"...isn't a film for the weak-stomached nor the faint of heart, but it is a whole lot more than just carnage. The Samurai wouldn't have it any other way and neither would I." |

"This film argues the President of the United States is intentionally making decisions against America's best interests.... Biased is okay. Poorly executed is not." |

Good (Not Great) |
"...very conventional.... Occasionally, it even feels a little sappy and rushed, but its heart is in the right place and it never shies away from the truth." |

Moderate |
"...unapologetically crass.... doesn't hold back, and given all the blandly offensive spoof films we've seen over the last decade, that's actually refreshing." |

Poor |
"The film has half of a heart, which is about the worst percentage possible for a comedy.... It's ping pong at its finest and filmmaking at its most confounding." |

Very Good |
"...presents a worthwhile and engaging portrait of life in the wild.... Even with its disjointed narrative, 'African Cats' is still edge of your seat excitement." |

Poor |
"...a hollow mess of wasted and wonderful performances. There's a great story in here somewhere, it just needed a liberal editor or an extra hour and a half of screen time." |

Poor |
"...isn't very good... It's disposable, overly-reliant on stupid cover songs and extremely formulaic. There's no real emotion, real punch or real purpose for existing." |

Poor |
"There is not one intended scare in the first half of the film, but bizarrely, none of that chunk is used to let the characters speak their minds either. It's all procedural." |

Weak |
"In its worst moments, a fast-paced and laughably formulaic essay on how teenagers don't behave.... the film is much better when it's not trying to be a fairytale." |

Poor |
"...intermittently lazy and apathetic.... not even intermittently funny. I smiled maybe twice. Most of the time, I was just bored and irritated." |

01/17/13 |
Poor |
"...makes a serious effort... but it loses sight of the fact that its primary narrative really isn't that good. Even worse, its characters -- while well-drawn -- aren't fun to watch." |

Poor |
"There's nothing wrong with some good old fashioned stupid in a comedy; it's obvious and lazy that are truly reprehensible.... borders on pathetic." |

08/12/11 |
Poor |
"...an absolute, positive mess that completely wastes one of the most fascinating and fucked-up real life stories the world has ever seen.... stupid, pathetic and obvious." |

"With a few more catchy songs, one signature tune and a little less muddle in character personalities, 'Burlesque' could have been a little better than average..." |

"The acting is top notch.... The cinematography is great. The writing contains a few well-crafted scenes.... but together, it just doesn't completely work." |

Good (Not Great) |
"It's all just mediocre.... It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but thanks to some good acting and a few scares, it turns it fast enough." |

"...mostly good-hearted and well put together.... The first offering in the 'Dairy Of A Wimpy Kid' franchise was decent. This one is a little better than that." |

Weak |
"...beset by boring leads, a running time twenty minutes too long and perhaps worst of all, villains that just aren't that scary." |

Poor |
"...as bad a movie without glaring faults as you will ever see. It just doesn't work. The timing is off, the direction is off and the acting is off." |
