Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 89%	Zombieland (2009)	" Zombieland will earn its place right next to Shawn of the Dead as a good comedy." Posted Oct 21, 2009
Fresh 2.5/5	Fresh 82%	Paranormal Activity (2009)	" A bit disappointing to hard-core fright fans, but to new fans of this genre it might get their pulse racing." Posted Oct 21, 2009
Rotten .5/5	Rotten 15%	I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009)	" Most of the characters are one-sided and boring and the actors who play them are so bad the movie suffers for it." Posted Aug 2, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 78%	$9.99 (2009)	" A bit boring and too long" Posted Jul 15, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 38%	Imagine That (2009)	" *About the only bright note in Imagine That* is Yara Shahidi, who is impressive in her film debut - she keeps up with her co-stars comedic antics.**" Posted Jun 17, 2009
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 32%	Terminator Salvation (2009)	" A futile popcorn flick that fails to live up to the franchise standards. Dedicated Terminator fans continually crave to see humans and machines slug it out." Posted May 25, 2009
Fresh 2.5/5	Rotten 36%	Angels & Demons (2009)	" *The basic plot is another chapter of The Da Vinci Code, but Ron Howard's direction is more even in this sequel.*" Posted May 17, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 95%	Star Trek (2009)	" It's disheartening that Deforest Kelly, James Doohan, and series creator Gene Roddenberry won't be able to see their legacy "beam" back to life and continue at warp speed." Posted May 8, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 13%	The Pink Panther 2 (2009)	" Has a few chuckles that would make a younger audience laugh but to experienced movie veterans, laughs are lacking." Posted Feb 8, 2009
Rotten .5/5	Rotten 20%	The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)	" The Day the Earth Stood Still falls flat due to the underused and boring computer graphics and ultra dumb and uninteresting characters." Posted Dec 18, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 64%	Quantum of Solace (2008)	" The movie is not as good as its predecessor and somewhat hard to follow due to the fast-paced dialogue." Posted Nov 30, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 43%	Death Race (2008)	" To a seasoned moviegoer who saw the original film, this version offers nothing new but updated armored cars." Posted Sep 6, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 53%	Get Smart (2008)	" Get Smart might be funny to a 10-year-old but adults need smarter humor." Posted Jun 19, 2008
Fresh 2.5/5	Rotten 48%	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	" For his debut directing role, Schwimmers steers a safe "PG-13" date movie that roots for the underdog and has a good overall message." Posted Mar 28, 2008
Rotten .5/5	Rotten 16%	Jumper (2008)	" Jumper is riddled with plot holes and useless action sequences in a wasted attempt to fill time." Posted Feb 15, 2008
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 21%	Fred Claus (2007)	" Fred Claus is a large lump of coal in your pre-holiday stocking sure to give you a stomach ache after eating too much turkey." Posted Nov 12, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 30%	The Heartbreak Kid (2007)	" Compared to past Farrelly movies, I found the jokes raunchy and cruel rather than funny." Posted Oct 14, 2007
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 90%	The Simpsons Movie (2007)	" The plot isn't the main reason to see this movie; it's the constant jokes and gags churned out from start to finish." Posted Aug 4, 2007
Fresh 2.5/5	Fresh 62%	Spider-Man 3 (2007)	" *Despite having a storyline scattering in too many directions, Spider-Man 3* is a visually stunning and entertaining movie that upholds the immensely popular series.**" Posted May 7, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 69%	Blades of Glory (2007)	" The plot is extremely thin but a spoof of ice skating was inevitable, and I'm glad Ferrell is the one to do it." Posted Apr 2, 2007
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 65%	Black Snake Moan (2007)	" *In Black Snake* Moan Brewer balances race, religion, and sexuality in a strange yet intriguing storyline that exposes the human soul and how some people deal with emotional pain.**" Posted Mar 3, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 11%	The Messengers (2007)	" The Messengers falls flat with its tedious plot, clich�d storyline and unsurprising twist." Posted Feb 4, 2007
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 19%	The Hitcher (2007)	" The Hitcher uses every slasher film clich�, is frustrating to watch, and ultimately I didn't care about the predictable ending." Posted Jan 24, 2007
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 56%	Alpha Dog (2007)	" Despite some rather surprisingly good acting by some of the most unlikely of cast members, the film's directing and editing style ultimately ruin Alpha Dog." Posted Jan 15, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 95%	Pan's Labyrinth (2006)	" The acting is superb, and Baquero steals the movie." Posted Jan 15, 2007
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 62%	Clerks II (2006)	" Most of the dialogue is geared towards young teenagers who mindlessly argue about things that really don't matter in real life." Posted Jul 26, 2006
Fresh 2.5/5	Rotten 56%	X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)	" Brett Ratner delivers the action but the punch doesn't stand up to the previous two films." Posted May 29, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 86%	Thank You For Smoking (2006)	" Intelligent and witty from start to finish and by far the best satire comedy of the year." Posted Mar 29, 2006
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 73%	V For Vendetta (2005)	" Never lags for a second" Posted Mar 23, 2006
