1.

Zookeeper

Atlanta Creative Loafing
07/07/11 Poor "...no matter how many adorable animals you add into 'Zookeeper's' crazy mix, you're in for one very bad experience."
2.

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."
3.

Unstoppable (2010)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
11/11/10 Good (Not Great) "...a nonstop thrill ride and a satisfying payoff in the end."
4.

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."
5.

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."
6.

The Tourist (2010)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
12/10/10 Weak "...cat and mouse film regrettably feels more like a stripped down version of the worst Bond film, without the 007. In other words, a pompous bore."
7.

The Losers

Atlanta Creative Loafing
04/21/10 Weak "...thumbs up for delivering a satisfying mashup of explosive action and light-hearted fun, but hands down, it sorely lacks the glue to sensibly hold the whole thing together."
8.

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."
9.

The Karate Kid (2010)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
06/10/10 Excellent "Jackie Chan goes above and beyond to deliver surprisingly compassionate and powerful acting akin to his predecessor in the same role."
10.

The Joneses

Atlanta Creative Loafing
04/14/10 Weak "It's unclear whether 'The Joneses' is an attempt at dark comedy or ambitious social drama."
11.

Sucker Punch (2011)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
03/25/11 Poor "...a stylish, but troubled mash of plot and subplots, innuendo and metaphor."
12.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

Atlanta Creative Loafing
12/16/11 Weak "...gives very little exploration into the man to make us care aside from his ability to constantly confound his nemesis. Ultimately you just go, who cares?"
13.

Salt

Atlanta Creative Loafing
07/28/10 Good (Not Great) "...chock full of bold action and often predictable twists that envelope the cast of characters in this exciting chess game between superpowers."
14.

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."
15.

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."
16.

Repo Men

Atlanta Creative Loafing
03/19/10 Weak "...gets bogged down with the emotionally charged drivel from Law's bad-guy-gone-good Remy and his and Jake's awkward co-dependency."
17.

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."
18.

Real Steel

Atlanta Creative Loafing
10/06/11 Weak "...a sappy family-oriented plot, a phoned-in performance from Jackman, and a couple of unnecessary story stalls that could have been easily omitted..."
19.

Project X (2012)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
03/07/12 Good (Not Great) "Mindless and oddly rich in buddy bonding moments... worth seeing."
20.

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."
