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

Fresh	Fresh 84%	Me and Orson Welles (2009)	" *The only thing is it's grammatically incorrect. Shouldn't it be Orson Welles and I?" — Can Magazine* Posted Dec 5, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 80%	Michael Jackson's This Is It (2009)	" Yes, this was worth doing... His practice is our awesome." — Can Magazine Posted Oct 28, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 72%	Monsters vs. Aliens (2009)	" It does take a long time to explain the story for a movie that's totally summed up in its title." — Can Magazine Posted Mar 26, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 4%	Miss March (2009)	" The whole movie feels like these guys watched some other movie 100 times and thought they could do the same thing. So in their head, this is ... hilarious, but not to anyone else." — Can Magazine Posted Mar 13, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 64%	Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)	" They did another one, and probably better than the original, but I'm simply tolerant." — Can Magazine Posted Nov 14, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 18%	Max Payne (2008)	" What are you going to do? It's cool to be the first game to put players in control of a John Woo gunfight, but to be yet another movie waving double guns in slow motion, not so much." — Can Magazine Posted Nov 2, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 15%	My Best Friend's Girl (2008)	" *Hitch has nothing on My Best Friend's Girl... the best romance since The Notebook." — Can Magazine* Posted Sep 26, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 15%	Mirrors (2008)	" By the time he pulls a gun on someone pivotal to the mystery, it's not that the movie is doing 24. It's just that the movie has no motivation for that character to be involved, so they force it, via his Jack Bauer moves." — Can Magazine Posted Aug 16, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 13%	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	" Makes me miss Uwe Boll." — Can Magazine Posted Aug 3, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 13%	Made of Honor (2008)	" The film just revels in gay jokes and marriage clich�s. There's no actual awkwardness to Tom doing a traditionally female job, so they just call him gay over and over and over." — Can Magazine Posted May 9, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 57%	Married Life (2008)	" One of those little movies that really only exists on the radar because big names were in it." — Can Magazine Posted Mar 7, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 23%	Mad Money (2008)	" Queen Latifah seems to be going through the whole movie with the attitude of 'Yeah, I know%u2026'" — Can Magazine Posted Jan 19, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 52%	Margot at the Wedding (2007)	" Everything feels very random, and not in an 'oh, that's the way life goes' collection of events. It's more in an 'I can't think of anything that would happen so I'll just throw something in there' kind of way." — Can Magazine Posted Nov 17, 2007
Fresh	Rotten 37%	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	" The kind of movie that almost makes me want to cry for joy at the end because I feel like, 'Yeah, they did it.'" — Can Magazine Posted Nov 17, 2007
Rotten	Rotten 31%	Martian Child (2007)	" Cusack could do for parenting movies what he did for romantic comedies. This is a rocky start." — Can Magazine Posted Nov 3, 2007
Fresh	Rotten 31%	Music Within (2007)	" *It would be nice if such an important issue got a better screen treatment, but hey, it's better than Blood Diamond. At least it's not wasting vast resources trying to show how important it is." — Can Magazine* Posted Oct 26, 2007
Rotten	Rotten 13%	Mr. Woodcock (2007)	" I'll give them three big laughs, but those were just flukes." — Can Magazine Posted Sep 14, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 62%	Music and Lyrics (2007)	" Hugh Grant is the man... if modern musicians wrote like this, I'd buy a lot more music." — Can Magazine Posted Feb 14, 2007
Rotten	Rotten 54%	Marie Antoinette (2006)	" *For all the rock music, modern dialogue and lack of accents, Marie Antoinette* is not that different from most historical/political biopics.*" — Can Magazine* Posted Oct 19, 2006
Rotten	Rotten 21%	Man of the Year (2006)	" Hey, it's Robin Williams getting elected president. Why would you turn that movie into some espionage thriller?" — Can Magazine Posted Oct 13, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 74%	Monster House (2006)	" Sure to give your kids nightmare. Like the best movie monsters, the monster house has a real tragedy at the heart of its backstory." — Can Magazine Posted Jul 20, 2006
Fresh	Rotten 40%	My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006)	" Everything that might be annoying in a romantic comedy works here." — Can Magazine Posted Jul 20, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 69%	Mission: Impossible III (2006)	" Proves that J.J. Abrams is the best at the espionage action thriller genre. I'm just sad that this will solidify him as a film director. I want my fix every week." — Suite101.com Posted May 4, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 77%	Munich (2005)	" Any of the problems I had with it are about personal preference, but I know you don't get everything you want every time." — About.com Posted Dec 22, 2005
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 98%	Murderball (2005)	" With all the summer movies disappointing audiences, here's one that's sure to give you your thrills." — IGN Movies Posted Sep 23, 2005
Fresh	Fresh 98%	Murderball (2005)	" *The Fast and the Furious* of quadriplegic sports documentaries... should really be the material of a Disney sports movie, sort of a paralyzed Mighty Ducks.*" — About.com* Posted Jul 7, 2005
Fresh	Rotten 58%	Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005)	" *What more could you want than to see two beautiful people fight, chase, shoot, dance and make up? It�s When Harry Met Sally* with guns.*" — About.com* Posted Jun 9, 2005
Fresh	Rotten 55%	Madagascar (2005)	" They played a rectal thermometer joke. I�ve always been trying to find a way to work rectal thermometers into my writing, and I just couldn�t." — About.com Posted May 26, 2005
Fresh	Rotten 14%	Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous (2005)	" *For giving us a completely new story about the further adventures of Gracie Hart, Miss Congeniality 2* is a fine sequel.*" — About.com* Posted Mar 24, 2005
Fresh	N/A	The Monster Legacy Gift Set (1931)	" This is what DVDs should be for. Though these two-disc sets take advantage of multiple sides, they pack several films in and still give a complete set of extras." — About.com Posted Apr 29, 2004
Rotten	Rotten 59%	The Missing (2003)	" Doesn't even feel like a movie. The film just bounces from event to event without a feeling of cohesion. Tommy Lee Jones is a bit ridiculous." — About.com Posted Nov 25, 2003
Fresh	Rotten 37%	The Matrix Revolutions (2003)	" The robot walkers look like the love child of ED-209 and the T-800 endoskeleton.The war cries of the Zion army sound like bad Rambo impressions.But this is a satisfying movie." — About.com Posted Nov 6, 2003
Rotten	Fresh 87%	Mystic River (2003)	" When someone sets out to tell a story about child molestation and murder of teenagers, you don�t expect a happy, fun time... but the story doesn�t say anything unique about these depressing subjects." — About.com Posted Oct 9, 2003
Fresh	Fresh 83%	Matchstick Men (2003)	" But what you really want to know is: Does Nicolas Cage have a freakout scene? It wouldn�t be a Nic Cage movie unless he flipped out, and indeed he does." — About.com Posted Sep 11, 2003
Rotten	Rotten 18%	The Medallion (2003)	" There is a kitchen/dance montage that belongs in a David Lynch movie. Chan and Evans make desert together, then Chan dances with Forlani. I was waiting for Robert Blake to pop out and tell everybody that they�re not really here." — About.com Posted Aug 24, 2003
Fresh	Fresh 73%	The Matrix Reloaded (2003)	" The Matrix Reloaded is not the end all be all of movies. Nothing is. But it�s great. It out-Matrixes the original Matrix with its fight scenes, car chase and philosophical insight." — About.com Posted Jul 14, 2003
