwriters David T. Wagner and Brent Goldberg don't have tin ears, exactly; they've just recycled every movie quip they've ever overheard." -- Newsday

"The Island, which belabors itself for about 45 minutes before you have any idea what's afoot, is a clone itself - of Coma, a '70s medical thriller that once seemed so far-fetched it had to be sci-fi." -- Newsday

"Potter's script is entirely in iambic pentameter -- stressed second beats, five such beats to a line -- which is clever enough, but any message becomes obscured by sheer distraction." -- Newsday

"A World War II-era film that has no plot, and no discernible point, until the Nazis march in, sometime during Act 73." -- Newsday

"Too inept to work as what it seems to be, and not clever enough to work as a spoof -- which, if you're feeling charitable, is what you assume they intended." -- Newsday

"Affleck may be a nice man, but he has a seemingly congenital inability to do anything convincingly, which is only made worse by Smith's apparent immunity to cloying sentiment." -- Newsday

"Being a period piece hardly excuses Starsky & Hutch from being a cliche-ridden, uncharming and tiresome exercise in recycled humor." -- Newsday

"The dialogue is so trite you wouldn't want to be that young again ... and the rococo nature of the erotic entanglements make one pine for the relatively old-fashioned romance of Last Tango in Paris." -- Newsday

"I don't want to say that The Real Cancun, is boring, but I fell asleep on my arm during the last 45 minutes and chewed it off rather than wake myself up." -- Newsday

"A moment of silence, please, for the career of Robert De Niro. Once considered the finest American screen actor alive, he has reduced himself to singing I Feel Pretty. It is anything but." -- Newsday

"What [Frei] gives us ... is a man who uses the damage of war -- far more often than the warfare itself -- to create the kind of art shots that fill gallery shows." -- Newsday

"The makers of Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood should offer a free ticket (second prize, of course, two free tickets) to anyone who can locate a genuinely honest moment in their movie." -- Newsday
