1.

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."
2.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
04/30/10 Weak "Aside from a few jumpy moments to keep you squirming in your theater seat, this remake has little to offer."
3.

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..."
4.

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."
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.

Alpha and Omega

Atlanta Creative Loafing
09/17/10 Poor "Aside from a few funny moments this movie is a fair movie for babysitting, but unfortunately, completely forgettable."
7.

Arthur (2011)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
04/07/11 Poor "If you're a Russell Brand fan, you'll enjoy this vehicle full of his signature eerie rants and buffoonery. Otherwise, expect a quaint but creepy romantic comedy."
8.

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."
9.

Brooklyn's Finest

Atlanta Creative Loafing
03/05/10 Excellent "What sets 'Finest' apart is the way Fuqua seamlessly weaves the characters and their multiple story arcs together.... amazing performances..."
10.

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."
11.

Burlesque (2010)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
11/25/10 Good (Not Great) "At best, it's campy, predictable and pedestrian. Even with so much missing, its still quite entertaining and really fun."
12.

Charlie St. Cloud

Atlanta Creative Loafing
07/30/10 Weak "What starts out as a sappy love letter between brothers slowly, and I mean slowly, turns into a sappy, melodramatic farce... a drawn out bore..."
13.

Chronicle (2012)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
02/08/12 Good (Not Great) "...a great cast, a relatively good script and some killer visual effects make it worth watching. But beware of the predictable pratfalls and heavy moral subtext..."
14.

Cop Out

Atlanta Creative Loafing
02/26/10 Weak "Toward the end, the film moves beyond predictable until you want it to just wrap up as neatly as possible - unfortunately, it does neither."
15.

Cowboys & Aliens

Atlanta Creative Loafing
07/29/11 Weak "...chock full of stuff, but underneath it all, its just not satisfying enough."
16.

Dark Shadows (2012)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
05/10/12 Good (Not Great) "...a quirky, moody dark comedy... family friendly..."
17.

Daybreakers

Atlanta Creative Loafing
01/06/10 Excellent "...stylish, grown-up.... has enough intelligence, action, gore and campiness to satisfy horror buffs and general moviegoers alike."
18.

Death at a Funeral (2010)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
04/16/10 Good (Not Great) "LaBute was smart enough to leave Dean Craig's central story alone and instead focus the energy around an amazing ensemble cast.... a smart and laugh-out-loud movie..."
19.

Devil (2010)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
09/16/10 Poor "There's no salvation for this M. Night Shyamalan inspired horror."
20.

Dinner for Schmucks

Atlanta Creative Loafing
07/30/10 Weak "...derails by just going too far -- never knowing when to rein in the sheer onslaught of buffoonery."
