Wreck-it Ralph (2012)
That rare film where a clever idea actually pans out, resulting in an entertaining movie.

Love Me (2012)
Everyone here is so stereotypical that most viewers would be hard-pressed to remember a distinguish feature of any of the characters after viewing the film.

The kidnapping victims aren't the only ones who were taken.

The Pact (2012)
If you appreciate a quiet, thoughtful horror movie, you'll discover a lot to like here.

Dark Shadows (2012)
While nothing succeeds like success, people should think twice before giving Burton and Depp $150 million to work on their pet project.

The Dictator (2012)
Cohen is so busy going out of his way to be shocking and controversial that he completely forgets to be clever.

LOL (2012)
The film vacillates from being about teenage romance and then back to a "parents just don't understand" movie and it rarely gels.

Hit So Hard (2012)
I felt that the movie was a companion piece to a book which I didn't know that I was supposed to have read.

The pacing is slow and the dialogue is sometimes contrived and we feel as if the movie wants to do more than it actually is.

The Fields (2011)
The key moments which are obviously meant to be jarring are either limp or non-sensical.

The Ring (2002)
Not a total disaster, but not as good as the original.

Absentia (2012)
One of the better low-budget horror movies which I've seen lately, but I felt that something was missing.

The Descendants (2011)
It's a moving drama which is complex and interesting, while never seeming pretentious.

2/5
Creature (2011)
By attempting to add layers, the movie gets very muddled and the third act feels as if it can never decide which sub-plot is the most important.

Camel Spiders (2011)
A movie set around this urban legend is actually a good idea, but the execution here is all wrong.

2.5/5
Melancholia (2011)
It keeps the viewer at arm's length, seeming ambivalent about whether or not we truly care about what is going on.

2/5
Happy Feet Two (2011)
It feels as if Miller & Co. came up with the central idea, and then added more stories to it in order for the film to be feature length.

High Road (2012)
I felt that the actors were fumbling through the conversations desperately trying to say something funny.

Snow White A Deadly Summer (2012)
This barely qualifies as a movie.

3/5
Columbus Circle (2010)
It's got a good look, the story is fairly solid (despite some plotholes in the finale), and the actors are good, but it never pushes the envelope.

Justice League: Doom (2012)
There are some flaws in the story and the ending is a bit convenient, but the plot twist and the drama make it worth checking out.

It's undeniably fun and you will just eat up the monsters...or vice-versa.

Godzilla (Gojira) (1954)
I feel certain that for the citizens of Japan at the time, Godzilla was cathartic, but also a reminder of what the power of the atom could do.

Abduction (2011)
The movie has an amateurish look and feel at times.

Chop (2011)
It's not funny or scary, and only the most patient viewer won't throw something at the screen at the end.

Kill Katie Malone (2010)
Once the movie gets going, there is some minor character development and everyone's motivations make sense, but the film is simply never engaging.

Psychic Experiment (2010)
There is nothing appealing about the movie, save for the fact that it would make the perfect bad-movie party fodder.

Chillerama (2011)
The horror comedy is one of the most difficult genres to pull off and Chillerama shows that good intentions and a love for the genre won't get you very far.

Needle (2010)
It falls into the wishy-washy category of horror movies which aren't awful, but they're not very impressive either.

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2011)
Horror fans who have grown tired of every road trip becoming a death-trap will find the movie appealing, but don't expect a new classic.

The two hour running time is simply numbing and instead of wondering what crazy thing would happen next, I just wanted the movie to end.

ThanksKilling (2009)
This movie walks right up to the envelope, but it never pushes it, and afterwards, I didn't crave any leftovers.

The Caller (2011)
Would have been a welcome addition to The Twilight Zone, but as a 91-minute movie, the story runs out of gas and gives way to tedium.

Conan O'Brien Can't Stop (2011)
It's a portrait of a man who loves to perform and thus, offers both insight and entertainment.

Evil Things (2009)
Just because a character decides to video everything that happens, doesn't mean that we want to see it.

Rio (2011)
We get a lot of animated films these days, and in the end, Rio is decidedly mediocre.

Better Off Dead (1985)
From the menacing paperboys to the animated hamburgers to the aardvark coats, this is a very strange and silly film, which is also very funny.
