Fateful Findings (2013)
It's as though Breen beamed this incomprehensible, egomaniacal, paranoid fever dream from an alien planet that studied human behavior but didn't pay attention.

It's like Christmas was projectile-vomited onto every inch of this movie.

The Poison Rose (2019)
An onslaught of private detective cliches crudely formed into a movie-like shape, The Poison Rose is filled with twists but bereft of surprises.

Moment by Moment (1978)
Moment by Moment announces its indifference and ineptitude in the opening moments and then reinforces it over the next several thousand moments.

Dude Bro Party Massacre III (2015)
It's disjointed, overloaded, and often forced and obvious, with a high volume of jokes and a low connect rate, but there are enough real laughs to make it recommendable.

Mogul Mowgli (2021)
Ahmed as Zed is good, but I'm not sure that he's rapping so much as reciting slam poetry, which is bad.

From Justin To Kelly (2003)
The film stars American Idol contestants Justin Guarini and Kelly Clarkson as reality show hostages grimly going through the motions of a bland and brainless Spring Break musical.

The Night House (2021)
Sneaking up behind someone and kicking their ears in the balls does not a master of suspense make.

Dancin' It's On (2015)
This hilariously inept Panama City Beach travelogue has good dancin' but bad everythin' else.

Pig (2021)
An intriguing blend of a John Wick-style revenge fable and a foodie travelogue unfortunately confined to a standard-issue indie therapy movie.

Annette (2021)
Ultimately, Annette is uniquely Carax - consistently audacious, brutishly self-aware, sometimes too clever for its own good but frequently brilliant.

Jungle Cruise (2021)
It's a moldy Indiana Jones knockoff clumsily sutured onto a rotting Pirates of the Caribbean knockoff.

The Last Man (2019)
A dreary, shapeless, grey-green, post-apocalyptic incel sex fantasy, The Last Man is a chore from start to finish.

Speed 2 - Cruise Control (1997)
Instead of action or suspense, Cruise Control delivers dumb comedy riddled with continuity errors and a complete lack of spatial-temporal logic.

Spookies (1987)
A go-for-broke 1980s horror buffet that offers some surprisingly good monster effects and some unsurprisingly abysmal acting and writing.

Undine (2020)
Beer is the best reason to see Undine, moving between vulnerability, sensuality, confusion and calculation, sometimes within the same scene.

Ava (2020)
The film is vacuous and unoriginal without any real style or point-of-view, while a strong ensemble cast makes no effort.

Runaway (1984)
A wooden, cliched cop movie with the tiniest sliver of a sci-fi twist, Runaway stars Tom Selleck and Cynthia Rhodes and features Gene Simmons, cast against type as a sleazeball.

Foodfight! (2012)

The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020)
The Trial of the Chicago 7 almost plays like a parody of Aaron Sorkin-style self-satisfaction, only it's written and directed by the real Sorkin, so it's terrible.
