1. 03/18/11 Poor "...the most incomprehensible movie of the millennium.... the noise level reminds me of Canal Street in Chinatown on a Sunday afternoon."
2.

Hatchet II

New York Post
10/01/10 Poor " 'I've never been so f - - - ing scared in my life,' one swamp hunter declares. To which this critic replies, 'I've never been so f - - - ing bored in my life.' "
3.

Burzynski

New York Post
06/04/10 Poor "...billed as a documentary but plays like a paid ad.... Stanislaw Burzynski, a Polish-born doctor, claims to cure brain cancer with animal urine.... dull, dull, dull, even for an infomercial."
4. 07/10/09 Poor "This isn't really happening, any of it,' somebody remarks on screen about halfway through... Sadly it is."
5. 01/20/12 Poor "...nearly unwatchable by jumping back and forth in time, using screens within screens and bouncing between color and black-and-white. These stylish quirks serve only to diminish what little momentum there is."
6. 01/13/12 Poor "Completely lacking in imagination and purpose, this vanity project might suffice as a home movie, but it's hardly worth the expense and bother of seeing it in a theater."
7.

Tied to a Chair

New York Post
05/27/11 Poor "...a chaotic mess.... It starts out promisingly enough as one of those genteel British comedies seen on PBS, but quickly loses its way... any viewer who hasn't been tied to his or her seat will have fled the theater."
8.

Footprints (2011)

New York Post
04/15/11 Poor "...the script's so incoherent and the acting so amateurish that it makes the worst old-time Hollywood B-flick seem like 'Citizen Kane.' "
9. 02/27/09 Poor "The toilet caper is the lowest point of a movie with many low points, including bad acting and a generic script.... You can see junk like this any night on cable TV, so why waste time and money going out?"
10.

Memorial Day (2009)

New York Post
02/06/09 Poor "The storyless movie is divided roughly into two parts. The first is in 'Girls Gone Wild' mode, only raunchier and more disturbing.... But wait. Without warning, the revelers morph into US troops abusing Iraqi civilians in an Abu Ghraib setting."
11.

The ABCs of Death

New York Post
03/08/13 Poor "A few are worthwhile.... But most are exercises in sickening bad taste, with an emphasis on human bodily functions."
12.

Death by China

New York Post
08/24/12 Poor "...tells us little we don't already know and is overwhelmingly one-sided. It would make a nice TV infomercial, but certainly doesn't deserve a big-screen release."
13. 05/04/12 Poor "Watching the vanity project is like being forced to sit through a friend's boring home movies. You're better off hunting down a DVD of one of Amos Kollek's old features."
14. 04/13/12 Poor "...a contrived and preachy melodrama produced by big-time televangelist T.D. Jakes.... When I want to commune with my Maker, I go to church."
15. 02/10/12 Poor "...boring lectures by Muhammad Yunus and pedantic commentary by Holly Mosher... has all the excitement of an infomercial touting mattresses."
16. 01/13/12 Poor "...dashes from incident to incident without pausing to give viewers what they really need: insight into what made Lula tick.... little is offered here about his psyche."
17.

The Flowers of War

New York Post
12/23/11 Poor "...a ludicrous soap opera... Battle scenes are spectacular -- great explosions! -- but most of the screen time is taken up by a contrived and schmaltzy script..."
18.

Damn!

New York Post
08/12/11 Poor "...a lightweight documentary about Jimmy McMillan, a 64-year-old African-American who ran for governor of New York on the Rent Is Too Damn High party ticket... little more than a rehash of old news."
19.

Hobo With a Shotgun

New York Post
05/06/11 Poor "...director Jason Eisener has no idea how to give violence a touch of class."
20. 04/22/11 Poor "If there's a fresh idea in 'When Harry Tries To Marry,' I couldn't find it. So clichéd that it took me just 15 minutes to figure out where the story was headed.... no more than a TV sitcom minus the laugh track."
