Coraline
"It is truly a treasure to find an animated film that understands that this art medium is just as much for adults as it is for children."

The Sixth Sense
"The Sixth Sense is a fascinating, creepy, and completely gripping experience, even without the brilliant twist."

Captain Phillips
"While the last 10 minutes are unarguably the best, that's taking too much away from the preceding 2 hours."

Now You See Me
"The filmmakers are clearly reveling in their own genius at the end of the film, but the twist is so lacking in said genius that the ending is just one big egotistical flop."

TRON
"Features disastrously ugly special effects, terrible dialogue, weak acting, and a confusing story that isn't worth trying to follow."

Brain Divided
"Clever premise eventually gives way to formula."

Over the Hill
"Clever short, with some chuckle-worthy gags."

The Lego Movie
"My face still hurts from smiling."

The Lone Ranger
"The Lone Ranger can be easily enjoyed as an embarrassment to the names of everyone involved. But there's just enough legitimately good stuff in this movie to make one yearn for the fun film it could have been."

Arachnophobia
"Provides a satisfying blend of comedy and suspense, coupled with solid performances and a hot heaping of camp."

Jack and Jill
"I'm forever scarred. There's no going back; I will never be the same."

Mission: Impossible II
"I can't recommend it for much more than an antidote for insomnia."

The Kid
"Absolutely timeless, and an absolute must-see for anyone."

Iron Man
"The special effects may be shiny and pretty, but the entertainment just isn't there."

Mission: Impossible III
"The first 3 minutes alone of Mission: Impossible III are better than anything in the previous two Mission: Impossible films."

Party Central
"Younger fans of Pixar's prequel will enjoy it the most, while anyone older will find it passable."

Muppets Most Wanted
"You'll probably smile your way throughout most of the picture (and there's a generous array of chuckles dispersed throughout as well), but genuine laughs are rare."

Paranoia
"While Paranoia is indeed awful, and it completely lacks any of the important elements of a good thriller (or even a mediocre thriller), it excels in the area of comedy (albeit, unintentional comedy)."

Planes
"You can practically hear the cash registers chiming in melodious song during those (surprisingly dull) flight sequences."

The Book Thief
"Cynical moviegoers will have a field day with this film, but forgiving fans of the book, and perhaps a handful of patient newcomers will find The Book Thief to be mostly satisfying, it deeply problematic."

War Horse
"War Horse is as old-fashioned as a modern Hollywood movie will ever get."

God's Not Dead

Dead Poets Society
"The third and final act of this film is worthy of applause, but the first and second leave a less satisfying impression."

The Amazing Spider-Man 2
"There is no such thing as logic in The Amazing Spider-Man 2."

Godzilla (2014)
"If one has trouble defining the word "spectacle," Godzilla is the antidote."

Pacific Rim
"The highlights are delightful, but the bad parts are astoundingly terrible."

Captain America: The First Avenger
"There isn't enough here that's new or interesting too remain in the memory for long."

Maleficent
"It all leads back to the script, which feels very much like a first draft. There are great ideas here, but they're never developed enough to work as well as they might have."

The Matrix
"The Matrix is so refreshingly original and delightfully entertaining, that many problems can be overlooked. What cannot be overlooked, however, is the final 5 minutes, which is among the worst endings in memory."

Edge of Tomorrow
"Moderately pleasing Summer blockbuster barf."

How to Train Your Dragon 2
"How to Train Your Dragon 2 exists only to steal money from the fans of the first film, and perhaps create a stronger presence in the terrifying realm of fan fiction."

Edward Scissorhands
"Some will insist that Burton is a soulless director who has been ruined by money, but I argue that no such director could have created such a magical film as this."

Nacho Libre
"Nacho Libre has one rule, and that is as follows - As long as you say it in a funny voice, whatever you say is funny. Thus, we have one of the laziest scripts in recent history."

The Terminal
"The Terminal is the embodiment of great cinema. Everything that I love about film, music, and art (none of which, are mutually exclusive, mind you) is contained in this film."

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol
"The opening sequence is absolutely marvelous, and while one could argue that the film never does reach the grand heights of the first 5 minutes, it comes tantalizingly close."

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
"Apes on Horses (also known in some territories as Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) might just be the most intelligent Summer blockbuster to be released in years."

Gremlins
"An environment in which unintentional laughter is not detrimental to the movie experience. This bizarre blend of self-aware comedy and unintentional humor has resulted in a film that will only continue to get better as the years pass."

Groundhog Day
"Even if its cultural significance didn't make it a must-see by most standards, it's an enjoyable enough film that it deserves a recommendation anyway."

Guardians of the Galaxy
"Guardians of the Galaxy disappoints not because it's necessarily a bad movie, but that it only partially realizes its massive potential."

Beetlejuice
"A wild romp that's highly imaginative and wickedly entertaining."

Forrest Gump
"When the film eases back a little on the sweetness, it has an old-fashioned appeal to it, and an unmistakable charm in the aesthetics of the picture."

Battleship
"Battleship really only has enough story and character development to create a 90 second film (plus credits), so how director Peter Berg got a two-plus hour film out of this is beyond me."

The Magnificent Seven
"While not without memorable moments, there is little of outstanding notability in The Magnificent Seven, excepting its massive legacy."

Men in Black
"A joyous comedy. It loses a little steam by the time it reaches the third act, but the blissfully compact 98 minute run-time insures that the film doesn't overstay its welcome."

Unbreakable
"Creates a level of tangible anxiety, which is fascinating as much of the film is occupied entirely by conversation. Essentially, Shyamalan has created suspense out of thin air, in what is an absolute triumph in directing."

The Giver
"A watered down version of the book that replaces its challenging questions with cheap answers."

Galaxy Quest
"The second half lags a bit, and the writing isn't always sharp, but the film is saved by a strong cast and a number of big laughs early on."

The Help
"It's certainly not perfect, nor without ironic flaws (leave it to the white person to save the blacks), but it's charming and entertaining, and has real depth thanks to its talented cast."

Gremlins 2: The New Batch
"Largely devoid of the charm and entertainment that blessed the 1984 original, Gremlins 2 isn't completely joyless, but it does its best to get there. 40 minutes of tedious and inevitable set-up, only for the next 107 to be an extensive string of bad pop culture references and predictable slap-stick comedy."

Men in Black II
"Everything about this sequel feels rushed, from the storyline, the character "banter" (a term I use very lightly), and especially the ending. The plot points for the last third of the movie seem to be made up as the film goes along."
