Rotten 2/4	Rotten 37%	How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)	" Instead of skewering self-important stars and vapid journalists, Friends gets muddled in slapstick and crude humor." Posted Oct 3, 2008
Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 24%	Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008)	" There's little to distinguish this oddly mean-spirited comedy." Posted Feb 8, 2008
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 49%	30 Days of Night (2007)	" 30 Days of Night manages to do for the vampire genre what 28 Days Later did for the zombie flick: give age-old monsters a modern-day makeover." Posted Oct 19, 2007
—	Fresh 67%	The 11th Hour (2007)	Click here to read article Posted Sep 22, 2007
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 78%	You Kill Me (2007)	" *Surely there aren't many emotionally fragile mobster stories left in the Hollywood arsenal. But at least Kill* is a pretty good shot with the laughs.**" Posted Sep 1, 2007
—	Rotten 18%	Maximum Overdrive (1986)	Click here to read article Posted Sep 1, 2007
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 19%	The Invasion (2007)	" Next time the aliens come invading, they may want to pass the brains, hold the lecture." Posted Aug 17, 2007
Fresh 2.5/4	Fresh 89%	Rescue Dawn (2007)	" *As prison-break movies go, Rescue* ranks among the best.**" Posted Jul 5, 2007
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 78%	1408 (2007)	" A faithful and creepy adaptation of [King's] 2002 short story." Posted Jun 22, 2007
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 54%	Eagle Vs. Shark (2007)	" Eagle vs. Shark is the kind of movie Hollywood should make but rarely does." Posted Jun 14, 2007
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 49%	Nancy Drew (2007)	" The fish-out-of-water jokes often fall flat." Posted Jun 14, 2007
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 37%	The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)	" Once you accept that Fantastic Four is not trying to be anything deeper than popcorn fare, the ride can be fun -- with an ending more satisfying than Spider-Man 3." Posted Jun 14, 2007
Rotten 1/4	Rotten 44%	Hostel: Part II (2007)	" Any semblance of suspense quickly gives way to buzz saws, drill bits and sickles. And the movie ends so abruptly, one has to think the filmmakers ran out of either money or prosthetic body parts." Posted Jun 8, 2007
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 55%	Vacancy (2007)	" It's welcome to see another movie that relies more on apprehension and suspense than torture chambers. Vacancy might not get Mr. Hitchcock smiling from above. But he won't be spinning in his grave, either." Posted Apr 20, 2007
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 57%	Deja Vu (2006)	" D�j� Vu cannot escape the weight of its murky science, action-film formula and preposterous ending." Posted Nov 21, 2006
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 37%	The Guardian (2006)	" Kutcher may soon be ready to anchor a Hollywood sea voyage. But for now, he's still a touch out of his depth." Posted Sep 29, 2006
Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 39%	Beerfest (2006)	" Beerfest plays like a party that's gone on too long, when the buzz has worn off and the hangover starts to set in." Posted Aug 25, 2006
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 20%	Step Up (2006)	" *For a movie about dancing, Step Up* is pretty clumsy on its feet.**" Posted Aug 12, 2006
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 74%	Monster House (2006)	" *The movie treats children with respect. Monster's* pre-teens are sarcastic, think they're smarter than their parents and are going crazy over the opposite sex.**" Posted Jul 21, 2006
Fresh 3.5/4	Rotten 40%	My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006)	" Girlfriend skewers both superhero films and romantic comedies. And it does so with surprising deftness; Girlfriend is not only the funniest film of summer; it may be the best superhero film since Spider-Man." Posted Jul 20, 2006
Rotten 2/4	Fresh 62%	Clerks II (2006)	" *Kevin Smith has grown up, even if his films haven't. That might explain why Clerks II* can't quite decide how old it wants to act.**" Posted Jul 20, 2006
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 13%	Little Man (2006)	" *Give the Wayans brothers some credit. For a movie that could have fallen flat on its infantile face, Man* scores some points for thinking big.**" Posted Jul 13, 2006
