Would You Rather

New York Post
02/08/13 Poor "...a witless homage to the 'Saw' franchise and its ilk.... If you've never seen or heard of reality television, this film may indeed blow your mind with its on-the-nose moralizing..."
2. 01/07/12 Poor "...the film's ending is unforgivably, inexplicably lame. I really couldn't believe it, and neither could anyone else in the theater."
3. 12/09/11 Poor "I have zero reservations about telling you how much I loathed 'New Year's Eve,' a soul-sucking monument to Hollywood greed and saccharine holiday culture."
4.

The Babymakers

New York Post
08/03/12 Poor "...lame.... in a culture where shows like 'Modern Family' are wildly popular, a dud like 'Babymakers' doesn't even find sticking power in its offensiveness."
5.

The Divide (2012)

New York Post
01/13/12 Poor "By the time we arrive at the finger-chopping, the brutal rape and the pooping on the floor for spite (really), you may sympathize with Milo Ventimiglia's plea to 'Shoot me!' "
6. 12/25/12 Poor "Playing like a big-screen adaptation of an Andy Rooney rant, the movie bravely takes on the scourge of today's wimp-ified parenting.... Hilarious!... Lunacy!"
7.

The Lucky One

New York Post
04/20/12 Poor "...the most enjoyable thing about this Sparks adaptation may be its slow-mo dog-grooming montage."
8.

Project X (2012)

New York Post
03/02/12 Poor "...a middle finger aimed at conventional moviemaking. Unfortunately, it's way lamer than the target of its beer-soaked ire."
9.

A Warrior's Heart

New York Post
12/02/11 Poor "...a risible attempt to bank on 'Twilight's' Kellan Lutz's fan following. His love interest? Why, that would be Ashley Greene, another second-stringer from the vamp franchise."
10.

A Bird of the Air

New York Post
09/23/11 Poor "...more an assembly of quirks than an actual story... at its most entertaining when the parrot does the talking."
11.

The Family Tree

New York Post
08/26/11 Poor "...stale... devolves into way too many quirky subplots involving a Mohawked rebel, a nerdy girl with a leg brace, a Goth lesbian schoolteacher, a pot-smoking preacher..."
12. 03/29/13 Weak "...stylish, unoriginal... Director Eran Creevy ('Shifty') just delivers one straight-faced gunfight after another, signifying nothing."
13.

The Call

New York Post
03/15/13 Weak "I'll say one thing: Its ending is actually a bit of a surprise. Just when you think it couldn't get any stupider, pow! I'll be damned..."
14. 03/08/13 Weak "...squanders the inherent excitement in this Cinderella story, plodding from one performance to the next with unnecessary asides for veteran Journey members..."
15.

Girls Against Boys

New York Post
02/01/13 Weak "...starts out promisingly, but squanders its girl-power capital... lays the groundwork for a subversive female buddy flick, yet fails to make either woman particularly likable."
16.

Knife Fight

New York Post
01/25/13 Weak "...meanders aimlessly around too-familiar territory.... Lowe's charm can't rescue this slapdash screenplay. None of these story lines is substantial enough..."
17.

Alex Cross

New York Post
10/19/12 Weak "...a mess.... Rob Cohen squanders a surprisingly recognizable cast on a half-baked plot.... If you're squeamish, consider yourself warned."
18.

Serving Up Richard

New York Post
09/07/12 Weak "Careening from gore to psychological drama to dark humor, director Henry Olek never commits to a tone.... feels about as substantial as a Happy Meal..."
19.

30 Beats

New York Post
07/20/12 Weak "...sex scenes, done to death, are best left to the imagination -- but only if they're replaced by something more interesting.... hopelessly flaccid."
20.

Crazy Eyes

New York Post
07/06/12 Weak "Unpleasant as it is, you can't exactly call Adam Sherman's perspective misogynistic, if only because the protagonist hates himself every bit as much."
