Tomato
3/5

...And God Spoke (1994)

"Mel Gibson should have studied this."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

10 (1979)

"It was a big hit. I have never understood why."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

10,000 B.C. (2008)

"Sets new standards for stupidity. This is like Uwe Boll with a budget. This is the village idiot of movies."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

The 11th Hour (2007)

"What is there to say about The 11th Hour? There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. It does exactly what it sets out to do."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

13 Ghosts (1960)

"Quaint, creaky, and probably worse than the remake"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

13 Going on 30 (2004)

"On the surface it's not a lot more than Big with boobs, but the film has an agreeable charm and considerably more emotional resonance than its obvious inspiration. "

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

1408 (2007)

"Pretty much a standard Stephen King adaptation that wasn't made by Brian DePalma, Stanley Kubrick or David Cronenberg."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1.5/5

16 Blocks (2006)

"A tired-looking Bruce Willis plods his way through this tired-looking rag-bag of cliches churned out by the apparently also-tired director Richard Donner. "

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

18 Again! (1988)

"Hardly the worst of this peculiar sub-genre."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

1941 (1979)

"Everything bad about Spielberg in one bulging package."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

2 Days In Paris (2007)

"The closest anyone has come to making a Woody Allen film apart from Allen himself. Moreover, she's made a good Woody Allen film."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

"2 Fast 2 Furious -- 2 hours of my life I won’t get back."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

20 Million Miles to Earth (1957)

"Nifty effects and the usual 1950s sci-fi acting"

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

2010: The Year We Make Contact (1984)

"2001 was dull and mystifying. This is just dull."

Ken Hanke

Splat
3/5

2012 (2009)

"Emmerich's desire to cram as many hairbreadth escapes and eternities of suspense as possible into one movie ultimately feels more like an eternity plain and simple."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2.5/5

21 (2008)

"A lot of attractive people standing in for real-life nerds, and a plot that knows all the clichés and isn't afraid to use them."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

21 Grams (2003)

"Even when the film doesn't quite jell it's impossible to escape the sense that we're in the presence of a developing filmmaker who's taking us places we've never been."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

25th Hour (2002)

"Lee uses film like a wild-eyed protestor dousing himself with gasoline and striking a match."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

28 Days Later (2003)

"Danny Boyle's new shocker is intense, disturbing, thought-provoking and clearly the horror movie of the year."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

28 Weeks Later (2007)

"The best horror movie in years. It's splattery horror that has brains as well as flying viscera."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

3 Godfathers (1948)

"Gorgeously photographed Ford version of the often filmed story."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

3 Men and a Cradle (1985)

"It went down well in 1985, and it's entertaining enough today, but it never really escapes being a comic rehash of the often-filmed western drama Three Godfathers. "

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

30 Days of Night (2007)

"The premise is slightly intriguing, but the execution is blander than Josh Hartnett's screen presence."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

300 (2007)

"Worst of all, it's a phony spectacle. It's less like watching a movie than it's like watching a parade of production-design sketches flow across the screen."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

The 39 Steps (1935)

"A brilliant piece of pure -- and purely enjoyable -- filmmaking."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

3:10 to Yuma (2007)

"If 3:10 to Yuma can't generate life into that most moribund of genres, the western, then it's probably time to consign the idea to Boot Hill and be done with it."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)

"I'm glad I saw it, even though I can't imagine ever wanting to see it again."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)

"I was annoyed by it, and by its gross predictability -- up to, and including, its banana-oil-filled bromide of an ending."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

The 400 Blows (1959)

"Alive with the joy of filmmaking for its own sake."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

42nd Street (1933)

"The classic backstage musical, still great"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T (1953)

"One day I may understand all the fuss over this."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2.5/5

50 First Dates (2004)

"It's just about impossible to dislike any movie that offers Rob Schneider getting the crap beaten out of him with a baseball bat."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

500 Days of Summer (2009)

"One of those rare highly touted movies that's sometimes even better than the touting would have you believe."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

8 1/2 (1963)

"Brilliant Fellini film -- probably his best."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

8 1/2 Women (1999)

"More than a couple taboos are broken in 8 1/2 Women and as many more are at least badly battered."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

8 Mile (2002)

"If you took the 'f' word in its various permutations, 'yo,' 'man,' 'dawg,' 'word' and the phrase 'my bad' out of Curtis Hanson's 8 Mile, you'd have a silent movie %u2013 and that might be an improvement."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

8 Women (2002)

"Most of the ideas in 8 Women are similar to other things %u2013 and that's both the point and the delight of this strange confection, which can best be described as a highly theatrical musical-comedy version of Gosford Park."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

84 Charing Cross Road (1986)

"By a miracle of writing, acting and direction, what could have been a deadly moviegoing experience is turned into something very like pure gold."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1.5/5

88 Minutes (2008)

"Manages to pack a solid four-stars worth of unintentional hilarity into one-and-a-half-stars worth of bad movie."

Ken Hanke

Splat
3/5

9 (2009)

"Shane Acker brings a lot of visual panache to his film 9. Unfortunately, it's all one flavor of panache, housed in a film that's entirely in one tone."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

9 1/2 Weeks (1986)

"It's an Adrian Lyne picture. Do you need to know more?"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

9 to 5 (1980)

"Seen nearly 30 years later, it actually seems better than ever -- which may be as much a comment on the state of comedy films today as on the quality of Nine to Five."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

976-Evil (1988)

"There are worse horror flicks, but that doesn't make this worth watching."

Ken Hanke
