ROTTEN TOMATOES: Jolene Mendez

JOLENE MENDEZ

Agrees with the Tomatometer 68% of the time.

Biography: Constantly busy,busy,busy. That's me, I have a love for movies and Hollywood since I was 5. I may not be the greatest writer in the World and you may not agree with my opinion, but hopefully you'll find something you enjoy from it. In the mean time I love animals and am a volunteer for the Humane Society and when I am not busy with that I work full time in a surgeons office. In the evenings I get to enjoy the wonderful work offered through the film industry and have come to find that this is a new hobby I enjoy very much. Other than that I love to TRAVEL!!

Rotten 2/5	Rotten 31%	Ninja Assassin (2009)	" "Ninja Assassin" will not be enjoyed by all, specifically the female crowd who will feel assassinated by this action film." Posted Nov 30, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 92%	Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)	" Wes Anderson offered the most unique animation this year and great dialogue; dialogue that was perfected with performances by George Clooney, Jason Schwartzman and Meryl Streep." Posted Nov 30, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 44%	The Box (2009)	" A box full of boredom." Posted Nov 18, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 18%	The Fourth Kind (2009)	" The "The Fourth Kind" poses as another successful documentary on the hot trail of "Paranormal Activity". Too bad this film is missing many ingredients to make it a blockbuster success." Posted Nov 18, 2009

Fresh 5/5	Fresh 83%	Whip It (2009)	" It takes girl power to the extreme and made me wish I was a roller derby girl. Jam packed full of excitement, action, humor and intensity." Posted Oct 16, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 12%	Couples Retreat (2009)	" Bora Bora was a beautiful location to film at and added that much needed taste of paradise to a rather bitter sweet subject of a troubled marriage." Posted Oct 16, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 24%	Law Abiding Citizen (2009)	" "Law Abiding Citizen" is a sizzling hot thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish." Posted Oct 16, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 73%	Where the Wild Things Are (2009)	" "Where the Wild Things Are" was always a fun book as a child. However it is a daunting task to turn a short story into a feature film." Posted Oct 16, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 57%	The Invention of Lying (2009)	" Pushing the envelope with many jokes and original ideas it could have been a masterpiece, but turning it into a romantic comedy and starring Gervais does not make that true." Posted Oct 5, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 89%	Zombieland (2009)	" "Zombieland" is the freshness the box office needed with its witty writing, directing and outstanding performances." Posted Oct 5, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 27%	Fame (2009)	" Can't remember any of their names, except for one. Kudos to Kherington Payne who has come a long way since 'So You Think You Can Dance'. Only standout performance in my book." Posted Sep 25, 2009

Rotten 1/5	Fresh 63%	Extract (2009)	" Could not survive the bland dialogue and what a misuse of Kristen Wiig." Posted Sep 11, 2009

Fresh 3/5	Fresh 65%	Adam (2009)	" Surprising tale of love and perseverance. Writer Max Mayer deals with the touchy subject beautifully, and Hugh Dancy proves to be a noteworthy star with his performance." Posted Aug 28, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 9%	Post Grad (2009)	" Burnett even offering one of her best comical acts could not save the lousy uninspired script." Posted Aug 21, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 26%	The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard (2009)	" "The Goods" has to imply an antonym as it is far from good. Despite starring the Emmy award winning Jeremy Piven, the writing destroyed any chance of success." Posted Aug 15, 2009

Fresh 4/5	Fresh 67%	Bruno (2009)	" Kudos to the amazing Sacha Baron Cohen who offers one of the best characters since 2006, an actor who can remain in character even with a gun to his head." Posted Jul 13, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 66%	Public Enemies (2009)	" As much as the film had bang for the buck, it just did not cut it." Posted Jun 28, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 47%	My Sister's Keeper (2009)	" Two hours later I felt as if I was heartless, as all this film did was make me wish I had the last two hours back even after all the melodramatic pain and suffering." Posted Jun 26, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 66%	Away We Go (2009)	" Maya Rudolph and John Krasinski's journey will leave viewers pleased that they tagged along for the ride." Posted Jun 26, 2009

Fresh 3/5	Rotten 23%	Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009)	" Not only a comical view of a shopaholic, but an educational one too." Posted Jun 17, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 51%	The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)	" Travolta as the bad guy unfortunately did not work. I think if Washington & Travolta's roles had been reversed perhaps we would have had fireworks." Posted Jun 12, 2009

Fresh 5/5	Fresh 92%	Drag Me To Hell (2009)	" How do you craft a horror film to perfection? Just add Sam Raimi to the mix to get the perfect brew of blood, sacrifices and a gypsy curse while leaving viewers dying for more." Posted May 29, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 44%	Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009)	" Upstaging its predecessor with colorful new characters and energy the kids will love." Posted May 22, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 32%	Terminator Salvation (2009)	" If you are looking for something positive from the Terminator Salvation, look for Arnold Schwarzenegger's computer generated re-birth." Posted May 20, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 36%	Angels & Demons (2009)	" Catholics need not worry as "Angels & Demons" falls short in offering anything more to viewers than a lighter wallet." Posted May 17, 2009
