1.

Peeples

Atlanta Creative Loafing
05/10/13 Good (Not Great) "...looks, sounds and feels like a carbon copy of -- or better yet, a black version of -- 'Meet the Parents,' which in my opinion is an issue."
2.

Bullet to the Head

Atlanta Creative Loafing
02/01/13 Weak "...a mindless, derivative action film that puts more emphasis on the action than substance."
3.

The Last Stand (2013)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
01/17/13 Poor "...brimmed with Schwarzenegger's token one-liners, explosive car chases, gunplay, and fist fights.... a simple, weak bore of a film."
4.

Red Dawn (2012)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
11/21/12 Poor "...uninspired.... The theme of the American spirit gets drowned in syrupy character conflicts between brothers, love interests and loss."
5.

Alex Cross

Atlanta Creative Loafing
10/18/12 Weak "Matthew Fox as his creepy nemesis and Ed Burns as his sidekick, along with tons of action sequences, help diffuse the spotlight on Perry's shortcomings..."
6.

Here Comes the Boom

Atlanta Creative Loafing
10/12/12 Good (Not Great) "Kevin James at his surprising best. This well written and action-fueled comedy cleverly makes a poignant statement while delivering action, heart, and humor."
7.

The Watch (2012)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
07/27/12 Weak "There's so many moments where the actors are just improvising, making more dick jokes than any movie should... the below-the-belt yuks just don't let up."
8.

Magic Mike

Atlanta Creative Loafing
06/29/12 Poor "...attempts to reveal more beneath the surface of its central character but instead exposes a bare and uninteresting story."
9.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Atlanta Creative Loafing
06/21/12 Weak "Seth Grahame-Smith's adaptation of his own fictional work leaves much to be desired.... does a hatchet job defining the legend of the soon-to-be president..."
10.

Rock of Ages (2012)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
06/14/12 Weak "What tries to build as a high energy musical tribute to the phenom blip of '80s hair bands, slowly turns into a sappy, off kilter comedy that falls flat."
11.

Battleship (2012)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
05/18/12 Poor "...at its heart is an immature, explosive misadventure whose payload offers a whole lot of boom, but unfortunately delivers no bang."
12.

Dark Shadows (2012)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
05/10/12 Good (Not Great) "...a quirky, moody dark comedy... family friendly..."
13.

Safe (2012)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
04/26/12 Weak "There's no tricks, no subterfuge and no heat, just Statham doing what he does best - issuing his unique style of on-the-go justice to whomever the villain du jour may be."
14.

Think Like a Man

Atlanta Creative Loafing
04/25/12 Excellent "...a unique blend of interesting funny story, great performances and genuinely heartfelt beats... a standout amongst today's romantic comedies."
15.

Wrath of the Titans

Atlanta Creative Loafing
04/04/12 Weak "Perseus married Andromeda, not Io, they had nine children where one was name Heleus not Helius and the Minotaur was actually slain by Theseus, not Perseus."
16.

Mirror Mirror

Atlanta Creative Loafing
03/30/12 Good (Not Great) "Both kids and adults are sure to enjoy this smart, contemporary fairy tale full of laughs, charm and spectacle."
17.

21 Jump Street

Atlanta Creative Loafing
03/21/12 Excellent "...outrageous... filled with snark, crass humor, and laugh out loud shock moments... doesn't miss a beat and will have you clamouring for more laughs."
18.

Project X (2012)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
03/07/12 Good (Not Great) "Mindless and oddly rich in buddy bonding moments... worth seeing."
19.

Act of Valor

Atlanta Creative Loafing
03/01/12 Moderate "...has in its core a fascinating and thrilling action movie... but its weak premise and blatant clichés work against it and slightly derail the integrity it sought to illustrate."
20.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

Atlanta Creative Loafing
02/22/12 Poor "Cage's Blaze is just over the top, 'dialing it to 11'... doesn't have enough gas to make it interesting or entertaining."
