JEFF GILES

Agrees with the Tomatometer 100% of the time.

Biography: I'm a freelance music and film critic, which means a lot of people mistake me for Newsweek's Jeff Giles (I even get his mail sometimes). I am not Newsweek's Jeff Giles. Also, I like long walks on the beach.

Favorites: "Nobody's Fool," "Big Trouble in Little China," "Spinal Tap," "Big Fish," "Better Off Dead," "Die Hard," "400 Blows"

Rating	T-Meter	« Title \| Year	Add Date (default)

Rotten	Fresh 66%	Away We Go (2009)	" Away We Go is a wonderfully visual film, full of nifty, rewarding small touches. It�s clear a lot of love went into the movie -- but sadly, it�s a mystery as to why." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Oct 19, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 70%	Batman (1989)	" When everyone in your cast comes off pretty much as smarmy as Robert Wuhl, you�re in deep trouble." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted May 25, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 59%	Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971)	" I wasn�t exactly foaming at the mouth to watch this, and I doubt there are many people who consider it one of Disney�s finest, but all things considered, it�s really a pretty entertaining movie." — Dadnabbit DVD REVIEW Posted Oct 19, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 51%	Body of Lies (2008)	" Ultimately, neither Scott nor screenwriter William Monahan (who adapted the David Ignatius novel) can come up with a movie that really works, either as an action thriller or a political statement." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Feb 15, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 88%	Bolt (2008)	" Maybe it�s just the low expectations talking, but in the end, what I expected to be a powerful new blend of suck proved instead to be an utterly charming little kid�s movie." — Dadnabbit DVD REVIEW Posted Apr 2, 2009
Fresh	N/A	Bunnytown - Hello Bunnies (2009)	" A lot of it seems more suited to between-show bumpers on a network like Noggin than a full-length television series, but that works well with the short attention span of Bunnytown�s target demographic..." — Dadnabbit DVD REVIEW Posted Mar 16, 2009
N/A	Fresh 92%	Children of Men (2006)	" Ten Sci-Fi Flicks for the Thinking Man" — Rotten Tomatoes FEATURE Posted Jan 7, 2009
Fresh 4/5	N/A	Classic Albums - The Who: Who's Next (1971)	" Well worth picking up for the music geek in your life." — Bullz-Eye.com DVD REVIEW Posted Oct 16, 2007
Rotten 0/5	Rotten 7%	Conversations with God (2006)	" The cinematography has all the flair and depth of your average episode of �Yes, Dear�; the score is a giggle-inducing juggernaut of obviousness; Eric DelaBarre�s script contains virtually no believable dialogue; and Stephen Simons� direction carries the s" — Bullz-Eye.com Posted Dec 7, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 86%	Earth (2009)	" So stunningly gorgeous that it might be the first true �gotta have it� purchase for Blu-ray owners." — Dadnabbit DVD REVIEW Posted Oct 19, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 93%	Encounters At the End of the World (2007)	" We've had a lot of film crews journey to various bits of frozen tundra over the last decade or so, but nobody combines disdain for humanity with a curious spirit quite like Herzog, and his work here is typically, appropriately iconoclastic." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Nov 16, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 77%	Falling Down (1993)	" It�s my contention that Joel Schumacher has never (and most likely will never) make another film as timely, smart, and important as 1993�s Falling Down." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted May 25, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 32%	Fanboys (2009)	" It�s innocuous enough, in a television movie sort of way, but in the era of destigmatized direct-to-video productions, there was never any reason for Fanboys to show up in theaters." — Collider.com DVD REVIEW Posted Jun 3, 2009
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 31%	Flashdance (1983)	" There�s something real in here, and it could have made it to the screen, but the people involved were too shortsighted to see it through." — Bullz-Eye.com Posted Oct 16, 2007
Fresh	Rotten 25%	Four Christmases (2008)	" At its best, Four Christmases is maybe half as good as Christmas Vacation, but it has a couple of things going for it: First, Tim Allen is nowhere to be found, and second, seeing Vince Vaughn abused never gets old." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Nov 30, 2009
Fresh	N/A	Friday Night Lights - The Third Season ()	" If you�ve somehow missed the many opportunities to live among the residents of Dillon, Texas, now�s as good a time as any to make the move." — Collider.com DVD REVIEW Posted Jun 3, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 25%	Friday the 13th (2009)	" Platinum Dunes is all but certain to screw things up with the sequel, gearing up now, but they deserve a round of polite, bloodstained applause for this chapter." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Jun 21, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 53%	Get Smart (2008)	" Basically, what it does is take Michael Scott from The Office, give him the skills of an assassin, and set him loose in the Russian countryside with Anne Hathaway. More often than not, it's a lot of fun." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Nov 16, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 80%	Gran Torino (2008)	" If this really is Clint's on-screen coda, he picked a helluva way to go out." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Jun 8, 2009
Fresh 3/5	N/A	Greatest American Hero - Deluxe Collector's (1981)	" Sets like these often make you question what the hell you were thinking when you tuned in the first time around, but in this case, nostalgia will likely outweigh buyer�s remorse." — Bullz-Eye.com Posted Oct 16, 2007
Fresh	N/A	Heroes Season 2 (2008)	" This time out, the writers were content to let storylines dawdle for weeks, a problem compounded when that nasty old writers' strike reared its head and the show's producers were left with a truncated 11-episode run." — Popdose Posted Nov 16, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 82%	I Love You, Man (2009)	" Only [Jason] Segel could turn drooling on Lou Ferrigno into an act of comic genius." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Aug 12, 2009
N/A	Fresh 84%	Jerry Maguire (1996)	" Gridiron Greats: 10 Tomatometer-Approved Football Classics" — Rotten Tomatoes FEATURE Posted Jan 31, 2008
Fresh 3/5	N/A	Live From the Artists Den - Patty Griffin (2007)	" A set as solidly entertaining as you�d expect from an artist of Griffin�s caliber." — Bullz-Eye.com Posted Dec 1, 2007
Fresh	Rotten 53%	Mamma Mia! (2008)	" *I finished watching this movie almost 24 hours ago, and I�m still sort of awestruck by it, because Mamma Mia!* is both the most painful and most fun movie I�ve seen in a very long time.*" — Popdose* DVD REVIEW Posted Dec 7, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 92%	Mary and Max (2009)	" Like Mary and Max�s friendship, this movie is an act of tenderness that will linger long after the closing credits roll." — Collider.com Posted Oct 19, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 93%	Milk (2008)	" A garden-variety biopic with a stellar pedigree." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Mar 16, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 47%	My Sister's Keeper (2009)	" No bets are hedged and no opportunity for melodrama is left untaken; if the movie has a chance to beat you over the head, it will." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Nov 30, 2009
Fresh	N/A	My Two Dads - Season One (1987)	" It isn�t the best television you�ve ever seen...but it made an effort to be something more than funny -- and it actually wasn�t half bad at being funny, either..." — Bullz-Eye.com DVD REVIEW Posted Feb 23, 2009
Fresh	N/A	Night Court: The Complete Second Season ()	" I was very pleasantly surprised. Matter of fact, I think I laughed out loud at least once during each of these 22 episodes." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Feb 15, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 50%	Observe and Report (2009)	" Ronnie Barnhardt was a problematic role, and Observe and Report is a troubled film, but Rogen makes the best of it." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Oct 19, 2009
Fresh 3/5	N/A	Opus & Bill - A Wish For Wings That Work (1991)	" Talking animals, brightly colored animation, a heartwarming moral to the story�what else could you possibly want out of a holiday �toon?" — Bullz-Eye.com Posted Dec 1, 2007
Fresh	N/A	Palo Alto, CA (2007)	" Although this isn�t exactly an auspicious debut for director and co-writer Brad Leong, it does offer limited proof of noteworthy potential..." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Feb 15, 2009
Fresh	N/A	Paul Simon and Friends - The Library of Congress Gereshwin Prize For Popular Song (2007)	" A wonderfully pleasant surprise." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted May 25, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 95%	Pete Seeger - The Power of Song (2007)	" You need to see this movie." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Nov 16, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 50%	Pete's Dragon (1977)	" It generally falls into the �charming but anachronistically hokey� category Disney aimed for until the �80s." — Dadnabbit DVD REVIEW Posted Oct 19, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 100%	Pinocchio (1940)	" Disney�s certainly guilty of raiding the vaults at the slightest provocation, but the Platinum Edition line presents the ideal marriage of great content and new technology." — Dadnabbit DVD REVIEW Posted Mar 16, 2009
Fresh	N/A	Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie (2005)	" Delivers all the sweet, modestly paced adventure we look for in our Pooh movies." — Dadnabbit DVD REVIEW Posted Oct 19, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 64%	Quantum of Solace (2008)	" It�s a bit of a letdown after Casino Royale, but still miles better than anything to come out of the franchise for a couple of decades before that, and its satisfying resolution points the way toward more consistently entertaining chapters in the series." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Mar 16, 2009
Rotten 2/5	N/A	Rock Relief: Live In Concert (2006)	" *If a disaster relief concert is held, and is itself* a disaster, who raises money for the concert's victims?*" — Bullz-Eye.com* Posted Oct 16, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 93%	Slumdog Millionaire (2008)	" The movie sweeps you up in an unapologetically corny embrace, and doesn�t let you go until the final chords of the ludicrously wonderful dance number that plays over the closing credits." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Mar 16, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 98%	Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)	" Make sure you put a pillow under your mouth the first time you watch the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Diamond Edition transfer, because your jaw is going to drop." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Oct 19, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 50%	Spring Breakdown (2008)	" The only way it might have been harder to watch is if someone in the cast had stabbed a baby seal to death with a butter knife at the end of every scene." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Jun 3, 2009
Rotten 1/5	N/A	Styx - One With Everything (2006)	" This is horrible in the least interesting way possible." — Bullz-Eye.com DVD REVIEW Posted Oct 16, 2007
Fresh	Rotten 32%	Terminator Salvation (2009)	" It rarely lags, the special effects are first-rate, and Sam Worthington shows the most acting talent any action hero has displayed since Brian Bosworth pretended to tackle Bo Jackson." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted Nov 30, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 11%	The Architect (2006)	" It would bear mentioning that nothing winds up being resolved in the film, if it weren�t for the fact that there�s nothing to resolve." — Bullz-Eye.com Posted Dec 30, 2006
Rotten	Fresh 71%	The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)	" Without giving too much away, let me just tell you that the film�s final act resulted in me giving the finger to a hummingbird and stalking out of the room." — Popdose DVD REVIEW Posted May 6, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 39%	The Rocker (2008)	" Perhaps The Rocker�s most annoying feature is that it isn�t completely terrible." — Collider.com Posted Jan 8, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 58%	The Secret Life of Bees (2008)	" If only The Secret Life of Bees was more of a feature-length drama and less of a Lifetime feature of the week." — Collider.com DVD REVIEW Posted Feb 23, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 90%	The Visitor (2008)	" It�s sort of the anti-Death Wish, offering a glimpse of city life that�s rife with hope and brotherhood." — Collider.com DVD REVIEW Posted Feb 15, 2009
