1. 10/07/11 Poor "...reprehensible, dismaying, ugly, artless and an affront to any notion, however remote, of human decency."
2. 10/07/10 Poor "...despicable remake of the despicable 1978 film 'I Spit on Your Grave' adds yet another offense: a phony moral equivalency."
3. 03/02/12 Poor "I was willing to Get It, I was sincerely prepared, but at the end of this experience, I concluded there was nothing to be Got."
4.

Battle: Los Angeles

Chicago Sun-Times
03/11/11 Poor "...noisy, violent, ugly and stupid.... a science-fiction film that's an insult to the words 'science' and 'fiction,' and the hyphen in between them."
5.

The Last Airbender

Chicago Sun-Times
06/30/10 Poor "...an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented."
6.

The Limits of Control

Chicago Sun-Times
05/07/09 Poor "Jarmusch is making some kind of a point. I think the point is that if you strip a story down to its bare essentials, you will have very little left."
7. 02/15/13 Poor "I found myself thinking at the screen: Give it up, Charlie Sheen. It's getting old. The purpose of this film didn't last long enough for it to justify being released."
8.

V/H/S

Chicago Sun-Times
10/05/12 Poor "...an example of the found-footage genre at its least compelling.... What's the point? None of the segments is particularly compelling.... it's way too much of a muchness."
9.

The Babymakers

Chicago Sun-Times
08/03/12 Poor "...utterly clueless about its tone and has no idea how relentlessly it is undercutting itself. By the time we arrive at the obligatory happy ending, I felt sort of insulted."
10.

Darling Companion

Chicago Sun-Times
04/27/12 Poor "It is depressing to reflect on the wealth of talent that conspired to make this inert and listless movie.... How could it be such thin soup?"
11.

The Raid: Redemption

Chicago Sun-Times
03/23/12 Poor "...almost brutally cynical... director Gareth Evans knows there's a fanboy audience for his formula, in which special effects amp up the mayhem in senseless carnage."
12.

The Sitter (2011)

Chicago Sun-Times
12/09/11 Poor "I am so very, very tired of movies like this.... It causes me a real pang to report that 'The Sitter' was directed by David Gordon Green..."
13.

New Year's Eve (2011)

Chicago Sun-Times
12/09/11 Poor "How is it possible to assemble more than two dozen stars in a movie and find nothing interesting for any of them to do?"
14.

Paranormal Activity 3

Chicago Sun-Times
10/19/11 Poor "Let's say you like popcorn during a movie. 'Paranormal Activity 3' is like eating the cardboard box."
15.

Seven Days In Utopia

Chicago Sun-Times
09/02/11 Poor "The geezer is named Johnny Crawford, played by Robert Duvall. Only a great actor could give such a bad performance."
16.

A Good Old Fashioned Orgy

Chicago Sun-Times
09/02/11 Poor "It strands fairly likable actors in a morass of the kind of dialogue only stupid characters ever say... No one in the movie has a morsel of intelligence."
17. 06/28/11 Poor "...a visually ugly film with an incoherent plot, wooden characters and inane dialog. It provided me with one of the more unpleasant experiences I've had at the movies."
18.

Film Socialisme

Chicago Sun-Times
06/10/11 Poor "...an affront. It is incoherent, maddening, deliberately opaque and heedless of the ways in which people watch movies."
19.

Atlas Shrugged: Part I

Chicago Sun-Times
04/15/11 Poor "...anticlimactic... I suspect only someone very familiar with Rand's 1957 novel could understand the film at all, and I doubt they will be happy with it."
20.

Your Highness

Chicago Sun-Times
04/08/11 Poor "...a juvenile excrescence that feels like the work of 11-year-old boys.... That this is the work of David Gor­don Green beggars the imagination."
