B+
     (2006)      "Iñárritu's spiritual side combines with his insight into human nature to transcend the shakier elements." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D
     (2008)      "While Babylon A.D. isn't the worst big-budget sci-fi film ever made, it comes near enough to merit avoiding at all costs." [movie review]      Mania.com   
  
D
     (2002)      "This is a movie on autopilot, too tired and broken down even to find an appropriate place to crash." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C
     (2005)      "Watered-down beer." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
F
     (2002)      "You'll have more fun setting fire to yourself in the parking lot. You'll be more entertained getting hit by a bus." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C-
     (2007)      "Balls of Fury is bad, but it's not really bad, and I suppose that's a victory of sorts." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2001)      "Bandits can't hope for any real originality, but hard work and intelligence can sometimes make an adequate substitute." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D-
     (2006)      "Basic Instinct 2 would be a magnificent exercise in transcendental camp... were it not for the pleading, deluded look behind its leading lady's ice-blue eyes." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2008)      "Synergistic product promotion Gotham Knight may be, but the people behind it treat their efforts as anything but disposable." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A
     (2005)      "It knows what this character is about, and crafts an ode to everything that 65 years worth of fans have come to love." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
2/4
     (2009)      "It can't bring its unique elements online with sufficient skill to offset its flaws." [movie review]      Sci-Fi Movie Page   
  
F
     (2000)      "This isn't a movie, it's a crime against celluloid. You don't so much watch it as stare at it in gape-jawed disbelief." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2000)      "Bedazzled will make you laugh, loudly and with great frequency. With a film like this, nothing else really matters." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
1/4
     (2008)      "At least he's not flinging vomit at anybody..." [movie review]      Sci-Fi Movie Page   
  
D
     (2007)      "Beyond its basic concept, Bee Movie hasn't the first idea where to go." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C+
     (2007)      "The plasticine puppetry of the central figures still lacks that essential spark required to bring them to life." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2003)      "It doesn't celebrate preposterousness so much as the reality hiding behind it, and the belief that the tale is always intermingled with he who tells it." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B-
     (1999)      "There's nothing actively wrong with The Big Kahuna, it simply feels more appropriate at a community theatre rather than the local multiplex." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2002)      "Though it can't match Sonnenfeld's best work, Big Trouble is more than up to the task before it." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C
     (2002)      "The film has potential, but never manages to put the pieces together quite right." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D
     (2006)      "It slides from pulp classic to guilty pleasure to cautionary example to full-bore train wreck." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A
     (2001)      "It isn't so much a yarn as an immersive experience, an attempt to convey the foot soldier's viewpoint in the most primal and immediate manner possible." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B+
     (2007)      "[Brewer] takes fearsome advantage of the steaming sexuality and thick pulp on display, while underscoring it with a deep sense of intimacy." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A-
     (2002)      "It must be the end of the world: the best film so far this year is a franchise sequel starring Wesley Snipes." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C
     (2004)      "If Blade himself can't carry a movie with his own name on it, then perhaps the time has come to hang up the stakes for good." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D
     (2000)      "Watching it stumble about reminds one how difficult this sort of material can be, and how Satan needs more than some bad CGIs to be truly scary." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A+
     (1984)      "A good filmmaker can make grim material watchable, but it takes a great one (or two) to make it fun." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A+
     (2000)      "A good filmmaker can make grim material watchable, but it takes a great one (or two) to make it fun." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B-
     (2009)      "[It] turns its collection of overused action/horror staples into... well... a kind of fun collection of overused action/horror staples." [movie review]      Mania.com   
  
D-
     (2006)      "Michael Madsen? Michelle Rodriguez? 'I'll take "Actors Who Should Never Appear in Period Pieces" for $500, Alex.'" [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C
     (2008)      "It's basically just an excuse for Leonardo DiCaprio to play Jason Bourne while Scott once again turns his technical expertise towards making Morocco look pretty." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D
     (2000)      "[It] sounds a death knell for this overhyped marketing phenomenon, and not a moment too soon." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2007)      "In many ways, it's no less stylish and no more substantive than Transformers. The only difference is that it assumes the audience is clever enough to keep up with it." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A
     (2002)      "Even if the world doesn't see things the way [Michael Moore] does, his questions are worth asking.… and Bowling for Columbine benefits from his iconoclastic zeal." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C-
     (2006)      "When, oh when, will the scorching on-screen chemistry between Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau finally be consummated?" [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
A-
     (2005)      "By seemingly renouncing overt politics, it makes a case for tolerance and understanding far more effectively than a film with a more direct agenda." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C
     (2005)      "To see what The Brothers Grimm aims for — to see how wonderful and glorious it could have been — is to curse it all the more as it slowly loses its way." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2006)      "Watching the film, one wonders what Lennon and McCartney would have done if they were fused together like the Howes." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
C-
     (2003)      "Like its protagonist, it's too willing to ignore its assets. We don't ask much from our summer movies; a little effort should not be beyond this one's grasp." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D
     (2003)      "By the time the bad guys start hooking Buddhists up to pseudo-bondage torture devices, there's nothing left but to check your watch and slink out the back." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
B
     (2008)      "Burn After Reading aims for nothing but a few subversive giggles, which it delivers handily over the course of a quick 96 minutes." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium   
  
D
     (2004)      "There is a difference between the thrilling and the merely cruel. The Butterfly Effect fails because it can't make that distinction." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium
