"Do yourself a favor and stay home. Griffin's 21-second wrecking-the-Enzo video on YouTube is more exciting (and better directed, and better acted ...) than anything in Redline."

"The scariest part of Material Girls comes when you're sitting in the dark theater and start considering the possibility that young women might find these characters sympathetic."

"There's nothing clever about this movie. It starts too slow, plot points are abandoned and even the killings start to run together."

"A film so mind-blowingly horrible that it teeters on the edge of cinematic immortality."

"Imagine a horrible parallel universe, where Pauly Shore is allowed to direct a remake of Harold and Maude."

"It's unoriginal, frequently incomprehensible and cheaply made, and moviegoers should avoid theaters that show this film just to eliminate the chance of walking in accidentally."

Darkness (2003)4%

"A claustrophobic horror film that provides nothing original beyond its underground setting."

"The Chronicle's Little Man was fighting an internal struggle to abandon his chair altogether, but was ultimately swayed to continue his nap, mostly by a few of the comics in supporting roles."

King's Ransom (2005)0%

1/5
 
"Attempts to combine the extreme sports visuals of a good Warren Miller ski film with the plot of a bad Tom Green picture and doesn't come close to landing on four wheels."
Posted Aug 15, 2003
 
Grind (2003)9%

1/4
 
"The combination of good actors and terrible dialogue might have allowed the film a chance at minor cult status, if it weren't for the frustratingly inept action sequences."

"Considering that the title of the movie was conceived by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, it's not a huge surprise that What Happens in Vegas is stocked with product placement."

"[Spurlock's] work here leans closer to Tyra Banks wearing her fat suit than anything directed by Errol Morris or even Michael Moore."

"There are a few laughs and some touching moments, but nothing you couldn't get by watching episodes of Good Times and Little House on the Prairie back to back."

Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns (2008)31%

"While the movie is completely ridiculous, at least it's fun to think of all the high school students who are going to mistake this movie for an accurate historical record and get F's on their next pop quiz."

"The grating presence of Longoria Parker will be enough to ruin the movie for many, but she's just one of many shortcomings in this romantic comedy, which seriously lacks both romance and comedy."

"Ice Cube has been taking a lot of heat in recent years for abandoning his tough guy image in exchange for Hollywood stardom, and First Sunday appears to be a compromise."

"The plot isn't intellectually challenging as much as it is confusing, and yet the big twist is completely telegraphed. Ritchie has created a movie that is patronizingly obvious one minute and impenetrable the next."

"Between the occasional amusing joke and catchy musical number, this Alvin update is a very soulless movie."

Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)25%

"The Syriana of slasher films, so complicated and circuitous that your only hope of understanding everything is to eat lots of fish the night before and then watch each of the previous films, in order, right before you enter the theater."
Posted Oct 29, 2007
 
Saw IV (2007)19%

"It's worth mentioning for the third time that this movie is much closer to Caligula than Sleepless in Seattle."

"It's hard to hate a movie that tries so valiantly to resurrect the career of Lee Majors. But even that noble task ultimately fails."

"Everyone who made this movie had his or her heart in the right place, even though they got so much wrong."

"A mindless comedy where the blatant racial stereotypes are outnumbered only by the flatulence jokes."

Delta Farce (2007)3%

"If there was a good idea at the core of this film, it's been buried in an unsightly pile of flatulence jokes, dog-related bad puns and a ridiculous serial arson plot."

"Gooding is solid in the leading-man role. He has some of the best lines, and he's pretty much the only character you could stand to hang out with in real life."

"The Messengers isn't a particularly frightening or gory horror movie, but directors Danny and Oxide Pang do have a special talent for torturing the reputations of their actors."

"If you have a decent laptop, a copy of the Final Cut Pro software, some gray spray paint and access to a German shepherd, then you can probably make a better-looking werewolf than the ones in Blood & Chocolate."

"[Grace, played by Sophia Bush] can't go six blocks without having to pee, and we're supposed to believe she knows how to fire a Colt 45 and a shotgun?"

"For some insane reason, the makers of Primeval attempted to create a film that blends Anaconda with Hotel Rwanda, and they failed miserably."

"Besson is a pro when it comes to action movies, but this part live, part animation effort is a mess, highlighted by creepy animation, derivative plot points and a child star who speaks way too fast."

Arthur and the Invisibles (2007)20%

"Connoisseurs of trashy moviemaking are left with a bland slasher film, filled with a bad guy who lacks menace, a script that lacks humor and several hot young characters who have the nerve to go throughout the picture without taking their clothes off."

"As the movie itself is only occasionally entertaining, I invented my own competition: picking scenes from other movies that the Van Wilder 2 screenwriters ripped off because they didn't have any of their own ideas."

"The Return isn't the worst movie of the year -- or even in the top 10. But it's hard to imagine anyone seeing this movie and thinking they got their money's worth."

"As the creators of The X-Files learned and the people behind Lost are going to find out soon, you can only jerk around an audience... for so long before they start screaming in frustration and move on to something else."

"It doesn't seem like a single scene was filmed without the main characters being aware that the cameras were on, and there is almost no dramatic tension."

"With animated movies coming out every other week or so, mediocrity is becoming a rule. Open Season loses more points than most films because of its similarities to Over the Hedge, one of the few kids films that did it right this year."

"While the reality television series that chronicled the making of this low-budget horror film last year was extremely entertaining, the piece of cinema that resulted is kind of a bore."

"... a supernatural teen drama that wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to pay good money to see it."

"Crossover has one redeeming quality: a heart that's in the right place. It's a bad movie with a good message -- but does anyone really want to pay $10 for an ABC After School Special version of He Got Game?"

"Most of the jokes fall in one of two creepy categories -- slapstick having to do with the baby's superhuman strength or slapstick involving the baby's sex drive."
