" It's sad to see the once-promising actress killing her career, between her self-destructive behavior behind the scenes and her poor judgment selecting scripts." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" The movie, which was not screened for critics, makes a joke of everyone who isn't wealthy, white and pencil thin." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" The shtick is desperately crude and not particularly funny. One wonders why any actress, even a retired MTV game show hostess, would stoop to such a disgraceful gig." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" [Pettis] overplays cute to the point where you wish the Rock would practice one of his wrestling moves on her and ship her off to Kid Nation." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" Revamping the influential 1978 shocker Halloween for a new generation of viewers, director Rob Zombie offers a film with more sex, more violence, no humor and zero scares." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" Even though the film clocks under two hours, it seems longer than a Lord of the Rings marathon played on slow motion." -- Newark Star-Ledger

The Last Legion (2007)17%
/
1/4
 
" When it isn't depicting brutal deaths, the film condemns audiences for flocking to see lurid entertainment. If director Scott Wiper is trying to make a statement, it gets lost in a mirror maze of hypocrisy and self-loathing." -- Newark Star-Ledger
Posted Apr 27, 2007
 
The Condemned (2007)16%

" Layered with improbable plot twists and hypocritical commentary, the movie is lurid and outdated when it wants to be hip and provocative." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" It's a joyless cross-country romp in which the heroes confront crazy animals, lascivious hicks and rest-stop bathroom horrors." -- Newark Star-Ledger

Wild Hogs (2007)14%
/

" Pages turn, knives plunge, rain patters and the camera rarely holds steady. No amount of quick cuts and twitchy shots, however, can compensate for the lack of narrative momentum." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" Do you want to play a game? How about a really long, convoluted game that leads nowhere? The scariest thing about Saw III is how it seems like it's never going to end." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" With its lurching blend of scatology, sentimentality and sci-fi, the movie is a mess. It's also sexist, bigoted and misanthropic. Of course, those qualities used to be part of the star's charm." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" The movie leaves you with lots of questions, mainly, what are Ralph Fiennes and Donald Sutherland doing here? Imagine Ed Wood attempting Brazil or Uwe Boll remaking V For Vendetta." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" A barrage of bad jokes, offensive stereotypes and dated reference points, the movie is like Meet the Fockers on overdrive." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" It's not very Christian for Harvey to ask his fans to pay multiplex ticket prices for a shoddy film that is barely feature length." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" It is ultimately an exercise in redundancy, since there's little point in creating a comedy that sends up other comedies. The end result is more a knockoff than a parody." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" As far as gratuitous follow-ups go, it is neither evolution nor devolution. A more appropriate title is Underworld: Stagnation." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" While '06 is still young, chances are, 12 months from now, Grandma's Boy will rank as one of the year's worst comedies. Munich offers more laughs." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" The best scenes in Barbershop featured incisive discussions of current events. Here, the closest brush with topicality is a reference to Eddie Griffin." -- Newark Star-Ledger

The Salon (2005)13%

" The picture climaxes with the crashing of a blimp, an image that encapsulates the Hindenburg scale of its failure." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" With its slapstick car wrecks and sports injuries, the movie is like a Michael Bay take on Garden State. It wants to be painfully funny, but it really is just plain painful to watch." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" It's sad to say that an arbitrary appearance by Jerry Springer is the picture's closest brush with inspiration." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" It seems like all of the filmmaker's creative energy was channeled into the gory imagery, while thematic linkage was an afterthought. Venom has a meandering story to match its misleading title." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" The film is of little use to anyone except casting directors, fixed on selling a performer rather than telling a story." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" There is something to be said for the uncompromising idiocy of the film, but that something is unprintable." -- Newark Star-Ledger

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005)11%

" A mess of pretense, too hip and cool to concern itself with emotional logic or narrative cohesion." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" Audiences may wonder why a picture with Robert De Niro, Kathy Bates and Harvey Keitel would be so bereft of hype. After you've endured the film, all 120 airless minutes, you'll understand the rationale behind the quiet release." -- Newark Star-Ledger

" In a way, the movie title refers not only to the characters, but also the audience. Enduring this harrowingly derivative tale, viewers will wonder where the filmmakers' minds were." -- Newark Star-Ledger
