     (2006)      "Nacho Libre is such a remarkable improvement over Napoleon Dynamite, someone might want to check the temp in hell and see if it's still toasty down there." [movie review]      FilmJerk.com   
  
B+
     (2007)      "It's an unexpectedly boisterous, giddy show kicking down the taboo of the male body with a collection of toe-tappin' songs and enough full frontal to power 300 consecutive bachelorette parties." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
B+
     (2007)      "Namesake is rough around the edges, but radiates a poignancy that's impossible to shake." [movie review]      OhmyNews.com   
  
B+
     (2007)      "A majority of the film is in awe of Nancy's dynamic sleuthing skills and her confidence. It's a wonderful change of pace for tween cinema." [movie review]      OhmyNews.com   
  
B
     (2007)      "It's not exactly a Kubrickian essay of obsessive filmmaking mastery, but one can sense Nanny is going somewhere, instead of stumbling over mishaps and melodrama." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
B+
     (2006)      "It's about time somebody put some enchantment back into the profession, and McPhee is the appealing and visually vibrant family film diversion that provides the spark." [movie review]      FilmJerk.com   
  
F
     (2004)      "It’s an empty, affected experience, and a 5-minute joke stretched out to 85 of the most soul-sucking, higher-power-questioning minutes found in a movie this year." [movie review]      FilmJerk.com   
  
9/10
     (2002)      "[An] authoritative, skillfully performed picture." [movie review]      Modamag.com   
  
D-
     (2007)      "The short answer is that Many is atrociously unfunny and Melendez reveals himself to be a man of zero charisma and artistic capability" [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
D-
     (2004)      "Gold Diggers is a joke of a film; built on the most pathetic of comedic situations and annoying performances." [movie review]      FilmJerk.com

C
     (2004)      "As vanilla a filmmaker as they make 'em, Turteltaub's filmography doesn't exactly inspire the greatest confidence that he can handle a monster-budgeted action/adventure." [movie review]      FilmJerk.com   
  
D+
     (2007)      "Helen Mirren provides adequate distraction from Justin Bartha's insufferable ad-libs. Yep, he's still comedy poison. Three years hasn't changed that." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
C-
     (2006)      "Everything is handled with an anvil-like importance, forgetting that, in essence, this is tale of great joy and hope." [movie review]      OhmyNews.com   
  
D+
          "There should be a law that forces potential renters of Grave to be sent Long Weekend instead...once you've watched the original slow-burn its way into a frenzy, the misguided remake from Blanks just looks all the more insipid." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
C+

1/10
     (2002)      "When a director deliberately sends his own film down such a well-worn path, you know you're in the presence of a truly bad director." [movie review]      Modamag.com   
  
D-
     (2008)      "Never Back Down is a tired, asinine attempt to piggyback on a fight club subculture and it does wonders to make MMA seem like the most idiotic undertaking in recent memory." [movie review]      BrianOrndorf.com   
  
D
     (2004)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      FilmJerk.com   
  
A-
     (2008)      "For a film as gentle, meaningful, and tender as Never Forever, the picture can be forgiven such old-fashioned melodramatic extravagance to make a lasting impression." [movie review]      BrianOrndorf.com

1/10
     (2002)      "Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for raunchy teen comedies. I don’t think my heart could bear another train wreck like this." [movie review]      Modamag.com   
  
D
     (2009)      "New in Town is nothing short of a character assassination attempt on Minnesota, and even worse, it's a ghastly romantic comedy that requires heavy sedation to endure." [movie review]      BrianOrndorf.com   
  
A-
     (2005)      "Kilcher is pitch-perfect as the iconic Native-American, and the character's slowly dwindling life essence is one of the most heartbreaking character arcs I've seen this year." [movie review]      FilmJerk.com   
  
C-
     (2009)      "The contrast is inviting, the emotional momentum is there, and the dramatic situations are ripe with potential...and then the viewer is faced with Klein, Prinze Jr., and Sigler doing all the heavy lifting. How deflating." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com

B
     (2007)      "For better or worse, Next always has its eye on a perky pace and the occasional bubble-gum snap of amusement." [movie review]      OhmyNews.com   
  
C
     (2009)      "Air is an interesting misfire, but often an irritatingly erratic viewing experience that would've profited greatly from a good old-fashioned dose of clear-headed concentration." [movie review]      BrianOrndorf.com

C-
     (2008)      "Caloric with whimsy but lacks distinctive dramatic weight, to a degree that it ceases to be a movie and transforms into something resembling a tiresome Diet Coke commercial." [movie review]      BrianOrndorf.com   
  
C
     (2006)      "Under Shawn Levy's watch, Museum is an erratic time-waster that lives up to the filmmaker's streak of movies that drown in their own lethargy and fear of individuality." [movie review]      OhmyNews.com   
  
C+
     (2009)      "Smithsonian only occasionally lives up to its wondrous, chaotic premise. Instead the film appears more delighted with tiresome improvisational acrobatics than generating a welcoming tidal wave of wonder." [movie review]      BrianOrndorf.com   
  
B+
     (2006)      "Listener is an intimate story, and Stettner directs accordingly, appreciating Maupin's delicate framework and doesn't push his weight around trying to shape the material into standard thriller mode." [movie review]      FilmJerk.com   
  
D
     (2006)      "Broadstreet can barely keep up with his own filmmaking incompetence, directing a cast that resembles small town community theater understudies, and following a script that prompts every character to talk, and talk, and talk." [movie review]      FilmJerk.com   
  
D+
     (2005)      "Dare I even consider that perhaps this is all there is, and Bekmambetov doesn't have a blueprint for his trilogy? Night Watch certainly hints at this possibility." [movie review]      FilmJerk.com   
  
D
     (1989)      "Because nothing says giggly slasher escapism quite like child endangerment and abortion discussions. Please pass the popcorn." [movie review]      BrianOrndorf.com   
  
B+
     (2008)      "Kept animated by the superior work of the cast, who take the surface mentality of the source material and make it a deeply felt, agreeably tragic romantic experience. Rodanthe is obvious, but it's very effective." [movie review]      BrianOrndorf.com   
  
D+
     (2008)      "A headache-inducing film that grows more obnoxious as it plays, but the most piercing element of the movie is Foster." [movie review]      BrianOrndorf.com

B
     (2007)      "Overall, I responded to The Nines as a sly Cronenbergian chess game of the mind. As impenetrable as it becomes, it's easy to perceive that this is straight-from-the-heart work from August." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
C
     (2009)      "It's a ninja story for goodness sake, but McTeigue and his writers are on the prowl for something epic, puncturing the potential of the film by taking it all so very seriously." [movie review]      BrianOrndorf.com   
  
A-
     (2007)      "A whip-smart, fingernail-chewing creation that crackles with tension and is pocked with thrilling incarnations of evil. It makes the standard-issue nightmare seem like a tropical vacation." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
B+
     (2007)      "Want to kick start a drinking problem? Just give No End in Sight a look, and you're assured a cold, dark night ingesting anything nearby that will sooth the post-viewing depression." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
D
     (1989)      "Barred is tremendously crude, unapologetically manipulative (Zeus finally breaks down Rip's reserve by crippling his kid brother), and aimed directly at easily entertained 13-year-old boys." [movie review]      BrianOrndorf.com   
  
C+
     (2007)      "I have no hard feelings toward adult-oriented escapist cinema, but there's a robotic quality to No Reservations that keeps the film from soaring." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
D
     (2008)      "This bogus cutting-edge thriller is obnoxious and repellent in any direction it stands, mistaking distasteful tonal changes for cinematic razzle dazzle." [movie review]      BrianOrndorf.com   
  
B-
     (2007)      "Norbit ends up a patchy oddity, but remains the closest Eddie Murphy has come to recapturing his mislaid sense of danger." [movie review]      OhmyNews.com   
  
C-
     (2005)      "North Country has a sensational story, it's just a crime the filmmakers elected to write the script with crayons." [movie review]      FilmJerk.com
