Rotten 1/5	Rotten 16%	Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009)	" How this ever got released is a mystery. Unwatchable, almost unreviewable, this stupid monster movie makes the Bela Lugosi swan song Plan 9 from Outer Space look like a masterpiece." Posted Aug 11, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Fresh 62%	Beautiful Losers (2008)	" As you watch the movie wholeheartedly and uncritically celebrate the group�s �nonconformist� ethos (shouldn�t someone gently break it to them?), you can feel the energy being sucked out of you." Posted Aug 11, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 52%	Martyrs (2008)	" The air of pretentiousness and the whiff of lesbian chic suggest that the bunch of nihilists who produced this garbage will claim something for it. All it really demonstrates is that there is something seriously rotten in the state of France." Posted Mar 31, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 24%	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	" In the hands of the director Vadim Perelman, it becomes a jumble of dramatic scenes and disorientating flashbacks that merge into a confusing, stream-of-consciousness narrative, and the twist, when it comes, is a complete cheat." Posted Mar 31, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Fresh 77%	Genova (2008)	" Winterbottom employs a naturalistic style that, in its self-conscious flatness, becomes an affectation, and the complete, wanton lack of any kind of drama is frustrating." Posted Mar 31, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 46%	Hotel for Dogs (2009)	" The dogs are never quite as entertaining as they should be for the kids in the audience, and the hypercutesiness and speechifying at the end will lead to much tightening of adult sphincters." Posted Feb 19, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 25%	Friday the 13th (2009)	" This �reimagining�, by the director Marcus Nispel, of the 1980 slasher movie is one hell of a bore." Posted Feb 19, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 13%	The Pink Panther 2 (2009)	" It�s been a long time (the 1980s, maybe?) since either Cleese or Martin was actually funny, but the director, Harald Zwart, compounds this by displaying zero sense of comedy, employing laboured visual gags and routines with no punch lines."
